Bottom line up front: If you can find ANY other classic car dealer with a similar car, go with that other dealer. I was surprised this dealer was not already on Yelp. They have a website, a presence on FaceBook, and primarily sell through eBay. However, I get it now. eBay only allows feedback up to 60 days which might explain RK's great ratings. I purchased a '57 Corvette from RK for my Dad who was going through chemo. I had never purchased a gift like this before in my life and was excited to be able to do this for him to boost his spirits during cancer treatment. After purchasing the car and taking delivery, it took 45 DAYS+ to get the title from RK. They kept telling me it was part of an estate sale. Hugh? Do you own the car that you sold me or not?!?! They present themselves as a dealer, but maybe they're consignment? Not upfront about their process at all. It took them weeks to respond to my inquiries about status of the title. Without the title, I could not even begin registering the car (which was going to take another month due to COVID). I purchased the car in June, but JUST got the Corvette back on the road in late August after some pretty extensive repairs costing nearly $3,000. (And these expenses come with a massive discount because the guy who owns the shop where the repairs were performed is a childhood friend.) I wish at least some of these things had been disclosed. I realize that old cars have old car problems, but this is still pretty disappointing. FINALLY getting it on the road after a summer of repairs is unacceptable when I was told it "runs great and has no issues except for windshield wipers."
