Condition 

4

The car has undergone significant repairs due to a collision in 2015 and an engine fire in 2024. The collision resulted in visible seams from bodywork on the left-front corner. The engine fire required rebuilding the fuel injection system and replacing numerous components. The interior has some wear, including scuffs on the driver's seat and a broken steering wheel spoke secured with zip ties. The Wonder Bar radio does not work. These issues indicate it is mechanically functional but has evident cosmetic and mechanical issues requiring reconditioning.
