They specialize in auto loans for classic cars.

Put in an application - see if they approve you. It can't hurt to try. I understand banks are pickier about giving out loans for vintage cars than new or newer used cars (usually no more than 5 years old).
Would the owner of the car possibly let you pay him/her for the car over time, and then you would take the car once you've finished? I'm buying an older Lincoln that way, from someone in Montana - I paid it off fast, and should have it sometime in June...

Check out drive.com.au. It is under used Holden Monaros, 1976 HX. You're a car guy Flyin, have you seen any of these in the states?

These cars were sold strictly in Austrailia, having the car shipped to the east coast would cost about an additional $3,500 plus the cost of the car(around $17,000 U.S0
My problem is will JJ Best give me a loan if I am trying to purchase a car outside the U.S?
The standard engine on this type of car is a 308(some of these cars are fitted with 454 chevy big blocks)

I am the Nightrider...I am the Nightrider. The Toecutter knows my name! I was always partial to Max's black interceptor. It had a blower man.

As I have said if I can break through my financial barriers you my see a holden at the fall classic car show. Even though the Mad Max stuff should be on a seperate page i'm glad there are others that enjoy the movie as much as I do. Some of the best car chase scenes in movie history.

Hi everyone!
I was there over Mothers' Day Weekend w/ my family. I thought the Participants for the Car Show were a little off also as compared to last year. Maybe it had something to do with The Mayor possibly Canceling the Event at first then later allowing it on a Trial basis this year. I did notice a Police Presence and making a lot of Traffic Stops. The Traffic stops appeared to be more than just Car Show Participants. A few bad Apples in the Bunch make it rough for everyone unfortunately. "Keep On Truckin' " everyone.
