#1 "Excellent" is a perfect, show winning, 100 point restoration.

#2 "Fine" is near perfect, will win most shows unless a #1 shows up. Can only be told from a #1 on close inspection.

#3 "Very Good" original or older restoration showing wear. Looks good from 20 feet away but on closer inspection shows wear.

#4 "Good" usable vehicle needing little or no work to be functional. Obviously needs major work to be perfect. May be in the middle of restoration work.

#5 "Restorable" may or may not be running but is complete.Needs complete restoration.

#6 "Parts car" may or may not be running but is rusted, stripped of parts, wrecked or damaged to the point where it is useful only as a source of used parts.

From your description the car sounds like a solid #4.
