Be sure to specify the types of "old Cars" you are looking for...you don't want a lead to a long forgotten '80 Olds Omega. Let them know 40s, 50s or older, and dont be discouraged if some leads turn sour. Remember ,the more people you ask, the sooner the leads start coming. Make a habit of cruising alleys & side streets, just scanning driveways and yards. Many times, projects are forgotten, pushed to the side, and can be gotten cheaply. Also, watch the curbs on trash night This stuff can be used or traded, or swap meeted, & ITS FREE! Most times, someone moves into a place, starts cleaning, & out to the curb go the goodies. | Be sure to specify the types of "old Cars" you are looking for...you don't want a lead to a long forgotten '80 Olds Omega.

| + | Fully research the car type you are looking at - be sure there are parts for that great find. A free cool rare find can quickly turn into a hopeless money-pit just trying to get parts to fit. A lot of times a great looking car that is offered free or for an unbelievable price - is just someone else's mistake they are trying to unload. | ||
Body shops, towing services and such are good hunting, many times employees have unfinished projects sitting that can be gotten for next to nothing, just to free up space in the yard. Estates are another good source. | Body shops, towing services and such are good hunting, many times employees have unfinished projects sitting that can be gotten for next to nothing, just to free up space in the yard.
