Condition
6
The car is described as a 'Worthy Restoration Candidate' with potential for top honors at concours events. This suggests that while it isn't in top condition, it is still in good enough shape to be restored to a high standard. The description does not explicitly mention dents, scratches or curb marks, but the need for restoration implies that there are some cosmetic or mechanical issues that need to be addressed.
