Default My first f body

Ok guys, well i just put a deposit on my first f body camaro. Its a silver 1995 z28 built auto tranny, it has longtube jet hot coated, magnaflow exhaust, slp intake, 4.10s, 4 in cowl hood. It was on ebay and didnt meet the reserve and i called the guy and we worked out a deal. I live in PA and hes in ohio so its not to far of a drive plus i have family out there so my rents are gonna make it a vacation for themselves. The only bad thing is i havent heard it run yet so before i buy it im gonna drive it and see what its like. It has like 105k on itbut has had a new optispark, wires, plugs, and electric water pump. But im pretty pumped however is there anything i should keep an eye out for noises, leaks etc that might make me wanna not buy it?

Look for any thing that looks, sounds, feels out of the ordinary (not much help specifically, but dont be like ok im 100% sure im gonna buy it, you dont wanna spend 5k in repairs after you buy it) . 105k is allot, but it can still be a good car, just with that many miles you need to go over that thing very thoroughly. Look underneath for rust, when you drive it see if it drives straight, listen for shot wheel bearings, bad tranny.

That would be an awesome car hopefully its in great shape and everything works out!!!
