Condition
7
The car has undergone periods of refurbishment and refresh of the interior and received a repaint. It has an upgraded Okrasa-built engine, 12-volt electrical system, and Abarth-style exhaust. However, the odometer has rolled over, indicating significant past use. The tires are BFGoodrich, and it retains its original style 15" steel wheels, chrome bumpers, and roof rack. The overall condition appears to be very good, with some expected wear for a classic car that has been driven and modified.
