Purchased 1971 Corvette which is advertised as a nicely restored car. It was supposedly restored in its original 905 Nevada Silver paint and rare factory working air conditioning. The car is ready to show and drive. After several trips on the corvette there were problems with the brakes. We took it to a shop that does restoration. After checking the car over he said we were lucky we didn't get killed. The car was not restored as advertised. The original paint according to the color code stamped in the driver's side door is actually 987 Ontario Orange not Silver. The screws used to restore the car include sheet metal and dry wall screws underneath. The car is all rusted underneath. How would you know the air conditioning works if the blower doesn't work. Matt from Flemings said a wire must have fell off during transit. We sent an email the next day after the car was delivered 11 p.m. and told them the backup lights did not work. It would be embarrassing to show this car as they advertised when the screws are not correct and rusted. The front bumper was replace to hide the rust under it. It isn't the right one and they bent it to try to make it fit and it still didn't fit properly.
Now the car won't even start unless you jump it. I see on the other reports they say you should try to tell them so they can resolve it. They have no interest in resolving anything as they do not reply to the problems we emailed to them. After continuously calling them since they don't like to return your calls, Matt says they will not buy the car back but will trade it for something else they have. Now I really don't think I would trust or even want to go through another restored vehicle from there and we didn't ask for another vehicle. We bought this one because it was my husband's dream car. The problem is we can not safely drive this restored car which is ready to drive and show. The car was misrepresented and not properly advertised so therefore we want them to take the junker back without having to go through court. If they do not take the unsafe, falsely advertised car back then the only other option is to take it to court.

I forgot to include that the car leaks fluids and the seats were not even bolted down. Any of the items they did do were not done right. The seat belts were upside down and we had to reverse them. Facing the rear of the car you can see the daylight on the right side with the top up. They didn't install the top or the part where the tip goes when it is down properly. For $30,000 there is no reason for these kind of errors if you claim your business is to restore cars. I am not sure what kind of enthusiasts you are but I don't think it is cars. You said you drove the car before transporting it so you had to rock back and forth in the seat. Did you not have to stop? You would have to notice the brakes in the rear didn't work. I think we have different definitions as to what a nicely restored car would be. You sell the cars as is but you don't advertise them as they are. You advertise dual exhaust with the correct rectangular chrome tips but you failed to say they are not the right exhausts and forgot to put the brackets to hold them on. One is installed crooked to get it fit. Your email says it is fit, finish and quality of build is superb. I believe my photos show otherwise. Extremely unsatisfied and disappointed customer who would not recommend their worst enemy to Flemings. How can you sell unsafe vehicles and sleep at night.
