Six Point Guide to Buy the Classic Car You Want
Thinking about getting your first classic cars? With thousands of dealers and hundreds of website selling anything models from veteran models to the 1950's Mustangs and Camaros. You will definitely be spoiled for choices. Fact is sometimes we can accidentally make rash purchases in that "rush" of the moment.
1. Wait awhile before purchasing
Unless you happened to be searching for a rare model, there is no rush to jump into the purchase mode as there will be definitely be some options around to check out. Look for the model you want on the internet, in your local car dealer or even the off beaten track garage, get the idea of the options that are available, how much of the price is fair (refer to price guide), whether it is still possible to source for original restoration parts, what kind of restoration work can be expected and of course by getting more knowledgeable often put you in the position to negotiate a better deal. Remember classic cars are something that you want, it is not a necessity, and therefore it is okay if you decide to walk away from a not-so-good deal.
2. Make a check list
Buying a classic car can also be somewhat similar to buying any other second hand car, ascertaining the condition of the car is of paramount importance. Make a check list on what to look out for, ranging from the car body up to its interior, head lights and braking system. To make things easier, you can check out some of the check list that are available from classiccars.about.com or even eBay. Simply copy most of the attributes and add on a few points to consider the sourcing of restoration parts and the work involved.
3. Make sure you get all the documentation
When you are about the make the purchase, request that the seller to hand over a copy of documentation including the car registration, insurances, service history and schedule maintenance. If the car has been restored before, ask the seller to provide details such as photos taken before and after the restoration. Inspect all documents to ensure that they are genuine; make sure the VIN on the documents matches the VIN on the vehicle. Also if you are paying extra dollar on a good condition vintage, check the service history to ascertain that the car is well maintained.
4. Read your custom laws for international purchases
Purchasing any automobiles from out of the country places you with the extra challenges of arranging shipping as well as clearing the customs, not to mention the higher chances of getting scammed. So unless that this is a rare model indeed, it is better to save all the trouble by looking locally first. For those of you looking to import that rare vintage, consider hiring a freight or shipping agent to handle your shipping, most of them would also be able to offer competent advise of declaring customs, all the paperwork as well as providing the amount of duty to be paid. Certain countries require special permits to import foreign cars, therefore consult with your shipping agent first before making a purchase. Also expect that once the car is in the country, you would need to enlist the service of a car agent to arrange the registration and inspection of your classic car before it can be on the road. It is also sometimes possible to negotiate with the seller for a money back guarantee if things are not what it seems, but in most cases the shipping and duty charge cannot be refunded.
5. Check up the seller, seller must be willing to answer question
There are many ways to find information on the seller; firstly sellers must be willing to answer any question regarding the car. When dealing with the seller, be polite but upfront with your questions, such as whether the car has been in an accident before, is there any rust in the structure etc. Any signs of sellers evading the question must sound an alarm for you to be more cautious. If you are buying from auction websites such as eBay, they also offer to extra feature of enabling you to trace the feedback from the seller’s pass customers to ensure that the seller is in good repute.
6. Arrange an actual inspection and test drive if possible
If you are buying locally, insist on physically inspecting and test drive the car. Bring along your mechanic or your friend who has experience in classic car restoration. An expert would be able to alert you to minor defects that are harder to detect as well as providing an estimate on how much the restoration work is going to cost you.

What classic cars are least/most expensive to maintain?
I would imagine it is easier to find parts for 1960s General Motors car than it'd be for a 1960s AMC because GM is still around. I don't know a lot about maintenance of cars, but any classic car I'd get would be worked on by my mechanic. What brands would be easiest to find parts for and hence least expensive to maintain? What brands most rare parts and expensive?
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.
