Hey folks, I'm a noob to this forum and to vettes. I think I found a good prospect for my first vette in Fort Wayne. Since I don't know much about these does anyone know of a good shop or dealer in the area that I could set up an inspection? The car is a 12,000 mile car but I still would like to make sure there are no hidden suprises. I believe the car is located on the west side of town. Thanks.

I live in Fort Wayne.
I have had Dynotech Engineering (DTE) do some work for me in the past (non corvette) and they are great to work with.
They are particularly knowledgeable in regards to late model Corvettes...
I am not sure if they do inspections but it never hurts to ask.
IMHO it would be money well spent..
Phil and Jenny Rickard are the owners !-260-407-5455.

Sure, send it over and we'll take a look at it for you. In fact, if you PM me the name of the seller, I may be able to tell you the history of the car if I know who's it is, if I know the seller, etc etc. etc. Just give us a call to discuss further if you'd like.


Regards,
Phil

Thanks guys. Phil, I will be in touch with you as I soon get closer on the deal. Right now I am trying to find storage to make this whole thing work. Forgot to mention it is an '04.
