Make sure you look over the suspension, cracks in the fiberglass, the weatherstripping on the t-top/targa doesn't leak, and look for stress cracks under the bar that goes between the door glass & hatch. If you can, get a C4 on jackstands and see if theres any excessive play in the wheels, wobbling it left & right, if theres too much play, the hubs may be bad. Corvette parts aren't too expensive and theres enough Corvette only salvage yards & aftermarket supply out there to find what you need at decent prices.
