Recommendations for online site to sell a classic vehicle? (Non Mopar)

Big Bad Dad · Sep 7, 2021

I have a really nice, family owned car that I inherited a few years ago. It's a 1967 model with all original paint and interior, etc. 67K original miles. Great car, but it's a 4 door Grandpa/Grandma type car. I just never drive it. Would like to free up my garage and concentrate on my Mopars. I'm not even sure about what the value would be on it. I tried finding a Buick site similar to FBBO or FCBO, but there does not seem to be one. You guys have any recommendations for a site? (Either good or bad experiences..) I have never sold a car online, but I'm sure it would be a pretty limited market to just use local Craiglist.
Thanks

I know someone that sold 3 cars there last year. All 3 sold for appreciably more than normal.

I think they have to “accept” your car before they allow you the privilege of auctioning it.

You could try here first for other cars (non-Mopar):

https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/forums/other-cars-vehicles-for-sale.65/

Personally, I would never use Craigslist or Facebook marketplace to sell anything.

Again, give https://bringatrailer.com/ a call. They will probably like the car for it being family owned for so long, the low mileage, and the originality. They couldn't care less if it's a 4 door or a 2 door.

Also, the photographers they use are very good.

Again, give them a call. They'll do an "interview" to decide if they want to accept it for auction. Once accepted they will prepare a well-written description of your car, as well as help set an auction reserve price for it.

Thanks for this idea. I posted a 'test" ad on this site. What do you guys think? The ad OK? How about the pricing? I will probably go online with some of the sale sites pretty soon.

I think someone will snap it up at $10,000 and try to flip it for $15,000.

I would call bringatrailer and discuss the car with them. They will know what the market will pay and know better than me, but a reserve price of around $13,000 is my best guess. You only need 2 or more auction bidders to have auction fever hit and watch the bidding soar.

Buyers that show up at bringatrailer aren't "tire kickers".

Same here. I have used two of the national collector car dealers (Gateway and Streetside) to sell a couple of cars, and I made out better when I did it on my own with carsonline.com.

www.autabuy.com

sold a few there,
not auction deal you set the price or ask offer

haven't sold or bought there in a while
price well/fair they sell quickly
overpriced they sit forever, like most places
