Jim Glass Corvette Specialist

Jim Glass Corvette Specialist, Inc. is a Corvette dealer and shop at 532 Flatbush Road in Kingston, New York, in eastern New York between Albany and New York City. Its website says it has focused exclusively on Corvette sales, parts, service and restoration since 1974. It is an independent business and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who runs it

The contact page invites visitors to call Jim Glass directly, and the company carries his name. The 1974 date comes from the company's own description of when it began focusing on Corvettes, and we have not seen an outside source for it. Outside coverage points to vintage racing: a Sports Car Digest interview from a June 2010 event describes Glass and vintage-racing Corvettes prepared by his shop, and the home page links to a film feature on a 1967 Camaro Trans-Am.

What it sells

According to the inventory page, the shop keeps "twenty to twenty-five Corvettes" in stock, from the vintage 1960s to late models up to 2000. It describes the cars as mostly low mileage, with original paint, good documentation and garage storage. These are the company's own descriptions, and the page we read does not list individual cars or prices, so ask for a current list, photos and documents. The site also mentions a racing division with race cars it currently has. Browse classic Corvettes for sale to compare asking prices from other sellers.

We found no mention of consignment, financing or shipping. Ask about each if you are buying from a distance. Our guide to buying from a classic car dealer covers the paperwork and checks that matter.

Reputation

We found no BBB profile and no verified review counts for the business. Its independent record is mostly in motorsports coverage rather than customer reviews. The website has no dated listings, so we could not confirm which cars are available today. Before you make a trip, call to confirm the car you want is still there, and consider an independent inspection and a VIN and title check on any purchase.
