It is infuriating to
me to see someone claiming a car in this condition is a ?#3? car!
I?m slowly selling
off my collection on eBay due to my advancing age and shrinking abilities, and
I?m always very careful to list the condition of my cars following the ?Old
Cars Price Guide? scale of 1 through 6 for condition codes.
If I list a car as a
#3 car, it is in what most folks would call ?show condition?, which is what
the OCPG says for #3. (There are no #1 cars unless they have never been
driven, other than into and out of trailers, and there are very few #2 cars,
unless they are only driven to shows etc, and are still shiny
underneath).
A #3 car is one that
will take a trophy in most any local car show.
This car is a #5 car,
and needs a total restoration, from the rubber on the road to the tip of the
antenna! A beautiful car, to be sure, and well worth saving, but please
spare us the #3 rating!!!.
