Inspection priorities

These are questions suggested by the advertised configuration, not diagnoses.

Restoration file

Review dated photographs and invoices, distinguishing rebuilt components from inspected or reused parts.

V8 installation and identity

Verify engine casting numbers and factory configuration, then check compression, cooling and gearbox operation.

Mileage and structure

Clarify the zero-mile placeholder and inspect floors, tailgate, rockers and roof channels for hidden corrosion.

Before contacting the seller

Advertised asking price at the dated source review. Confirm availability, fees and an itemized total with the seller.

Confirm the exact vehicle remains available, request current exact-VIN photographs and the title and service records, and arrange an independent inspection. Waghoon does not sell, reserve or inspect vehicles.
