What You Should Know about Hot Rod Car Sales Prices

If you are looking for a car with some real excitement, consider the hot rod. The term hot rod is used to describe a production car which has undergone some form of modification to increase performance. The term can be used to describe any car from any era, but most commonly refers to vehicles made during the 1930s and 1940s. When shopping for one of these cars, understanding the average hot rod car salese prices is very helpful when it comes to getting a good deal.

You're not going to be able to find hot rod pricing in the traditional guides like NADA and Kelley Blue Book. This is because these guides only date back to 1979. You are going to need a specialty book which deals especially with cars from this era. Or, you can search using the Internet. The key is to find sites which deal specifically with antique and collectible cars. This is exactly what hot rods are -- antique cars which are highly collectible. An antique car is a car over 25 years of age, and hot rods definitely qualify.

One company that offers antique car pricing online is Manheim. Manheim has the respected Gold Book, which is a guide to antique cars. You will need to enter the make, model and year of the car you are looking up. Then you will be presented with a variety of values that correspond to the vehicle you looked up. Let's say you are looking up a 1940 Cadillac Series 60. You will find that the price for a show quality model is $54,000. The categories listed are Fair quality, Good quality, Excellent quality and Show quality.

You will discover that hot rod car sales prices are going to vary depending on many different factors. One factor is of course the condition of the car. Another factor may be your geographic location. Cars in big cities may cost more than the same cars in small towns because of the cost of living. When shopping for a hot rod, you likely know exactly what kind of car you're looking for. You may want to forgo shopping with dealers and try a classic car auction to find the car you want at a reasonable price. Even an online auction site like Ebay may lead you to your dream car at a price you're willing to pay.
