Wow, five, I mean count ’em: FIVE portholes – the ultimate Buick! Normally, I don’t care too much for street rods, although I do appreciate the extremely high levels of workmanship with which they’re frequently built. It seems to me that a lot of street rods fall into stereotypes: very nice but predictable. This one is way beyond that and it really works. Stunning, imaginative design, and in the pictures it looks elegantly executed. Who would have thought that a ’49 Buick could be transformed into such a compelling sports car.
If it were mine, I would have done two things differently: I’d shorten the length of the trunk, and I’d add some design interest to the door cards. Oh – And how about a metal cover for the continental spare? Superb job. GLWTA!

Joe and ACC have been successful selling numerous vehicles for me with clear communications and no hassles. I recommend them highly.

Have been doing auctions with ACC for years and have sold several cars with them. They go the extra mile and work hard on getting the cars sold.

I am THRILLED with my purchase through ACC Auctions, they helped me get a fantastic deal! The seller was a classic car dealership and made finalizing the process very easy.

I’ve sold a couple cars through ACC Auctions and have experienced very satisfactory results. I find the process to list a car, place bids, and ask questions or make comments extremely simple, which is greatly appreciated by those who didn’t grow up with modern technology. The greatest benefit, though, is having the ability to communicate directly with the person in charge, Joe, and receiving timely responses. I don’t find this easily available with most widely known auction sites.

As a seller with ACC, we have experienced several successes and continue to use the platform. ACC auctions offers a straightforward and efficient platform for both buyers and sellers of classic car enthusiasts. Their online interface makes listing, browsing, and bidding on vehicles convenient, while the selection includes a variety of classics and rare finds. With their professional approach and transparent process, ACC Auctions is a reliable choice for seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.

ACC Auctions has been a wonderful resource for us and our dealership! The process of listing vehicles on ACC Auctions is very simple and the wide exposure has helped us reach more buyers and get more cars sold. There have been times where reserves have not been met, but even after the auction has ended Joe works very hard trying to put deals together that work for both parties. And in many cases, he’s been successful. We can’t say enough about how much he cares about his customers and how hard he works to be a world-class auction site!

I am so happy with my experience buying from ACC. I appreciate the reserve meter which allowed me to plan ahead. The auction did not meet reserve but ACC helped me & the seller reach a very fair deal. The spent 3 days with me and the seller to get it done so everyone was happy! A+ work, unlike any other auction site out there!

Of all the sites I buy from, ACC’s post auction dealings are far the BEST! They are so far ahead of bring a trailer and the others, it’s incredible!!!!

I have sold 26 items (and counting!) on ACC, and I have to say that the ACC site is powerful and easy to work with and Joe is friendly, professional, supportive, and responsive. ACC has been great for my business!! I would highly recommend ACC to anyone looking to sell their vehicle.

I have purchased multiple vehicles through ACC auctions. I have a real passion for classic rare stock performance vehicles. ACC has managed to list some very unique cars, some of which I’ve been fortunate enough to win at auction. I’ve always received extraordinarily punctual high-quality service when I had questions or needed support through a transaction. I’ve even recommended friends marketing vehicles to use ACC auctions to assist them with their transactions. If I recommend them to my friends, I would certainly recommend to anybody!

Joe and his team are always a pleasure to deal with. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns that a seller or buyer would have. Always willing to work with the seller and buyer to make a sale happen. The auction site is easy to navigate and user friendly. I have been dealing with Joe for many years and would highly recommend him and his team.

I love how with ACC, they keep working with the buyer and seller to try to get a deal done even after the live auction ends. They really work hard to make sure both sides end up happy.

We really appreciate how ACC continues to work with both parties even after the live auction has ended. They were able to help us reach a deal with the high bidder 4 days after the auction ended, a deal that was fair for both sides and everyone was happy. Hard working staff at ACC really seemed to care about helping us get the sale completed even though it was not a high dollar sale that would make them much on the buyer’s fee. Will use again and will be recommending to my friends!
