    Corvette Consultant

    I'm looking at a midyear in NY, just over the CT border near Stamford/Queens. Does anyone know of a trustworthy consultant that I can hire to look at the car for me? I've never used a consultant like this before, so can anyone also give me an idea of what I should expect to pay for this report?

    Thanks,

    Jerry

    Jerry,

    I don't know of anyone in that area, but I think it is a wise decision to find someone to look at the car. I did just that when I bought mine. Paid $250 and received a 4 page report, plus a 45 minute phone call to go over the report. That helped me make the decision to buy (I'm in Pa and the car was in MI). When I compared the car to the report, it was "spot on". As far as I'm concerned, it was money very well spent.

    I'm sure you will find someone. Good luck!

      Thanks Tom. Since I'm about three hours away, the $250 is money well spent.

        If you check in the Driveline there usually are a number of folks that offer that service.

                Jerry;

                Charlie Busnack, NCRS # 667 (1957 Fuelie - Duntov, 1961 Fuelie, 1971 LT1 and 1980 "driver") is located here in Central NJ and is a good friend. Charlie helped me with the selection/pricing on my 1963 SWC and my 1965 BB. He has helped a number of other guys with their pre-purchase evaluations.. Not a professional by any means, but he will give you a decent perspective as to what is "correct" and what is not.. along with an idea as to what you might want to pay for a particular car. Charlie works a day job so he is "reasonable". He's not a PC guy... so if you are interested, send me PM and I will reach out to him. He is probably less than 2 hours from you.

                Regards,

                Joel
