Our Rating: Classic Car
At CCC we look at five major characteristics of the cars to create a classification of each vehicle. The paint, body, interior, mechanical, and electrical are all ranked in order to give customers a more tangible measurement of the condition of one of our cars. Our classic inventory receives a classification that shows our cars having an overall condition score or 3-4 on a 5-point scale of condition. We would classify these as fun driver quality vehicles that people can enjoy and represent solid investments. These look terrific with excellent mechanicals. They may be older restorations with some evidence of prior repair. You can look more closely at the designations by looking at the vehicle inspection report for the car.
