Anything you can tell me about this car would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!!

Interior condition?

Did I mention originality
Original paint?
Accident free?
Interior/exterior color combination?

As an appraiser, you should be mentioning whether you are doing an appraisal for insurance purposes, or for a current market appraisal? You do realize the implications of the differdnce between the two, right?

Then again, as an appraiser, you should be giving out the above information and more if you want a truly qualified response from those who follow the market for these cars

Edit: Did I mention AK1139 should be Mercedes Red. Black Leather/Black tonneau. 302 HO small block Ford wth Holley carb. Borg Warner T5. Transmission.
