Condition 

7

The car has undergone a multi-year restoration and appears to be in very good condition. The front suspension was recently overhauled and front drums/shoes replaced. While it has a refinished exterior and new interior upholstery, the odometer reading is believed to have rolled over, and it has typical wear for a classic car of this age, warranting a 'Very Good' rating.
