Online Classic Car Resources

no comment Posted by

There are plenty of Websites on the Internet selling classic cars but you cannot buy these automobiles from anywhere. A proper research is recommended before buying a car because there is a lot of money involved in the transaction and hence you have to be really careful. A wrong choice and you will regret it for quite some time. A classic car is quite unique as compared to other vehicles in the market. And this is what makes it classic. There are some people who collect these cars just as a hobby. These people usually belong to the up market society and don’t think twice about spending money. However, if you belong to a middle class section of the society, then it is recommended that you look around before buying a car.

There are a few Websites on the Internet which have a good collection of these cars and you can go have a look at them. The toughest part in buying cars is the value the price. There are chances of disagreements between the seller and buyer. The buyer might say that the vehicle is quite old and hence it doesn’t deserve the high price tag. On the other hand, the seller would say that the price is high because it is a vintage product. The price is definitely higher than other cars in the market.

The cost of the classic cars also depends upon the features that it has to offer. A car having a good collection of features will command a higher price. However, there are people who don’t purchase a classic car for driving it; they just want to keep a collection of such vintage automobiles. For such people, it makes no sense in having a look at the features since they are not going to use it much anyways. The cost of a car also depends on what the market wants. If the car has everything that the market is looking for, the price will be high and it will be hard to bring the price down even for someone who is really good at bargaining.  

The one best resource for finding classic cars is the Internet. There are tons of sites on the Internet offering new and old cars for sale. Old cars are usually recommended ahead of new ones since they give excellent value for money and the price is quite low. But you have to check if the car is good. There are people putting their old cars in the market just because they are sick of spending all the money on maintenance and repairs. Again, this might not matter much if you are just going to take the car and add it to your collection for showing off your friends.

Another great way to buy the cars is online auctions. There are plenty of classic cars available for sale at online auctions and you can some of the best deals here. The best thing about online auctions is that you have a chance of negotiating hard so you can save a lot of money this way.

If you don’t find any good classic cars on either the Internet or at the auctions, then you check out the classified section of your local newspapers. You will find some of the best deals here. The best part about this is that you will get to inspect the vehicle physically since the newspaper is local and all the advertisements are related to remote areas. Thus the three best resources for finding good classic cars are Internet, auctions and newspaper classified ads. Make sure you do a lot of research before buying the automobile.

Classic Cars

no comment Posted by

People usually hesitate to buy classic cars because they think that such vehicles boring. However, I have seen a lot of people with a big collection of such old cars. They just collect it as a hobby and don’t really care about the cost. Some of these cars don’t even work properly since they are quite old. There is a healthy demand for cars in the market and irrespective of the vehicles condition. I have some friends who drool on car magazines and they are willing to pay exorbitant sums of money for purchasing these cars. You should know that these cars are a bit different from the current crop. The mechanism is a bit different and hence I would recommend you to take the vehicle out for a test drive to see you can handle it pretty well.

If you are looking for a place to buy such classic cars, I would recommend you to keep your eyes open to any of the cars shows that might take place in your city. There are a few dealers offering cars which are still undergoing repairs. Such cars are costly as compared to the latest products, even if they are old. So you won’t find a middle class man having a vintage car in his collection. These automobiles are bought mostly by the upmarket crowd. The cost of the cars also increase as they get older as the ‘classic’ value increases and hence if you are thinking about buying classic cars, the best time to do it is right now, rather than later.

Remember to negotiate with the dealer when you are buying classic cars. The value of these cars is not fixed and the dealer will slap any price that he wants for the car. The asking price is just the asking price and nothing else. You can easily negotiate hard with the dealer and bring it down. But don’t try to pull down the cost too much because then the dealer might get turned off. Classic cars are held in private possession by the rich people and hence they will hesitate to sell it at a low price.

Classic cars can also be used to invest money. You can buy a vintage vehicle now and then sell it at a higher rate later in the market. Hold the vehicle as long as you can and see the price of the automobile go up gradually. You will make plenty of profit by selling such old cars. You also need to have good patience while selling such cars. Don’t be disappointed if people don’t show up when you first put the advertisement in the local newspaper. There is a lot of interest for such cars and hence there will be plenty of buyers for it. You can also make good money by selling old parts in the market. There is a plenty of demand for it too.

