I recently Purchased an amazingly beautiful 1963 Ford Falcon Convertible from Carroll Street Auto and I cannot be happier. Roland and Jeff provided so much information regarding the history and condition of the vehicle, which is pristine, and answered every possible question I had and believe me, I ask a lot of questions. I live in California so I had a private pre-inspection prior to flying to New Hampshire and the inspector said it was one of the nicest, well maintained cars he has ever seen. You can tell that classic cars are not just a business for them, but a passion. They had so many amazing cars in perfect condition that It was like visiting a classic car museum. They were so patient and really went above and beyond to make the process of purchasing and transporting the car to California, painless. What has been helpful as well is their availability to provide any assistance or answer any questions I had after the purchase. I know this isn't necessarily what some people care or think about when buying a car, but one of the things I love about classic cars is the story behind the car. This car has a sweet story and they have put me in contact with the previous owner, who's husband loved this car and recently passed away. I will hopefully meet her face to face and plan to take her for a ride when she comes to California. There are several classic car dealers in California, that would be more convenient for me to go but I would only trust Roland and Jeff if I wanted to buy another classic car. BTW-I feel so strongly about them that I am writing review , which I never do. Good luck with your classic car search and if you buy a car from them, you will not regret it.

A 5 Star Review Story,When I get together with friends around my own age and we are reminiscing about the past we talk about our firsts; our first love, favorite teacher, places we have lived, and our first car. After getting my driver s license at 15 �, I started saving for a car. With $500 ($400 + new tires) I bought a used British roadster, a 1964 Sunbeam Alpine. I drove the car for 5 years, did my own maintenance and repairs, selling it when I moved to the harsher New England climate.Now 60 years later, I found (it really found me) a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine, for sale here in New Hampshire at Carroll Street Auto. I wanted a vehicle that I could drive right away without the need to restore the car, a reconditioning or major overhaul. The Beamer (Sunbeams were the original Beamers) was impeccably maintained and came with the original manuals/documentation, and a professional binder prepared by Jill at Carroll Street, containing owner history and maintenance records. Viewing and inspecting the car, the test drive and completing the sale took 3 days. Roland and Jill made this process the most pleasant and easiest in my life buying cars. 5 Stars.George SichelstielBow, New Hampshire

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing a car from Carroll Street Auto.Roland was a pleasure to deal with as was the rest of the crew (Jill and Jeff).I purchased a 1969 L89 Corvette (only 390 made) project car and the car was actually better than I expected.Roland was always there to answer my questions and provided me with tons of pictures and videos.I ve bought a lot of cars over the years, and sometimes things can go sideways, especially when buying site unseen like I often do.This was by far the smoothest, best experience I ve had when buying a classic car. Roland was really great to deal with and I really appreciated all the extra work he did for me (that he didn t have to do).Very easy for me to rate this transaction a 10/10Thanks again Roland and crew for everything! I ll keep you up to date on the restoration!Joe Westbury

I'm in LOVE with my new 1957 Chevy Bel Air Townsman 4 door wagon! Carroll Street Auto ought to rename their dealership to Integrity Classic Cars. The quality of their cars is outstanding and their prices are fair. Their service (particularly Jeff) is stellar. Jeff answered my many questions, even after hours, and set up shipment of the car on a weekend. He continued to be of service even after I received the car and had a couple of questions regarding maintenance and sourcing items. I bought this car sight unseen and had it shipped 2,000+ miles to my home. It's simply stellar. Carroll Street Auto is TOP NOTCH! A couple pics of the next generation of memories with this car!

Roland Cassidy and the Carroll St Auto Team are outstanding!!I have been searching for my perfect C4 Corvette for the past year. Lo and behold, I found a 1995 Doug Rippie Motorsports DRM450 at Carroll St Auto.I was apprehensive about buying a classic car from all the way across the country (let s be honest, there are scammers and phonies out there). But Roland Cassidy and Jill Holland communicated with me every step of the way. Not only did they ensure that my investment was protected, but they gave me peace of mind. That s something you can t put a price tag on, and you never want to compromise when it comes to the integrity of your auto-broker.I wouldn t hesitate to do business with Roland Cassidy again, and I highly recommend you give him your business - you won t be disappointed.Thank you, Roland. You are awesome!Dan S.Colorado Springs, CO

I was impressed with everyone I dealt with at the dealership. My salesman Jeff R. was professional and courteous throughout the transaction. From scheduling the first appointment to view and test drive the Car until the paperwork was finalized. He answered any and every question I asked quickly and thoroughly. The owner Roland offered trailer delivery which made getting the Corvette home much easier. I strongly endorse this dealership.

