ericisback Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Can anyone recommend someone GREAT for a pre-purchase inspection for a 1965 Riviera GS around Mt Airy, MD? Thanks for any help!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 This guy is just a hoot and a holler away over in Mayberry. Knows his cars and would probably do it for dinner in the Chinese restaurant. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XframeFX Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 But still closer than KY and he seems very capable and honest! Maybe two dinners then. Not available next week though. He's visiting family over in "Mt. Pilot"😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good day, Not sure if this thread has been helpful or not, and I have no suggestions either way with respect to your quest to find someone to inspect the car nor any comment related to the suggestions already made in this thread. A quick question; I often speed read some of these threads, but I noticed you posted a build sheet and cowl tag for a '65 elsewhere in the forum. Is this/that car one you are looking to purchase? If so, in lieu of you finding anybody to inspect it up close and personal, I would suggest asking the seller for as many pictures of the car as possible. Post them to this forum. It's amazing the discerning eyes that are part of this group and the level of detail info and honest critique that can be provided from a handful of decent pictures. Anyway, if you are purchasing, good luck, but be careful whom you can trust... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericisback Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thank you for the feedback. I’m having an inspector look at it on Friday. I’ll upload some photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seafoam65 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Is your inspector's name "Goober" by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
60FlatTop Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Some of those inspectors are just a face in the crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 My experience with inspectors is that you either visit the car yourself, or get enough pictures and info that you are comfortable buying it sight unseen. The $400 or so for the inspection could probably be used to heat your house, but I just lighting it on fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telriv Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Get as many DETAILED under car photos as possible. Even a junker can look good with half-way properly applied "Lipstick". Tom T. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
