Ron totally misrepresented the car he sent me. $17k and 3-years later, it is the car it should have been. Bent frame, suspension so dangerous, it wasn't safe to drive. That being said, it was my decision to buy the car without flying over to have it inspected (Covid) so I own that mistake. Ron seemed like a trustworthy guy so I trusted him. Moral of the story is never, ever buy a collector car from anyone without having it inspected by a reputable source. read more

I read the reviews, ignored them and wound up with a total piece of crap. Absolute shiny turd! Somehow the car inspection service was convinced that the car was mechanically sound. I'm not implying anything. SO many nonfunctioning items. Great photographer.Got perfect lighting, angle and distance. Purchased against my better judgement and paying for it now. Words of wisdom : Please be smarter than myself and others and just say no to Ron's Classic Cars. No matter what he does or how it looks. **AND RON : I read several reviews where you threatened to open a "can of whoopass" on your cheated customers. I'll give you my address. 6'5", 230 lbs. Beware of a pissed off Marine. ** read more

See all

Ron's classic's sold us my husband and I a car and it was not what he said it was, did not have all the things the listing said it had. The car was put very poorly. Don't purchase from Rons classics, you will regret it 100% read more

Still spending money trying to repair the junk that Ron's Classic Cars sold at auction. This CROOK preys on people who come wanting an honest deal. YOU CAN'T GET IT FROM HIM. He lies, manipulates, does not stand behind anything he sells...BEWARE.... read more

We just this week bought a car from Ron's. His web site, photos and videos are the REAL DEAL. I have been on cross country flights like this many, many times before and I have never had such an honest and genuine person in Ron. This car was everything he showed and talked about. He took time with me, we drove the car on a good long test drive. This is how a classic car experience should be. He even helped me with a local car hauler, who was excellent. Not surprising though, he gave me no reason whatsoever to doubt him. When the time is right, we will look to Ron first. Great car, fair price and everything exactly how he described. NO BS WHATSOEVER! read more

I normally do not prefer to write bad reviews, but I'd hate to see someone go through what I have. I was planning on making a trade with Ron, but decided not to after reading some of his terrible reviews. He has since been calling me incessantly and screaming belligerently. He calls several times a day and throughout the night. This person is very unprofessional and does not behave rationally. I would not do business him and caution others to consider before making with Ron Classic Cars in Soddy Daisy Tennessee read more

I drove up to Ron's place after seeing what I thought a 1967 Camaro SS that had been owned by New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees ... after asking him a number of questions about if is was a true SS car as badged and if is was a 350 engine as badged (and he confirmed both were correct, I also asked the same questions in text and I still have his answers saved ) I drove back home to think about the car ...it was a very clean Camaro so to make a long story short we traded and I brought it home ... I find out after the sale it was neither a true SS nor a 350 but a 327 ... we found you tube auction footage where he had ran it through a well known auction as a standard Camaro with a 327 back in 2019 so he knew he was lying when he was selling it to me ..this guy is supposed to be a Christian but has a very very nasty and rude attitude after the sale so buyers beware .. read more

The absolute worst dealer I have ever dealt with! RUDE RUDE RUDE! Also, not a man of his word! A complete liar and thinks he is a tough guy when you call him out on his lies!!! I WOULD NEVER DEAL WITH HIM EVER AGAIN AND HIS CARS ARE JUNK BUT LOOK OK! read more

I just purchased a 1969 Camaro Z28 from Ron. I could not be more happier! the car is immaculate in every detail. It is numbers matching, original and in excellent working condition. Ron was very easy to work with throughout the process. We agreed on a price and he immediately sent me a bill of sale and a timeline of when the car would be shipped. After about 2 days the title arrived in the mail and the shipper called to confirm details. I could not be happier!!! The car is beautiful and the whole experience with Ron's Classic Cars was easy and simple. Give Ron a call if you are in the market for a classic car and want an honest dealer. read more