If you hate to keep a lot of money in the bank and if you are looking to mobilize it, invest in classic cars. Do some research on the Internet and find out about the cars which are in good demand in the market.

George Lucas’ American Graffiti (1973): Best Classic Car Movie Ever

no comment Posted by

American Graffiti (1973) Japanese poster with Paul Le Mat’s 1932 Ford deuce coupe

George Lucas Directs American Graffiti

American Graffiti was the brainchild of George Lucas, who was born in Modesto, California, on May 14, 1944. A racing-car enthusiast in high school, Lucas went on to drive competitively, later giving up the sport following a car crash in which his lungs were damaged.

American Graffiti was largely autobiographical, recounting Lucas’ carefree days as a teenage cruiser and gearhead in California’s San Joaquin Valley. George Lucas, Gloria Katz and Willard Huyck wrote the screenplay for Universal Pictures, with Lucas also directing. Set in 1962 before drugs, hippies and the big military buildup in Vietnam, it was Lucas’ intention to recapture the innocence of a bygone era through rock ‘n’ roll and the prevailing car culture.

American Graffiti was filmed in the summer of 1972 – ten years after George Lucas’ graduation from Downey High School in Modesto. Made for an economical 7,000, American Graffiti was shot in a scant 29 days in the northern California counties of Marin and Sonoma.

Ronny Howard and Richard Dreyfuss Head American Graffiti Cast

With the exception of Ronny Howard as Steve Bolander, George Lucas cast his upstart movie with a virtual group of unknown actors. Among the principals were Richard Dreyfuss (Curt Henderson), Paul Le Mat (John Milner), Charlie Martin Smith (Terry “The Toad” Fields), Cindy Williams (Laurie Henderson), Candy Clark (Debbie Medway), Mackenzie Phillips (Carol Morrison), Harrison Ford (Bob Falfa), Bo Hopkins (Joe Young), Suzanne Somers (Blonde in T-Bird), Kathy Quinlan (Peg) and Wolfman Jack (Himself).

American Graffiti’s Search for Classic Cars

In order to recreate the era, George Lucas had to acquire the loan of some 300 pre-1962 automobiles. The production company placed ads in local newspapers soliciting the use of vintage cars to be employed in the movie. The response was overwhelming, with over a thousand car owners being interviewed.

American Graffiti features a handful of “starring vehicles,” most of which play a major role in the film. Here’s what to look for:

Paul Le Mat’s 1932 yellow Ford deuce coupe. This is Big John Milner’s vaunted mode of transportation, bearing the license plates THX 138 – in tribute to the 1971 George Lucas sci-fi film THX 1138. The coupe houses a powerful 327 cubic inch Chevy engine.
Harrison Ford’s 1955 midnight black Chevy. A trio of ’55 Chevys were actually used in the movie. One of the cars had originally appeared in the 1971 automotive movie classic Two-Lane Blacktop. American Graffiti employed one of the ’55 Chevys for street scenes, another for interior filming and a third for the crash scene. The hot rod version driven by Harrison Ford housed a 454 cubic inch engine capable of doing a quarter mile in 11 seconds.
Ronny Howard’s 1958 red and white Chevrolet Impala. Steve Bolander’s pride and joy in the film, this car originally housed a 348 cubic inch engine with a three-speed transmission.
Suzanne Somers’ 1956 arctic white Ford Thunderbird. This classic car is the vehicle of choice for the mysterious blonde cruiser who catches the eye of Richard Dreyfuss. The T-Bird’s fussy owner was never far away during filming, constantly attending to his prized possession and instructing Somers what she could and couldn’t do regarding the car.
Bo Hopkins’ 1951 Mercury. Hopkins, along with fellow Pharaohs members Manuel Padilla Jr. and Beau Gentry, cruise the streets in this dark, forbidding monster. The ’51 Merc was later purchased by musician Brian Setzer.
Cindy Williams’ 1958 Edsel. This family car is driven by head cheerleader Laurie Henderson, class of ’63 and the girlfriend of Steve Bolander.
Charlie Martin Smith’s Vespa motor scooter. Terry “The Toad” Fields’ only mode of transportation is this uncool putt-putt, which he later discards after garnering the loan of Steve’s ’58 Impala. Smith actually lost control of the Vespa as seen at the start of the movie.
Curt Henderson’s 1952 blue Citroen. Richard Dreyfuss cavorts in this goofy, compact car – hardly a magnet for hot chicks.
Bobbie Tucker’s 1957 Volkswagen. Bobbie, Curt and his former girlfriend Wendy cruise the streets in this beetle where they encounter Curt’s dream girl in the Ford Thunderbird.

