Best online site to sell a 1957 chevy belair

Perhaps it runs in our blood. We love classic cars, but cant stand to
own them. I owned a BEAUTIFUL 92 corvette. I learned to hate it. It
was so beautiful that ever little scratch or even a rainstorm made me
shiver with worry.

I sold it and bought a 1999 toyota truck and love it to death because
I get it dinkged up and scratch and shrug my shoulders and say "Well,
it IS a truck" and laugh. I am much happier.

In any case, anyone have some sites since that was the main question I
asked?
Thanks in advance!

You actually provided useful info... i would apologize for insulting
you, but in doing so, you actually offered some good information,
advice, and suggestions... so I guess I am glad I got that out of you.
Thanks!

Count me in as a sort of 2). I've never bought an antique car off the
Internet and I've still got the two I bought in-person, and so have never
sold one, in-person or online.

Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

Hemmings, in Bennington VT, get a copy of the current issue and start
there.

I didn't know that you had made any points that needed proving....why don't
you and your wife write a book on internet etiquette? And since you chose
to insult me, be sure to be the first to read it.

You wrote
" And a google search of "classic cars sell buy" gives me more results than
I can choose from"

so I suggested a different search "collector car auctions" - a set of
keywords which would yield hits on outfits like Barrett-Jackson, Cox
Branson, and Carlilse, places that the cream of the crop are sold.

Those venues, where collectors with cash in hand gather for the express
purpose of buying desirable cars will net you the most for a particularly
nice piece of iron.

You obviously think your Dad's Belair is unique and highly desirable (if its
still in anywhere near the same condition it was 17 years ago (1990) when it
won the award you crowed about) and you tossed out figures of 80 and 100K,
which is quite high for a Belair, even a if it were a convertible.

If it IS that good, then you' will want to offer it for sale at real,
in-person, inspect, and "kick the tires" auction, rather than online in the
"cesspool of the internet".

Selling it anywhere online will require dealing with the 16 year old kids
who bid rediculous amounts then bail, or deal seekers looking to buy a
Ferrari for a Yugo price. Relisting over and over till you find the right
buyer can be an option, but if you're serious, then take it to the pros.

=====================================
Heh. Jazz, Robin was talking about you.

Robin's final sentence is the advice--good advice--that all the
posters you have been complaining about are trying to give you.

Bottom line, there really ISNT any good online place to sell a car
such as you describe, and BTW if it isn't a no-post (hardtop) or
convertible, it isn't the car you describe anyway. There are VERY few
tri-five Chevies in that price range. What few there are, reach that
price at the auctions such as B-J and RM, NOT on-line.
