Black Tie Classics

Black Tie Classics is a classic and muscle car dealer in Hammonton, New Jersey. Its About page says "They don't make cars the way they used to so we sell the cars they used to make," and the site lists 49 vehicles. It is an independent dealer and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The About page carries a short note signed John J Bertino and the line "Since 1963 We try and do the best that we can." It does not explain what the 1963 date refers to, so we do not treat it as a founding year for the dealership. BBB lists the business as started on March 1, 2004, again a date supplied to BBB.

How the business works

Black Tie Classics is a dealer selling from its own stock and buying cars through its "Value My Trade" and "Car Finder" pages, which invite customers to offer a car or ask the dealer to locate one. The dealer's pages that we read do not describe consignment, so ask directly if you want to sell. Our guide to selling a classic on consignment explains the terms worth negotiating if you do. The home page says the dealer delivers nationwide.

What is in stock

The cars-for-sale page showed 49 vehicles when we read it, with 24 per page. The classic share is high but not total. Examples from the first page included:

• A 1940 Ford Deluxe, a 1931 Ford Model A and a 1953 Ford Victoria.
• A 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air and a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS.
• A 1971 Pontiac GTO and a 1973 Dodge Challenger.
• A 1957 Cadillac DeVille and a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz.

The list also included some newer vehicles, such as a 2017 Ford Expedition, a 2021 Porsche 911 and a 2005 Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Buying from them

The website offers a loan application page and says the dealer delivers nationwide. We did not see deposit, shipping or inspection terms. To compare prices, browse New Jersey classic cars for sale. Before you travel, ask for the title, VIN and photos of the undercarriage on any car you are considering.

Reputation

BBB has a profile for Black Tie Classics, but the business is not BBB accredited, and we did not read its rating. Look at current reviews yourself and ask for references from past buyers.
