New and looking for a mechanic
After about 35 years of dreaming about it, I'm about to finally buy 1968 Vette. The problem is that it's in St Louis and I'm in Chicago. I drove it but need a real
expert mechanic to inspect it. Can anyone recommend a good Corvette expert mechanic in St Louis?

You will be better off posting this in the regional section as well as in the C3 section here on the forum. Good luck

I know there is a very good Corvette mechanic at Elco Chevrolet (Bob). Can't say how his expertise is on a C3 though. Give them a call and ask.
Anyway, welcome to the forum and good luck in your car search.
