Anyone in the Tampa FL area?

[bigmoparjeff]

I'm trying to find contact info for a certain used car dealership in the Tampa area. Apparently they specialize in older cars, mainly 70's thru 90's, though I don't think it's high end stuff, more like daily driver cars. It seems like they don't like to get involved with long distance sales, and rather have stuff sit on the lot for months instead of dealing with out of state buyers. From what I gather, it's a decent size place with a good number of cars in inventory.

Ring any bells with anyone? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

No, definitely not one of those places. This place only advertises cars on Car Gurus so that they can pre-screen anyone who tries to contact them. There's no dealership info on the listings. You need to contact them through the Car Guru system. I was able to glean some info by reading the customer reviews.

Boy it doesn't ring any bells.

Post a couple ad links, maybe by the background?

This is the best I can do, and I'm not even positive that the picture was taken at the actual dealership. You can see some type of structure of in the distance.

Appears to be a pretty big detail shop. I see bottles of cleaner hanging on the wall and a dryer for drying towels in the upper right of the photo.

Looks like an auction yard

I live in Springhill, real close to Hudson and Tampa if you need me to check some out I can.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to see if you could get a response from the dealer. I'll PM you the info.

Haha I searched the site for 50s to 90s cars and that was the car that caught my eye too.

I'd say you're right. Adesa Tampa.

After some careful comparison, I don't think it's Adesa. The tall structure at Adesa only has four posts, where the one in my picture has six. Can't find the same bay door and walk door positions on the Adesa building. I checked Manheim, and it's not them either. But, it certainly does look like it could be an auto auction facility. I didn't find any obvious puplic auto auction places in the Tampa area. I also took a Google drive up business 41 and didn't spot any car dealerships with a bunch of older cars.

This Estate Wagon needs a set of thin WW tires. The raised lettering is way outta place!
