Buying a fifty-year-old car sight unseen takes trust. Here’s exactly what that trust looks like on paper — when a return applies, how to start one, and how a refund actually gets to you.
Last Updated: August 2026
Applies To: All Vehicle Purchases
Eligibility & Exceptions
If the vehicle doesn’t match its listed description, or turns up a major defect we didn’t disclose, get in touch within 7 business days of delivery to start a return.
If a car arrives below the condition we advertised, we’ll work with you on either a refund or an exchange, depending on what happened.
Starting A Return
Call or email us to report what’s wrong.
Send over details on the issue, along with photos if you’ve got them.
Ship the car back within 30 calendar days of delivery, in the same shape it arrived in — no modifications, no new damage.
How Refunds Work
Once a return is approved, you get the full purchase price back — shipping and any related costs aren’t included. That refund lands within 30 business days of us getting the car back.
Who Covers Shipping
Sending the car back is on the buyer’s dime, unless the return is because of a defect or a mismatch with how we described it — in that case, it’s on us.

We stand behind every car that leaves our lot — that's the whole point of putting it in writing.
We specialize in restoring and sourcing vintage automobiles with verified history — chassis numbers checked, repairs logged, nothing hidden under fresh paint. Every car that leaves our shop comes with full documentation, not just a good story.
