This is nothing but a scam. The business is not even there. Tried buying the 1973 Camaro Z28. The car did not even exist.
There is no business there. I tried to buy a 1973 yellow Camaro z28.
The car does not exist. Yet he was wanting me to transfer $24,000 to him glad I had somebody go by there and verify that there is no business.

Verified Buyer |Feel like I got ripped off by them, and they don’t even try and help you
I bought a 2005 mustang GT about 6 months ago and its been a nightmare ever since, I spent $9850.00 in repairs and there is still a few things that need fixing. I asked them to buy the car back at $26,000 that I owe on the car and they simply told me pay another $6000 and they would pay the $20000 to the bank, I said I dont understand you are getting a better car back than what you sold so I told the bank to come get it and *** with my credit, I would never recommend them to anyone unless that person had lots of money to just throw away.
User's recommendation: Don’t ever go there

All I have to say is that if you buy a vehicle sight unseen from Streetside, Ebay, BringaTrailer, wherever, you don't have anyone to blame but yourself. Check out the vehicle yourself or use someone you trust.
Period. Did you miss the 'as-is where- is' part? Believe me, I speak from experience. And I know better!
I've been burned by auction houses and BringaTrailer but I can only fault myself. I sold a couple of cars myself through Streetside and all were running/ driving cars that I had put alot into. One car was purchased by a guy sight unseen. His plan was to drive the car from Texas to Colorado.
Pretty ambituous when it became clear that he knew almost nothing about old cars. Dealer calls me and says that the guy got 200 miles down the road and it quit! Somebody told him it was the voltage regulator which I told the selling dealer was a brand new unit.
I put him in touch with a local guy who has a vintage British car shop and the guy had a regulator overnighted to him. But that was nothing that either I or the selling dealer had to do sye
Vehicle misrepresentation
Just bought a 1933 Ford coupe from Streetside Classics. It has been a major problem since it was delivered.
When it arrived the drivers side rear wheel almost fell off, the lug nuts were only finger tight Engine has no oil pressure, automatic transmission doesnt shift and is leaking fluid, a/c doesnt work, heater doesnt work, cooling system has leaks.
Salesman told me it was in great condition. Said they did a road test and everything was just fine.
User's recommendation: I would not recommend Streetside Classics.

Verified Reviewer |Do not believe them , make sure you inspect in person.
I purchased a 1982 chevy which looked to be in perfect condition, that should have been a red flag. Since I live in Texas and the vehicle was in Tennessee I didn't get to actually go look at it.
I did ask how the vehicle ran and was informed by the salesman it ran strong down the road. Well I can only say that was a straight up impossibility . When it finally arrived I was busy and pointed to where he should drop it off at. I finally got a chance to look at it and the delivery driver was in a hurry and I understand since I was busy as he unloaded it.
I went to start it after he left and it made a god awful grinding noise and after checking to make sure it even had oil in it tried again . That's when I realised that it had issues. Turns out major ones, starter was not matching flexplate so it was grinding when you start, after it started I had to used both hands to turn the steering wheel because the power steering gear box or pump was bad. turned out probably both the frame where the gearbox is mounted has been welded so not sure how I can get that fixed.
barley moves due to transmission not shifting properly. That's when I realised I was taken to the cleaners what a *** way to run a business. I cant even get it legal to drive in the state of Texas without some major repairs , and when I told Streetside Classic they should have been honest no reply, when I left a message on there site finally the manager said he didn't see that it was a problem .
The bank is pissed because I am refusing to pay for a vehicle that I can not drive. It would be different if the one getting me the loan hadn't said she has been working with Cody for a long time and he was an honest guy.
User's recommendation: Do not buy anything from this company unless you can visually inspect it in person.

Ad said the truck was well maintained, salesman insured it was a sweet rust free well maintained vehicle ready to enjoy. Upon receiving the truck it needed all 4 brakes, tires, wheels bearings, rotors , drums, King pins, starter, flywheel , carb , steering box and motor mounts. and I found a streetside classic sign under the seat that said DO NOT DRIVE UNSAFE NO BRAKES~

Experience when purchasing a vehicle
Someone gave us a negative review. Well I found nothing wrong with these people any different and buying a used car from any used car company their vehicles are on consignment and not theirs and its up to the buyer to get an independent inspector and review the vehicle if you dont do it correctly, you should not complain after the fact these people provide the best information they can,and try to sell the vehicle

