Do you love speed, building things, and cars? If you do then you might want to get a project car or if you don’t have the expertise to work on a car yourself then you can just buy an already running antique car. There are many places that you can find antique cars online and in the real world. You can even make your own antique car if you want.
One of the first places to look for an antique car is on the Internet. The first place you should look is Craigslist. You can search cars in your city or if you are willing to travel you can search in near by areas. The problem with Craiglist is the selection of antique cars may be limited particularly if you live in a less populated area. If there is a particular model you want you just type it in the search field and you can even put in how much you are willing to pay.
Another good place to look online is google. You can google the car you want for sale or find clubs or groups online that have other antique car enthusiasts who might know about where you can get that car. The chances of finding the antique car you want very depending on its popularity. Ebay motors is a good place to find the car you want but the car may be far away and you have to be the highest bidder to get the car but you should be able to find at least a few if you are looking for a popular car.
There are many good places to look for cars in the real world. One of the first places is to check the local paper. Normally you will find a section that list classic cars. This section will likely have a better selection of classic cars then Craiglist but finding the antique car you want may be hard and take weeks or months of looking. A similar method is using the Pennysaver, they also offer a classic car section but you face the same problems and the selection is smaller because you are dealing with a smaller area they serve normally.
Many gas stations have various papers that you have to buy but they have all kinds of cars that you are looking for. These papers often have pictures some in full color others in black and white. You can get them on a particular area like low riders, mustangs, etc depending on your gas station. Some gas stations will have tons of different papers costing a buck or two. These papers have the greatest selection you are likely to find anywhere except for Ebay.
Salvage car shops are good if you want to build a car from the ground up. If you are interested in making your own car then getting a kit is also a good idea if you do not have the money but do have the time, or if you want to customize the car. You can even make your own antique car many books are available on the subjects as well as clubs and organizations online including the British 100 pound car club which attempts to make antique looking cars for under $200. Making a car from scratch might be difficult to get registered you should check your local laws but making it three wheeled and under a certain weight and it would be a motorcycle which even here in California is not difficult to get registered. Using a kit or a chassis from another car is easier to register the car then working from the ground up.
Another option is to make an electric car. You can either convert an antique car into an electric or make your own electric kit car. It can look like the car you want but be cheaper to charge then to get gas and is more environmentally friendly and easier to take care of.
No matter what you are looking for in an antique car these tips will help you find the car for you.
