"Hi Gateway, I received the title and everything is fine, car is registered and turned out to be better than expected. I was a bit apprehensive about buying without seeing the car in person or test driving, but was not disappointed at all, I'm very pleased.
"

"Thank you folks at Gateway, the wait was well worth it. Thanks Brad for all the work. I felt like I was 19 again. By the way, I did get a lot of thumbs up and even pictures taken on my cruise back home. I'll take good care of Big Blue"

"Bob, Just a note expressing my pleasure with dealing with you and your company. The 56 T-Bird I purchased from you was exactly how you described it. I have an extensive collection of cars, and I am reluctant to purchase anything over the phone but, reluctantly, I was unable to view the car prior to purchase. When the car arrived at my home, I was thrilled with the resemblance of the car to your verbal description. Thanks again for your excellent customer service and prompt follow up to my questions and needs."
--Robert, Ft. Lauderdale, FL

"Brad, The Charger arrived yesterday and it was very nice, exactly as you told me. Thanks for the very nice car!"

"Just wanted to let you know I received my 2002 Camaro SS 35th Anniversary last Sunday. It is AWESOME!!! I want to thank you and all of the Gateway gang for working with me through the process, which I found to be incredibly easy. Naturally I had some reservations about buying the car sight-unseen other than via pix, even though it had such low miles. But my reservations were put at ease when I backed it off the transport truck - WOW!!! You might still be able to 'hear' me smiling from ear to ear! Thanks again for all your help!"

"Sal thank you for the wonderful experience at your gateway show room. Aaron was very professional. Your kindness stretched beyond the sale of the car."

"We have received the car which we absolutely love and have been enjoying in the great week of weather we are having. Your description of it was completely accurate, it is in great shape and I know we will get many years of pleasure from it. Thank you for your assistance in making this acquisition possible and for being such an "honest broker" re the transaction, it gave me great confidence in acquiring a vehicle I did not get to see before it turned up "almost" on our doorstep and was exactly as described and anticipated."
--Sean Kelly, New York, NY

"I recently purchased a 1995 Chevy Station Wagon (mild custom) from Gateway Classic Cars in Charlotte, NC. I found the car to be correctly represented and everything they said it to be. What impressed me even more than the initial sale was the willingness of your staff to help me after the sale. The entire staff was eager to go the extra mile! If success is based on willingness and helpfulness they should do a bang-up business in Charlotte!"
--Reggie Baggott, Charleston, SC

"I would like to take this opportunity to commend Gateway Classic Cars on the professional manner in which my car was sold. It sold within the length of the contract. Your staff was professional and courteous. I highly recommend Gateway Classic Cars!"

"I would like to thank you all for all the hard work in making the purchase of my car happen. I got the car and I'm very pleased. I have bought plenty of cars before and haven't been happy after the deal was over. Consider this I live in Washington state and you are located in North Carolina and I never seen the car (only in pictures). It is great to see there are people you can trust in this world. I'm from the South and you all are southern hospitality."

"I received your check this afternoon and just want to say, Thank You for your help. In this time of a very hot classic car market and a lot of unscrupulous classic car dealers it is very refreshing and reassuring to deal with people like you and your fine company, Gateway Classic Cars. I am not a dealer nor a collector. I bought this Cadillac because I always wanted a 60's Cadillac Convertible. I am going to drive it and have fun with it. It was a pleasure doing business with your Company. If I ever get in the market for another classic car I will not hesitate for a minute to do business with you."
--Steve Hales, Redding, CA

"My thanks to Sal and the entire Gateway team for their work in locating, evaluating, completing a transaction and arranging the delivery of my 1954 Corvette. At every step in the process they were informative, responsive and consistently honest and objective in representing the car. Follow up after the sale for delivery and documentation was outstanding. This is a great organization, both in Fairmont City and Charlotte."
--John Zei, Chicago, IL

"Sal, THANK YOU THANK YOU, I was floored and delighted when Donna left a voice mail Saturday saying to bring my title, that you had sold my Cutlass. You got me MORE than I expected to get. This is our second transaction and I rarely deal with anyone with which I am more satisfied, truly a professional operation. It is a pleasure to refer all my car nut friends to you. Thanks again."
--Mark Dieckmann

"I have been very satisfied for that car, Mercury Marquis. Last week we had a Hot Wheels Show here in Finland and we got the 1st prize in Classic Car serie. The car is GREAT!!!! The car is 100% original like Sal said! I dont used an appraiser or inspector because I had a lot of pictures about this car and that was enough for me. The service was great. Everything was like we were agreed. Now I´ll wait for the next car from Gateway Classic Car. I want something special and Sal is going to find it? Yes, I can say that everything was better than welldone! In my opinion You can trust for Gateway Classic Car Company!!!"