American Graffiti’s Best Car Scenes

American Graffiti takes place during one unforgettable night in 1962. The characters cruise the streets of an unnamed California city as legendary DJ Wolfman Jack hosts a Golden Week-End Radio Show. The car culture comes alive, as witnessed by these memorable scenes:

John Milner Meets Bob Falfa. The two eventual drag-racing opponents finally converge while cruising the streets. Falfa insults Milner, inquiring if the ’32 Ford deuce coupe he’s driving belongs to his mama. Milner counters, calling Falfa’s ’55 Chevy “a field car.” The banter continues, with Falfa making light of Milner’s paint job, terming it “sort of a cross between piss yellow and puke green.”
The 1960 Cadillac Is Creamed. John Milner and Carol Morrison take revenge on a car full of girls, spraying their 1960 Caddy with shaving cream and deflating the tires.
Steve’s Car Is Stolen. Steve entrusts his prized ’58 Impala to Terry. The car is stolen, with Terry eventually finding the vehicle which he then tries to hot wire. The two thugs who pilfered the car confront Terry. “Ah, hi – this is my car,” Terry manages. “What I mean is, somebody stole – I mean I lost my car and I want to thank you two guys…” A fight ensues, with the hapless Terry saved by John Milner.
The Police Car Is Trashed. Threatened by the Pharaohs, a stealth Curt sneaks in and slips a chain under the chassis of a patrol car. The cops are taunted by Curt and the passing Pharaohs and off they go in pursuit, with the chassis staying in the parking lot and the front end skidding out into the street.
John and Carol Visit the Auto Grave Yard. John Milner points out some classic wrecks to Carol, including Freddy Benson’s Corvette and a 1941 Ford, which used to be “the fastest wheels in the valley.”
Drag Race on Paradise Road. John Milner’s ’32 deuce coupe and Bob Falfa’s ’55 Chevy meet in the big showdown at dawn, with Terry flagging the race.
Aerial View of the White T-Bird. As Curt’s plane heads east, spiriting him off to college, he looks down and glimpses the white Thunderbird traversing the countryside.

Classic Car Auctions

no comment Posted by

Choose which auction would have the roadsters you would be interested in by viewing their online catalog which will include pictures and a comprehensive description of the vehicles that will be up for sale on a particular date. Most offer a free of charge viewing period for prospective buyers.

Keep in mind that sale companies usually charge a 10% buyers premium for which they will do as much vetting as possible to ensure that the car is what the sellers says it is, and you need to consider this to determine your maximum bid. Auction companies do a great job of bringing a large number of qualified buyers to view your vehicle in person, online and through television.

The cost for you to assemble an audience of that size would be much higher than the seller’s premium you will be charged for this service. You may be thinking you could sell your vehicle better on your own, and that could be true.

You can attend a sale to view a specific year/make/model only to come across a different year/make/model more suitable for what you are looking that you hadn’t considered before. Just because you have always wanted a particular roadster does not mean you should own it.

The more cars you can investigate by going to an auction, the more likely you are to find a classic vehicle that fits your budget, your skill set for maintaining it, and your dreams for owning one. More often than not, the rare and historic roadsters that are sold at sale will go into to private collections or museums.

A day at a collector car auction can be one of the most educational adventures one can have outside of going to a museum. Each vehicle seems to have a story or history lesson whether it’s about technology, artistry or innovation within the automotive industry.

