If restoring old cars is your favorite hobby and you are looking for an affordable car for your next project, attending a Capital Auto Auction is an easy way to find the perfect car.
Car restoration can be an expensive hobby with the bulk of expenses going toward buying the car itself. Buying a car through a public car auction at Capital Auto Auction can help you save some money so that you can put more money into the restoration process. Capital Auto Auction gets their cars from police car auction, government auto auction and seized car auction, making it possible to offer a variety of makes models at affordable prices. A public car auction is an exciting and fun way to spend a day searching for your next car project.
Attending an auto auction is a convenient way to view many different used cars that would make ideal choices for your next car project. With four locations available, there is sure to be a Capital Auto Auction location close to your home. If this is your first car auction, it is a good idea to prepare before the day of the auction.

If you are unable to attend a live public car auction, you can still find the right car for your next car restoration project by attending a live online auto auction. When you click on the link to the calendar you will be able to see when the online auto auction is being held next. As with the public car auction, information about the cars offered during an online car auction can be found at the website along with the starting bid for each car.

Whether you decide to attend a car auction in person or attend an online car auction, you will be able to find an affordable used car for your next car project.

Would you trade a 1980 Triumph TR7 for a 1958 Hillman Minx?
My husband and I bought a Triumpg TR7 this summer. It's brown with quite a bit of primer. It runs (needs a water pump) and is pretty solid. It's a soft top. A local car restoration shop is interested in trading us the Triumph for a 1958 Hillman Minx straight up. I can't decide if that's a good trade or not. I really like the Hillman (they're cute!) but I think the parts may be harder to come by and more expensive. Any opinions?
I must add that I am from the middle of the US. Hillman's are EXTREMELY rare here. And TR7's are sought after...at all....that why we only paid $250 for it.

Info on a small version of a 1957 Chevy Bel Air?
I once lived in a small town and there was a car that looked just like a 1957 Chevy Bel Air but MUCH smaller. I now own a classic car restoration shop and have asked many people about this car. I have had one person tell me it is called the "phantom" 57 and it's origin is unknown. This person claims there are only three or four in existence. I recently went back to this small town only to find the car and the owner no longer reside there. Has anyone ever seen or heard of such a car? If so I would be interested in the history of it as well. Thanks in advance to any plausible answers I get.
There is "such a thing" as I have seen one with my own eyes. I am not saying GM made it, I am just saying it exists and I want to know what it is, a kit car, a proto-type or what.
I searched for Vauxhall classics, nothing there. This car looked EXACTLY like a 57 bel air with the silver inset on the rear fenders and everything. It was just smaller in every aspect, height, width, and length. This may have been a one-off custom. I truly don't know, just thought I would throw the question out there. At the time, I just never asked the owner about it and when I went back to look at the car and talk with the owner both were gone.
