Default Looking for a second vette

I have an 82 and going to look at this one tomorrow:

1973 Corvette 60k miles 4 speed 350 - $8500

Anything special I should look for?

yes, several people from this foreum.who have read this post. Look for them in your rear view mirror trying to over take you and beat you to the vette. Just Kidding.

One thing to be aware of is the bumper condition.

Urethane bumpers warp and I hear it's a bi*ch to get the urethane replacements to align right so people buy fiberglass replacements instead and they require a lot of work too. Just to do a front bumper replacement Maaco was talking $1,400 (including the bumper cost) and that's at a Maaco.
