Anybody have any comment on the dealer below? His prices look okay but I was wondering if anyone has dealt with them. They are in Costa Mesa Ca.

I have met the owner and gone to his shop. I was actually there a month or so ago looking at his inventory.

I happened to look at a 66 that has since sold. He has a good reputation from what I hear. After meeting and speaking with him, my take is that he is an honest man very knowledgable in Corvettes. I think his prices are decent for a dealer.

As with anything, buyer beware

I know him very well - very honest and knowledgeable. He is an NCRS judge. He'll give you an accurate assessment of the cars in his inventory.

They have an impressive list of testimonials on their website.

I purchased my '64 convertible from them back in 6/2002. Excellent transaction all the way through. Highly recommended.

I have spoken with John several times. He is very honest. I would have little hesitation buying from him. Martin

Just bought a 66 Coupe from him. The car was as described. I went to his shop to check it out and leared alot...he was very helpful in showing me what I should look for to prove the car was solid. Also met him at NCRS Nationals this year where he was judging. I WOULD BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM HIM. Dan

I have spoke with John and although I did not purchase a car from him I can assure you that he does have a terrific accent.

He is a sponser for the NCRS Australia chapter. So he must be a good Bloke, Mate

John is very well respected in Southern California and the country as a very good, honest Corvette dealer. You will see him at major events like Bloomington and Carlisle, so he has his ear on the "railroad track" and understands the Corvette market well.

He has excellent contacts in his homeland of Australia and also with oveseas shipping if one has needs to import or export.

Bret, how is the silver 65 coupe performing ? Are you looking for an additional car ?

I bought a '71 from a dealer i Denmark who specializes in importing american cars. I later found out (from looking at the pictures of my car in GM Downunders parking lot and comparing to other add's and Google Earth that he bought the car from GM downunder

The car was as promissed, I didn't find any unpleasant surprises when i restored it.

Greetings from Denmark

I have also purchased items from John and was very happy each time. You should feel very comfortable dealing with this group...
