I orginally saw it on Ebay US. I did a lot of research into the car and asked the guy to take it off Ebay so that I could have it inspected properly.
I used a independent vehicle inspector and I actually called the company and requested somebody with experience in early corvettes. They carried out a 150 point inspection and they provided me with a web report including photos. Approx cost $130US. (SGS....i think their name was)
The good thing about this is that the inspection was carried out at the persons house, with ID check and etc, so I knew the car definately existed and everything was OK and as the seller described.
The seller was extremely helpful in ensuring that the inspection was carried out quickly.
I was extremely happy with my purchase and how easy it was, however I'm sure there have been a few horror stories.
If you are able to, go there and inspect the car and make sure that it is what you want.

Many thanks for your quick response I will look into smith's international. You wouldn't happen to have a phone number for smith's? Did you purchase your vette through net or an agent?
