Just want to say hello to everyone. for years I've been dring Bimmers and Benz some domestic cars and trucks. I found a 1972 Vette, from what I am told it is the last of the LT-1, I'm not well verse the history of vetter but I am willing to take on this car. Have not seen it in clear day but it has been seating for 3 years and was well maintained until it was stored in a barn for the last 3 years.
Asking 10K for it, I would like to know what I should look for it the car is what it is, original and any detail info I should know to restore it, if it needs it aside from cleaning and standard up keeps. I am the kind of guy who starts a base line on any used car I buy, change everything mind set from the oil to the windshield fluid. thanks in advance for your inputs. Will post photos when I get it home.
I can wrench so working on this will not be a problem. also, what are the do's and don'ts when it comes to mod's fo keep the cars value?
