Default Anyone vouch for this Vette dealer, Volo Auto Museum?

http://www.volocars.com/showroom/sho...price=&eprice=

They've got four 427 cars, a 1974 454 'vert and a pace car with 8 miles on it for sale.

Thanks for the help.

A good friend of mine purchased his 1970 Chevelle from them. He saw the car just as your link shows. The sent him a movie of the car and he bought it outright. When the car arrived at his house, it was just as shown in the pictures and video. Personally, I would not buy any car without physically looking at it.

Good luck,
Dino

My father in law bought his car at Volo. It turned out to be a pretty decent car, it had a couple of things here and there but not bad. His car was a consignment car through them so I don't think they had a lot of control over it.
His cousin also bought his car there too, but he didn't have as good of luck. It looked real good, but needed a lot of hidden work.
They are real nice there but I would still want to see a car in person before buying it.

I bought my '66 Chevelle convert' from them over a year ago and the deal went real well. I had the car inspected and when it arrived, it was as described. The sales guy was real patient with me and worked with my Credit Union to help ease the transaction.

I would recommend them, but do your due diligence and have it inspected by a impartial third party before you plop down alot of money. Good luck.

do 't know if the ownership is the same, but they have been around since at least the late 70's. i remember their advertising in hemmings motor news back then and i know it's still there. i agree however, i wouldn't tkae someone's word for anything like condition of an older car. pay to have it inspected by a qualified inspector. it's cheap money and well spent.

why is the intake on that car silver and the water neck orange? i would think if it got a complete frame off and all the numbers matched wouldnt the whole engine be orange?

Will they ship it and give you a 48 or 72 hour window to return it if you dont like it (with you eating the shipping charges if returned)?

Some dealers will do that.

That's a great suggestion and policy when both parties are honorable in their dealings.

It seems like they have a pretty good reputation from the feedback here so far.

Well, in all fairness they have their story straight. Original owner blew the engine while racing. Wonder what happened to the all original ignition shielding?
