For vintage collectors and car enthusiasts, a classic car is a prized possession that brings with it pride, elegance and a sense of achievement. When an individual therefore, decides to dispose of a classic car, it is usually after in-depth thinking and in most cases it comes as a last resort. It is necessary to adequately prepare the car for sale, in order to attract potential buyers.
The car should be spruced up not only on the outside but also under the hood. Car enthusiasts can usually tell the state of a car by the sound of its engine. Therefore, the care has to be tuned to optimal condition including a full engine service with necessary replacements. However, engine parts should not be replaced unless it is absolutely necessary. The body needs to have any dents repaired, a paint job if necessary and a thorough polish to give the exterior an attractive look. Even the difficult to see areas such as wheel lips, doorsills and rockers call for some touch. The interior is another important area and it should be exclusively detailed for a clean look. The upholstery should be in a clean and good condition. It is important that the car maintains its natural condition without the need for perfumes or car sprays. The trunk and other compartments should be cleared of any unnecessary items and cleaned thoroughly. Cleanliness is generally of utmost importance of which there is no substitute.
After the car is in good condition, it is time to figure out who or where the car is to be sold. One can decide to place an ad in a magazine or newspaper listing the model, make and year of manufacture. If it is a detailed ad, it could include a picture and information about the condition of the car, price and other terms of sale. The wider the reach of the publication, the more likely one is to get a buyer. A good place to network with potential buyers is at a car show for classic cars where likely buyers come to satisfy their taste for vintage vehicles. While there, one can network and even hand out flyers with the car’s details to a large number of people. It is important to interact with individuals who have shown a liking to similar models as they are likely to add to their collection.
The internet provides a good platform to advertise and meet with potential purchasers. The web is abounding with sites for vintage enthusiasts and members interact through chat rooms and live streaming. It is possible to upload photos of the car and details on specific sites which offers an instant world wide market base. Car clubs are also a good option where a number of individuals with he same interests come together, to socialize, exchange expertise and transact. One could even consider selling the car in parts. It sometimes fetches a higher price than when sold in working condition. Generally, when selling a classic car, ensure it is groomed and well maintained to attract the buyer.

Is it more awesome to ride in a Ferrari or drive a Lotus?
Posted by: Brad Lithium / Category: Other - Car MakesOkay so my friend’s girlfriend’s dad has a Ferrari Spyder 430 and my friend has rode in it. My friend has a Lotus Elise and if I ask him I could drive it any time I like with him in the car. The friend with the girlfriend is the same age as me (8th grade) and the friend with the Lotus is a sophomore in high school. I just need answers to settle a debate.

Is there any way for me to buy a concept car?
Posted by: Brad Lithium / Category: Buying & SellingI love the idea of buying a concept car that’ll turn every head I
drive by, and being the only one in the world to own that car.
drive by, and being the only one in the world to own that car.
Is there any way for me to buy a concept car? If not, what’s the
purpose of making a concept car other than to put them in
shows and find out what the general public would like to see
in mass production cause it seems like all the awesome cars
never make it to production.
The Smoking Tire relives our old high school days by driving around LA, picking up our buddies, and going Go-Karting at Adams Motorsports Park. Is the Civic fun enough to satisfy Matt’s taste for sporting cars, while practical enough to haul around his friends and gear?

Muscle Cars For Sale – How To Locate The Right Classic Cars For You

Muscle Cars For Sale – How To Locate The Right Classic Cars For You
Every classic car lover loves American muscle cars, and they can be illusive when your looking for a certain car, their are people out there who will take advantage of a person who is just learning the muscle car ropes, but I hope to help you with your hunt.
I don’t like to see anybody get taken advantage of when they buy a muscle car, hopefully my experiences will help you to have a good first experience when you buy a classic muscle car, it’s easy to go out looking for your first one, and let the excitement take over.
It’s OK to let the seller know that your excited to buy your muscle car, but you should also let them know that their car is not the last one on earth, don’t let a hard sell ruin your day, if your looking for a certain car, it’s always best to look at quite a few before you make your decision.
Allot of this process will depend on what you plan to do with the car, if you want to restore it to drive around town in, it will be much easier to locate your perfect muscle car, this of course will depend on your knowledge of the restoration process.
If this is to be your first restoration, you’ll need to start with a car that is in good condition, what I mean by good condition is this, look at the body panels on the car, such as the trunk floor, rocker panels, floor boards, and quarter panels.
Ask the seller to put the car on a lift so you can inspect the under side of it, if you notice any of the things that I have mentioned here, it will severely complicate the process of the restoration on the car, so you might want to look farther and find a better car.
Body panels aren’t the only thing that need attention, you should also inspect the engine for leaks around the valve covers, oil pan, and intake manifold, not to mention you should always hear the car run, so be sure to ask the seller to fire it up.
Listen for any strange noises, such as knocks, clicks, bumps, and rattles look for the car to smoke excessively at the tail pipe, beware that if your looking for a cheap car to start with, you will have to forgo being to picky about some of these things.
I will tell you up front, the lees you spend when you buy the car the more you’ll spend to restore it, this is not meant to scare you off, it’s the honest truth on the subject, plan to spend about $10,000 to start with if you want a good project car to start with.
At the end of this article I’ll give you some links to dealers on the web that I have done the research on, and I find them to to be trustworthy to do right on your purchase, now let’s talk a little about the cars that are easier to locate parts for, up front these are the Camaro, and the Mustang.
Most of the parts for either the Camaro, or the mustang are fairly easy to get, unless your dealing with a very rare version of either car, such as a Yenko camaraderie, or a GT350 mustang, these can get pretty hard to locate parts such as engines for them.
I’d love to see you find the right muscle car for you, no matter what you plan to do with it, it’s my only desire to see that you get the car that you want in the end, so both you, and the seller feel like you have gotten a great deal in the end.
You should always check these dealers out through the BBB, and the local chamber of commerce in the area that their located, this is usually a good place to start, these agencies aren’t always the perfect solution either, they both depend a lot on membership of the company in their service.
Take what they tell you with a grain of salt, and do some of your own research on the issue, by talking to past customers, and the owners of the company that you want to deal with, and don’t take no for an answer on your questions.
Ask where the car came from, why it’s for sale, ask about the condition of the car, and let your mechanic, or restoration shop take a look at the car, once you have gotten all of your questions answered, you should be able to do the deal, and feel good abut it.
