What is the best way to get top dollar for a classic car?
31st December 2008
I have a restored 1971 240-Z in my garage. There is easily over $25k invested into this car over the years, I don’t expect to get all that back if I sell it, but I don’t want to give it away either. How can I get top dollar for my car?

Are you ready for the biggest re-distribution of wealth in American history?
29th December 2008
600 billion+ SO FAR of the “stimulus” package is WASTE !
275 billion to “refundable” tax credits (welfare checks for those who don’t pay ANY taxes)
150 billion to explore “alternative” energy
100 billion to expand Medicaid
20 billion “nutritional assistance for middle income” Americans (this is an expansion of food stamps to 400% of the poverty line)
6.2 billion to “weatherize” low income homes
4.2 billion to ACORN (to finance their next election with our money)
3.1 billion for parks and fisheries improvements
2.5 billion for “upgrades” and energy efficiency for government run housing
2.7 billion for “rural water disposal” (this is to research how to get rural homes off septic and on to sewer…really, it is)
1.9 billion to the DOE to do …sit down…”basic research on physical sciences”!
1.5 billion to build community health centers
1 billion to preserve 500 at risk salmon in CA
850 million Wildfire prevention in California
600 million to NASA for “global warming” research
600 million “to help doctors, nurses and dentists” “prepare” for universal health care
650 million for digital TV coupons
400 million “upkeep upgrades” of “national treasures” like National Malland Smithsonian
400 million NOAA to study habitat restoration
276 million State Department computer upgrades
209 million maintenance upgrades to USDA research building
200 million “study” electric cars for use in government
50 million National Endowment for the Arts
60 million Mob museum in Vegas
44 million Repair to AG HQ in DC
Howard W – thats EXACTLY the point. Only about 5% of this bill will create jobs. The rest is just government hand outs.

real “infrastructure”)

I want to buy my fiance a new engine for his 1972 Super beetle that he is restoring?
26th December 2008
How do I go about doing this? I need to know what kind of engine is the best to buy and where to look for the best price. Any help? He loves this car and I want to help make it the best it can be but we have to stretch our dollar if you know what I mean.

Better off buying classic car than new?
25th December 2008
Would i be better off buying a classic restored car than a new one? Wouldn’t the price go up instead of down?

I believe it came on the discovery channel about 6 years ago. Thanks.

What are the laws regarding seat belts in classic cars? I mean if you get an old car that originally didn’t have seat belts, restore it, drive it around, do you need to install modern seat belts by law?

restore or buy new?
24th December 2008
asked this question and got mixed reviews last time so i will ask it again. I will be graduating from college in december of 08 and already have a job lined up after school, i will be a cpa. My question is do i restore my 1994 300zx convertable, which is one of about 2000 left or buy a new 350z. I would spend about 25-30 thousand on the restoration. I plan on doing a simple ground effects package, nothing gotti. Rebuilding the motor with new twin turbo system wanting about 375 to the wheels. Add new interior, seats dash, plastic panels, carpet. I want to also add a new top. After that u want to upgrade transmission add a few performance parts to the amount of 2k and then new rims and tires, nothing gotti though. I want a tuner look, but with class, so i want to just make subtle changes to the body. Then to top it off do about a 6-7 k paint job. So so i buy a 30k very common car and add twin turbo or redo a rare care 100%. Either way i will have a cool car.
