Loved the selection, wished they would post prices. If I like it Ill buy it, I dont want to talk to you for a half hour. Nice place though.
This dealership caught my eye when I found a an immaculate 1971 Boss 351 Mustang in their inventory. Having had a beautiful 1972 Mach 1 Mustang when my wife and I got married 33 years ago, then sold it. Priorities. We always hoped the day would come when we could afford to replace that Mustang. Well all I can say is this. The car is more than I could have ever dreamed of. My wife and I immediately set in motion the steps necessary to purchase this amazing piece of muscle car history. There is no way this purchase could have gone any smoother. I want to give a shout out to Kermit Watkins, John Aurelio, and Mellisa Summersgill, for the absolute stellar way they treated my wife and I. From start to finish, and by finish, I mean helping the shipping company with everything needed to make sure our car was handled properly and safely while being loaded. The shipping company told me themselves that they were very helpful with everything. Thank you! You guys are amazing!
What an amazing place! So many out of this world cars! The staff was so friendly and helpful! Kermit went out of his way to make my kids day an experience they will never forget! Not to mention my son the die hard batman fan now has a realistic dream of owning a bat mobile!! So so awesome! The classic things they have for sale besides the cars is really neat! Cool signs too! I cant wait until Im back in town to see whats new in the show room! Such a great place all together! I highly recommend it!
I had been looking to buy a 1970 Chevelle SS for quite some time. I surfed all the classic car internet sites for several months getting a feel for prices and quality. I really wanted an original with matching numbers, but also something I could drive on weekends and enjoy. It needed to be rust free and mechanically sound, but also something I could tinker with and upgrade cosmetically over time. I reviewed a lot of vey nice cars out there, but some were not true SSs, or they just did not reach my expectations. Another key point Ill make is not all the sights posted crisp, quality photos or only a few photos, which made me wonder what they were trying to hide.Finally, I located Ideal Classic Cars internet sight and found a true SS that was in great condition. The photos/videos were crisp, detailed and plentiful, showing exterior, interior, engine and even undercarriage, which was clean enough to eat off! I made a phone call to them and the GM, Kermit Watkins, answered the phone. We spent the next 45 minutes talking about the vehicle, its condition and history. Mr. Watkins was very personable and professional, even recommended that I have the vehicle inspected by a third-party vehicle inspection service or come to Florida and take the vehicle for a drive. He provided me with the previous owner history and the detail of care the vehicle received under his ownership. After more discussion, I knew this vehicle was the one for me, and we negotiated a deal.Mr. Watkins reached out to me, nearly daily, until I received the vehicle from a classic car transporter. When the vehicle arrived, there was a binder of information and photos from its time at the dealership. Mr. Watkins has followed up several more times with what I would consider excellent customer service skills! Im very pleased with the vehicle I purchased and the customer service I received from GM Mr. Watkins. I certainly dont want to forget calling out and recognizing Ms. Melissa Summersgill for her exceptional customer service by contacting me daily and handling all the required documents! Ideal Classic Cars is fortunate to have employees of this caliber!Thanks again, Im really enjoying the car!
Its difficult to purchase a car when you dont have the opportunity to see it in person. The crew at Ideal Classic Cars did a great job of making me comfortable, and telling me about the Mustang. Very happy and satisfied!
Amazing place to visit. All you do is register with a e mail. Beautiful cars. Worth the trip
What can I say? A car is like your first love. Like a best friend. They make memories to be never forgotten. They live in our hearts and minds forever.We got a call from a very special family friend who wanted to buy my husband a gift for our newly born son to have. Something that they can enjoy together. I didnt think anything of it really and gave him our address. He then asked me if my husband was a Ford or Chevy kind of guy and of course, I said Chevy. Thinking some calendar or something car-ish was going to show up to our home, I then got a call from Mr. Fritz saying that our dear friend purchased a 1969 Chevy Camaro for my husband and new son and its been fully restored and updated. Our friend wanted it to be a surprise for my husband and a congratulatory gift for our new son, a token of his appreciation for my husbands elite service to our country and the sacrifices our family makes year after year, deployment after deployment. We are approaching deployment #14. We were in absolute disbelief and still are. We have no way of ever repaying him for this grand gesture but are so humbled by this beautiful car we now have sitting in our garage, waiting to make new memories with. It showed up in pristine condition and was such a an amazing surprise!Thank you Ideal Classic Cars. Thank you Tom from the bottom of our hearts.We had an amazing unexpected experience and highly recommend any dealings with Ideal Classic Cars. They will go above and beyond to make it as special for you as they did for us!
