Default What to look for??

I am new and have not found my vette just yet. As I search for "The One" I find myself at a loss. Is there a centralized list or something somewhere of common issues. Maybe questions I should ask a seller, like, has this or that been fixed because it is a common problem; such as mechanical, electrical/lighting or whatever. Maybe there are certain things I should look for or inspect. Anything you have experienced or know of will be a huge help. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.

One thing you can do is to find someone in your area that is very familiar with the generation of Corvette that you're looking for. One thing you can do to find this person is to attend a local Corvette Club meeting.

You can also try to find a good mechanic that's familiar with that generation of Corvettes. If you find one, you can have him check out any of your prospects.

Let us know what you find and come up with.
