Has anyone ever dealt with Country Classic Cars? Kind of curious as I started looking at their inventory - lots of stuff, seem like fair prices. http://www.countryclassiccars.com/ Any input is welcome!
Check the trunk for cow turds. Read the descriptions and some don't make sense. One says spend 20 years in a Museum but looks like it was driven there every day of that 20 years. Just a matter of realizing the country folks are not as discriminating as the city folks. You're going to have to see them in person.
There are at least 3 other threads on this place. The general consensus is that they carry over-priced cars, often with disguised rust, so proceed with caution.
A bunch over over priced rusted out doner cars. They do have a few nice ones indoors but still over priced.
Thanks for the help guys. Will probably end up cruising the Caddy this season, and start considering a sale in the fall for a new winter project. Something 49-54 ish GM, which has always been my dream!
I walked through the place a few times; they want big bucks for some seriously rusted out old cars. Dont know how they stay in buisness.
They're about a mile from my house. I'd be glad to look at any car someone is interested in, but per the above posters - overpriced and never nearly as nice as described. I looked at a 50 Plymouth convertible over there that was described as "solid." The inner rockers were nothing but rust. The car needed loads of work and they wanted 13 grand. I got them down to 11 - twice what it was worth. needless to say, I passed. It was still there eight months later.
I've been there several times. They have lots of cars in lots of conditions. Yeah, a lot are overpriced but I have seen several cars, (outside ones) that were interesting cars that were priced right. They have quite a few (inside cars) that are nicer. I also know guys who bought cars there that are satisfied. Like any antique or classic, best to look at it yourself or know someone who knows cars very well before buying.
