Red Line Auto Sports

Red Line Auto Sports, which markets itself as Red Line Muscle Cars, is a family-run classic and muscle car dealer at 21180 US Highway 70 West in Wilson, Oklahoma. The company says it has been owned by Fred and Kim Murfin since 1990 and that it focuses on driver-quality collector cars from the 1960s and 1970s. It sits in the south-central part of the state, roughly between Dallas and Oklahoma City.

History and ownership

According to the dealership's About page, Redline Auto Sports is a family business owned by Fred and Kim Murfin since 1990, and the couple say they personally help customers find a car. Some directories describe the business as a licensed Oklahoma dealer since 1998, so the exact start of its dealer history is not consistent across sources. The company also says it has moved into a newer facility to serve customers better.

How the business works

Red Line buys cars and sells them from its own inventory, so it operates as a traditional dealer rather than a consignment business. Its site separates current inventory from a sold-cars archive, which is a useful way to see what the dealer has handled before. The company says every vehicle is sold as is, where is, with no warranty, and that it inspects cars before listing them but guarantees only that they are used cars. That is common for older collector vehicles, and it makes your own pre-purchase inspection more important. Our guide to what to check before you buy walks through the basics.

What it sells

The dealership describes its stock as fun-to-drive muscle cars that an average working person can afford. Its own wording is candid: a car with a good paint job that probably does not have the original engine, which the company says is fine for buyers who want to replace the car they had in high school. Cars seen in its listings include a 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, a 1966 Ford Mustang and a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. Stock turns over, so check the current inventory.

Buying from Red Line

• Financing: the website offers an online credit application and a loan calculator.
• Sales terms: sold as is with no warranty, per the company.
• Online sales: the company says it is an active eBay seller with a 100% satisfaction rating on that platform, a claim we could not independently check.

Shipping and trade-in policies were not stated on the pages reviewed, so ask before assuming either. For long-distance purchases, request the VIN, title status and a walk-around video, and arrange an independent inspection.

Reputation

The Better Business Bureau lists the company as not accredited but with an A+ rating, and shows a file opened in 2004. Directory pages show a 4.6 star average from 137 reviews on Birdeye. Reviews across sites are not uniformly positive, as is true for most dealers, so read recent feedback and judge the specific car.
