New member looking for advice

Hey all. I'm a new member from SC. I'm in the market for a third gen Camaro preferably 87-92. Any advice on what to look for/avoid when shopping around? Should I be wary of any car that still has the original engine unless it's a great deal? Appreciate any guidance here. Please share your wisdom thanks!

Depending on who you buy from, take engine mileage into consideration. (Ie a car collected as opposed to a teenager).

Look for signs of bad rust. Buy a 350. That's your best deal. And keep in mind ttops are a huge problem if they leak. Watch for that

Look for as stock and un-molested as you can,better to start from a factory car and build from there than undo some other idiot's hacks and shortcuts.
