I came across this site by accident this morning, I figured I would post it in case anyone is interested in checking it out. It seems to be a site for salvage cars from insurance companies.
There are quite a few Corvettes available.
I read about that burnt 1954 on one of the forums a while back.

The site is: AutoSource.biz/Ad/54_Corvette.htm

Has anyone ever dealt with them before?

autosource and readytofix are sister companies; try googling on "readytofix scam" and be your own judge.

As one poster said about such websites, when's the last time the local used car lot charged you $20 to walk around?

They will sell you a list of where auctions "might" be. Look at the picturers and you'll notice that they are taken all over the place, not from a single salvage yard. These are the insurance company pictures.

Run Forest, run

Never dealt with them, but when I went to register, they wanted a credit card number. That was enough for me.
