I'm looking into buying a 1976 corvette with an L82 motor. It was my wife's uncles before he passed away. Things is it's been sitting (not ran at all) in a garage/barn for about 30yrs prior to that he used it rarely. He was the second owner.
I'm looking for advice areas of the car that might be problematic. From the outside everything looks ok.
Would rust be a factor even though it was stored inside?
I already figured I would have to change some mechanical stuff. That doesn't bother me.
I'm more afraid of not looking in the right spot to see if the frame is good or not.
As for the price we havent determined one yet because I told the owner I want to see if the motor would turn over (with a new battery of course) and only after I looked the frame over thoroughly.
Thank you in advance for any information
