Watch out for frame rot, they like to rust out behind the front suspension near the firewall and near the rear trailing arm mounts. 79s have metal floor pans, so check those for rust. Check for cracks in the fiberglass body. Make sure it has good paint, Vettes are almost impossible to find someone to paint and its expensive when you do. I have a customer that has over $5K in paint work alone on a car that was in good shape, he just wanted red. If it is stock, Vettes of that period are pretty lame performance wise. The biggest thing to watch out for is DON"T PAY TOO MUCH! A 79 Vette is not a high dollar car, people try to get top buck for them on the name alone. A perfect condition 79 is not worth more than $5-6K tops. I also advise people not to buy a Vette unless you like spending money, every Vette I have ever been involved with is a money pit, regardless of year.
