Classic Cars of Lake Ozark

Classic Cars of Lake Ozark LLC is a Corvette-focused dealership in Kaiser, Missouri. Its website calls it a "C1 and C2 Corvette specialist," and the inventory page lists Corvettes from the 1960s and early 1970s. The business is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who runs it

The BBB profile names Daryl Ploeg as owner and shows a business start date of January 2012, with the BBB file opened in 2013. A start date in a business record is not necessarily the day the dealership began selling cars, so we do not give a founding year. Its site says the shop hand picks its Corvettes, services its own cars, and is "a hands on shop" doing ground-up restorations through to routine service.

What it sells

The inventory page lists the cars with prices. When we checked it showed a 1965 Corvette L79 327/350 at $96,500, a 1971 Corvette listed as 3x NCRS Top Flight at $54,900, 1967 Corvettes at $79,958, $85,900 and $96,500, and a 1966 Corvette 427/425 at $106,900. A 1964 Corvette was marked sold and a 1965 Corvette was marked deal pending. The listed prices ran from about $55,000 to $107,000.

Those descriptions, including claims such as NCRS awards, are the seller's own, and a buyer should ask for documentation. Ask to see judging sheets, tank stickers and build records where they exist.

Buying from Classic Cars of Lake Ozark

Because these are high-value cars, a Corvette-savvy inspector or NCRS judge is worth hiring before you commit, particularly for a buyer at a distance.
