Buying your dream classic muscle car can be one of the most satisfying bucket list goals. Especially when you go through the grueling restoration process to make it ready for some serious cruising to show it off to the world.
Before you get there you first have to figure what to buy. The research process alone can be overwhelming but fun at the same time. After buying a classic car your first step should be its restoration. So, if you already have the car of your dreams then nothing is better than restoring it but if you are in search of your dream muscle car then you should consider following tips before investing your hard-earned cash on it.
Inspection
If you are searching for a restoration car then instead of kicking its tires you should spend some time to inspect it thoroughly. You should inspect every detail including the interior, exterior, motor, suspension, etc. The inspection should include whether it has some broken or missing parts, if it has rust, seats or lining has tearing marks or the paint has chipped off or not. You should point out immediately if you find some problems. Some of these problems may not be as discouraging as they appear to be at first sight. Though it depends on the condition of the car, but you should not be inclined to buy one even if it has higher mileage than your expectations as there can be some other drawback in that piece. Also, it can be difficult to restore a car that is not used regularly or not maintained properly.
Rarity
Some of the collectors of restoration cars look for the vintage cars that are rare and not available in big numbers. But most of the rare cars can be problematic for the buyer even if he bought it at an auction at a very high price. So, before investing in this rare project you should enquire about the availability of its spare parts so that it can be restored affordably. You should also consider the time and resources you will have to spend while restoring your new classic car.
Passion
Though condition of the classic muscle car is an important factor to consider while buying one but more important is your willingness to restore it. Sometimes classic muscle cars can be restored easily whereas sometimes they cannot be restored even after tons of hours have been invested in the project. But you should first of all be honest enough about your willingness to restore the car you have purchased. You can forget most of the difficulties you are facing while restoring a classic muscle car if you have bought it for your own satisfaction. But if you want to resell it as soon as possible then you will have to be careful on each of its details and the market demand. You should follow a thumb rule while buying a classic muscle car that instead of worrying about how much profit you think you can make, focus on the restoration of the car. This way you can enjoy it for what it was originally built for which is cruising in style, and also putting the pedal to the medal once in a while.
