King Corvettes

King Corvettes is a Dothan, Alabama dealer that concentrates on two kinds of vehicle: classic Chevrolet Corvettes and Jeep CJs. It operates from 3131 Oxmoor Industrial Blvd in the southeast corner of the state. The Better Business Bureau lists a business start date of 2017, and the company's website, which carries a 2024 copyright, is active with current inventory and a long record of past sales.

Corvettes and Jeep CJs

The company says it is "all about" classic Corvettes and Jeep CJs, and its inventory bears that out. A recent look at its inventory page showed about twenty vehicles, most of them Corvettes from roughly 1961 to 1990. They ranged from a 1961 fuel injection car and several 1966 and 1967 convertibles to a 1980 L82, a 1986 Pace Car convertible and a 1990 ZR-1. Jeep CJ7 and CJ8 Scrambler models fill most of the rest, with a 1989 GMC Sierra and a 1990 Wrangler also on the list. For a wider view of the market, see our page of classic Corvettes for sale.

A look at past sales

King Corvettes keeps a Recently Sold page, which is useful context for a buyer. It lists dozens of past vehicles, including early C1 Corvettes from the late 1950s and early 1960s, big-block 1966 and 1972 cars, and a run of 1979 to 1986 CJ5 and CJ7 Jeeps. It also shows an occasional pickup, such as a 1990s Silverado or Sierra. The page does not give prices or dates, so it shows range rather than market value.

How the business works

King Corvettes sells vehicles from its own stock rather than taking cars on consignment. The company says its team can answer questions about each car's history and help new collectors choose, but the website does not describe how it sources or prepares vehicles, so ask about service records, repainting and any non-original parts on a specific car. Our guide on how to buy a classic car explains what to request before sending a deposit.

Financing and shipping

Two services are on the company's own site. It says financing is available through a team that works with buyers on a plan, and it says it can ship vehicles anywhere in the continental United States. Terms, rates, deposits and shipping costs are not published, so request them in writing. For a car you cannot see in person, hire an independent inspector.

Reputation

The BBB lists King Corvettes as not accredited and not rated, with no customer reviews on its BBB page. A few online listings carry short, positive reviews that mention friendly service and help with shipping, but each has too few reviews to give a meaningful rating. The Recently Sold page is the more telling record of regular activity.
