I'm interested on the two 1979s below. I have some business in the midwest later this week so may try to take a look at them.
I'd appreciate any opinions.
Anyone have any suggestions about how best to find someone in the Chicago and Detroit area to inspect the cars for me?
Thank you

Only advice I can give is keep checking Craig and his list, that where I found mine and I have no regrets. Don't buy the first one you see at the price it is offered. You have to look at EVERYTHING and when you think its good, look at it again. Best of luck in your search.

There's not much better looking than a black '79 with Oyster interior. Keep trolling Craigslist, and you'll find just the right one eventually. My wife found hers on the Jersey Shore, a 3 1/2 hour drive away. There are sites that let you search multiple Craigslist sites simultaneously. I found my '80 searching Craigslist for this:
198* Corvet* Manua*
The * is a wildcard, so I will get all listings for 1980-89 cars that have the words Corvette, Corvettes, Corvets, Corvettte, with a manual (possibly just the owners manual). You'd be surprised how many people can sell a car they can't spell.
Good luck!
