Willie, I need advise!

Willie,

I've got a chance to buy an 87 Z-28 (non-IROC) Vert, at a very low price. Car has 95,000 miles and a few dings. Basically, needs some body work and complete painting. Interior also needs work; i.e. carpet and left door panel.

I'm afraid if I don't buy it, I'll be regretting it. Are these cars rare enough that I should jump on this, even with the work that is needed? Body is solid with just very little surface rust around right rear wheel well.

Realize you can't tell me much without seeing it, but your opinion on these cars is valuable.

Bob,

Because I know the whereabouts of a dozen of these, there's a chance that I have info about the car you're looking at. Can you e-mail me the VIN? I'll be glad to share specifics with you.

Willie,

Did you find time to run the VIN? If so, what did you find?

Sorry Willie; I did not check my home e-mail. I'll try to call you this evening and we can close this thread. Realize this board is not the way to handle this.

Thanks,

Bob
