Looking to buy a classic car? Classifieds are a good place to start but do not make it your only option. There are many owners of classic cars that do not advertise their cars, they just take them to shows and win awards.  These are top of the line cars and very expensive.  But depending on your taste and budget a car show could be an option for you.

The best thing about purchasing a classic car from a car show is you that will know what others think about it by how it places and if there are any discrepancies they will be pointed out at the time of their judging. Most good judges thoroughly go through a car and point out where they take points off.  This is very handy if after your purchase you wish to improve the car and take it to a show. It can also be a source of headaches since every judge sees each car differently.

Unfortunately I have known some judges that are prejudiced against certain makes and models.  Nothing can be done to change their minds but this can be a blessing in disguise. The more critical a judge is the better chances after improvements that the next judge might not be prejudiced and you could win the Best of Show.

So look and be choosy, you will be paying through the nose but what a sweet ride you will have if you buy a classic car at a car show.  For a classic car, classifieds are not the only answer.

We also want to encourage all of you car sellers out there to place your ad here on American Classic Car Sale.  There is no charge for the ad at the time you place it.  The only time you are obligated to pay for the ad is when we sell the car for you.  Then it is only a hundred dollars per car.  Send in your write ups, description and photos and we will make your car visible to millions of possible buyers.

We received the following request and happy to post the announcement here.

Hi.

I was hoping you might be able to post the following Classic Car Show on your website.

Thanks.

There is nothing like taking a ride in your classic car on Sunday and going to one of the Classic Car Shows.   Spring is coming and all the gear heads are getting ready.  If you are like me, my garage is heated and I have worked on my car all winter long. Some repairs were just to make sure it was still right and other parts did need fixing.

Yes this is one mechanical device that gets torn up even if it is not working.  I know the old saying “if it’s not broken don’t fix it” but that does not apply to a classic car. Most are 20 or more years old and the metal will have some fatigue to it. This must be checked.  I know some car collectors build their cars for the show and an occasional Sunday drive, but not me.  I bought and built my classic car to drive and enjoy.

When I get in my other car it just seems wrong.  The doors are so light and the noise and comfort level is just not there.  I do get better gas mileage but it won’t get out of its own way. I guess it is just what one gets used to.

The kids nowadays are amazed at the old cars and the difference between them and the new ones.  You can always tell when a kid has never been in an old car and they have trouble closing the door. I always tell them ”that is made out of real metal”.

I am so glad the classic car shows are still go on. Spring is in the air and I am ready to place my baby in the show.
