Yes I have modern cars, but a C2 some type of history from an owner seller is valuable to a me as a buyer. A dealer will tell me what it takes to sell it. JMO

That's very true if you know much about the C2s and what to look for and where. Unfortunately , I do not but I'm slowly educating myself with books, internet info. and this forum is really helping. Thanks to all the members!

Homework is cheap. Buying the wrong car isn’t. Most of your questions have been answered before. Feel free to search or just start new threads.

How about a 100 ,000 car with a original Radiator that over heats .
When I do a restoration I go the extra mile to have dependability.
From the bottom up like I will never sell it .
I just cant shortcut and never have .Still haven't done bad on the corvettes I have let go .

In addition, what about tires? We could on and on with parts that need to be replaced.

If the op likes the current color combo can live with the paint, likes the rest of the car and likes the price it seems like it’s a ok deal.
Not likely but possible, built after lunch? I'd be looking for evidence of silver to confirm.
