I drove 1 1/2 hour down to see a 1970 red GTO convertible they had on Ebay. The place is very dark with rusted out ceiling all over and poor lighting so you cannot really see the cars clearly. They mainly sell used cars out front with most priced below $2K so it surprised me when we walked inside the wherehouse building and there were only a few classic cars there at that time. The GTO was sitting up front in a very dark area with NO ceiling lights so it was impossible to see the true paint condition. As I walked to the back to see what else they had this is when I noticed how bad the interior ceiling was--- no way would I park a high end classic car in there for fear of roof material falling on the car. Bottom line the cars were not as nice as the high prices would indicate. One 69 camero INDY pace care was priced at close to $70K which would normally be a fair price for a restored car but this car was an older restoration showing paint flaws and such. Bottom line the cars I had seen that day were all on Ebay priced at restored values but they were not condition 2 cars. I would check the cars out first before I would bid. I was all prepared to buy the 70 GTO based on the pictures on Ebay and their website but man am I glad I went there in person--- saved me from making a big mistake. Their website looks very professional but you get let downed when you arrive there. Place is very run down.

I know nothing about cars and that’s how they got me I really needed to get back and forth to work that is why I got the car knowing it was old thinking that they fix the cars up and sell them but they don’t they don’t even put fluid in the car or gas for that matter the car is smoking and I called to see what they would do since it’s only been a week. They told me to start pricing a mechanic to fix on the car and pay a car note and insurance for this car. They have totally lost their minds if they feel like I’m about to go for that. I’m not knowledgeable about cars but I am knowledgeable about finances and I work too hard for my money to pay them and insurance and fix on a car that needs a lot of work done. I will be returning their car ASAP!

This is a great place to find that Classic car youve been looking for. Doug, the Owner has a wide variety of exceptional opportunities. They go over every vehicle to make sure its road ready. The staff is friendly and helpful. I highly reccomend this establishment.

I recently purchased a 1966 Barracuda from here. First I would like to say that Terry is amazing. He made the entire process easy. From financing, shipping, and insuring. I was always worried about buying a car out of state,and now, very happy with my decision. i will definitely go through them and recommend them to others when looking for an auto. Car was everything they said it was. Look at pictures and video . Car showed up as described. Started and ran as described. They make it easy and worry free. Communication is excellent! Terry answered all my questions and kept in touch with me through the entire process.

I appreciated Terrys help and honesty through the purchase of my car. I have always been nervous about purchasing a car out of state sight unseen, but my worries were taken away. I am very happy with the customer service I received and the condition of the car when delivered. I will highly recommend and will definitely contact them in the future for any other purchases I may be interested in.

Dan and the guys at American Classic were awesome. They were very helpful with the whole buying process. Ive bought a few cars from dealerships in the past. These guys really made you feel at home and part of the family. I would highly recommend doing business with them... thanks for the 69 Firebird... Love itMike

Customer service is great up until you buy a car.. Then its all down hill from there. If you need anything after you buy a car besides financing, good luck. The only thing they seem to care about is moving cars. Youre just another number. The worst part is that they are in the middle of no where in some barn and they arent a big reputable classic car dealer. I will never buy another car from them again nor would I recommend them.

The salesman Doug did a real number on me. I was looking at the 69 Roadrunner convertible and part of the deal was to trade my 65 fastback. After some haggling we agreed on a price. He wanted me to send my car to him and he would send the Roadrunner to me. I called him and explained to him I won’t let him have possession of both cars and to make it fair and safe for both of us we can ship both cars to each other the same day. After a bit of resistance he agreed. I even told him I’ll find a transporter willing to give us both a discount. He was ok with that. I explained to him if we are good with the deal cause there was another Roadrunner I was interested in and we had a deal but I liked Doug’s better. He told me I’m a man of my word. So I called the other guy and stopped the deal.Fast forward to today. He got all screwy on me. He insisted I send my car first so he can check it out. Now he sent me 15 pics of his car. I sent him 65 pics and a video of my car. It showed every square inch of my car. Nothing to hide. All day he way saying no to me. At 2 I texted him and said let’s do this Doug. I’ll pay all the shipping for both of us. When you get my fastback there look it over. When you find nothing wrong with it please refund me half the shipping costs. But the stipulation is both cars leave our locations at the same time. He said you have a deal. I said you’re a tough cookie but thank you. I had my transporter call him to set up the pick up. He tells her the mustang had to be here first. I call him Back and he gets nasty with me and ends up hanging the phone up on me. I text him saying that wasn’t nice of you. Also told him because of you I lost the other car and sent him a pic of it. He responds by saying it’s ugly anyway! Stay away from this man. He’s not honest like he claims he is on his website. He ruined my deal and all he said was go find another car !I would love for this Larry guy that answers the reviews to please call me and I’ll show him the text messages showing Doug agreeing to the terms of shipping both cars at the same time. Ask Doug for Steve’s cell number. Or you can get my info from Sherri or Linda. I was treated like a yo yo and lost a deal because of Doug. I’ll give you a day to contact me Larry before I continue to post this same review wherever I can possible post it. I was treated like a puppy dog and that was horrible.

Sold me a car that blew up literally the day I bought it on the way home, drove it less then 10 miles, they refused to take the car or offer me any kind of refund and told me there’s nothing they can do. Do not buy a car from these people! Very shady operation

LIES LIES and more lies we went looking for a car on Hemmings we knew in was in Sarasota and this place popped up we showed them the picture and was told it just sold the picture looked nothing like this dump in the background so I knew he was lying then we were told they had the same car coming in next week and wanted my number. I knew we were not in the right place so I showed them the picture of guitars and bikes on the wall and ask to see them GUESS what more lies I went to my cars and Googled classic cars found the place about 5 miles away and sure enough the was the car and the pictures I saw. BEWARE of this place its run down and a buy here pay here when I was there someone was screaming about a car they bought in the parking lot to a older lady who told her too bad its as is I did some research on this place after I left and its run by con artists and felons I will be filing notices with the BBB and others

Purchased a classic car from them via Ebay. I was completely misled about the condition of the car and straight up lied to. The car was missing components once delivered and I now have to spend thousands more on the car for it just to be drive-able. Do not trust this company. Buyer beware!

Review №45

One of the worst experiences I have had buying a car ever. Came to the lot the first day to test drive the 2005 BMW and it wouldnt start and no one could even give me any numbers on the car to submit to my bank. Then my bank sends the check to them and once they received it I still cant pick up the car due to no one being able to do paperwork. Upon delivery, I have a tail light, windshield crack and the car starts this time but a few days later the alternator is shot and they offer to split a bill with me for the expense which essentially paid for the the part and their time. These were safety issues present when I took the car and cost me so much extra time and and expense. I wont be returning here to buy a car and would caution you about buying one here too. The salesman John is a yes man and didnt really know much about the car to begin with either. The whole experience was just awful.
