As we have discussed before here on American Classic Car Sale, an ad that reads Corvettes For Sale is one that every American I have ever known has at some time in their life wanted to answer. To buy a Corvette would mean you have attained a certain level of success in life.

Covette Crossed Flags Emblem

The Corvette is like no other car in the world. This American icon will never be converted to a family car. This is if there are any children in the family. The Corvette will also never be any good as a truck. They do have powerful engines, except for the first years, but we won’t mention that. The engines were made to just go fast. They do have torque but not pulling power, or at least not like a truck of comparable engine displacement.

The Corvette will also never be an off road vehicle or a four by four. I can’t even imagine an off road Corvette. The Corvette with its long sleek road hugging body is at its best when going down the road fast. Even without a fancy paint job when a Corvette goes by heads will turn.

I have been in a few and my favorite was a 1963 C2 version with the split rear window. The 247 under the hood never had a problem breaking the wheels loose and heads turned around every corner.

To date General Motors has stopped production of the Oldsmobile, the makers of the 442, and Pontiac the makers of the Firebird, Trans Am and GTO. If Chevrolet or the Corvette ever goes then I will for sure know that the people in charge of GM have lost their minds. Corvettes For Sale are ads every American must answer at least once in their life time.

This 1942 Ford was lovingly rebuilt into a beautiful car that you will want to see for yourself. This car was made into a street rod on a late 1970’s Ford chassis. It is a 302 with 3 Speed Auto.
Power Windows, Power Locks, Dual Exhaust and is a great driver. It is located in Upstate New York.
Price: $ 22,000.

This car is being offered by the seller priced for a quick sale.  The description is as was received from the seller.

“The car is a 427 / 390 HP car
4sp, air, power windows and locks, leather interior.
We have changed the brake master cyl, put new brake lines on car…all new.
New front calipers, I have the originals yet.
I have new chrome big block valve covers, air cleaner and decals, 427 emblems for hood, crossed flags for front and rear of car, and outside door handles.

The stingray emblems are in decent shape yet, the side venting gill chrome is all missing. I have 6 older ones for the car

Need a vacuum pod for the wiper doors.
Needs vacuum work, you can see the headlights are still up.
Side pipes are cracked, they painted them white over the chrome before I bought it.
All new emblems / parts still in boxes.
I found some used cone wheel covers for it last year.  It had the chev baby moons with it for some reason.
Bumpers had been rechromed before I bought it, they are back on the car.
BF Goodrich white letter tires, very good shape, like new, look nice on the car.
2 pictures of car below from when I first bought it 5 years ago.
The car has pretty much been sitting for the last 12 years.
Was repainted before I got it.
Has a couple of small nicks in the paint, 3 – 4.
Around 67,000 miles on car.
Chassis is in good solid shape, was undercoated when new, car came from southern Ohio.
Engine compartment looks … dusty dirty.
I figured for around $5000 … for interior, carpet, exhaust, and a few other things the car would be a very nice driver.

I think it is a nice looking car as is, but with the finishing touches it would be nice enough to show a bit.
Not a Barret Jackson car by any means.”

Good classic car dealers are hard to find. There are many classic cars for sale and many classic car dealers but a good quality car from a reputable dealer is rarer and rarer in the market place today. Some of the establishments I have visited have just reminded me of used car dealers. They just tell the prospective buyer what he wants to hear so he will make a purchase.

I have been told to leave some establishments when making inquires about whether the VIN numbers match the engine and transmission. Some of them even acted insulted because I wanted to check the numbers personally. When I have tried is when I have been asked to leave.
These are places that sell Camaros such as Z28 models or Tempo’s and Hemi’s or GTO’s. To buy an original production muscle car is getting harder and harder. This is due to the time lapse since they were made. The last real production muscle car was produced in 1974. Since this year is 2009, that makes the newest one over 35 years old. That is a lot of time for an engine to give out and the owner to replace it with an economical choice or a rear-end to sheer a pin and need to be replaced. All of this needs to be considered.

Just keep it in mind when you go looking. Ask questions, lots of questions and if you see hesitation or irritation in the face of the salesman, then beware a scam might be protruded on you. You all know that a completely original car with all matching numbers increases the value of a classic car. The seller should point out any known differences and if they do not then perhaps they are the type of person that would try to hide other details from you.

Not all classic car dealers are just used car dealers just a lot of them so buy with caution.
