The following is an abbreviated explanation of the condition categories
courtesy of the Old Cars Price Guide. This is the most commonly used
condition numbering system for grading a car's condition.
(#1) Excellent: Restored to current maximum
professional standards of quality in every area, or a perfect original
with components operating and appearing as new. A 95-plus point show car
that is not driven.
(#2) Fine: Well-restored, or a combination of
superior restoration and excellent original. Also, an extremely
well-maintained original showing very minimal wear.
(#3) Very Good: Completely operable original
or "older restoration" showing wear. Also, a good amateur restoration, all
presentable and serviceable inside and out.
(#4) Good: A driveable vehicle needing no, or
only minor, work to be functional. Also, a deteriorated restoration or a
very poor amateur restoration.
(#5) Restorable: 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.
(#6) Parts Car: May or may not be running, but
is weathered, wrecked, and/or stripped to the point of being useful
primarily for parts.
(PS) Parted & Scrapped: Gone to Cougar
Heaven. (Not from OCPG, but our addition for database purposes)
