Condition 

7

The car has been repainted in 2012 and had significant mechanical work done in 2017, 2019, 2023, and 2025 including engine rebuild, distributor overhaul, and AC conversion. While generally well-maintained, the age of the paint and the fact that it's a consignment sale with some miles added under the current owner suggest it's in Very Good condition, not Excellent or Outstanding.
