Customizing a classic car means adding or changing some parts and details that are not originally included in that make. This might include a better engine, suspensions, and more comfortable seats. The paint might also be customized. Perhaps you have seen a Mustang with blazetrails on the side. That's customization.
Many people love to fix up cars as a hobby or business. If you're looking to get into rebuilding cars, salvage cars are a great way to get started. You can often repair the car or take the parts to build a new car.
The parts are hard to find, and are therefore expensive. Unless you engage in a treasure hunt and search for parts cars in cash for clunckers and auctions, stock parts may be a little expensive. The reason for this is simple: car companies don't produce those parts anymore, so it would be considered rare by most people, much like a classic car.
Now, if your car is older than 10 to 12 years, you may find it just a little bit difficult to find what you need in one place. In this case, you might want to try approaching those companies that specialize in auto parts. You may also want to try searching for the parts you need on eBay or JC Whitney. These sites are well known for having some of the best finds when it comes to spare parts. What is more important is that these sites can also offer you good bargains.
Looking at all the vintage car parts in catalogues can be really exciting but how can you be sure that what you are paying for is genuine? As with vintage cars, these parts are expensive as well. Check up on the dealer's credentials if possible.
The Penny Bid. While you may not actually be able to bid one penny at a time, the idea behind this strategy is to bid the minimum increment very quickly after your opponent bids. After a few times, your opponent may just give up, thinking that no matter what he or she bids, you will always top her. At the very least you may push the price past your opponents limit this way. Beware. I have actually had people that I was bidding against this way, come up and give me an earful for my "poor sportsmanship". People hate to lose and they hate to lose even more when it's only by a few cents.
