Retro cars in their popularity and price can compete with the latest innovations in the automotive industry. After all, classic cars can be preserved or restored in such a way that, in terms of their driving performance, they are practically not inferior to modern cars. And with their appearance they will always attract attention and arouse interest.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are looking to buy a car that has not gone through restoration, but is in good condition, it is best to look for it in garages or country houses. In such places, it is likely to find an elderly driver who still has Victory or Gas in his garage. And, as a rule, this car is in very good condition. Moreover, we drove it for the last time 10-20 years ago. Sometimes similar advertisements for the sale of a car can be found on popular resources for the sale of used cars. In this case, the heirs sell retro cars. And they inflate the price and will not be able to thoroughly tell you the whole history of the car and show you possible shortcomings and problems.
Step 2
If you want to repair an old car yourself, look for ads that indicate that the car does not have an engine, or a broken body, etc. In this case, you can buy several cars and assemble one good car from spare parts. And the original spare parts themselves cannot be found in the store. They can only be replaced with similar ones or adapted. But only original elements of decoration or decor should be looked for.
Step 3
When assembling a car from various units, problems may arise with the registration of such a vehicle in the traffic police. After all, some cars already at that time had body and engine numbers. Therefore, when buying such machines, they must have documents (PTS).
Step 4
If you do not want to look for or collect a car yourself, pay attention to the restored cars. These cars can be found in specialized auto repair shops that give retro cars a second life. There you can find a car that is assembled in compliance with all the nuances of finishing and decor, and at the same time, it has been seriously changed technically. The chassis and engine can be replaced with modern counterparts, so the car will be technically sound. Inside the cabin, they can change the seats for more comfortable ones. Or make a functional leather interior. It turns out that only the body remained from the old car, and a fair amount of work was done on it. But if the very fact of owning such a car and its exterior are important to you, then this is ideal.
