As the title states, I found a 1993 S/C for sale locally that is unmolested and has about 13x,xxx on the clock.
So far I've been over the car pretty carefully as far as the exterior goes, looked underneath it the best I could without a lift, checked for any rust on the fenders/1/4's, rocker panels, etc. etc. etc. So far, not one spec of rust has been spotted on it (pretty good for a midwest car) It's white, the paint is definitely a 20ft job, it's faded on the hood and the top of the door frames, I took my buddy who paints for a living and discussed it and looked over it again. The interior looks good, has the typical driver side bolster wear, other than that it's clean inside with no other faults with the int.
I'm a mechanic by trade, but if you all could tell me what to really look for/scrutinize when I go to look at it again/test drive it would be greatly appreciated. I probably won't be able to compression the test the motor as the owner isn't the most friendly person I've ever come into contact with (older guy, kinda a hardass) anything I should listen for, check out, visually inspect to know what's going on that would be amazing. I just want to make a little check list of things to know/see so I'm not getting shafted.
thanks everyone,
Brian
