Pre-purchase Inspectors

I have been looking for a C2 coupe for some time now, but have found very few available within a reasonable driving distance (like three hours one way). There have been several available much farther from me, but I'm generally not able to get away for more than a day. I would like to be able to call upon an expert to inspect a car for me, but haven't found a resource to locate inspectors. I have looked at the Transactions Feedback "sticky" here on the forum, but there are very few folks on the list that are in the areas I'm most interested in (Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, Washington) that inspect C2's. Also, many of the folks on the list have not been active on this forum for several years. So I'm looking for some resources on how to locate someone qualified to inspect C2 Corvettes. Can anyone here point me to some resources. Thanks for any assistance.

Ted - Do you happen to belong to the NCRS? If so, that's yet another way to network with folks who could possibly do an inspection for you. Two years ago, I bought a 65 Bigblock Roadster up in Portland and it had been owned by a fellow Forum Member who had posted a lot of threads on his work on it years earlier. I did take a trip to see that one in person and bought it. Fast forward to about 5 months ago, I came across a 66 Bigblock Roadster in Florida (geez, can't they just be across town instead of the far side of the country).
Contacted an East Coast NCRS Chapter and they put me in touch with a guy in Tampa who drove up and met the owner, who was also an NCRS member, and put the car through it's paces and sent me pics and videos. I bought that car without boarding a flight to Florida and it worked out well.
Good luck.

begee22,
Thanks for that recommendation. I will put Boyan on my list.

Mike,
I do not yet belong to NCRS, but I think your suggestion is a good one. Thank you.
