It's annoying, I know, but it certainly is effective. The timeand energy doing the research might seem annoying but it'salways worth it in the end. Imagine being 3 clicks from the findof your life. That's the way the classic car market worksonline. I must admit to being a little bit of a classic carenthusiast myself. Furthermore, I must admit to being a diligentresearcher. So, when I'm looking to either buy or examine thecollection of for sale, it's not too tough. So, I'mgoing to give you a couple of hints of where to start looking(hint, it's not the mighty Google. Though, Google is fantasticfor a whole bunch of reasons- a high stock price not being laston the list!).

1) Forums. This tip is generally only known to people in theknow. There are a ton of forums (basically online communitydiscussion boards) for just about any hobby that you can thinkof. This certainly includes classic cars. There are probablydozens, if not hundreds, of classic car forums that you canfind. And the best part is that a lot of these forums allow theforum members to post live links. The links can either link backto their own sites or interesting listings that they've found.Face it: if you search for 'classic car' on Google, a few siteswill pop up in the top 10. And, from what I've seen, they don'tchange much over time. But a forum allows a much greater userbase to post links to places on the internet that probablyaren't the same as the top 10 listings.
2) Use Ebay. But not to shop.
For research. Here's trick. Youdon't have to buy everything you see on Ebay. You can simplysearch Ebay for Classic Car and then look at the listings. Then,do a little extra effort. Visit the dealer's website. Look attheir selection. It could lead you deeper into the world ofclassic cars that you'd ever imagine. Ebay is way more than ashopper's paradise: it's a researcher's secret weapon.
3) Learn how the pros buy online. Without the rightknowledge, points #1 and #2 are almost worthless. Learn the insand outs of classic car buying so you can score the best dealfor you money.

1975 Chevrolet Corvette

2007-07-03T20:51:00.001-07:00

1975 CHEVROLET CORVETTE, THE MOST DESIRABLE OF ALL LIKE KIND CORVETTES, THIS FOUR SPEED AIR CONDITIONED CONVERTIBLE EFFORTLESSLY FLOWS WITH HER NEW BLACK PAINT. THIS SEAMLESS BODY DESIGN WITH THE DISTINCTIVE 'STINGRAY' FENDER LINES MAKE HER POISED READY TO WISK ONE GRACEFULLY ONTO THE NEXT GROUP OF ONLOOKERS, BECAUSE WHEN THEY SEE THIS ONE THEIR JAWS ARE GOING TO FALL SLACK! **EXTERIOR **New paint on a body that has never been in a serious accident. The headlights and the hood line up great as do the bumpers and the upper strip that attaches to the firewall on the front end doesn't look like it has been repaired. The frame is in great shape remaining solid and straight. The weatherstrip is new or good and the door main weatherstrips are new. The soft top is new black vinyl and it looks great. The tires are new and look great on the car's original rally wheels. The spare tire carrier looks great and has not had a jack put underneath it. L-82 emblems have been put on the hood and they look nice. The car look gorgeous.** **INTERIOR **If you noticed how nice the interior is it is because the seat covers, the door panels and the carpet are all new. There are no conspicuous blemishes in the interior. The car is optioned with Tilt-Telescopic for all us Big Boys out there. The original 4-speed shifter with positive lock out reverse is still in place as well. The stereo is a CD player that has been professionally installed and sounds great. The gauges are beautiful and all work except for the clock. The tachometer works but will need a new distributor if the new owner desires it to operate because the car is running a more efficient H.E.I. (High Energy Ignition) distributor and there is no place for the mechanical tach cable. The rear compartment doors are functional but no longer work like new (heck the reproduction ones don't work that well either!)

2007 Hamann Ferrari F430 Black Miracle

2007-06-18T21:22:00.000-07:00

HAMANN’s “Black Miracle“ designed black car body via a foil suggests the appearance of a primary base coat versus a ready-finished lacquered vehicle. It leaves an impression as if the entire car body is covered in velvet. Here as well, comes an idea directly from motor sports racing scene where motor covers are often finished in black matt to aide drivers with glare reduction. The “Black Miracle” design by HAMANN acts similar to a black hole absorbing all light. For the “light at the end of the tunnel” HAMANN provides additional parts following customer preferences in brilliant red, orange or yellow finish. The contrast between black matt and each “luminizing” addition is unquestionably mesmerizing especially for countless admirers at Ferrari meetings. Such an individualized F430 entrance has never been seen before!

The highlight of the “Black Miracle“ designs: when the black matt colour doesn’t seem pleasing anymore, the foil can be easily removed.

The noted HAMANN aerodynamic kit for the Ferrari F430 in dazzling colours grasps many elements directly out of motor sports. Front impressions of the F430 “Black Miracle“ through HAMANN’s front spoiler provide a distinct racing sports face and minimize front axle buoyancy. The wide rocker panel wings give a lowering impression. Further reminiscence of sports racing awakens at the rear end through the HAMANN diffuser and a powerful rear wing which provides more downthrust on the rear axle. HAMANN air dams for the downforce generating Venturi Tunnel boosts the effect.

Additionally included in the “Black Miracle“ design are finished aerodynamic parts in red, orange or yellow as well as coloured side mirrors and brake callipers, tinted rear lights, a coloured engine cover framing, dark tinted windows (including front window), bi-coloured leather furnishings (any choice of colour combinations), HAMANN logos within the head rests as well as the wheels finished in the colour of the aerodynamic components and with completely covered black matt rim flange.

2007 JNH Ferrari 360 Modena

2007-06-18T20:30:00.000-07:00

The sensitive task facing us when choosing to work on 360 Modena was whether we could put our own spice on the world's most complete design, which was Pininfarina and whether we could improve functional-wise what Ferrari's craftsmanship mastered in ground effect.

JNH's long standing policy is not to work on anything if it's only for dress-up purpose. Our motto is to use our magic to better the original design and function.

We have conducted numerous testing with stock car and what we witnessed there was disturbing. In 6th gear and extremely high speed situation, front under cover for which our modeler has nothing but praise was ripped apart and the fear of front lift ran through test drivers mind.

Extensive testing led us to this conclusion: 360 Modena is better left as it is. What we should do is respect the stock body and refine it JNH way.

Utilizing Venturi Tunnela and respecting Pininfarina design, specially on the side view --- What JNH proudly presents are: Front canard that'll be separately installed, Splitter which looks perfect on smooth side view and Rear under diffuser that effectively handle air from the bottom of body.

Byline: Erin Burt, Kiplinger Washington Editors When it comes to car insurance, young adults tend to take the path of least resistance -- and that could be costing them hundreds of dollars a year. Once you move out from under your parents' roof or buy your own car, most insurance companies will require you to buy your own policy instead of keeping your coverage under Mom and Dad's.

Some great deals exist right now on new and used cars as dealers clear out old inventory and make room for new models. But one major expense consumers often overlook in buying a new car is the cost of insuring it. A car's make and model can greatly influence what you pay for coverage. Many consumers never check with their insurer before buying a car, and they often fail to shop around for the best rates, according to the Kansas City-based National Association of Insurance Commissioners.
