Does anyone have any experience with countries besides USA that have a demand for American Muscle/Classic cars? Cars from the 1960's-1980's such as Chevy, Camaro, Chevelle, Pontiac, Buick, Plymouth, Dodge...etc?

If so, what countries prove to have a higher interest in these types of commodities?

Does anyone know of a person or particular place I might be able to find someone interested in purchasing these types of vehicles in countries other than USA?

If you have to ask these questions, this is not the business for you. In addition to selling the cars, you will also have to make them road legal for sale in those countries.

Not too many countries care that much about old American musclecars. Some ones that do that I know are the UK, Japan, China, and to a lesser extent, Australia. Keep in mind that the market for this stuff is very small over there, only the very wealthy would be interested.

In truth, I think the pricing on American musclecars has gotten out of hand, pricing is on a downward trend based on recent BJ auctions for this stuff.

I recall a Wheeler Dealers episode in which they said that classic American muscle cars are very popular in Dubai.

Yeah, but you have to have country with money. What was that I said? They have the most nuvoriches in the world. And those will toss money at anything. Every yokel deep in Tambovskiy Uyezd has enough dollars stashed to buy any muscle car he wants.
Also, like I said - good luck.

I saw a 59 Caddy break the 200K mark at the last auction.............thought that was "all the money!"

It's very much a dwindling market though. The guys who are turning 40 and 50 now don't have the same feeling of nostalgia for those old muscle cars as people in their 60's and 70's do, and aren't willing to pay the big bucks for a car that used to cost $5k.

I think in the next 20 years, we're going to see a massive price decrease on a lot of this stuff.
