Old cars in Gray Court?

There's a place in Gray Court that always advertises lots of old cars in the Classic Auto Trader online. Any of you guys ever stop in there? Is any of his stuff any good, or is it junk? Might stop in there on my next trip.

I think its the Lot right off of I-385... Grey Court / Fountain Inn. Its like 5-7mins from me. They had a lot of Olddd cars up there. Some look like they have been restored already and some not (some rust and body parts missing).

Also less than a 5-7 drive from me -in the direction of the car lot-, a "some guy" has about 5-6 (?) Ford trucks from the early 70s to current most of all are 4x4s ....all out in his driveway. I wonder if he's a FTE user?

Ya might want to go on a recruitment trip Trigger. BTW if you come across a 29 to 33 Ford PU let me know, Thats what my next project will be. Oh and a good machine shop that knows flatheads.

There is also a place up here near where I'm at where you can get cars and trucks from the 30's- Up. If anyone wants to wonder up this way let me know I'll be glad to take you there.

Thanks for the pics, Rich. What was your impression? Worth a visit? I think that's the guy who advertises in Auto Trader, but it's hard to tell if his cars are worth what he's asking.

Classic Cars of SC will rip you a new one. His prices are outragous. Every car I have looked at up there he just wanted an arm and a leg for it.

I have to agree his prices are way too high. If you feel like coming to Lexington,NC there is a place called Binghams last time I was there they has 3 40 Ford trucks,a couple of Effies a 59 Ranchero he has a small but good inventory. He only wanted $1800. for a 40 Ford Truck still had the flathead in it. But needed a major resto. I hope to take a trip out there and I'll take some pictures if anyone is interested.

Theres a few that I saw.... that seemed reasonable (I liked the Broncos ) ... most others (as Blake put it) are down right outragous...

I stopped in at that place several years ago and the prices are outrageous.
All the people I have talked to tell me not to do any business with him.
You will get the shaft.
