How To Evaluate Classic Car Interior When Appraising a Classic Car
Okay here I am in the interior, the obvious areas you look at the door panels see the condition of those, you look at the dashboard, you look at the headline, you look at the seats, you look at the front back of the seats, the back seats, the carpeting you always check the carpeting for moisture I lift it up, get my hands under there, I rub my hands around to see if there’s any moisture because if there’s moisture in the carpet very often in the floor pans there’s rust. If the floor pan is rusting it needs to be fixed that’s a bad thing, so I check on the upholstery, make sure there are no rips sometimes it’s a big deal what’s wrong with them sometimes it isn’t, you’ll have seams that are split that can be easy to repair it sometimes it’s just a matter of restitching, sometimes you need a whole panel repaired. Interiors are expensive it’s not unusual to have new interior started about $2500 on cars so you want to be sure that they’re in good shape. Your job as an appraiser my job as an appraiser is to establish the condition of the interior.
