17 Classic Cars (TC Classic Cars LLC)

17 Classic Cars is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida seller of classic, rare and exotic cars, operating from a building on NW 60th Street in the north of the city. Its website says the business has been around "since 2000," and its cars are sold largely through eBay, where the company's seller account dates back to 2001. Public records and the Better Business Bureau show the same address and phone number under the company name TC Classic Cars, LLC, so this profile treats the two names as one business.

Who they are

The company presents itself as a small specialist dealer rather than a large showroom operation. Its site gives 2000 as the starting year, and the footer carries a copyright line running from 2000 to 2024. Florida corporate records list two limited liability companies at 3011 NW 60th St: 17CLASSICCARS, LLC, filed in 2018, and TC Classic Cars LLC, filed in 2019. Both appear as active. The BBB file for TC Classic Cars lists it as a classic car dealer at the same address.

Because the trading name and the legal entity differ, buyers should check which name appears on the bill of sale and title paperwork before paying.

How the business works

17 Classic Cars buys and sells its own stock. The website says plainly that it is interested in buying cars from owners ("Have a car you're interested in selling? We're interested in buying!"), and it makes no mention of consignment. The inventory page on its own site is fed directly from its eBay store, which means the eBay account under the name 17classiccars is the main place where current cars are listed. Some of its cars also appear on Carsforsale.com under the TC Classic Cars name.

The eBay account shows roughly 1,400 items sold and around 800 feedback ratings, which points to a long record of online sales. For a buyer, that also means many deals start as an auction or a Buy It Now listing rather than a walk-in visit, so the usual online buying checks apply.

What they sell

The company describes its focus as "classic, rare and exotic" cars, and the mix is broad. Its eBay storefront lists makes such as MG, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Corvette, Hummer and Auburn Speedster styles, and buyer feedback mentions vehicles as different as a 1965 Ford F100 pickup and a 2016 Bentley. A check of its Carsforsale.com listings in October 2026 showed six vehicles, including:

• a 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle custom restomod at $69,500
• a 1961 Jaguar Mark II at $29,500
• a 1955 Ford Thunderbird Shay replica at $24,500
• a 1961 Triumph TR3 at $18,500

Listings change quickly, so treat these as examples of the range rather than current stock. If you are comparing options across the state, you can also browse classic cars for sale in Florida.

Buying from 17 Classic Cars

Rather than handling every service in house, the company points buyers to named outside partners on its services page:

• Financing: the site says it has agreements with financial institutions and names J.J. Best Banc & Co, a classic car lender, as a financing source.
• Shipping: Matt Lightning Auto Transport for moves within the continental United States, and three Miami and Fort Lauderdale shipping firms for export.
• Inspections: the page refers buyers to Prestigious Euro Cars in Fort Lauderdale for pre-purchase inspections.
• Visiting: it lists the nearby Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood airport and a partner hotel for buyers flying in to see a car.

The company also says it makes sure cars are "properly serviced before delivery." Since most sales run through eBay, read the listing terms closely, ask for the VIN and title status, request a video of the lights and electrics working, and arrange your own inspection before committing. Our guide to buying a classic car from a dealer covers these checks in more detail.

Reputation

The public record is mixed. On eBay, the account's length of service and feedback volume are its strongest points, and published feedback includes buyers who say cars arrived as described and that the seller helped arrange transport. The BBB, however, rates TC Classic Cars, LLC a C+. The business is not BBB accredited, and the profile shows one complaint closed in the last three years and one customer review.

On Google, the business averages 3.3 stars across 11 reviews, according to the review aggregator Birdeye, which adds one review of its own for a total of 12. The most detailed negative review describes poor communication and a car delivered with rear lights, brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights that did not work. That kind of problem is exactly what an independent inspection is meant to catch, and it is worth asking the seller in writing what has been checked before shipping.

Visiting and contact

The business is at 3011 NW 60th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309, and lists (954) 658-2814 as its phone number. The site does not publish opening hours, and because cars are sold mainly online, call ahead to confirm that a specific vehicle is on site before you make the trip.
