PLEASE READ REGARDING CLASSIC CARS!

 

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING A CLASSIC CAR HOME. OLD CARS ARE JUST THAT, OLD CARS. YOU NEED TO SHIP IT HOME. OUT ON THE ROAD, MANY MILES FROM HOME IS NOT THE PLACE TO GET FAMILIAR WITH YOUR OLD CAR. ULTIMATELY, THIS IS STRICTLY THE BUYERS CHOICE, HOWEVER, THIS IS JUST OUR RECOMMENDATION.

 

MILEAGE IS EXEMPT.

 

UNLESS WE HAVE SOME DOCUMENTATION WE ALWAYS SELL CLASSIC CARS AS MILEAGE EXEMPT. THAT MEANS WE DO NOT KNOW THE ORIGINAL MILES. WHAT WE LIST IN THE AD IS WHAT THE ODOMETER CURRENTLY READS OR IS BASED OFF REBUILD INFORMATION OF THE ENGINE AND OR BODY/CHASSIS. ALSO, YOU CANNOT DO A CARFAX OR AUTOCHECK ON ANY VEHICLE OLDER THAN 1981.



 

PLEASE REMEMBER TO CALL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS, WE SELL MANY VEHICLES ON EBAY AND IT IS MORE OFTEN THAN NOT VERY DIFFICULT TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS IN A TIMELY MANNER.  IF YOU EMAIL SEVERAL QUESTIONS WE WILL TELL YOU TO CALL.  IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BUYING A VEHICLE, YOU NEED TO CALL US AT 303-339-0763.
