So you're in the market to buy
a classic car? If you're into this hobby
as hardcore as most of us are, there's rarely a time when we are not
looking to buy a classic car. Some cars were born to be classic cars;
others were nudged into the genre of "classic car" long after
they rolled off the assembly line. Today, a "classic" covers a wide swath of
cars: It could mean an antique car or "horseless carriage"; a vintage automobile
from the early 1920s; a classic car with '50s fins & chrome; a street
machine from the 1960s; or a modern-day classic. If it's "collectible,"
it's a classic. Search our classic
car inventory, which includes vintage, antique and muscle cars. If you
have any questions, contact
Joe Carroll.
With the accessibility of data these days, whether it be from auction results,
price guides or from our good friend Bob (everyone knows a Bob...he's the buddy
that knows everything about cars, right down to the factory color code numbers
offered on every Chevrolet built from 1937-1978), there's no big secret on
values anymore. We all know these classic cars are valuable, and we all know
about what something is worth.
Sure, there's ups and downs in the market, just like there is in every market,
but if you are a "omigosh, the sky is falling and all classic cars will be
worth 10% of what they were last year in 6 months" type, or, if you are a "holy
moley, a Chevelle just like this one brought $3 million at Barrett Jackson
last year, so I am going to buy one just like it, and it will be worth $5 million
next year," you probably aren't our ideal customer.
Ready to Buy a Classic Car?
Our ideal classic car customer is a car guy that wants an honestly described,
top notch car, that performs as well as it looks. He doesn't want to spend
a year
looking
for the right car, he doesn't want to spend a year fixing all of the problems
that came with the car after he bought it, and he doesn't want to spend five
years regretting the decision he made to buy the classic car in the first
place. In short, our ideal customer is someone who wants a first-class class
car and a first
class buying experience. That's what Best of Show has to offer, and that's
what keeps most of our customers coming back for their 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th
car (the record right now is 7).
Reasons to Buy a Classic Car from Best of Show Automotive
When you look at our inventory, keep a few
things in mind as you contemplate buying a classic car:
- You don't see all of the classic cars we didn't buy. We spend
$10-15K per month looking at cars we pass on. Bondo buggies, mispresented vehicles,
fake vehicles, restamped vehicles, poorly restored vehicles. You name it...
we see them all. Our staff has some very experienced guys who have been around
cars their entire lives. And, while we aren't perfect, we are VERY picky. The
cars you see in our inventory are the cream of the crop of the thousands of
cars we look at weekly.
- Each of these classic cars has been thoroughly gone through by a team of
guys who are probably overqualified for the work they perform. In fact, the
only
reason
I am able to keep them around is they get to place with an endless stream of
really cool cars. Unlike many of the classic car "dealers" out there, we aren't
simply buying something at an auction, having it delivered to a warehouse,
and reselling the car without even driving it.
- Each of these cars has been gone over by a master body & paint guy. Our cars are cosmetically top-notch, and we rarely get them in that condition.
Now, here's what you've been waiting for: All the reasons why you should consider
