AI Listing Summary

Condition
8
The car is described as exquisitely restored and in thoroughly excellent condition, with a deep finish, tight leather interior, and sparkling chrome. The engine has been reinstalled, and the car can maintain a cruising speed of 100 mph without undue stress. However, the listing does mention that the car was retrofitted with a later engine in 1965. While the original engine has been reinstalled, this modification suggests that the car might not be in completely original condition.
