There are many businesses that are in this business and have such documentations, this is not one of them. Before anyone considers a purchase on restored classics I would

Great service from Tom and Lynn! After studying the listing on a 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible for several months, I made the decision to have it thoroughly inspected with the plan to buy it and have it shipped to Houston. The condition of the car was very good - just as described - and I started the process of purchasing it. Tom and Lynn were very responsive throughout the purchase. I would happily do business with ADM again.

I have had my 1967 corvette for a couple of weeks now. I cannot thank the entire ADM team for the guidance and assistance during the buying process. Facetime and emails kept me informed as the car was being prepped. The condition of the car was spot on as your described. I took my the car to my local mechanic, so he could get familiar with it, and they gave it an A+. Convertible in the fall , not many things better!!
