Free Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist

Year-specific PPI checklists for the most-restored American classics. Pick the archetype, add the odometer if you have it, and we'll generate a structured inspection list — frame & body, drivetrain, suspension/brakes, electrical, interior, road test — with severity grading and year-specific gotchas.

One free generation — sign up for unlimited PPI checklists and to save them as tasks on your vehicle.

Why year-specific matters

A first-gen Mustang has rust-prone shock towers and torque boxes that other cars do not — those are deal-breakers if found, expensive repairs if missed. Squarebody trucks have cab-corner rust patterns a Mustang doesn't. Generic checklists miss these. The generator tailors the list to the specific archetype you pick.
