Want MCC to cover your event? Then tell us about it!
MCC is heading into production for its 12th season and we’re in the process of putting together the 2007 shooting schedule.  If you know of an event you’d like us to consider covering, send us an invitation.  This e-mail form has fields for all the information we need to make an initial determination.

We do get a lot of invitations, but we consider every one we receive. And as it turns out, most of the events you see featured on our TV show are ones we learned of through viewer submissions or invitations.

You can also mail flyers, photos, videotape, CD, etc. to us at:

My Classic Car
8401 N. Kentucky Ave., Suite M.
Evansville IN 47725

We also keep all this information on file so even if we can't get to your event this year, we might be able to in the future.

Happy Motoring!

 
 
Can you help me find a part?
This question probably accounts for at least a third of all the e-mail we receive.

We've tried every way possible to make resources available to persons looking for a certain part or hard-to-find parts for a classic car. To find the part(s) you're looking for, please try these steps:

1. Check our list of TV Advertisers. Supporting them will help keep My Classic Car around!

2. Check out the My Classic Car Online Community. It's a great way to ask other MCC Online members. You can even post in the classifieds.

 
 
How much is my car worth?
The most accurate way to determine value is to have your vehicle appraised by a professional appraiser. If that isn’t in your budget, here are some other thoughts and suggestions.

Classic car values are far different from late-model car values. When you figure the value of that 1993 Mustang, the most important things are probably its mileage, the options it includes, and whether or not it's been wrecked. Then you check the 'blue book' for tax value, wholesale value, retail, etc.

For an older car which has reached 'collectible status', the condition of the car is probably more important than its history or what options it has on it. All of that still plays in, but to someone who is considering the cost of restoring a classic car, its current condition dictates how much work that restoration will entail and, therefore, the current value of the car.

How do you determine if the numbers match on a vehicle?
Depending on the model, they are located on different areas of the frame, engine, transmission, rear end and body. From around the mid 1950's, most vehicle VINs and part number locations would be listed in the service manuals, body and parts illustration for each particular vehicle. These manuals are available from many sources.

Most generally, the VIN number has a sequence of the last 4-5 digits, or more depending on the marque, that are common on other VIN marked body parts. The engine, transmission, etc. should have the same numbers if it is correct. If you are wanting a totally correct original car then this would be important from a purist and value standpoint.

Some vehicles do not have engine/drivetrains that match the VIN most notably Ford Motor Company. They simply have a cast iron/aluminum casted number or date that corresponds with the cars/trucks build date etc. They originally did this for quality control to know who made mistakes and what shift the parts were made.

We love to see our viewers' cars, and we encourage you to submit photos for posting in our Photo Gallery.
