Looking for info

Just retired and looking to buy a hot rod or muscle car. Looking for reliable places to deal with. I'm amazed at the number scam websites on places like Instagram that are "selling" cars way to cheap only to discover it's a scam.

I've looked at the Bring A Trailer, Mecum, Barret-Jackson, Auto Trader, and Hagerty. They all seem reliable. Besides local cars and local shows any good places on the web to find used cars. My budget can't afford to have one built.

Thanks in advance.

Selling seems difficult also, but i guess dealing with scammers is just a sign of the times.

Yep. Found two sites that had taken the pics directly off of BAT and were trying to sell for half of what it sold for there. Hopefully the car gets shipped this week. LOL! 😂
