The original Desert Beige metallic exterior is spotless, shiny clean. The body, moldings, hard / soft roof panels, window glass, lettering, decals, rubber seals, and all other exterior features are in A+ condition. The AMG wheels are clean and the Michelin Pilot AS3 tires have 75%+ tread.
On the inside, the Safron / Tan interior is near new condition. The seats, door panels, dash, carpet, mats, center console, and displays etc. are spot on. All of the interior buttons / switches ( power windows, door locks, antenna, cruise ) work without issue. The stereo w/ CD pack plays perfect. The undercarriage is as spotless too.
Mechanically, it starts, idles and drives as a babied car should. All of the servicing is up to date ( A and 30k miles ) - super cold a/c, hoses, fluids all changed / maintained at the proper intervals, The engine compartment is stock and of course the V8 / 302 hp. engine has exceptional performance, accelerates / shifts butter soft, and is a timeless classic, elegant attention getter. This car 'hugs' the road and handles as one would expect a preserved car to do.
Here is where Hagerty places current values, and I would classify this car as a #2 w/o hesitation:
