About
Red Dirt Classics
A working garage. Not a car lot.
Red Dirt Classics grew out of a lifelong interest in cars, especially classic American cars and Mustangs. It isn't a traditional used-car dealership. It's built around cars I actually find interesting: cars with character, with history, or with something that makes them worth owning.
I appreciate originality, condition and documentation. I also know classic cars aren't perfect. I'd rather tell you plainly what's right with a car and what isn't than dress it up with sales talk.
Over time, Red Dirt Classics will be more than cars for sale: interesting finds, projects, parts, collectibles and stories. The common thread stays the same. A real appreciation for automobiles, and dealing with people straight.
