Condition
8
The car underwent a restoration in the 1990s and has had subsequent mechanical overhauls of the engine and transmission, with the engine being rebuilt again in March 2025. The interior was re-trimmed around 2000. While it has a new paint job, it was originally a different color. The mileage is stated as 16k but noted as TMU (total mileage unknown), and the speedometer was rebuilt in 1999. These factors suggest it's in excellent condition, with minor potential unknowns or cosmetic considerations from a past color change, but overall well-maintained and mechanically sound.
