its called flipping cars http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/20...un-and-profit/

ive done a few, its very fun and you can make good money fast, problem is there is gonna be laws requiring you to obtain a dealers license if you sell more than so many cars a year (check your local laws)

When buying an old car be careful. I have owned a 1966 Mustang and currently own a 1969 Cougar. I don't car how many pictures you get it is still best to look at the vehicle in person. In person you can see/feel defects that the camera may not pick up. Bondo is normally easy to find, and if they say there is no bondo they are lying. It's best to skim the car to get a smooth desirable finish.

-Check frame rails (front & rear), floor pans (front, rear, & trunk), wheel wells, drip rails, windshield corners (front & rear), doors (generally near bottom corners), shock towers, battery tray, cowl. Those are the most common problem areas.

-Also make sure everything works, windows for example. Roll them all up & down. Make sure all doors, trunk & hood open and close to your satisfaction. The glove box is another good place to check. Basically with old cars you have to check stuff that you wouldn't check on newer cars.

Technically this post is over 3 months old, by 11 days when you posted tyrant. I'm sure your just working on your post count, just dont bring them back when they are too old.
