I had inquired about a vehicle and had respectfully requested information on a vehicle which they had marketed as a total restoration.

I was told the pictures speak for themselves therefore I with drew my request and wish them well on selling this unit.

I was surprised by the arrogant reply. If an individual is contemplating a purchase on a restored car, one who have the right to request documents.

This sent up a red flag. There are many businesses that are in this business and have such documentations, this is not one of them.

Before anyone considers a purchase on restored classics I would

Watch out before buying anything. Cars are mostly "restored" to look good to sell quick. Shiny paint and new tires distract from unrestored or broken parts of the car. You might be lucky but with most cars you can expect to spend a good amount of money to restore them to become reliable cars that are safe and fun to drive. It is a few years back when I bought a car there, so I know what I am talking about. Engine blew up soon after the purchase and mechanically the car was in "scary" condition and dangerous to drive. All the things that you won't see in the showroom....Let's hope they improved

Great service from Tom and Lynn! After studying the listing on a 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible for several months, I made the decision to have it thoroughly inspected with the plan to buy it and have it shipped to Houston. The condition of the car was very good - just as described - and I started the process of purchasing it. Tom and Lynn were very responsive throughout the purchase. I would happily do business with ADM again.

I have had my 1967 corvette for a couple of weeks now. I cannot thank the entire ADM team for the guidance and assistance during the buying process. Facetime and emails kept me informed as the car was being prepped. The condition of the car was spot on as your described. I took my the car to my local mechanic, so he could get familiar with it, and they gave it an A+. Convertible in the fall , not many things better!!

I bought a 1968 GTO from ADM and I'm happy with the purchase and the follow up provided to address some mechanical issues with the vehicle that needed to be addressed after it was delivered to me in Carlsbad, CA. Tom, Lynn, and Glen were very helpful throughout the entire process and provided timely follow up and a fair resolution to address unexpected issues with the vehicle. I completely understand a 52 year old vehicle will have some problems that will surface unexpectedly but overall I'm satisfied with the GTO and my experience working with ADM. I highly recommend ADM to anyone looking

Nice selection of cars from what I could see online. Talked over the phone about 2 different cars and was told "there's no room for negotiation" and "we make just the tiniest amount on these cars after expenses so we can't move from our quoted price". A little online searching later I find the exact same 67 Chevelle SS that is currently listed at $59,900 being purchased by ADM at the Mecum Kansas auction at the start of December for $38,500. Wow - that's some markup. Might be time to look at your "expenses" if you need to put $15,000+ on top of a

One of the harder classic cars dealers to work with. They seem very proud of their cars and while they advertise a car for sale, actually told me they didn't want to sell it and didn't need the money! I was surprised by their total lack of tact and customer service. Look elsewhere!

My experience here was AMAZING. Doug and Julie are incredibly nice and the variety of cars they have will leave you breathless. The care they put into their restorations is unbelievable! You could spend hours looking at them all and trying to decide which one you want. One of my most favorite places to visit in Des Moines - hands down!
