I'm looking at selling my civic and 73 beetle for a big 70's coupe or sedan (Think Dukes of Hazzard police cars, Dodge Aspen, Dart etc)
I'm new to this sort of car and other than ebay and car and classic i'm a bit stumped.
I registered on Rods and sods but my account is registered but won't let me log in.
So, where can I peruse old american cars for sale?
UK importer websites
Facebook groups
Forums
etc,,,
Thanks,
Stu

Contact Ray. He is from the Medway area of Kent. www.raysclassics.comI suspect he will find you what you need, and help with whatever you need help with. Take a look on his website at what is available. |

If you are in Surrey go and see Dream Cars and the other American car emporium on the corner next to them.
I'm pretty sure dream cars are on Rodsnsods

Gumtree is worth a look but you'd have to search specifically, e.g. 'gran torino' 'dodge charger', etc.

I'm guessing for something like a Dodge Aspen you really want to be browsing in America, Mustangs, Trans Ams, Camaros, Chargers, Challengers, Corvettes etc are all pretty easy to find here should you want one, but an Aspen is probably a bit obscure. Thats not to say that you wont find one here, it's just that it will be easier to find one of the more popular imports... Can i interest you in a 1980 Trans Am complete with almost 12 months MOT?  |

Pistonpopper - Thats gorgeous, and what person with a love of Burt Reynolds wouldnt, but I expect that is out of my budget. :-(
Thanks all, I'll have a look at whats been suggested.
Anyone know of import companies to assist if I was to find one in the US?
Cheers,
Stu

Thanks, I'm looking for about £6500 for it. As for shipping, in the past I've always used DAS global auto logistics, however the last time I used them they were atrocious! As far as I know they got taken over by another company and the staff were changed. I was told that a lot of the staff who were very helpful at DAS now work for RJJ freight, I was going to try them next time, but with the pound so weak against the dollar I've not found anything worth buying lately so I've not tried them yet. I understand that Kingstown Shipping are very good, but I've not tried them either. Good luck with your search, it will be an exciting time.

No worries, I'm not in that much of a hurry to sell it, so if you fancy having a look at some point let me know.

UK importer websites Facebook groups Forums etc,,, Thanks, Stu Have a chat with Steve Walker (runs Eastfalia) He brings in quite a few American Imports. I got my Mustang from him. Nice guy and only buys good cars. (https://www.facebook.com/steve.walker.731135) I can PM you his number if you cant get hold of him via Facebook. For shipping I'd definitely use RJJ at Felixstowe. I've used them for over a dozen vehicle imports and they have always been great. alternately I know of a lovely Cortina Estate with a Focus ST170 engine which is for sale  |

Currently driving a 1972 BMW 1602 as my daily. Don't ask about previous cars - there have been way too many and I stopped counting at 160!

Go to as many car shows, meets, gatherings where American cars are known to be, look at the cars, chat to the owners, pick up on the good things and bad things of certain models, and look for the for sale signs in any of the windows, or go buy pistonpopper 's that looks a snip at that price |

American cars (or Amcars as we call them) are quite reasonable priced here in Norway. At the moment the Norwegian krone is very week so might be worth a look at the largest used car market here - www.finn.no/car/used/search.html |