Many people have partially finished restoration projects hanging around the garage, or a project rotting in the barn. Attending an sale can be a motivator for getting you off your rear and actually doing something about finishing the restoration.

When restoring a classic roadster, you can photograph like models found at the many auction events. These pictures may prove invaluable as you look to them for reference when putting the vehicle back together.

You will also start to realize the care and detail you will need to take in restoring a roadster to concourse levels by the examples you will see at sales. Or if you want your vehicle to be an everyday driver, you can find ideas for smart conversions to make the car more amiable for today’s conditions.

If you are more than the casual hobbyist, and may at some point want to participate in the buying and selling of vehicles, you need to be at an auction for the true insights and education on the health and wealth of the classic roadster market. Too many people make general statements regarding health or decline of collector vehicle values based on sales at recent sales.

Each car will have its own value dependent of the condition, documentation and desirability regardless of what an identical year, make and model sold for, and you can only determine that with a full inspection. The auction itself is often crowded, noisy and bizarre with showmen making their presence felt upon all gathered.

The sellers are nervous and wondering if the roadster will bid up to undreamt of heights or will they be slinking away with a reserve not met. All the emotions get put on display…greed, avarice, joy, fear, surprise, disgust, anger, anticipation and trust.

If you ever plan to buy or sell a vehicle at sale, you need to be prepared for this drama. And most of the large auctions are being televised now and stream live feed on huge screens that surround the auction block knowing that no one wants to look like a penny pincher in front of such a huge audience.

Restoring a Classic Car

no comment Posted by

Classic cars have a strong hold on the car loving community, from a historical point of view. They do say after all that you do not know where you are going until you understand where you have been. In short, this means that you have to take a look at the classics of the past to see how we have come to the cars of the present, and to look into the future at what might be in the pipeline for years to come. Other classic car aficionados take a contrary view, believing that classic cars are to be celebrated for being what they were, and that any considerations of present-day influence are at best barely relevant. Some take the attitude that by picking up an old car at a bargain basement price and putting a little investment in – of time and money – they can turn a profit on a classic. 

Bear in mind if you are planning to do this that it does not always work out that way.

If you buy a classic car with the intention of restoring it, be prepared to make a loss on the deal if you come to sell it. Bear in mind, in fact, that you may not even sell it for anything worth talking about, and that it may be worth viewing it as “your” classic car, as opposed to an investment. 

In a recession, people who have bought a house looking to renovate and remodel it in order to sell for a profit may well find that there are not the conditions to realize that profit, and end up cutting their losses and living there for the meantime at least. You may just end up in a position where that profit-making classic car initiative you had leaves you with a marvellous classic car but little investment potential. 

Think, too, about what it will take to renovate the car.

It will take a lot of space, for one thing. When you take apart a car the component parts take up as much space as the body of the vehicle and more besides. If you take an area the size of one car body plus a second car and a bit of excess, that is ideal. Bear in mind that it may take more time than you thought as well. Sometimes work turns out to be fiddly and time-consuming, and you may find it is even beyond you – so consider getting a pro to do some of the more tricky work. And realize that it is better to do it right than do it quickly. Rarely will you get the chance to do both. Use the right parts and the right equipment for the best results. 

Ideally, you should have a printed picture of the car you intend to end up with, as something to work towards and also as something to illustrate your endeavor should you come to sell the car. A before, during, and after photo montage — as well as an original photograph of the automobile — will serve you well in this respect.

Classic cars-1907 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost!!!!

no comment Posted by

Rolls-Royce, which was founded in Manchester in 1904, was the amalgam of socialite entrepreneur Charles S. Rolls, who’d been selling Panhards and wanted something better, and the aforementioned Mr. Royce, whose previous experience had been with electric cranes.The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost refers both to a car model and to one specific car from that series.