I just wanted to take a moment and express how everyone at Ideal Classic Cars made the purchase of my first classic car an enjoyable one. Both my salesman, John, and his manager took the time necessary to answer all of my questions. Their knowledge, not only about the 1957 TBird that I purchased, but all of the cars in the showroom or in comparing one to a 1957 TBird, was reassuring that they were truly trying to communicate any and every fact so I could make an informed decision. There was absolutely no pressure to get me to buy a/the car. Once we agreed to a deal, I must say the business end of the transaction was the best in any 50 years of buying cars. Ideal offered, and I accepted, to deliver the car to my house, and when it arrived, the two men stayed and showed my wife and me various little things about the car until we had no further questions. If you, or anyone you know, are interested in a classic car, I wholeheartedly recommend Ideal Classic Cars in Venice for an honest and enjoyable experience.
I LOVE this place! They have some of the most popular TV and movie cars. Lots of old muscle cars that are restored to immaculate condition. Kids and adults would really enjoy this car showroom.
If youre looking the the best place to buy a classic this is it! Spoke to some other classic dealers and none were as friendly and helpful. Loving my new Chevelle!
Wow! And wow again! One of the most beautiful collections of classic and just hot cars I have ever seen! If you price squeamish, the value of all their beauties is all you need to loosen your budget. Every car is pristine. Go, enjoy!
Great place to buy a classic car ! my salesman was very frienly and my car was delivered right my house. fantastic people!
Wow wow wow. The place gave me the vapors. Amazing vehicles and really friendy staff. Great selection of classics that took me back to the good old days of real steel automobiles. I live a few hours away so I wish they had a bit more YouTube presence. All the vehicles have a bit to much shine to them, not sure if its some sort of clay waxing going on but all the cars look like candy. Cant wait till our next trip to Venice to see whats new
Had a very nice visit to a car museum / car dealer. It only cost me my email address. There were many cars to look at their interiors and exteriors. There are many classic cars and some unique cars. I believe it was my first time to see the Monkees mobile, Green Hornets car and the Scooby van. Due to the museums price and what is on display, it is definitely worth a look.
This dealership is a mess. The staff is unprepared for just about any intelligent question a buyer will ask. They just want to shovel garbage cars that are there on consignment ! I purchased a car there about 6 months ago and its still in my speed shop being repaired. Stay Away !
Hello allI have gotten 2 classic cars from themThay are very easy to deal with they stand behind what they say would not go anywhere else. Richard
A lot of beautiful old cars to look at.
Had Great time with Cars and Treats with grand kids finally getting out amongst other kids
Nice place,some cars were over priced but know surprise there,some cars werent class A restorations but they were asking class A pricing,I dont think Id buy a car from here but it was pleasant enough to walk around inside in there air conditioned showroom for 30 minutes and reminis of a better era in this country.
Going to give it a 1 star because we couldnt get Inside without a mask was Interested in the jeep Sahara out front. Looking for a decent jeep and it was a nice looking one ..just went a little further down to the jeep dealer instead!
Loved seeing all the classic vintage cars, including the batmobile!
Brilliant, well worth a visit.Cars are extremely well restored, not concours (dont claim to be) but a extremely high standard.Very friendly staff.As nearly all the cars are for sale it makes a return visit on the cards.
I bought a 58 Vette from them in February. Said to be in pristine condition. When I received it there was damage on the front end. They claimed it was from shipping but their bill of lading pictures showed the damage was there before it left their showroom. They then said to get an estimate of the damage and they would work with me on the repairs. I sent the estimate. Be patient, they said, we will get back in touch...been 3 months now and I never received any help. In addition, the back turn signals were reversed, fuel gauge did not work, and speedometer did not work (some of which could have happened in transit). Just be careful...except for these few things the car is a beauty!
All the cars here are for sale and they have a lot of cool things to look at!
Visited way before the Wuhan virus. I enjoyed my visit. I spent about 30 to 45 minutes looking around.
Very impressive operation. A must see car museum for high end muscle cars and rare classic cars and trucks. The best part is everything is for sale! No admission! Coolest dealer Im Florida!
Over 80 cars indoor from muscle cars two things like the Beverly hills truck and the batmobile. No pressure. Lots of unique antique thing there such as these drive in movie theater speakers. They also have antique gas pumps for sale. If youre in the area stop by and check them out or if youre in need of a classic car that they have just from overhearing them talking on the phone they seem like real nice people.

Nice way to spend a little time looking at some really nice cars. Selection changes all the time. These cars are not ones that I would be comfortable driving around as they are too nice for that. Go to car shows maybe. Go and take a look. Its worth the time and you might find something buy!

Awsome cars they gave me a toy
Good time. Some very unique cars. Nice car show this weekend too.
Never been in their showroom but watch out for the driver of their flatbed. I made a lane change directional and all. I didnt cut him off but he came up on me horn blaring and all I could see was the headlights. Then he came on the side of me still beeping the horn so I called the business she said she knew who it was and will take care of it . I get a call back after they talked to the driver and he said he didnt know why I was so mad. Im sorry hes representing the company and he was out of line.
