S & S Classic Cars

S & S Classic Cars, LLC is a Kentucky classic car dealer owned by Steve Ashley, based in Bee Spring in Edmonson County, in the south central part of the state. The Better Business Bureau lists a 1995 start date for the business, and Ashley says on the company website that he has been collecting and selling cars across the U.S. for about 30 years. The company's tagline is "Specializing in Classics, Hot Rods, and Muscle Cars."

How the business works

S & S sells cars it owns, so this is dealer and collector stock rather than a consignment operation. Ashley writes that he is a frequent buyer and seller at the Barrett-Jackson and Mecum muscle car auctions and that his collection is always changing. Prices are not posted on the website's inventory pages, so expect to contact the dealer to learn what a car costs and how a deal would be handled.

What it sells

The inventory is broad and unusually deep in Chevrolet convertibles. The site's current list includes many late 1950s Impala convertibles, several 1957 Bel Air convertibles and early Corvettes from 1958, 1960 and 1963. There is also a strong run of muscle cars: a 1966 Nova SS L79, a 1969 Yenko Camaro, a 1969 COPO Camaro, Chevelle SS models including an LS6 car, a 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429, a 1970 Plymouth Superbird, a 1969 Dodge Daytona, and Challengers and Chargers. Outliers include a 1968 Jaguar E-Type, a 1966 Mercedes-Benz 230SL and a 2006 Lamborghini Gallardo, plus pickups and Blazers. The site shows more than 100 vehicles along with a sold section. Stock changes, so treat any list as a snapshot.

Buying from S & S

The site invites buyers to contact Ashley for more details or photos of any car, and he says he takes time to speak with every interested person. Because many of the cars are rare and valuable, a buyer should get claims about originality, documentation and title in writing and book an independent inspection. Our advice on what to check before you buy covers those steps. Whether the dealer offers financing or arranges shipping was not confirmed for this profile, so ask early.

Reputation

The BBB lists S & S Classic Cars with an A+ rating, although the business is not BBB accredited, and no customer reviews are posted on the BBB page. The company also runs Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages with walkaround videos of its cars. There is no larger body of independent review data to cite here, so a buyer should rely on a car's paperwork, history and inspection results.

Visiting

The contact page gives the address as 79 Cedar Grove Church Road, Bee Spring, KY 42207, with Steve reachable at 270-259-1491. The BBB listing shows a different street address in Bee Spring, so confirm the location by phone before driving out. No business hours were found, which makes an appointment sensible.
