I have been left with cars that i cant tell exactly what they are!?

I have 2 karmann ghias. I think one is a fastback and i am not sure the other. Also I have a ford cobra mustang that was turbo I think it is a 79. I have a 50"s chevy but not sure what it is . Where can i look and be able to tell what these are. And then what is the best thing to do with them. Part them out sell them as is or junk them.

these cars you are describing are probably quite collectible, depending on condition.

you would be wise to have an expert come in and evaluate them for you.
Even a trusted mechanic or an acquaintence with some car knowledge should be able to help you make an intitial evaluation.
If you can get the id numbers from them you should be able to do a search and find exactly what types and years they are.

If they are totally trashed parting them out will be an option but generally speaking you are better off selling them as is

To address the title issue: talk to your department of motor vehicles, if they have sat over a defined period of years, they are considered “abandoned” and it is a relatively simple matter to get replacement titles, your DMV deals with this every day, they can help you with that.

First I would take pictures of the cars and have someone identify them. These are collectible cars so dont be so quick to take them to the crusher. If they are in decent shape, they might bring you some money. Find someone who knows cars to look them at ascertain their shape. Look on E-Bay to help identify them and see what their selling for.

Wherever you’re located, have someone with a little bit of auto knowledge look at them. How bad of shape are they in?

Do you have the titles that go with them? the make/ model should be on them.

If you dont have the titles. . . well. . then they really arent yours to do with what you want & you wont be able to do anything with them (legally) until you get them in your name.

Those re collectible cars. You can sell all of them and make over $100,000.
The Cobra Mustang is supercharged, not turbo.
The Karmann Ghias are VW’s. They are rare and expensive if in good condition.
The 50′s chevy sells for over $100,000 alone if it is in excellent condition. I think the 50′s chevy is either a Bellaire or a Corvette. Just search for 50′s chevy in yahoo images to see which one you have.
If the Mustang is in good condition, it can sell for $30,000.

the mustang cobra was not introduced until 1993 but it might be a different mustang, but if ur still willing to sell it, or just the engine, u can contact me :)