Verified Reviewer |Complaint
I recently purchased a 1967 Oldsmobile from the Nashville Streetside Classics dealership.
When the car was delivered to me it did not have brakes. After the car was unloaded, i drove it up my driveway.
When i stepped on the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. I managed to stop just short of going thru the back of my garage. When i looked under the car, there was a big puddle of brake fluid trailing my car and on my garage floor.
Here's my question: How could this happen? In your video you show the car being driven.
I also had a 3rd party inspection done on the car. He reported that the brakes were working. When i decide to have this fixed, it will need to be towed to the service center.
Why is it you sell a car with no brakes?? This is not a way to keep clientele.
I don't expect the car to be perfect, but i except for 30 thousand dollars it will at least be drivable. The car is in storage now for Winter, so I won't be having it fixed until Spring.
I show cars at many show around Northeast Ohio. Right now your company will not be getting favorable responses, when I am asked where I purchased the car from.
Regards.
I got a 65 Riviera delivered to me from them
First of all dead battery, all the lights dont work on the car, The exhaust was leaking from three different areas, missing parts and pieces that they dont show you in a video. I like the car but disappointing with what they dont show in the video or tell you.
If you buy a car from them make sure you go there in person to see it and test everything because they hide a lot with their videos. Dont trust them if you just see the car through video and have it shipped.
User's recommendation: See the car in person do not trust them
Car wasn't the quality it was made out to be
I bought a 1970 Chevelle SS 396 just one I owned when I was 20. I wish I had had a qualified mechanic to go with me to inspect the car before I bought it.
It had some minor problems which I was informed about and wasn't a show stopper for me. Some time after I got it home I bought a few upgrade parts such as a new intake and carburetor which really improved the performance. As we were finishing up, friend is also an expert mechanic was just looking over the rest of the car and while underneath noticed some suspicious looking parts. The car had its share of rust but someone had filled a bunch of the rust holes in the frame with foam and then painted over them to try to hide what had been done.
So my mechanic dug out all of the foam to be able to see the extent of the damage. He was concerned about the steering because the support for the steering box was one of the places with a lot of rust and he was concerned that this mechanism could break loose causing loss of control.
So we carried to a custom car restoration shop that repaired the frame damage which cost me around $7,000. I'm not trying to so all of their inventory is faulty in this way but just make sure you have someone that knows what to look for.
Poor dealings!!
They wiil talk a big game to you on the phone. As they did to me.
Then sold the car i was interested it from under me. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM!!!!!

Terrible. Ive had four separate major problems and several minor ones
I flew to phoenix to purchase a beautiful car and it exceeded my expectations. Before I got in the driver seat. I wasn't able to test drive it so I had the seller do so. everything seemed great. I wasn't able to drive because I was told it had a reverse manual valve body tranny (the automatic has to be shifted). the sales lady said it did because she didn't know what it was! anyway we took a short cruise up and down the alley and it rode and ran well. so I bought it. Upon "expedited delivery" ($700 extra paid for 1-2 day delivery). When the car came 4 days later instead of what I was told would be 1-2 days, I paid $700 extra dollars on top of the $400 for absolutely nothing! The car. first impression, the brakes were spongy, it didn't have a reverse manual valve body transmission as I was told so I was trying to shift. I called and pam the sales lady and she said it had an automatic-no idea what I was talking about with shifting an automatic car... but she said yes when I asked. I let it go at that point but the number of other issues put me over the top.
First, brakes. master cylinder on 4 disc wildwood system shot. Motor, I was told it was a 383 motor stroked to a 408 but it turned out to be an older cheaper 360 Mopar A motor stroked to a 408. The headlights, pointed all over the place and the adjustment screws were rusted and shot. The driver door only opened from the inside. The window crank took a body builder to turn. The new carpeting was cheaply and stupidly cut and stapled to wood interior inserts...-on a $40,000 car... The alternator was shot and wouldn't charge the battery which was also no good! So new battery $130, Alternator and labor $700, brakes estimated cost $800 (they're being worked on now, door and window repair $400, reverse manual trans body $300/ installation est. $800-$1000, shipping $700, not to mention the 383 motor I was lied to about. 360 block cost compared to a 383 block? A lot of money
time for me to do all this and miss work? THOUSANDS
do the math for a turn key car... low estimate? $3730 in parts and labor to have a drivable car
Without my wasted time
- Staff while i was there before the money transferred
- Ridiculous number of problems with the car they sold me
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution
Playing both ends
Had them send over contracts for a vehicle at an agreed price only to see the car being actively bidder on on e bay to see if they can get more for it
Stay away from Streetside Classics
DO NOT PURCHASE THROUGH STREETSIDE CLASSICS...PERIOD!
They try to get you into a vehicle that is often misrepresented. My vehicle had 'full documentation' and was represented as a having a rebuilt motor. Rebuild was found to be half done. Replaced all fluids day after purchase and found so much Stop Leak that there was no way to operate car as it was all gunked up. This was simply done to sell a car to the next sucker. Unfortunately, that was me! $7K in repairs needed.
I don't have the knowledge of classic cars I would like so I used the recommended inspector to inspect the vehicle. I get that it's an 'As Is' purchase, but you should be able to trust the guidance from Streeside.
Stay away from Streeside Classics!
