Default Somebody from Reno/Nevada here?

I am from Germany and found a Corvette C3 near Reno.
It would be great if somebody who lives in that area can precheck
the car for me ... it should be not for free!

Thanks in advance! :-)

There is at least 1 member from Reno, maybe he will check in. I'm in Vegas, quite a ways away.

You might have more luck shipping it down to LA and putting it on a boat there. I'd suggest contacting jotto (Paul) who has shipped a few cars out of the west coast.

If it's needed I'm 4 hours away and could try and make time to get over there.

Just let me know if you have issues finding someone. Also do you have any information about the car?

Sure will. I just bought a 2012 ZR1 and i am in the process of changing the lighting system in order to past inspection in Germany. I only know a couple of C6 ZR1's in Germany. Do you see many there?

John has shipped cars out of LA and Oakland, I think the Oakland delivery went much smoother as I recall.
