Route 66 Classic Cars

Route 66 Classic Cars is a small classic car dealer on East Osage Street in Pacific, Missouri, a river town southwest of St. Louis. The dealer's website does not publish a company history, a founding year or the name of an owner, so this profile sticks to what can be seen on its listings. A contact email on the site carries the name Bessinger, but we could not confirm who runs the business. It is an independent dealer with no connection to Classic Cars Arena.

How the business works

Route 66 Classic Cars sells vehicles from its own inventory. We found no mention of consignment, and the site does not describe financing, shipping, trade-ins or inspection programs. That does not mean those services are unavailable, only that they are not stated, so ask before you assume.

What it sells

The dealer's website recently showed about eleven vehicles, several of them marked as sold. The cars on display were mostly American models from the 1940s to the 1970s, including a 1949 Businessman coupe, a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle, a 1968 Chevrolet Impala and a 1967 Camaro SS. Pickups were part of the mix too, among them a 1970 Chevrolet Stepside and a 1960 Chevrolet pickup. Asking prices on the site ran from $23,500 to $45,900, which places the stock in the middle of the hobby market rather than at the concours end. The same dealer name also appears under RV and motorcycle categories on Autotrader, so inventory may not be limited to cars. Stock changes often, and you can see more through Missouri classic cars for sale.

Buying from Route 66 Classic Cars

With little published about the process, a buyer should lean on the basics. Ask for the title status, VIN and any restoration records, request a walk-around video if you cannot visit, and arrange an independent inspection for anything you plan to ship. Our notes on what to check before you buy cover the questions worth asking a small independent seller.

Reputation

We did not find a Better Business Bureau profile or a set of at least ten reviews for this dealer that we could read directly, so no rating is given here. The dealer is listed on Autotrader Classics. Do not confuse it with Route 66 Chevrolet, an unrelated business in the same town that appears as closed on Yelp.

Visiting and contact

The dealer lists its address as 564 E. Osage St, Pacific, MO 63069, and its phone number as (314) 280-6485. The website does not post business hours, so call before you visit, and confirm that the car you want is still available.
