  The repaint the car received while owned by the lawyer was show quality and still is except for some small areas of bubbling on the rear panel and trunk lid due to a damp garage environment as the lawyer got older.  The car sat in the garage and was unused for a number of years before it was removed by the estate.  
 

This was recently pulled out of storage by the lawyer's estate and the brakes have been freshly rebuilt.  

It has received a tuneup including new points and plugs. all fluids have been flushed and the fuel system has been cleaned out.  The air suspension holds air for weeks without dropping more than about 1 inch in the front. The rear never drops but over the course of a week it drops about an inch at the front and then holds.  

  
 All windows work perfectly.  The radio and antenna work beautifully.     
The KB4-050 transmission shifts through all the gears crisply/firmly as a 6. 3 transmission should.
   
There is absolutely no rust underneath the car and no signs of any previous repairs.  
  
 The lines and panel gaps are excellent showing no evidence of damage.  Those are cloud reflections on the hood in the photograph below.  The paint is near perfect besides a few small stone chips up front and the small bubbling at the rear.  
 
 Notice the factory stickers and plug wires still present in the engine bay.



The medium blue roof is extremely unique.
There are only a few small interior flaws.  One of them being a tiny crack on the passenger side door cap.

The interior is completely original and the leather is in amazing shape for its age. It has become slightly dry and could use a nice softening with Leatherique.
In the picture below you can see the slight splits in some of the basket weave sections of the leather due to being brittle.  


The dash is quite impressive with only slight signs of age one some of the fascia wood and the dash bow.  The dash pad is flawless with no cracking.
The headliner is near perfect.

All of the door panels are in excellent condition showing almost no signs of wear.
The rear seat is near perfect but does have some small splits on the rear backrest bolsters.
Here you see the VIN plate which is located on the Driver's door B-Pillar. Chassis 10901812004748. The Kangol Seatebelts are all mint and even have all stickers intact.
The rear hat tray is perfect with excellent original carpet and no sun damage.
Like most later 6. 3's. this one sports the rear reading lights. The front seat backrest's are mint with no sagging of the bungee cable. As previously mentioned. nearly all of the original interior wood is excellent.



The heater and blower control levers have been replaced with Dura-Levers.  The heater valves are all operating freely and slide nicely.
Here you can see the perfect dash pad and the wood dash bow that has some sun damage. All that is need is a refinish.
As you can see here the trunk area is extremely nice and clean. The vertical portion that sports the blue trunk sticker is near mint.  A tell-tale sign the car was really taken care of.  
No rust in the typical wheel well spots in the trunk at all.
Extremely rare and COMPLETE toolkit! 

Quite a few knobs on the dash!

Most of the original decals are still present in the engine bay.  
In this shot here you can see the aftermarket cruise control that was installed. It has since been disconnected.

Original A/C sticker and data plate on the radiator core support showing factory two tone paint!






Here you can see some of the small bubbling to the right of the trunk star on the vertical surface.
Here you can see the small bubbling the the left of the license plate lamp.  The marking below the chrome strip cleaned off. it was residue from the rubber mounting for the chrome strip.
Just some of the service records that came with the car. All from the dealer Don Rasmussen.
Nice little leather key pouch from the dealer.
All the books and owners manuals! Truly a complete set.  
Radio Manuals.
The elusive metal order plate that slides into the plastic service manual pouch.
The original gentleman who bought the car new here in Portland.
Nearly all the service was done at Don Rasmussen where it was purchased new.
