Hi, a friend wants me to assist him in selling his 61 Corvette online (he’s absolutely computer illiterate). He gave me some info on his car, but I’m finding it a bit confusing.

What sort of information does the buyer of a classic car look for?

Any advice would be appreciated…

Thanks and have a great day!

Paula

      Engine size - is it original or rebuilt, trans type - is it original or rebuilt, color, interior, what all is original, amount of rust, is paint original, how many past owners, and how was it cared for (garaged, daily driver, raced, maintenance)

      With a classic like that buyers are going to want to know as much history as can be provided:
      1) Has the car been damaged and to what extent . What parts were changed out to fix it, and what is its current condition.
      2) Is it a numbers matching car, this refers to the motor, transmission, body and chassis being the originals from the factory, whereby all the vehicles identifying numbers will match manufacturers build sheet as original and authentic.
      3) Is there any particular piece of history associated with the car, i.e… did elvis ride in it etc, etc.
      4) How does it drive. Is the motor running strong, does the transmission shift properly,
      does the rearend howl, does it steer straight or pull to one side
      5) What condition is the paint in any chips, or fading.
      Well I could go on, but you get the idea by know I”m thinking , just give as much relevant history and description on the car as you can possibly think to include. Believe me no matter how much you include, serious collectors will be asking for more.
