Am looking to purchase a chrome bumper car in the USA. Have seen a nice one at Flemings Ultimate Garage in Rockville MD. Has any member had dealings with this company. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

They are very pricey, with mark ups well over 35-40% of the cars actual worth. I live here in Maryland, with cars shipping overseas from our port here daily. I also have a Vette for sale, but she is not a chome bumper car. But, just the same, you may want to give her a look.

Good luck in your search,

What exactly are you looking for?
You might contact Larry Karlo @ Vettefinders.
My '70 convertible, 350/300, 4 speed, Corvette Bronze/Bk vinyl, tilt/tele, power steering, shoulder belts, power brakes, soft top only will be for sale soon.
This is a 100% original component car that has had an extensive frame off restoration (done by me). Every nut and bolt in as new condition. Paint is stunning, interior as new, fit and performance is perfect, etc., etc.
Will be expensive---likely in the $50 grand area.
Complete photo file of all stages of restoration is available.

A word of advice for potential overseas buyers:
As well as the great help and advice from members on this Forum
Join the NCRS.
Buy the NCRS Judging and Technical guide.

There is also a NZ NCRS Chapter, can help with a contact if you need it.

I have a factory black with saddle interior L46 '69 coupe that I might consider selling for the right price. Car has tilt-tele, power windows, power steering, Transistor ignition, side louver trim. All lights work, fiber optics all work as does the wiper door.
As far as I can tell this car has all born with components (engine, carb, distributor; etc.)
Only thing I have done since purchasing it a year and a half ago was dynomat the interior, re-do the seats with new foam and covers as well as install new visors and carpet.

I am on the fence about selling it because I see how many people want to "steal" these cars and I am not willing to deal with that crap.
