How to Sell a Classic Car?

[Mazderati]

Auctions are not a hands-off selling platform. The seller still needs to provide an informational package, documentation, pictures, and transport for the car. Many auctions require the seller be present during auction and most charge to run a car through auction regardless of sale or not.

Selling a car isn't rocket science. Clean the car, take good pictures, advertise at a reasonable price, and wait. Get a Marti report. If it's as nice as described, it will sell. Don't rule out the free sites.

Hemmings = $100-170
Autotrader Classics = $50-150
BAT = $100
eBay = $125
Craigslist = free
KSL = free
Mustang clubs = free

Drive it around rich neighborhoods where you see classic cars around. It will generate a lot of interest.
Or bring it to super wealthy golf courses and you'll get all kinds of action.
Don't act like you're trying to sell it and perhaps your sister and brother inlaw will hook themselves a winner.

Jesus Christ Kenny. This is your advice. Drive the car to a country club and just hang out

Drive it around rich neighborhoods ??? Hope somebody flags you down?

Be cool to have Bobby sell it. TR the whole thing with photo and vid.

Put Bobby and sfb in video. That would sell.

[Game Over]

^ I agree. I’d be cool to read/see

[cmcrawfo]

I am rooting for Bobby to broker this deal.

[Skidog]

Bobby and I don't always see eye to eye, but I'd say for sure, if he's willing, let him do the deal. He is a mag ya know.

Would be cool to have a Mag sell/broker the deal. Bobby seems like the go-to option. Looking forward to seeing what comes of this.

Don't know it, but it is worth looking into.

That’s a really great story, thanks for sharing.

[ötzi]

Kind of a cliffhanger though. David got covid and Buzz was gonna check on him. wtf happened?

[BmillsSkier]

Yeah I noticed that too but then figured the car was the story and the friends were there as background color

[ötzi]

I suppose you don't care about the two perfectly good trees they cut down either.

[BmillsSkier]

They were not sympathetic characters.

[ötzi]

It was time for them to leave.

[BmillsSkier]

I see what you did there.

Much like Dante in Clerks, they weren’t even supposed to be there.

[heckacali]

If this was just about any other muscle car than a ford, I'd be possibly interested.

Camaro, Chevelle, nova, charger, challenger, super bee, gto, 442, etc

Restoration of barn finds requires tons of money. I started a '63 Vette convertible and gave up, it ate money. Traded it for a like new 1999 coupe and never looked back.

[Marshall Tucker]

My college buddy's dad was a fan, he bought my college buddy a '67 convert black top/interior think it was the straight 6 3 speed. Damn that was a sweet ride with many fun memories. Manual top was a PITA though. that was about 1983-1984 and I'm sure its long gone, had a birtha skull & roses on the bumper wait what were we talkin about?

Does anyone read the fucking dates on threads anymore.

There is no question mark there on purpose.

[ötzi]

Hey I do, I quoted 2 guys who don't post any more, . I thought it was obvious it was an old thread. But in general, no. No, they don't.

I mean, the thread was resurrected by someone who clearly must've been using the search function... So, ya know, at least someone was using the search function.
