Needless to say. and it runs super. There were some mild performance upgrades including Ford Headers with full dual exhaust and a high energy ignition system conversion. If you’re wanting a discreet and hot. (not only by title) car. come on. enjoy this Comet Caliente’ today.

Customer Testimonial

Dear Classic Enterprises. /p>

Just a note to thank you for a wonderful car-buying experience.

My purchase of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air was an easy transaction and you and your staff were more than accommodating. The process and the arranging of some changes before the car was transported to me. here in Oregon. was gratifying.

I also appreciate your referral to Allied. who picked up the car within four days and delivered the car. without a hitch. in their enclosed carrier. Prior to contacting Allied. I had three brokers who promised delivery. but couldn't get the job done - a wasted three weeks.

As an out-of-town. long distance buyer. it was not cost effective to make the trip from Oregon to Cedar Rapids. Iowa to personally inspect the car. In that situation. between the numerous photos you provided and an independent inspection. ordered by me. by a professional classic car inspection co. . I felt the purchase - sight unseen - would still be a good way to go. I was not disappointed.

Thank you also for your many calls and emails to me throughout the process to make sure I was happy with the process and that the transaction was going smoothly. I would highly recommend your services and the quality of your inventory.

Warmest regards.
Curtis A.
Jacksonville. OR