Originally named the “40/50 h.p.” the chassis was originally produced at Royce’s Manchester works moving to Derby in July 1908 and between 1921 and 1926 at Springfield, Massachusetts factories. Chassis no. 60551, registered AX 201, was the car that was originally given the name “Silver Ghost.” Other 40/50 hp cars were also given names but the Silver Ghost title was taken up by the press and soon all 40/50s were called by the name, a fact not officially recognised by Rolls-Royce until 1925 when the Phantom range was launched.

The Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce’s claim of making the “Best car in the world” – a phrase coined not by themselves, but by the prestigious publication ‘Autocar’ in 1907.

The Silver Ghost was renowned for its smooth, quiet running, achieved with a massive, seven-main-bearing crankshaft and stiff crankcase. Its cylinders were cast in two blocks of three, inclusive of heads, which eliminated head gaskets and the chances of their blowing. The specifications included full-pressure lubrication, an electrical system that really worked, and a precision carburetor made with the quality of a Swiss watch. Its reliability, at a time when “horseless carriages” were anything but reliable, was legendary.

21 Classic Pontiacs!

no comment Posted by

So, you think you know your cars now, do you? Well, consider this to be a test of your knowledge of Pontiac history. 21 Pontiacs are featured here: some are current models while others are truly classic in every sense of the word, dating back to the early 1960s. 

 

6000 – Full sized [or almost] front wheel drive sedan of the 1980s.

 

Aztec – Ugly is as ugly does. This crossover vehicle ashamed the Pontiac fleet for two years during the early 00s.

 

Bonneville – Full sized Pontiac sedan excitement retired in 2005 after more than 40 years of service. Part of GM’s massive restructuring and retiring of top model names.

 

Catalina – This model hearkens back to the mid 60s when two door hard tops ruled the day. Discontinued during the late 70s during GM’s “down sizing” shell game days.

 

Fiero – Mid-engine sport two-seater built for Pontiac during the go-go 80s. GM reached into their parts bin and took out Chevette and other components to create this little roadster.

 

Firebird – It goes without saying that this “pony” car is sorely missed. The good news is that it may be back by the time the 2009 model year rolls around.

 

Firefly – Twin to the Geo Metro, the Firefly was Pontiac’s 3 cylinder captive import of the late eighties to mid nineties.

 

G6 – Current compact model in Pontiac’s arsenal available in rakish coupe or sporty sedan.

 

Grand Am – With its 1973 debut, the Grand Am quickly became the division’s mid-range performance car. Retired in 2005 with a host of other Pontiac model names.

 

Grand Prix – Hidden tail lights and a concave rear window marked the Grand Prix’s 1963 debut. The car has survived GM’s model name shake out and today’s car is a mid-sized, front wheel drive sports sedan.

 

GTO – Introduced in 1967, the GTO was a true coupe turned sports car. Eliminated in the 1970s, the GTO is back thanks to GM’s Australian division, Holden. Rear wheel drive and a big V8 too.

 

LeMans – Originally a Tempest model, the LeMans became its own model once the Tempest name was retired in the 1970s. Retired in the mid 1990s after a cheap Korean car was allowed to carry its name. Sheesh!

 

Montana — A minivan for Pontiac, if not for the ages.

 

Parisienne – During the 1980s Pontiac needed a version of the Chevrolet Caprice. This full sized, rear wheel drive sedan filled the bill.

 

Phoenix – Part of GM’s “X cars” of compact import fighting vehicles introduced during 1979 as a 1980 model.

 

Sunbird – Nothing but a rebadged Chevy Cavalier. 

 

Sunfire – Compact coupe retired in 2005 as part of, you guessed, GM’s model restructuring.

 

Sunrunner – Nothing but a rebadged Geo/Chevy Tracker.

 

Tempest – From the early sixties until the early seventies, the term “muscle car” befit this hot coupe. Especially nice as a convertible!

 

Trans Sport – Hideous looking minivan that debuted in the early 1990s. Mercifully replaced years later by the Montana.

 

Vibe – A currently produced compact five door sport wagon; cousin to the Toyota Matrix. 

 

So, there you have it. At least another half dozen models were left out from this time period plus many models that dated back to the division’s founding as part of the Oakland Automobile Company in 1926. Pontiac excitement…have you caught it yet?

