this is a exact extract from the mag so dont blame me for their mistakes =)

KEY -
A - Excellent. First-quality, low-mileage originals or top-condition vehicles having undergone full or partial restorations.

B - Average. Complete vehicles in good condition considering age, mileage, etc. May only require a bit of work to be a first class example

C - Rough, restorable. Essentially complete. sound vehicles, often registered and useable, making prime candidates for full or partial restorations up to A or B standards, representing a worthwhile purchase.

try collectorcarmarket.com

as an example... i searched a 57 beetle and got this result.....
1957 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE 4cyl 1192cc (36hp SAE) 4M
#5 #4 #3 #2 #1
2dr Conv 2125 6050 13175 18150 27150
Coupe 1775 5000 10450 15000 24050

Add:
Foldback sunroof 10%

These are condition guidelines to help assess a vehicle's condition. Keep in mind that there are many factors that affect value. For example, a "barn find" may on the surface look like a #4 or #5 vehicle, but it's time capsule quality means it is worth more than it's condition would usually warrant.

#1 Excellent: A close to perfect original or a very well restored vehicle. Generally a body-off restoration, but a well done body-on restoration that has been fully detailed may qualify. The vehicle is stunning to look at and any flaws are trivial and not readily apparent. Everything works as new. All equipment is original, NOS, or excellent quality reproductions. (See show car description in How to Use section.)

#2 Very Good: An extremely presentable vehicle showing minimal wear, or a well restored vehicle. Runs and drives smooth and tight. Needs no mechanical or cosmetic work. All areas (chassis not required) have been fully detailed. Beautiful to look at but clearly below a #1 vehicle.

#3 Good: Presentable inside and out with some signs of wear. Not detailed but very clean. Body should be straight and solid with no apparent rust and absolutely no rust-through anywhere. Shiny, attractive paint but may have evidence of minor fading or checking or other imperfections. Runs and drives well. May need some minor mechanical or cosmetic work but is fully usable and enjoyable as is.

#4 Fair: runs and drives OK but needs work throughout the vehicle. Body shows signs of wear or previous restoration work. Any rust should be minimal and not in any structural areas. Cosmetics, body, and mechanics all need work to some degree.

#5 Poor: In need of complete restoration, but is complete and not a rust bucket beyond repair. May or may not run. Not roadworthy.
