He haggled the price down, as well as delivery — the seller was from Akron — and when the old Dodge rolled into his driveway in Greeley, Elder's mind's eye quite literally blazed.<br /><br />“It was almost instant — I'm going to make a barbecue grill,” he recalls.<br /><br />About a year of work later, the immense grill of the Dodge, a one-time asphalt truck coated in rust and tar, gleams along with the hood, headlights and fenders in its second life as, well, a high-horsepower grill.<br /><br />“This is the beast,” Elder says as he pushes a remote-control button.<br /><br />Guurrrrruuhummm goes the hood of the old Dodge, rising 3 feet via a motorized pulley and displaying the grill's impressive guts. They look remarkably like a 1930s-era V-8 engine."</blockquote>Read the full story here - <a href="http://www.greeleytribune.com/article/20100915/NEWS/100919784/1002">Car guru's skills turn into high-horsepower grill | Greeley Tribune</a>Classic Car Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17614474798627364450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720558722826168640.post-19763241310224055512010-08-25T09:50:00.000-07:002010-08-25T09:59:46.725-07:00An Article Too Good Not to Share<div style="text-align: justify;">Below is an article I recently came across on<a href="http://m.jalopnik.com/5615911/an-open-letter-to-the-typical-classic-car-sellerowner"> Jalopnik</a> that I thought was just too good not to share with others. Thanks Thom for your wonderful insight!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-style: italic;">An Open Letter to the Typical Classic Car Seller/Owner</span></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">By Thom Douglas</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Aug 20, 2010 04:00 PM </span><br /><br />I'm getting increasingly bothered by the fact that I don't have a car, whether drivable or not. This frustration rises exponentially when I'm "window shopping" for a car on Craigslist. I come across one in which I'm halfway interested (usually within the late 1930′s, late 40′s, early 50′s or late 60′s model years) & then see the price. </div><p style="text-align: justify;">When you want $4,000 for a rusted up, disassembled, & probably incomplete, shell of a *insert faux-rare model here*, you probably (unintentionally, of course) aren't trying to sell it to anyone under the age of 40. Then you, the "older" car enthusiast, turns around to bitch & moan about how your "old car enthusiast culture" is dying because we, the younger generation, seem to be disinterested in your culture.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">News flash, old timer(s): it's not that we're not interested, on the contrary, we're very interested.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The problem is that you price these "collector" cars at ridiculously high prices. So, you poured half your retirement fund into restoring it. No one told you to do that. Yes, the car looks great, but don't expect to make back what you put into it, then plus whatever that bullsh*t KBB says the car is worth.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The only people who can afford these immaculately restored cars are people of your age group. No wonder the classic car culture is dying. The only people who can afford them literally ARE…dying.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Now, to be fair, I have no problem with a "well maintained" classic, priced reasonably at $10,000. If the upholstery is good, the paint is decent, & there is little or no rust, that's definitely 100 Benjamins well spent.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">But when you come on the internets & you post a rusted up, non-running, "they made 1 million of these cars, but it's definitely rare" Ford for $10,000, that is NOT 100 Benjamins well spent. In fact, it's literally a waste of money. And time, both on your part & the readers'/shoppers' part.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">I see postings all the time for classic cars with low-ish miles (40-50k), in decent shape, & drivable. And then I see their $6,000 price tag. That is a hell of a deal if you ask me. My favourite postings are the ones that have a 30′s, 40′s, or 50′s car for sale & in the description it says "this was/is my daily driver." Dear seller, you're doin' it right.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">I can justify giving you $10k for a car if it looks presentable, IF…& only "if," it is not "perfect" <em>because</em> it's your daily driver. Anyone who appreciates a classic for what it is: a car to be driven, deserves to have an extra $2k added to their asking price, because they know the true value of the vehicle they are trying to sell. As long as you can upkeep your classic AND use it as a daily driver, you have my respect & money.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">I CAN'T justify giving you $10k for a car that is in perfect condition that you just let sit in your garage in between seasons/car shows. I don't care that it's never seen rain or snow. You know what that tells me? It tells me that this isn't a car to you. It tells me that you think this car is some sort of trophy. Something to be looked at & never truly driven for fear of God only knows what.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">If it's not in decent shape because you're neglectful, then that tells me that the car means less to you than it does to the man who thinks it's a trophy. It tells me you think it's equivalent to a paper napkin: something to be disposed & forgotten about. Since that's what it appears to be, you should probably just drop the asking price to "free."</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">But getting back to immaculately restored, never driven cars…</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">So one or two parts might be a little hard to find. That's not worth not driving the car. Don't not drive it because you're afraid something will break. Cross that bridge when you come to it.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Classics are not "special." They are not "rare." They are not meant to be roped off so a child can't touch them. They are cars, meant to be driven, enjoyed, used, & loved. Not the faux-driven, faux-enjoyed, faux-used, or faux-loved like too many classics are. If you have a true, unadulterated passion for automobiles, not just classics, you will understand this article. If not, then I'm sorry I've wasted your time.

Sure, you can take a car and restore it to it's original image but a true piece of work that really tantalizes the eyes is a fine crafted Hot Rod. A Hot Rod came to be known in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been "hopped up" by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance. A typical Hot Rod consists of vehicles from the early 20's through 60's especially pre World War II vehicles and their parts.<br /><br /><div align="center"><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">There are those who criticize and believe the practice of modifying rare vehicles and their parts should be abolished and consider Hot Rodding a derogatory term, while others who enjoy this type of restoration keep the hobby alive.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="left">To view more pictures of Hot Rods or those vehicles that could become Hot Rod Projects visit <a href="http://www.oldride.com/" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.oldride.com">OldRide.com</a> and view their <a href="http://www.oldride.com/rustyrides.html" target="_blank" mce_href="http://www.oldride.com/rustyrides.html">Rusty Rides</a> section. </div><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499109806552103362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 316px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2uYQnWG2W9u_qnvZPDZhTv6HX7jcRX0QNikm7L0bKHxm4asGy82r6s2I7FzcGK79fNwMYPphApiw0OrWJJu5ESc6y7rNvgKliZAycAOsC_ufsnDMMQ-538jBgrVrDBK0VShSDjr_5WZk/s400/1938+Lincoln+Zephyr.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#666666;">1938 Lincoln Zephyr<br /></span><br /><div align="left"><span style="color:#999999;">The following websites are a staple in Hot Rod Culture:</span></div><ul><li><div align="left"><span style="color:#999999;">Get the know-how to customize your Hot Rod for other HotRodders at </span><a href="http://www.hotrodders.com/"><span style="color:#999999;">Hotrodders.com</span></a></div></li><li><div align="left"><span style="color:#999999;">The true genius when it comes to American Hot Rods -</span><a href="http://www.boydcoddington.com/"><span style="color:#999999;"> Boyd Coddington</span></a></div></li><li><div align="left"><span style="color:#999999;">And if you really want to get into the nitty gritty, join the</span> <a href="http://www.nhra.com/">NHRA</a></div></li></ul></div>Classic Car Loverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17614474798627364450noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4720558722826168640.post-72905917797252244922010-07-23T16:49:00.000-07:002010-07-23T16:52:54.442-07:00The Ultimate Classic Car Website<p align="justify">An informative and always interesting website for all you classic, vintage, or what have you car enthusiasts is <a href="http://www.oldride.com/">www.oldride.com</a>.
