I had an amazing experience renting this vehicle. The car was exactly as described, clean, well-maintained, and performed perfectly throughout my trip. Barry was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the entire rental process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Communication was excellent, pickup and drop-off were easy, and everything worked flawlessly. I would absolutely rent from Barry again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and outstanding host. Thank you for a great experience!
What an experience! Barry was an absolute legend. Super easy to deal with, fantastic communication and made the whole process seamless from start to finish. As an Australian, I've always dreamed of driving a classic Mustang through California and this car made that dream a reality. She was absolutely stunning and an absolute joy to drive. What really surprised me was how smooth and comfortable she felt on the road. Barry has clearly put a huge amount of care and work into the car and it shows. I've driven plenty of old classics and Land Cruisers back home in Australia that felt far more temperamental, but this Mustang drove beautifully and inspired confidence from the moment I got behind the wheel. Cruising the Californian highways with the windows down was honestly one of the highlights of my trip. Thanks Barry for sharing such a special car and helping create a memory I'll never forget.
Everything was perfect. This is a real driver’s car. What an amazing ride, a neck breaker. Would highly recommend this rental. Host was great, always answered quickly and helped with any questions. If i have the opportunity to rent again i definitely will!
What an incredible experience. My mom had a ‘69 Mustang when she was growing up, so I knew I had to rent this when she came down to visit. We cruised along the Pacific Coast Highway and had plenty of people stopping us along the way to say “cool car!” Barry was awesome and I would definitely recommend renting this beautiful ride to anyone looking for a unique experience.
Barry was super accommodating and helpful, he made our trip unforgettable

Drove the car up the Californian coast from LA to Carmel by the Sea and back. The car drove like a treat and Barry was an amazing host who was super responsive for any questions we had. Couldn't recommend renting from Barry or this car more! Top notch stuff! Be prepared for all the fan fare you'll get while driving it ;)
Very easy pickup and drop off. Was a perfect way to end our wedding. Would definitely rent through them again.
An amazing experience to explore LA in a classic car I always rent a car but this was something else, not only I got to see loads more but driving through the heels in this classic felt like a scene of a Hollywood movie. Barry was also very nice and accommodating which made this very smooth
