I purchased A 1958 corvette for top dollar. John, the salesman, assured me it was in mint condition, and had been gone completely through by their service team. He also said they would go through it again before shipping. I needed a good drivable car for an upcoming Route 66 trip. I purchased the car for $140K (50% over what they paid) and received delivery a week or two later. And then the nightmare began. First, they didn’t send me the transferred title, and there was no registration, so I couldn’t legally drive it. It took three phone calls, ultimately with the GM, and over two weeks to get the title Next, the car stalled once warm, and then was very hard to start. The Ideal service manager told me to an adjust two of the mixture controls on the Holly carburetor. Turned out the carburetor was a Carter and the advice was not applicable. Chevrolet never put a Holly carburetor on any corvettes. I has to send he carb out for rebuild. Also we noticed there was white smoke coming out the exhaust, After extensive trouble shooting we pulled the heads and found a leaky head gasket allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. The car also had extensive oil leaks, which we are still troubleshooting. As of now, it looks like the rear main seal was improperly installed. Also there is a coolant leak, which looks to be coming from the heater core. I now have over a hundred hours in this car over the last few weeks. Looks like we are going to miss the rte 66 trip. The company was so unresponsive over the title and carb issue that I have quit calling them. They completely misrepresented the running condition of this car, and they certainly did not “completely go through it.” I found the oil drain plug was still painted over from the restoration 8 years ago, it had never been removed. Taken for a ride in Scottsdale. Doug
