Condition #1

A car in #1 condition will appear as or better than new.It may be a virgin,untouched original car with very low milage that has remained in an "as-built" condition over the years,or it may be a car that has been professionally restored.To hold a #1 status,a restored car must retain all correct original matching numbers equipment with all date codes corresponding to the build date of the car.Any replacement parts must be from the original vendor and carry the correct Chrysler Corporation factory markings.#1 cars are seldom,if ever,driven and are considered to be strickly show,or museum,pieces.Only a handful of true #1 cars actually exist.


Condition #2

A car in #2 condition will most often be a low mileage,well preserved original or a restored car.It will be representative of the way the car was built,but will show some signs of wear and tear.A #2 car may be an older or less professional restoration,or it may be a car that has survived the ravages of time through either diligent care or very little use.#2 cars are much more common than #1 cars and are usually the recipient of "Best Of Show" honors at smaller local shows as well as major national events.Only an experienced judge or a discriminating expert can usually determine the difference between a #1 and a #2 car from any distance.


Condition #3


A #3 car will be in good condition.It will appear mostly as an all original car or as an older restoration that is just starting to show some signs of wear due to being driven.To the untrained eye a #3 car will appear a very nice car from any angle,and from a relatively short distance.To an expert eye,a #3 car will fall under the catagory of "Average" condition.A car in #3 condition will usually require a full restoration to bring it up to a #2 or #1 level.


Condition #4


A car in #4 condition is a one that,quite frankly looks its age.Rust and corrosion are to be expected and missing original parts are a common occurrence.A car in #4 condition is what is commonly referred to as a daily driver and will usually show the ravages of being a road warrior,reguardless of whether it is regularly driven or not.Most #4 cars are restorable,but expect to have to sink more money into the restoration than the actual value of the car when complete.


Condition #5


Call it a rust bucket,a derelict or a basket case-or any or all may apply.A #5 car will usually be little more than a parts donor to be used for restoring or repairing a like or similiar car in better condition.But expect a #5 car to be missing significant and critical parts and/or pieces.Except in very rare instances where a very rare car is found in this condition,restoration is considered to be out of the question and,if undertaken,will require the skills of only the most experienced restorer.Most often than not,a Hemi car in #5 condition will be considered as restorable by most collectors/restorers.Not so for non-Hemi models.
