Default What to look for?

What do I look for when inspecting a possible purchase of a C3 vette? I know the basics of buying a used car but what about anything C3 specific?

1. Someone who knows what they are doing.

There are alot of nice cars for sale, but there are FAR more turds, and if you end up with one, you my friend will be buried in it ($$$$) before its made right.

Spend an hour perusing the C3 General Forum. There are dozens of threads on buying a C3 that will give you an amazing amount of information from forum members.

Here's a great compilation:

I did a search of that forum with the keywords 'what to look for' and these are a few threads that came back as a start:

There are more... Good luck with your car search.
