Default Basics

Apart from the obvious things like rust and dents... it depends what you want to do with it. If you want to do a full original restoration then you'll probably want to try to find one which is as original as possible, and low mileage.

Both types of Blitz are extremely well made and strong, but if it has a few miles on it, check things like slop in Uni joints, steering, all the usual sorts of things you'd look for on any vehicle.

Completeness is a good thing too - there are lots of hard to find things which are usually missing such as grille, doors, front spring bumper...

There are probably many other specifics Chev owners can fill you in on too..
