Default PA appraisal needed

I am located in NC, and have been looking at a 1969 427/390 corvette convertible for sale in Bethlehem, PA. I'm not an expert on valuations for these cars and could use some advise. Wanted to reach out to this forum for any recommendations for a local expert that might be willing to inspect the car and advise on the fair value. I am willing to pay any fee that is customary for such a service. Thanks in advance for your help.

What are you after? Original? Restored? Are numbers important to you? Reason I ask is this car, big block convertible, chrome bumpers is a prime candidate for restamping. If the 'original' numbers match engine is important to you, a much deeper inspection may be required than just rust and collision checks. You can expect to pay a premium for the 'original' engine. Best to be sure you get what you pay for. Good luck with your search.

Thanks Revi and BBcorv70. I am definitely interested in confirming the authenticity of the engine to be a production match.