"I am such a connoisseur of the Lincoln Continental Mark III that upon seeing stock #2911 on Gateway Classic's website, I consummated a purchase via wire transfer of funds the very next day (without even waiting for a test drive). I booked a one-way flight there three days later, and admired the car for about 45 minutes in person while Charley prepared my paperwork, and the car, for the long drive from East St. Louis back to Washington, DC., my faith and trust in a car that performed even better than it looks may have surprised some, but not me. Thanks Guys on my being so blessed..."

"I would like to express my experience in buying my first car from Sal at Gateway. I bought a Nice ElCamino and the very evening that I brought it home I had the trans. pump go out and it was several months before I could get it repaired, but Sal was good to his word he said he would work with me and when it was done He was there for me."
--Robert Matrisch, Springfield, IL

"...I'm having fun with this car. Thank you for the experience allowing me to come up and get it. Everyone who sees this car turns their heads. It's absolutely awesome...Every car has it's issues and that's just the way getting a classic 36 years old is. You were right and honest the whole time. A buyer has to weight the want vs. the output to decide and buy. I got what I wanted that was definitely not available anywhere in this area (El Paso Desert Southwest Area)."

"Everything received yesterday. I am quite pleased with the whole transaction. Everything you said and did was true. The Car is great and just as represented. Have a great Christmas and a prosperous New Year."

"Thanks Sal, for helping to make my dream come true of owning a 1955 Chevy. It is even more beautiful than you described. My grandkids think it is neat to have their MeMa pick them up from school in the coolest car in town. We are going to have such a good time with this car. Thanks and Have a Merry Christmas."

"I want to take a moment and thank you, Charlie and your entire staff for our recent classic car purchase (1968 Ford Mustang). Everyone was wonderful to work with and always made us feel like their most important customer. This was the first time I have ever taken a chance and buy something this valuable sight unseen. I can't articulate the words, but there is just something about Charlie I trusted, and decided to take a chance. He didn't disappoint me and lived up to the instinct I had, the 1968 Mustang has been a great addition to the family. We entered it in a local car show and received a 2nd place trophy. With a little TLC and work I am sure that it can become a 1st place."

"We purchased our 1972 Mustang convertible from you last year. I must admit we were skeptical to purchase over the net. However, we did some investigation first and found all parties had nothing but good to say about your organization. Your reputation is solid in the industry. So we decided to give you a shot. The car was delivered right to our home and the car was everything you said and more. The pictures didn't do it justice. My wife and I spent this summer as well as last at all the cruise nights and our car has been "the bell of the ball". Thank you for you honesty and solid business practice. We will be watching your website as we plan to purchase another classic soon and it will be through you. Thanks again for everything."
--Jeff and Susan Bowser

"I wanted to let you know the Galaxie is fantastic. There are no major disappointments, as the car was well represented with the pictures on your website and your descriptions.

--Richard Sasser

"Just wanted to say thank you. The Chrysler was delivered, and we are very happy with it. We had to do a complete tune-up on it, but it runs very very nice.We have also located all the parts we need to complete it. Thank you again for such fine service. Your sales staff is great."

"I purchased my '69 Chevrolet Malibu from Gateway Classic Cars. I take my hat off to Sal and Charlie.

I thank you again."
--Jeff Henderson

"Bill & I really appreciate the way you handled the sale of our '49 Ford & our '33 Ford Roadster. We can't believe how quickly they sold & how very easy you are to do business with. Your website is very professional & it showed with the interest in our cars! Everything was handled so efficiently! And we were able to make what we wanted to on each sale! You were so very easy to work with, we will recommend you to anyone who asks, believe me! Thank you SO much for everything!"

"I just wanted to compliment Charlie, John, and Sal. I picked up my dream car today and was very pleased with the whole experience. All were a pleasure to deal with - very professional. I liked the fact that the sales team is not competing with each other. I also liked the attention to detail and patience Charlie showed when we went over the whole car. I am fairly busy and I don't have unlimited hours to search for cars. I think your approach is a great concept."

"I recently purchased a 1969 Corvette from Gateway Classic Cars and I am really pleased with my purchase. At the time I went to drive it home to Oklahoma and I had a small problem and after a call to Sal Akbani it was taken care of promptly. I would recommend to anyone I know who is looking to purchase a classic car to check out your choices first as you have a nice collection to choose from. I was treated fairly and am quite pleased with your prices and with the prompt way my problem was resolved."

"I just recently purchased a '23 T-Bucket from Gateway Classic Cars. I am someone who has never spent more than thirty dollars on-line and was extremely skeptical about such a major purchase. After reading letters like this one and further investigation i trusted my instincts. My car arrived today. It was more than i had expected and much better than the pictures. I spent the entire day showing it off to everyone i knew and some i met along the way. This experience was painless and enjoyable. Thanks to Sal, Charlie, and everyone else at Gateway Classic Cars. My dream for the perfect car has come true."
