    BUYER BEWARE. I made the mistake of buying a 72 El Camino from Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa online. I'm pretty sure they had an office-wide belly laugh afterward.Their pictures were of course all slick, shiny, and pretty. They didn't bother to disclose the paint had major orange peel until it was already on a truck headed my way. Then when it got to my house the driver gets it off the trailer and into my driveway. I sign the bill of lading, and he takes off. I proceed to take off in the direction of a car wash and made it all of 150 yards when it dies. I had to have it towed to a garage. They found that the carburetor was junk and completely flooding so badly that the crankcase was full of gas.After a new carb, it was still cutting out and backfiring. They found that the electronic ignition was wired up incorrectly. That had to be fixed.Then I find out that even though it was advertised as having air conditioning, it did not work. So to date I'm out an additional $1300 not to mention upcoming air conditioning work, and I haven't driven it ten miles yet.If you choose to look at one of their cars, do so with a very critical eye. As a matter of fact I would advise you to look elsewhere. I envision all of these guys sitting around in cheap polyester plaid suits.

Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is NOT a BBB Accredited Business.
