Hi there,
My brother in law has to find for his job some (20) classic cars. We have to ship them to china. I like to help him because I like the oldies a lot-and a kind of a searchholiday is always good-...and who knows what to find more...of course i opted for only aircooled cars...but that was not the goal. Just a set of random 1960 cars.
I'm from Holland, and i just want to come over to the US to check some classic car dealers, and arrange the transport.

My question for you is:
can you give me some names/websites of good/fair classic car dealers/garages in california??. Of course i search allready my ass off, but every help is welcome
Thanx alot,
greetings, David

-------they've been doing Camaros for years now......SUPER CHEVY ARTICLE:
SC: What bodies are currently available from Dynacorn Classic Bodies?

Jim: Currently available are the CA69CV '69 Camaro Convertible Replacement Body Shell, and soon, the CA69CP '69 Camaro Coupe Replacement Body Shell. Other shells either being planned or in development are the '70-'72 Chevelle coupe and convertible, the '66-'67 Nova, '53-'54 Chevy pickup five-window cab, and the list is growing.

SC: Where are the bodies created and can anyone do them at home?

Jim: The bodies consist of a series of sub-assemblies that are stamped and welded together in our overseas manufacturing facility. Those sub-assemblies are shipped to one of our two production companies--Jim Barber's C.A.R.S. in North Carolina, and Sal Perez's American Muscle Cars here in Southern California to be assembled on state-of-the-art jigs, and readied for sale. These two companies are currently the only ones authorized to assemble the subassemblies. There are a lot of proprietary parts on these bodies, which we will not sell separately through Dynacorn International in order to prevent unauthorized assembly of the shells, and thus help us control the quality and workmanship, which is important to the success of this project.

i have heard the bodies are shit and always need to be reworked, the cars have no soul, seriously they are missing something and the only guys buying them are the wealthy wannabees that can not find or restore one due to lack of knowledge.....just waiting for vw to do the same.

Some of these end up at the Barrett-Jackson auction and sell for stupid money. Rolling Eyes
