Default new purchase...

Hey every one! Im new to the forums and to the camaro too.
[]
This coming weekend im planning on purchasing a 1986 IROC-Z28, and i was wondering what i should look for on this specific car, as far as warnings of problems, damage stuff that being new to the car, i wouldnt look for, or just general trouble spots i should keep an eye out for. I understand all the basics of automotive engineering, and how cars work, so i know the basics. Ive previously owned a 89 MB 300E, my parents old car, and it never really gave me any problems. My dad tried to implant into my brain that most domestics are trash, but it didnt stick, ive always had an eye for all the types of camaros and now im trying to get my hands on this car. Im not afraid of working on cars as my grandfather was a MB mechanic,who taught me alot, so im not worried even if there is some work to be done, i just dont know the specifics on this car

> sorry for the long post, any input would be greatly appreciated! THANKS
