Condition
8
The car has undergone extensive re-commissioning and recent refurbishment including a bare metal respray, re-chroming, new body panels (sill, A-posts), new roof covering, interior work (woodwork, headlining, carpets), and mechanical system overhauls (brakes, fuel system, cooling system). While not pristine, it is in excellent condition with significant investment in presentation and mechanical soundness, requiring minimal to no immediate reconditioning.
