:xi got this message today can any one help jim with the purchase of a corvette,i have allready emailed him and told what i thought to look for,but if some one can go and check this vett out with him then that would be cool ........................ Afternoon Glenn,
I'm going to have a look at a 79 model, and possibly buying, Thursday this week.
Not having previously owned a Corvette, is there anything in particular I should look for?

I have wanted one since the 75 was a new car, time to fulfill that dream & go buy one. Car is still LHD so I can't register it in that form until late next year, depending on build date. This doesn't worry me, have other projects + will tidy it up in that time.

If/when I do buy one, I'd be interested in joining the club.
A Corvette just wouldn't fit with the Dodge Club people, not that I'll ever part with my Dodge.

Regards

Jim Holland

P.S: I can be contacted at home after about 6pm on (02) 45 777721, I live in Windsor (NW Sydney)

If your looking at a C3, The first thing look for fiberglass repairs, second look at the rear section of the frame, at the point between the door and the rear tire...noted to rust there...Check block numbers and ID tags...before you go and look, run a ID code and print a list of block numbers from that year... ;54

This will help....http://www.nastyz28.com/sbchevy/sblock.html#cdate
