Condition Ratings
A considerable amount of factors play into a vehicle's value, well beyond it's condition. Correctly classifying a vehicle's condition rating is paramount.
Well restored, or a combination of superior restoration and excellent original. Also, an extremely well maintained original showing very minimal wear. Except for the very closest inspection a No. 2 vehicle may appear as a No. 1. May be driven 800-1000 miles per year to show or on tours or simply for pleasure.
Needs complete restoration of body, chassis and interior. May or may not be running but isn’t
weathered, wrecked and/or stripped to the point of being useful only for parts. This vehicle
needs everything.
Completely operable original or “older restoration” showing wear. Also, a good amateur restoration, all presentable and serviceable inside and out. Plus, combinations of well done
restoration and good original operable components; or a partially restored vehicle with all excellent quality original and/or valuable NOS parts required to complete it.
