First time C3 buyer...
Hey everyone!
Gonna be looking at a 1973 Corvette Stingray Convertible 4 Speed this weekend, and if all goes well, be the new happy owner of it. My question to you guys is what to I look for when inspecting a Stingray? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
I will be bringing my mechanic to check out the car with me but if anyone has some wisdom on what to look for / or specific issues that I should check that would be awesome.
Thanks again!

I thought I bought a OK car to wrench on during weekends.
Nice engine but everything else turned out to be trash.
Broken body panel under loads of bondo, rusted out frame, broken/missing interior parts, ended up replacing most of the car.
And I'm not done yet.
