3
The car is described as a 'barn find' that hasn't been driven in around ten years, implying it requires substantial reconditioning due to its immobilization and time out of service. While aesthetically correct, the need for recommissioning and the 'barn find' status suggests multiple mechanical and cosmetic issues.
