Description of 1929 Replica/Kit Makes MERCEDES 500K REPLICA AUTO A/C

THIS IS A HAND BUILT 1929 MERCEDES 500K BARON 4-SEAT REPLICA. IT WAS BUILT AS AN ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL SHOP PROJECT BY AN AUTOMOTIVE TECH TEACHER IN OHIO. THIS WAS THE LAST VEHICLE THE CLASS BUILT AND THE ONE HE KEPT FOR HIS PERSONAL USE WHEN HE RETIRED. . THE CAR IS POWERED BY A FORD 302 V8 WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. nbsp;NOT SOME LITTLE 4-CYL OR VW ENGINE. THE CARS STARTS RIGHT UP AND RUNS AND SHIFTS SOLID. IT ALSO HAS A FULLY FUNCTIONAL A/C SYSTEM THAT BLOWS GOOD AND COLD. I'D DESCRIBE THE CARS OVERALL CONDITION AS GOOD TO VERY GOOD. ALL THE GAUGES WORK PROPERLY. THE SUSPENSION IS BUILT OF FORD MUSTANG PARTS. THE FRAME SHOWS NO RUST. APPARENTLY BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP AND WAS PROPERLY UNDERCOATED. THE BODY HAS NO DAMAGE AND CARRIES A GOOD SHINE. THE INTERIOR IS SOLID. BUT COULD USE A GOOD DEEP CLEANING OR AT THE VERY WORST A RE-SPRAY OF THE SEATS. THE TOP IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND INCLUDES THE CONVERTIBLE BOOT. THE TIRES LOOK GOOD. nbsp;NO REAL CRACKING IS EVIDENT. BUT I'D PROBABLY REPLACE THEM IN THE NEAR FUTURE BECAUSE I CAN'T REALLY TELL THEIR AGE. THE CAR IS ALSO EQUIPPED WITH THE OUTSIDE LUGGAGE RACK WHICH ADDS A UNIQUE PERIOD LOOK. AS WITH ANY CAR OF THIS NATURE. THERE ARE LITTLE THINGS THAT COULD IMPROVE THE APPEARANCE. SUCH AS BETTER TRIM WHERE THE WINDOWS ROLL INTO THE DOORS. BUT THIS IS THE FUN PART. WHERE YOU GET TO MAKE THE LITTLE IMPROVEMENTS THAT PERSONALIZE AND IMPROVE THE CAR. THE CAR IS A GOOD BASE TO IMPROVE AND BUILD A TRULY UNIQUE AND DISTINCTIVE VEHICLE. I'D PERSONALLY RATE IT A SOLID "B" TO "B+" THAT YOU CAN TAKE TO AN "A" WITH A LITTLE WORK AND NOT MUCH MONEY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME A CALL. STEVE. 727-686-6500
