The car has undergone two refurbishments, with the latest one in 2021. The description notes that the floor pans and rocker panels were patched, and lower fender/quarter-panel sections were replaced. While the mechanicals appear to have been addressed with a rebuilt engine and brake system, these body repairs indicate it's not in pristine or outstanding condition. However, the extent of the refurbishment suggests it's in excellent condition.
