I had a great experience and truly recommend Jason to work with. A little over a month ago I bought the '47 Chevy 3100 hot rod they had. I live about 9 hours away so just popping over to WVA was not an option. I'd been watching the '47 for a number of weeks but was struggling with buying a vehicle without actually seeing it. I read tons of reviews on WVA and decided that I still needed to see the vehicle myself as there are no better eyes to use than mine, especially when it came to spending thousands of dollars. I emailed Jason numerous times asking questions about the vehicle. Here's what any consumer needs to know when purchasing from WVA: They are not a restoration shop. They are marketing & selling multiple brands/models including some very unique vehicles. They are not experts in every one, but they will answer questions as best they can. And Jason Did. I can't tell you how many hours I spent before making the drive to Colorado really scrutinizing the pictures and video they posted. I turned the volume way up to listen for engine or body noise. I zoomed in on pictures as much as possible to really see details. I educated myself. When I was able to go see the truck, it was absolutely as pictured in the photos. They did an excellent job disclosing what they knew about the truck even down to the paint chips. The other thing any consumer should do is read all the information on their website. Aside from clearly stating they are not a restoration shop, they tell you about all the issues that could come with buying restored vehicles. From broken frame welds to chips in paint. Meaning investigate as best as possible prior to buying. I test drove the truck when I got there. It met my expectations, although I didn't take it for a very long drive. Once I got it back home, I drove it more and got a feel for it. I discovered it had a very loose U-bolt nut that allowed some serious play in the rear axel when it shifted. I got it into my shop and on jack stands and went through every nut and bolt on the frame to make sure they were solid. But I was prepared because I read every detail on their webpage. Like any other used vehicle there is always something that "could" be done to it. I'm very happy with every bit of my experience with Worldwide Vintage Autos. I would definitely buy from them again...and work with Jason.
