CONCLUSION: I can personally attest to the quality of this car, I know the shop that restored it does not compromise their work. The owner of the car was not willing to cut corners either. He checked on his car everyday mon-fri for 6 years! He only sold the car because he bought a collection of 5 Camaros he couldn't pass up. Here is your chance to take advantage of someone else's determination, time and effort!

For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide is my professional opinion based on my experience with these vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
