Pre Purchase Inspection

Title your post "Need Pre Purchase Inspection in XYZ City"

In the post, state what you are looking for as in, "I need someone to do a PPI for a 63 SWC Top Flight NCRS car in Helena Washington" or, "I need somebody to look at a 67 Convertible Driver. Just make sure its a solid car with no rust issues in frame/birdcage... "

You will either get a response from somebody that is close by or folks will point you in the direction of somebody that is close by.

If its a High Dollar C2 that is supposedly numbers matching, it may be worthwhile to have a pro, like Pancho (Provette67) fly out to inspect.

No... my Vette buying plans are kind of put on hold. My mom is in Hospice care at home... and I flew back to be her care giver for a while. And it all comes out of my Vette fund.

Its great to get to spend time with her at the end... I am doing ALL the care, which includes cleaning up after "functions"... its a little draining emotionally and financially... but hey, its my mom.
