I've worked on plenty of original cars, but this one is not only original, it is like a car less than 10 years old in most areas. It has the same kM as my CV8 which was bought new in 2/2003 and it is about the same in most areas, just a bit oilier in some spots. With some degreaser and elbow grease the tranny looks new. I've been rubbing thinners on the underside of the floor and the paint under the grime and newer paint looks great.
