Corvette check list
I have been looking at C2 coupes to fill a hole in my garage.
Every time I come home from looking I remember something I should have looked at. So I came up with a check list. I have it in excel with room on the right to write in comments. Tell me what you think and anything I missed. If anyone wants a copy in excel PM me.

you could add date codes for all the engine components, along with glass dates. also if documentation is important to you. that can be added
|
yes you forgot bring kevin with you
|
I might add pulling dip sticks, and oil, rad and m/c caps for a look see. This will give u an idea of how the car was cared for.
|
Two things I wished I knew when I bought my '66; was that although they looked new, the tires were 14 years old and the battery nearly seven.

Thanks for the suggestions. I made a few changes.

I added battery. |
One last important thing I'd add would be to drive the car at highway speed.
|
By the time you check out everything on your check list the car will be out of warrenty. :rofl:
|
Although I'm not in the market for another car, the check list is great idea. Thanks for the post.

I'm looking for a Chevelle. I took your list and tweaked it a bit. Thanks for sharing :thumbs:

70 SS, 4 speed. Could be NOM but looks original. Would prefer one that needs a little love to bring it back.

Can't help you on a 70 SS. All I know is 69 to 72 cars are full of clones. Read up on Chevelle.com and good luck
...send in the clones. yep, already there. Certainly no expert but at least I know some questions ask and things to check. If I find one that's a maybe I'll ask the Chevelle forum for a look see (like I would do here). thanks. |
