Not your average used car dealer

Take a look at their inventory. Beautiful benzes, Jags, and Porsches.

Their inventory comes up any time I search for used cars in my area even though its way out on Long Island. I've often wanted to take a look at some of the gems that pass through there. I think BC could get there in resonable time if you ever needed a good eye to check on something.

Nice collection similar to this "used car" dealer I bought my Maserati from in St Louis. Quite a rush walking through his showroom.

What I particuraly like about these guys is that they will search for the types of classics that only crazy people would like......Mint 85 300D anyone?

"Comes with the original Becker radio"...It's just a bummer that it comes with the US bumpers, those cars are so beautiful with the smaller Euro bumpers.

That beetle convertible made me look. With the last iteration of strut suspension it would drive very nicely I imagine. And looks to be worth quite a bit of $.

The other two sites have very nice SEC's. The sec is a lovely car with the only real drawback being it likes fuel. I might still be driving mine if it weren't for the ridiculously long door making it nearly impossible to get in and out of if parked next to another car.

yes, my first car was a 73 "super beetle" - first year of the struts never worked quite right - dark years for vws.

as to the SECs, jim b in no. cal. would beg to differ he has two of them. (and maybe his own oil well?)

The best year for the Avanti is 1963 with the round headlights. It cannot hold a candle to the 53 lowey coupe though, IMHO.
