Old Car Shopper is the place where I get to showcase the cars I like. Cars like the 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible. Or, one of my very favorites – a 1959 Thunderbird convertible.  Maybe even the Chrysler 300 below? I try not to be “trendy,” I show what I like best.

Swap Meets – Do You Go?

I like to go to swap meets to find parts for my projects. One of the biggies is the Tri State swap meet in Denver, CO – click here to see one of my favorite swap meets in Colorado!

I live in Colorado and I haven’t been to the big Hershey swap meet. Maybe this year?

Buying Cars Online – It’s Here!

The way we look for and buy cars has changed radically in the last decade. Online “for sale” websites such as eBay.com, Facebook Marketplace and craigslist.org and even youtube.com have made it possible to locale a collector car thousands of miles from your home with almost as much buying confidence as purchasing an old car down the street.

Looking at images and videos in real-time are almost as good as physically walking around that old classic. In fact, you can consider literally thousands of cars in just one evening – from the comfort of your home, the virtual experience is that good.

I love to look at old cars for sale. That’s why I created oldcarshopper.com. All cars you’ll find here are curated to a my personal tastes.

No garage queens, no un-affordable dream machines. I like to show cars that you can actually buy!

But all are great old cars that anybody would be proud to have in their garage.

Collector Car Parts – Where Do You Find Them!

Since I buy a lot of old car parts for my own restorations, I’ll show you where I get my parts – and which vendors I like best.

As the internet has really opened up this hobby, eBay is often my first choice to locate that hard-to-find part for my projects. I try to use eBay for mostly OEM parts but you can find a lot of reproduction parts suppliers there too. One of the hardest things to find are vintage car radios. But you can find them right here – all organized by make and year.

Recently, I’ve had some really nice results with suppliers whom I recently found. I’ll let you know which ones I like and why.

Good luck with your search – and your projects!
