THE PICTURES AND VIDEO SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES!

Check out our unsolicited feedback fromsatisfied buyers. The feedback speaks for itself!

Pleaseremember our cars are classics and most of our inventory is over 40 years old. They're built to drive and do develop drips from long periods of sitting due to expanding and contracting seals and gaskets. It's seldom that we come across a classic that's completely drip free. We do our best to describe our inventory in full detail, to include pictures and video; however, due tothe age of these cars, we're unable to offer a warranty. While we only deal in vehicles that are in quality condition, we always prefer the buyer take the time to check the vehicle out in person or arrange for a third party vehicle inspection. We strive to make our customers happy and prideourselveson positive feedback.

If you would like to fly in and check this beauty out, we would be happy to pick you up from the Cleveland-Hopkins Airport. This car can be put up on our lift and you'll be able to do athorough inspection as well as enjoy a test drive.
