What customers are saying
I can't say enough about my experience!
When I bought my 71 MBZ 600, I thought that I was paying a high price, but when I got my car, I realized that this was the best car in my collection. Thank you Tom for selling this car to me.
1966 Pontiac GTO
This seller has a huge & impressive inventory. Nick showed me the vehicle I bought and I found he's not your typical car salesman. He's very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to deal with. The day I picked up my car I got a glimpse of where they detail and service their vehicles. I saw the time and effort they put into their inventory. I don't normally leave reviews; but, I was so pleased with my experience I felt I needed to.
Best shopping experience!!!
Been shopping around for quite some time before finding my 1973 Citroen at Vintage Car Collector. Sale went smoothly and with ease, for what I'm very thankful. Highly recommended!
If there was 10 stars I'd give them a 10.
I've dealt with many people & have quite a few cars. Dealing with Vintage from start to the end of the deal was excellent. The communication is great. They have such a great selection of cars there and everything about them is so professional. I even mentioned they have a VW Microbus that if they fix a little they can get double the $$$ but they don't do that & they have some gems. I love the place & I totally trust them with any deal.
GREAT people.

1979 Mercedes Benz 400-Series 6.9
1979 Mercedes Benz 6.9
This car has only 59,855 actual miles. Back in the day this was a “banker's hot-road”. There were approximately 1,800 of these sold in the US. It featured a massive 6.9 fuel injection gasoline engine and had fully hydraulic suspension that allowed the car to achieve an unbelievable ride, and it still does today. This Mercedes was originally the American version, but I converted it to European version with European hard-to-find bumpers, also with a front spoiler that goes on the bottom of the AMG spoiler. It's a very unique looking car and gets lots of attention. It's got great paint job, Prime Time Body Shop did the work a few months ago. I was going to keep it but decided to sell it since I'm selling all my collection, so it is your chance to own this low mileage car!
The vehicle comes with the original factory price sticker of $50,190.
Mechanical
This Mercedes always starts with ease and runs just fine. I had my mechanic go over the car, so everything works fine. Since I had bought it from a collector, it has always been well-kept. It produces massive power and 4-wheel power disc brake system is excelent. The previous owner replaced the rear leveling valve (front valve is in good condition), all five accumulator balls, and one hydraulic hose. The hydraulic system works great with leverage on the dash. It goes up and down, so however you want the car to sit, it does that way, you want it low - it sits low, you want it up - it sits up. The vacuum hoses have been replaced, no leaks. Exhaust is great. Central locking works just fine. AC blows ice-cold, all power windows work fine, sunroof works good. This engine is cool even in a 100 degrees weather, and runs strong, the radiator works fine. Also the steering box has been replaced by the previous owner, and it works great.
Exterior
This Mercedes is a laser straight car. The engine bay is very complete and clean. The car has never been in accidents and I have a clean title in hand. The car has always been garage-kept, in a rust-free condition. The paint looks great, original color, all glass is nice and the chrome is shiny.
Interior
The interior is full “tobacco brown” leather. It has a very minor hairline crack on the dash and one spot on the headliner on the driver's side, but nothing serious; overall it's just great! Leather is in fantastic condition for its age. It has the original brown sisal floor mats that are great. All gauges work as they should. A new windshield gasket has been installed. The headliner and door panels are in great shape.
