Default Pre purchase inspection needed!!

Hey all,

Looking for help.
I am looking for someone who can do a pre-purchase inspection of a 1968 C3 Corvette.
The car is located near Stony Point NY.
I would need someone in the area who could go to the car to inspect it.
I will pay for the service!

Thanks

Tom

Come on guys, someone must be able to help out.
Tom, you might look up the local Vette car clubs in the area, to see if they could help.

I am two hours away from Stony Point Tom. I am certain you can locate someone closer that can help you out but if you do not then let me know and I can help you. Do you know if the person that owns the car has a lift available, easy access to the car, good lighting, etc. I did one in Michigan in the Winter and the ground up there gets cold. Nice to know the conditions (physical and sellers current mental condition) before walking in to do an inspection. What time frame are you looking for? Post those details here as well and maybe we can stir up some interest for you to help.
Best regards,
David Howard

Thanks for the help guys. I am new to corvettes and this forum is outstanding!
Has me excited about getting into the brand. (Been and Ford and Porsche guy for too long)

I will try to find someone closer if possible....
The car appears to be solid and well cared for.
The owner wants it to go to a good home.

As far as I know...
The car is parked in a civilian garage
there is no lift. Lighting is most likely "basic garage lighting"
Time frame for me - inspection late next week
I will try to get more info

Okay, good to get a good local inspector if you can.
Just an FYI, Corvettes at Carlisle is August 23-26 in Carlisle, PA and many, many Corvettes owners will be there again this year. About 5,500 cars show up every year. My only point being that is the end of next week.
Good luck with your purchase and best regards,
David

Tom:
I'm about an hour away and would be happy to help. I am no expert but I managed to snag a nice '69 for myself and do have some idea about what to look for.
PM me if interested.