Cleaning Classic Car Interior

no comment Posted by

Antique car care is not something to be taken lightly. These fine classic automobiles require a substantial amount of special care in order to retain their worth and appearance. There are certain requirements involved with caring for a classic car, such as the necessity to clean it with specific materials. It is important to know how to properly clean your old car. The interior can be especially delicate, especially if it is original. Maintaining the inside of the car will take time and a meticulous approach. It does not necessarily need the touch of a professional in order to be done right but you need to know what you are doing. 

Most classic cars are not driven on a regular basis. They tend to be stored somewhere safe until it is time to bring them out for an occasion. Plan to detail the interior of your car regularly. Every few months is usually a safe time frame.

If you allow it to sit too long with dust build up and lack of fresh air circulating inside, it can quickly diminish the cleanliness of your car. Neglect will be the first thing to turn your classic beauty into old trash. Do not make the mistake of allowing that to happen. Maintaining one of these cars requires serious commitment. 

Know all of the materials that make up the interior of your car. From leather to various types of plastic, you need to be able to identify them in order to use the proper cleaning materials. When you shop for car care products, ensure that you are using the right items for treating the various materials within your interior. From cloth or leather seats to plastic or metal knobs and dials, the right cleaners will not only clean but also help to reduce the aging of your car’s interior.

Stay away from things that are abrasive in any way. They will become a problem with repetitive use. Protectants designed for use on older cars are best. 

If stains or spills do occur in your antique car, use a spot remover that is gentle on all surfaces. Some of these classic cars have been around for many decades. They become fragile over time and you need to be sensitive to that as you clean. If a stain or spot will not lift easily, do not scrub at it. That will likely do more damage than good. Always use a chamois cloth that is made for vehicles. Other forms could leave scratches or other marks. 

Keep a supply of the cleaners you use where you store your classic car. There is no excuse for avoiding a regular cleaning of it. It takes so much work and dedication to own and restore an antique or classic vehicle. The most important thing it really takes though it commitment. Your old car has seen many days and likely many places unknown to you. Take good care of it so that you can accompany it on the next leg of its journey. You will be glad you did.

Classic Car Rental

no comment Posted by

When it comes to that very special day, everything just simply has to be perfect. Even the smallest accessory can make the slightest difference on a graduation or wedding day. When you are constantly striving to have everything in place before that crucial moment, something as simple as the right car can make it all come together. Classic cars are quickly growing in popularity in terms of rentals for special occasions. Many people are seeking a new look or unique style by choosing one of these cars rather than the classic limousine of the past. A classic car really is a fun and exciting way of making a statement on your big day.

It is not all that difficult to obtain a classic car rental. Many limousine rental agencies also feature a variety of classic cars for your perusal. They are identifying where the demand is at right now and working to supply consumers with what they seek.

It does not matter what you want the classic car rental for. It can be anything from a family reunion to a wedding or celebration of some other kind. Doing an online search will turn up a ton of great results. Always take your time to read through all of the details and compare various companies to one another. Jumping into the first deal that you find may not be the best choice, especially if you are working on a budget.

A car rental can easily and conveniently get your dream car into your hands, even if it is just for a day. Large events and celebrations tend to require a large amount of planning and preparation. As soon as you know the date that you will need the car for, you should go about researching it and making your reservations. Because classic cars are increasing in popularity, you may not be able to find the right one if you wait too late.

It is definitely always a good idea to form some kind of a backup plan. You just never know when something could fall through. And if something unfortunate were to happen with your rental car, you would be glad that you had taken the initiative to plan for that possibility.

Take care to cover insurance details before you sign anything. Certain classic cars may be subject to additional fees or coverage differences that you need to know about upfront. Take a good look at the car before you leave with it. Check for any obvious signs of dirt or damage. You do not want to be held liable for something that you did not do. It seems that most major cities and large towns have enough resources to meet your classic car rental need. Consult with your local rental agency to find the closest source for classic cars near you. Nothing is too good for a day of celebrating a new start in life. Start your classic rental research early so that when the big day comes you can focus on the more important things.
