They are new to Charlotte, NC area.

I hope to go by the Statesville Road address today.  Although they may have moved to the Lakeview address mentioned in the article. I'll check both and let you know what I find.

That's Joe Carroll's new operation.  He moved from the Cleveland, OH area due to the weather issues.  Have done work for him before and Joe's a straight shooter.

From their website," Old Reliable" is for sale.   As Jerry stated looks like he's done work for them.

Just walked out the door of their current Charlotte facility. But they are moving to a new one on Lakeview a few miles up the road. Met Frank Carroll, the VP of Operations and Tony Klein, consignment manager. Tony let us look around.  There was a good mix of high end classic cars, everything from Camaros to Packards.

Looks like a first class, upscale sales outfit. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They have a large staff. Most of the sales staff has already moved to the new site, and Tony said they would be moved in a few weeks. If anyone wants to talk right now, you should call and make an appointment.

Old Reliable was not there yet! But I did look at the other Camaros that they have on the website. Many are modified, but all were beautiful cars!

Did you by chance happen to see the green 70 T/A challenger?  Its sounds like you wont get the "jersey shuffle" from them like in Lakewood.

427-King, there were two... one with black vinyl top. The exterior and interior of all their cars looked great. But sorry, I didn't look at the motors on the mopars. There were around 100 cars in the warehouse. The vette and Camaro motors I did see were all immaculate, although some were modified. There was one vette that had a leak, transmission, I think.

To be honest, they seem to be high end enough, and so there is no need for the shuffle.

These folks have an unreal collection of cars for sale. Very nice stuff but most of the inventory is somewhat high end.
