classic cars

A:Since some weasel named Ford invented the "assembly line", yes they was. But not before.

A:all of them are appreciating but any dodge, plymouth, especially the chargers, road runners, cuda's, challengers or any R/T models are sky rocketing right now, I figure they all will start losing value after the next 10 yrs. as all the baby boomers will be dying off and thats who's fueling the market on them right now.

A:I have been restoring cars for a long time,and love it.I would start by going to car shows looking how cars are restored and talking to the people who restored them.Also read every old car magazine you can get your hands on.Then buy an old car and get going.

A:i own a repair shop,,and we do a lot of work on some of the old classics ,,a good place to start would be to start going to a lot of car shows,,you,ll get very familiar with a lot of the old ones,and it helps you learn about the ones that are worth restoring,,and the ones that are not,,it really will help though in getting used to being around them,,i started back in the real early 70,s and went from there,,there are a lot of books on the market,but experience is the best way to learn anything,,another thing that will help,,find an old car you can buy to fix,,learn all about it that you can ,,this will be a good teacher,good luck with it,i hope this help,s.

A:Means you're not doing it yourself, have you considered going straight out of the catalogue? Year One offers just about everything for the 69 Camaro through their catalogue, including the entire body made from fiberglass. It's possible to build it up almost entirely without ever having to go to another source or a junk yard. As far as AMC goes, a lot of the driveline parts were interchangeable. You may have a hard time finding body panels, but I don't think it'd be too hard to find much else. Sometimes there are people out there who just hoard one kind of auto. I know of a guy in Wyoming who has nothing but 55-57 Chevy's, but he must have acres of parts and hundreds of cars. Also, in a lot of these older cars, their engines are even more basic than what they are today. No computers, fuel injection, electric transmissions...everything is straightforward and easy to maintain. I know a lot of people who start out that way...learn the basics, then move up. I know in my '70, it took maybe an hour total to pull the drivetrain out...just a few wires and bolts...nothing serious. Just take a look around out there, and take a chance. SOmetimes it only takes one donor car to make your build-up perfect.
