If that car is as described condition by members here, that is not a #2 condition car as stated by the auction company.

That car is a 2 - to 3+ . Paint has flaws , many . Panel between the back window and trunk has poor seams. Valance panel was crunched and poorly repaired. Chrome and stainless need refinishing.Paint is dull and has lots of oversray areas like it was not jammed well. Intake is badly stained and discolored. Smog is on it , Interior is good. CHEAP hood insulator . Just not sharp like that car deserves to be at. Probably restored 15 years ago and stored poorly in a larger collection?

Not for nothing, but i bet we can pick on ALL cars for some type of flaw. Regardless of paint, fit, parts missing. There is no such thing as a PERFECT car anywhere. Biggest part now a days is making sure we have a REAL car first.

I remember the car at Indy in the early '90s, restored condition then. So I think the resto is over 20 years old and sounds like the current condition reflects that.
