I just recently bought a 1980 Corvette and I wanted to know where you take them to get inspected. I want to know what's wrong with it so that I can be worry free

 

A location as to where you are might help.

 

Close to San Diego

 

Sorry, I can't help. I am on the other side of the country.

 

I needed help and found it here:

I am in LA and am wondering if you ended up finding a mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection? I'm interested in a C3 but need someone who knows these cards to take a look for me. Please let me know.

 

You are answering a post from a couple years ago. It’s probably time to start a new thread, maybe in the California regional section.
