It is an independent business and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

History and ownership

The Better Business Bureau profile lists the company as started in 1953 and incorporated the same year, with a change of ownership in 1991. The BBB names Christopher Cantalini as president. Those are self-reported dates, so treat the history as the company's account of itself. The website does not publish a founding story.

How the business works

This is a dealer that mostly sells cars it owns. The site has a "Sell Your Car" form headed "We Buy Classic Cars" for owners who want an offer, and a Car Finder page where buyers can sign up to be notified when a matching vehicle arrives. We found no consignment page, so do not assume the company takes cars on consignment. The BBB lists it in categories including motorcycle, used car, RV, boat and truck dealers.

What it sells

The mix includes classics and late-model performance cars. On the day we checked, the site listed a 1929 Ford Model A at $14,990, a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass at $16,990, a 2014 Ford Mustang GT at $29,995, a 2011 Ford Shelby GT500 at $49,995, a 2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody at $54,995 and a 2023 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Jailbreak at $69,995. The inventory runs over three pages. The company's ClassicCars.com page showed 29 vehicles, including a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible at $89,990, a 1963 Ford Galaxie 500 at $34,990 and a 1974 Chevrolet Monte Carlo at $24,990.

The site also has a sold-inventory section that runs to 53 pages.

Reputation

The BBB gives Mutual Enterprises an A+ rating. The company is not BBB accredited, and the profile was opened in 2009. We did not find a count of customer reviews on the dealer's own site. As with any dealer, check the VIN and title yourself, request a walk-around video, and consider an independent inspection.
