I recently purchased a 1978 Chevrolet Corvette Special Edition Indy Pace Car from Matt Blevens at Exotic Cars of Houston (ECH). I enjoy the car which came about 3 weeks ago. Matt and I talked back and forth for several weeks. I had someone check it out and give a report. We struck a deal to transfer the car which they had from a local individual former owner. Matt help me find some possible car carrier folks to consider for the approximate 1300 mile trip to its new home. The delivery company gave me a discount from initial independent quote and also did a great job for me. Matt let me know when the car was loaded to head my way. Even after the sale, after talking to the former owner (arranged at my request by Matt), I noted some other items for the car that the dealership might still have. Matt was kind enough to send them to me in a box at their cost without hesitation. I have wanted one of these cars since they were released 42 years ago right after my wife and I were married. The paint jobs on these cars from factory were nothing to write home about. From seeing or having ones inspected, even the ultra low mile examples (such as at Mecum Kissimmee auction January 2020) often had less than superior paint jobs. The one I got is low mile but has enough miles on it to have been driven to still work. Great paint job for its age, AC works after we charged it with R12 and am anxious to drive it to local shows once we are allowed to do that again after the beer flu limitations we face now. Thank you Matt, especially since selling me a 78 Chevrolet Corvette is not the same for you as selling someone a Lambo or Ferrari.
I'll tell you, Gary and Matt know how to make things happen! I purchased a Superformance Shelby Daytona Coupe sight unseen from them, my payment landed to them on a Monday and they had a shipper/car hauler lined up for me as I received the car in Colorado at 5pm Wednesday two days later. In addition, I requested another 30-day permit and they were very responsive on getting that to me. Great team there at Exotic Cars of Houston.
