tips on buying a classic car

[lance.christoph]

Im looking a buying a 1969 camaro from a classic car dealer in Michigan. I live in Las Vegas and was thinking on purchasing the car from the dealers video. Travaling to Mich is difficult to inspect the car. Do you think this is a good decision or do you reccomend going to Mich to inspect the car. The thing I worry about is that the car wont be available depending when I can get there. Also when getting a classic what sort of things to you reccomend what to look for on an inspection. I read the article about the camaro that the guy got ripped off. How can I make sure that the car isnt all bondoed up and straight. I would appreciate any advise you can offer. Thank you
