A Gold Mine of Information about Classic Car Parts
Finding Classic Car Parts
Not so long ago, a friend of mine who belonged to a classic car club asked me if I would take time to help him restore his 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback that his dad left him after his death. This was something totally new to me as I had never really done any antique mechanic work, but after the restoration of that classic Mustang began, I was hooked for life!
This car enthusiasts instilled in me a smorgasbord of information about the processes of restoring antique autos, and since that day working on classic cars is where I now spend much of my free time. Not to mention that I gained a nice little sum of money from the profits of restoring my first two classic automobiles. I am considering diving into this antique car restoration hobby as a business!
There are many obstacles to consider when starting a car restoration business but this report concentrates on the antique auto parts portion. In order to make a business like this work, however, I would need to find some genuine sources for classic car parts.
Specifically, I'm looking for auto shops or dealerships that stock a large enough inventory of products that I can be relatively certain that I'll be able to find what I need no matter what kind of vehicle I'm working on.

Classic Auto Parts Dealers Need to Have Selection and Price
In addition to carrying a wide selection of classic car parts for all makes and models,
It's imperative that these antique car parts retailers be able to offer competitive pricing too. |
Having to buy classic car parts like brake discs, clutch kits, water pumps, oil filters, headers, and quarter panels is by far the greatest expense involved in automobile restoration. Since I'd be buying these things on a pretty regular basis and would be a loyal customer, I'd need my classic car parts dealer to have the lowest prices around.
For my previous projects, I had to drive more than 75 miles to find the classic car parts I needed to get the jobs done. That's not exactly a convenient distance, and it wouldn't be reasonable to make those trips over and over again.
Purchasing Classic Car Parts Online
This the main reason I find myself leaning towards purchasing all of my classic car parts online instead. By doing this, I could have everything delivered right to my door within a week, or I could even have pay for overnight shipping in the event of emergencies. I'd then be able to spend my time actually working on the vehicles instead of driving back and forth between stores.
Another reason it would be easier to find classic car parts online is because location wouldn't be a factor at all. I could order from shops as far away as southern California or northern Maine, and I would have access to much more inventory as well. Finally, I know that online antique auto parts distributors almost always offer the lowest possible prices, which would of course be great from a business standpoint.
As soon as I find myself becoming adept at finding these inexpensive classic car parts stores online, I will be more capable of making good decisions one way or the other.
With that said, for the time being I really believe I have decided to dive head first into the wonderful world of owning a first class antique automobile restoration shop. With my newfound knowledge I'm sure I'll find classic auto parts I need for the job at hand.
