A number 1 car by the Hagerty definition is "as new"
a #2 car is a #1 car that has been driven, every thing works and is right but has some miles on it. Rubber soft, suspension good, just it has been driven, maybe some paint chips and a drop of oil and dust and dirt on it, the interior shows some wear, everything works and is right. What a two or three year old used car looks like.
a #3 car has things that do not work like the AC ( your car) wrong parts like the induction system and seats etc. ( your car) but new paint (your car) and looks good to the casual observer. Were all the suspension pieces replaced and every piece of rubber when you did the paint? what about plating? if not it definitely is not a #2 car.
By your description of your car and pictures provided it is a #3 not even close to a #2.
I am given you a neutral third party viewpoint, and it is only my opinion based on what is shown.
Buyers judge harder than I am unless they have the "red mist' of desire.
Good luck,
