Classic Cars and Trucks

[SharkRider]

I love my ride. I love this classic Mustang.

Anyone else own a classic truck or car?

Would love to own a classic car! Thanks for sharing your ride! What motor does this one have in it?

Surfer Bob, nice car. When can I take it for a spin?

My Toyota truck is 30 years old so I guess it is a classic and here is my 32 Ford Coupe and my 50 Mercury coupe.

 

[James]

Did you get the 1950 Mercury from your father or did you buy it yourself?

 

[suncomb1]

I purchased my 32 Ford Coupe in 1985 from a person in Arizonia and purchased the 50 Mercury coupe in 1988 from a person in California. I purchased my 83 Toyota truck new from a dealer in Orlando, Florida. All are show cars, the 32 has been featured in 5 magazines and the Mercury has been featured in 25 Magazines and 6 Movies since 1959 when it was finished.

suncomb, those are some nice cars you have. If you don't mind me asking, how much is the 50 Mercury worth?

 

[suncomb1]

It is a Barris car and the only Mercury custom they ever built with front and rear rolled pans. I have all of the documentation, photos, history, etc. from when the car was built in the Barris shop. It is not for sale but I turned down a $300,000. oo offer from a person in California.

suncomb, when will you be showing it in 2014? I would love to see it at a show in California.

I really would love to see this custom Mercury that can't be seen anywhere else.

My dad has a 1970 AMX. I will try to post a photo of it soon. A really nice car.

I can't wait for summer and some classic car shows.

Where is the best place to find good deals on classic cars? I would love to get a hold of something unique. However, I don't have a lot of money to spend.

Surfer Bob-I live on the Eas Coast but went to UCLA. I do not show my cars out West anymore.

James-There are alot of cars for sale. Go to local shows, cruise nights, etc and look at the cars for sale. Do not buy a car at a show or event but get the owners name and contact information, wait for awhile then call the owner to make arrangements to see the car. Example: A friend of mine saw a car he wanted at a show (owner was asking $28000.00) and I told my friend to wait two weeks and then call the owner. He called the owner, checked out the car and bought the car for $17,500.00 cash.
