Welcome to the forum!
You may want to read through some of the info in the C1/C2 section of the forum if you are not too familiar with C2s to know more what to look for. Also check the for sale section there for Vettes being sold by forum members.

Be careful and patient in buying a C2 corvette. These cars are over 50 years old and many have issues that only an expert can detect. Sellers often use misleading words such as " numbers matching" which means nothing. It took me three years to find my C2 and paid an expert $700 to know what I was buying. Good luck.