Ron is a crook and a liar, i sent this man a $2000 wire to hold a 1968 Camaro ss for me until i could come look at it which he gave me 2 weeks to do or it was non-refundable so i made the trip in 7 days ( from PA to Tenn) only to find out that this man lied to me and deceived me by saying the car was restored within 3 years and everything was new only to find out that the floor boards had holes in them with steel wool shoved in the hole then bondo applied to try to hide it, the glass had cracks in them and the inside needed some work!!! I became enraged after traveling 800 miles to come look at the car and gave him $2000 as a deposit which he refused to give me back!!! he said i was looking for a $65,000 car for a $30,000 price i said no i want what you advertised which was a restored 68 camaro for $34,000. BUYER BE WARE this man is a straight up used car sales man who will stop at nothing to get your money and lose no sleep over hustling you. this evil person took my $2000 1 week before xmas during the covid pandemic and was heartless about it in fact he made a bunch of lies up saying i should of questioned this and that i said with all due respect isnt that why i traveled here to see the car in person rather than just pay you for something i havent seen??? he flipped the script and said if you put a down payment on a house and backed out would you want refunded , i said absolutely if i was wrongfully lied to and deceived. Bottom line is this man stole $2000 from me and my family around the holidays then acted like he was the victim. please everyone stay away from this hustler he will steal and lie to you also. read more

update filled out another bbb complaint and he responded by admitting he did not return all my money and then rambled on about how long he has been in buisiness and how we want 60k cars for 30 k but never said the car was a lemon so anybody want to start a class action lawsuit i have all my texts where he admits the car had many problems read more

BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! This guy has all the charm in the world when he is trying to sell you car. The Camaro we got from him needed 15k worth of rust repairs to the frame and body, all covered in bond. Even Bondo on the frame. When I called him he new nothing about it, called me a liar and said. Then come sue me in TN. No ethics whatsoever. He is the ultimate shady car dealer. Do your research on him. Check the Better business Bureau. read more

One of the worst purchases of my life. This guy is dishonest. I made the mistake of not having the car inspected and trusting this man to tell the truth. My "perfect" care required $15K in repairs just to make it safe. Now power steering. Brakes completely non-functional. Hood didn't open (electronic).....on and on and on. He even didn't return $400 of my money that was overpaid after the car was shipped. Buyer beware and don't trust a single thing he says. read more

Ron's classic cars are JUNK! He is a thieving liar!!!! The car he sold me was described as a quality show 55 Chevy. When the car arrived I was shocked at the D- condition. The pictures on his website showed a completely different engine compartment that was super clean and a no rust body. When I first contacted him he said that he stands behind all his cars and if I was not satisfied I could return the car to him for a refund or exchange it for a different vehicle. I have left him a dozen phone messages and text messages over the last three weeks to discuss a refund or exchange but he seems to have disappeared with my $38,000!! DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS CROOKED DISHONEST GUY. You are better off going to a Mecum auction and buying a great car at a fraction of what he wants for his JUNK YARD CARS!! Most of the 19 google reviews must have be written by Ron or his business partner because there are some 4 and 5 star reviews. NO WAY!!! read more

This guy is a total crook and a liar. I bought a 1969 C10 pickup truck that according to the add"Nothing was spared on making this truck one of the best looking and driving Chevy trucks in the country." We flew to Tennessee and looked at the truck and it appeared to be solid....not being a mechanic boy was I in for a surprise. I drove the truck home to Florida where it promptly died in my driveway. It was said to have "very cold factory air." We tried the ac about an hour after leavingTennessee and it did NOT blow cold. Come to find out the compressor was burned up and most of the rest of the ac components were broken. The ignition switch went out and the wiring under the dash was twisted together to make connections. The two lower drive gears weren't usable because the linkage hits the exhaust when you shift down. The transmission leaks badly. The doors don't lock and need new latches,the window actuator is shot on the drivers side. The backup lights come on in neutral, the truck starts in gear, the carburetor had to be rebuilt, the gas tank was full of silt. The hood bumpers and cowl seal are missing. The list goes on and on. Ron's reply to my complaint was I should expect that for $26,500 and that it wasn't a $45,000 truck where I guess he thinks quality and reliability should begin. He said I could bring the truck back and his mechanic, the one that checked the truck out to begin with and said it was good to go, would repair it. It DOESN'T RUN and I don't have $1500 to have it towed back to Tennessee, the money for a plane ticket to pick it up, the gas money to drive it home again, or the time off work to do any of this. I told him to come get the truck, give me my money back and I'd eat the repair costs that I've charged so far, but of course I got no reply. He's apparently a rich guy out of touch with what $26,500 should buy you. It's a truck not a Ferrari. So now I'm $2500 deep on a credit card because I spent all the money I had on this piece of junk and it still isn't running. Thanks Ron for screwing me over and stealing my hard earned money. Don't buy in to what Sam B and Tracy B. are saying below because they SELL cars for Ron and they're the ones who sold me this truck!
