We inspect any classic Corvette

We inspect all classic and antique Vettes. Most cookie-cutter inspections use the same generic point check box list for all the cars they inspect with out regard to being a Corvette, but we go in depth, looking at all the critical details that relate to that particular generation or sub-variant and the options it was built with.


We also offer Authentication Services for VINs, trim tags, casting numbers, stampings, date codes, etc.


We inspect them all: hard top, convertible, t-top, removable panel, customized, modified, and resto-modded.

C4 and C5 Covette inspections are covered here ▶ on our 80s/90s inspection page.


C6, C7, and C8 Corvette inspections are covered here ▶ on our sports car inspection page.

A specialized Corvette Specific pre-purchase inspection

Classic and antique Vettes require special attention and historical knowlege to correctly inspect and assess. The generic "check box list" of a topical visual inspection from a general mechanic or "big box" company seldom catches real trouble. We provide a Corvette Specific in depth comprehensive style inspection, from structural to mechanical, body to electrical, and all areas in between, for a detailed composite of exacly how the car presents in whole.


The examination of the vehicle also focuses on the quality of the body and structure. All aspects and areas are carefully examined and the frame pockets and mountings are checked and assessed, including the front "bird cage area".


Our inspections are not a generic point list; they are a logical approch, taylored around the Corvette in question, its generation, and each is designed specificaly to leave no aspect unquestioned.


Regardless of if the vehicle is a survivor in very original condition, has been restored or is built to NCRS correct standards, is refurbished, or even modified, all aspects will be carefully scrutinized.

Experience from working on, repairing, and modifying them, not walking around museums

In addition to being modern technicians, we are also beyond familiar with all the mechanisms on these cars. Because we service and repair these cars at our shop, we also know what to look for when inspecting them beyond the typical and routine things.


Many times, it's what is not covered on a visual general "inspection" that leads you to believe no problem was found, when in fact, a problem existed, but went unreported.
