Default 1975 vert

Hello ... help is needed on any info to help me make a correct decision on buying a c3 -- any particular areas or concerns to look at ? The car is a 1975 SB silver/silver white top 47000 miles auto with A/C
body and frame in excellent condition - interior is in good condition with no rips or tears (vinyl )
I know I should get some pics but I live 80 miles away and going to see it tomorrow - (jul 5) any advise is appreciated - I am a c2 guy with out much knowledge of the c3 cars

Thanx Much in advance - HAPPY 4TH TO ALL
Charlie

As a fellow WNY'er I wish you the best. Love the color combination you mentioned. Have you seen the frame etc yourself yet? Make sure to
inspect the birdcage area real well. Inspect the body mounts,especially the rear one. Check frame rails that are just behind the rear wheel
areas. Seen a bunch of them with rot there. The engine and trans
aren't realy much of a consern,easy to fix. Check headlite door operation and other electrical componet operation.
Take your time looking it over,think with the "right head".
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