Just took delivery of a 1954 Corvette purchased sight-unseen from Carroll Street Auto. Not only was the car better than described, Roland took the time to do a final "go through" of the vehicle prior to shipping and addressed a couple minor issues he discovered. Roland and his team were always easy to contact, responding quickly to any questions I had. I've done several long-distance purchases in the past but none better than Carroll Street Auto. Highly RecommendedSteve RiceHarrison, Idaho

We had a great experience purchasing our classic Corvette from Carroll Street Auto. Very professional and honest from start to finish. The owner went the extra mile, literally, to deliver the car to us. I highly recommend them for your next classic auto purchase!

I will tell you to go and inspect car personally and do not take their word. I just purchased a 1970 road runner a few weeks ago. I received car valve covers were leaking all over the manifolds. I started home and battery died due to bad voltage regulator. I replaced gaskets and regulator took it out on road and the rear drive shaft universal straps snapped off and drive shaft fell out the car and tore rear seal on transmission and the force of motor torque with no drive shaft the flex fan hit the radiator somehow and now it was leaking. I had to have car towed and replaced rear u joint and installed new u bolt heavy thru hole straps. I installed new radiator started checking everything. I was told it was original color found out car was red not burnt orange. the stereo only had one wire ran to right rear speaker. I opened glove box and door was held on by a metal wire. Jacked up car found left front wheel no brake adjustment at all right was good all original spark plugs. I have had it several weeks and still have not decided what to do about rear main. These people did absolutely nothing for the amount they charged. IF you are expecting to get in and drive I would say stay away and spend your hard earned money somewhere else. I called and the answer was we don,t drive them but if you are showing pictures in a garage on lift running I think most are assuming it has been tuned and at least oil change and all worked

I bought a 72 Chevy Nova from here. I paid the full asking price based on the advert and description given to me be Jeff Riggs over the phone. I was unable to make the journey to the USA from the UK to view the car because of the Covid restrictions. There's not enough room here to highlight all of the faults with the car. The mileage was stated as 16,000 this was actually the trip meter reading, the actual mileage is over 24,000. Six months on and still have not been able to drive this car a single mile due to it not being roadworthy. If you're thinking about buying from here I strongly urge you to go and view,do not trust a word that you're being told. The after sales is non existent, when they have your money you're on your own. I can prove everything I've said here.

I bought 65 Mustang Fastback from Carroll Street and Roland and his team were nothing more than profession in all my dealings. Considering I was making a purchase from Australia, I had some concerns over the logistics and actually buying a car in good condition. Roland's approach, willingness to answer all my questions, respond to my inspection requests and willingness to resolve all my concerns really assisted in easing my concerns. He is a hard man to get a hold of but overall very positive experience.Very happy with the car and thanks for everything Roland.

DOES NOT WORK ON FUEL INJECTION. IS NOT CLEAR WITH INTENTIONS OR ISSUES. WILL TRY TO FIND ANY WAY OUT OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY.I called about having work done to my 1991 corvette. They were confused with what I was asking but eventually said they'd do the work. after $1300 for intake gaskets due to a long process caused by aftermarket parts I had to get back in there myself and do injectors. That's when I realized that the intake gaskets were not the ones I mentioned to be installed, some hardware was incorrect, and some hardware that was mounting brackets for the serpentine belt were loose.Trying to contact Roland about these issues was frustrating to say the least. He did not want to accept any responsibility of time spent, incorrect parts and potential safety hazard of loose bolts on serpentine belt components. Eventually had to show up in person to get even a fraction of money back and that's when I was told that they don't understand fuel injection at all and did not want to work on the car. I was VERY upset to hear about this AFTER already having a botched job.After dealing with this I was ready to cut my losses with this deal and potentially try to help with another car they had on the lot, HOWEVER within a week of me visiting I got a call from Roland himself trying to get me to dump $4K on another 1991 Corvette with a blown motor. The cherry on top is when a buddy showed me an ad for the corvette Roland offered me for $4K for the same price.Carroll Street Auto are nice people, but Roland is out of his mind. I went there seeing they are a classic car dealership hoping to find a good mechanic for my corvette, But unfortunately I found someone who isn't looking to keep customers around. Good thing is I have found more patience and skill to work on my Corvette by myself (redid the $1300 intake job)
