Condition 

7

The car is described as being in remarkably original condition with original paint and interior. However, the paint shows patina from age, suggesting it is not in perfect condition. The interior, while original, is also likely to show some wear. The listing also notes that the car may need some reconditioning to bring it back to top condition.
