Condition 

5

The car has been refurbished and repainted, and the engine and carburetors have been refreshed. However, it has been modified as a race car, with removed headlights, bumpers, and door windows, and it is not equipped with seats or an odometer. The listing also mentions older Goodyear slicks and that the car is sold with Ontario registration noting 'PAS-UNF' and 'UNPLATED', indicating it is not street legal and requires substantial reconditioning for any use other than track events. Thus, it falls into the 'Above Average' category for a race car of this nature.
