500 Classic Auto Sales

500 Classic Auto Sales is a small independent dealer in Knightstown, Indiana, a small town in east central Indiana. It sells restored and project classics, muscle cars and vintage pickups, along with some ordinary used cars. The owner describes the operation on its own site as "just a small town dealer helping others," and the company says it has been selling used cars in Indiana since 2000.

Who they are and how long they have been around

The dealer's home page, as archived in March 2025, says: "I have been selling Used Cars since 2000 in Indiana." The Better Business Bureau, which lists the business under the shorter name "500 Auto Sales," gives a business start date of June 2001 and opened its file in 2007. The two dates differ by a year, so treat "about 25 years" as the safe summary. The dealer's website itself has been archived since 2012, so the business has had an online presence for well over a decade.

How the business works

This is a conventional dealer: the cars on the lot are the dealer's own stock, not consigned vehicles. The company says it sells in Knightstown, online, and on eBay and other sites, and a banner on its website invites visitors to trade in a vehicle. The site also has a car finder request form and a testimonials page. Its inquiry forms list "Driveway Delivery" and "Online Paperwork" as options, which suggests buyers who live far away can complete much of a purchase remotely, though anyone planning to buy that way should confirm the exact process with the dealer first.

What they sell

The inventory leans toward American cars and trucks from the 1950s through the 1970s, often in restored or project condition. A listing page on ClassicCars.com seen in October 2026 showed 12 vehicles, including a 1961 Chevrolet Corvette at $98,500, a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, two 1972 Chevrolet Novas, a 1950 Ford F1 pickup, a 1956 Chevrolet 3100 pickup and a 1966 Ford Mustang. Prices on that page ran from about $7,900 for a 1976 Ford F250 to the Corvette at the top, plus a 1959 Harley-Davidson golf cart at $1,850. The company's site has also carried a wider mix over time. Archived inventory from early 2025 included a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado, a 1968 Dodge Super Bee, a 1968 Chevelle, a 1932 Ford Model B and a 1953 Ford F-100, as well as motorcycles and powersports vehicles.

Buying from 500 Classic Auto Sales

Because the stock changes and several listing sites carry different subsets, check the current price and availability of a specific car directly with the dealer before planning a trip. The company's phone number is on the contact details below, and its website lists a separate number as well, so if one does not connect, try the other. For anyone new to this kind of purchase, our guide to buying from a classic car dealer covers the questions to ask about title, condition and paperwork, and it is worth reading before you commit to a car you have not seen in person. Ask for the VIN, a clear title statement and plenty of photos, and consider paying for an independent inspection on any car bought at a distance.

Reputation

The BBB profile rates the business A+, notes that it is not BBB accredited, and shows no complaints in the past three years and none on record, with no customer reviews posted on BBB itself. Review aggregator Birdeye showed an overall rating of 4.3 stars across 40 reviews at the time of research, drawn from Google and CarGurus, although the most recent review on that page was several years old. These figures come from third-party pages and can change, and the company's own statement that it has "a GREAT eBay rating" was not independently checked. As with any dealer, judge the specific car and the paperwork rather than the star rating alone.
