Reply to "Definition of Car Condition"

Who makes the decision on the condition of the car? Is it the Registrar or is it the person reporting to the Registry.

There is always going to be controversy on the condition.

For example. If the car was originally lime green from the factory and the current owner changed the color to red during a full restoration to "as delivered". Is it modified?

It isn't as simple an answer as one might think.
If it was originally the worst, least desireable color from the factory and now is the best most desireable?

Remember the Ferrari Daytonna Spyders? There were only like a dozen originally built by the factory and when they hit a million there were suddenly seemingly hundreds?

I think there will never be a 100% answer to these catagory issues. They will always be a source of contention.

Personally, I go even further into the absurd.

If one is representing a car as 100% accurite ground up restoration. Say the car is a 67 435hp Corvette.

The owner states that the car was "restored" with a two step clearcoat polyurethane paint.
How can you say that is 100% original? It isn't.
It has been modified from the original factory specifications.

The original paint was acrylic laquer. To me that is misrepresentation. Who gave that guy license to change the paint? The factory?

When the values of the cars start to get ubsurd like Hemi Cuda Convertables. Anything that another person states, such as color changed, is going to subject that statement to Court challenge simply because the perception of market value of the car is being damaged.

Even if you state that the car was restored from a total wreck. That damages the value of the car to buyers.

Best to stay away from the entire condition reporting in a Registry. You will never know when you will be served and asked for a million in damages because of what you said.

Things can get real nasty.
