Advice needed from those w/experience selling an antique car online.

May 23, 2005 8:53 AM

I need suggestions for a site to list my neighbor's antique car. He's a nice old fellow and I want to help.

My 70 year-old neighbor and his wife are online. However, neither they nor I have done online selling.
He has a 1920-something Ford in nice condition that he wants to sell. I've got a friend w/ a Nikon D-7 lined-up . However, I'm afraid of steering my neighbors wrong on the choice of site/sites to post their car for sale. Please share your experiences, and thank you.

I had a neighbor who sold a gorgeous old Cord roadster on Hemmings. He didn't actively complain about the process, so I would assume that it went fairly well. Sorry I can't give you any more info than that.

Besides Hemmings there are sites that specialize in Model T and Model A cars ( I assume it's one or the other if its from the '20s). Another A site, and more. They all have classifieds. Value may be disappointing, hotrodders don't need a mechanically nice drivetrain and people who want a stock A or T are dying out. Now if it's a '32 Ford, that's a different story...
PS. Let me know what it is and how much he wants.

Collector car trader has lots of cars for sale. I've never bought or sold there but I like to browse.
