No doubt. I'm not trying to do anything extravagant. Just buy a 1500$ non running car and get it running sell for $3000 type thing.

I dont know about Mustangs because you'll probably end up putting too much money into it before you sell it.

Motorcycles on the other hand, YES! I did this on and off for about 3 years. I got to have fun on the bikes, then dump them for profit I basically made my way up from a $600 bike and ended up with an $8000 bike, which in turn was sold to fund my saleen, the 95 cobra, and finally my current 95 GTS

Back in the late 80's and early 90's when VW bugs were pretty popular, my dad used to flip them. He'd buy a straight non-runner for $500 and sell it for $1500. Did that quite often. You gotta be careful though cause now the DMV requires you to have a sales license if you sell more than 6 or 8 vehicles in a year.

We should have a California Fords store.

Dustin will take the pics, Jae Jae tests the car and N8 will make the websites. If anyone pisses us off we got FR5.0 as bodyguard.

I did it for years and made really good cash, but I dont think the Market for Mustangs is there anymore, it ended about 2 years ago in my opinion. People just dont have the cash to have a Mustang these days, cost too much to keep, gas savers are the Market now.

the market for mustangs might suck because of the economy, but it has came and went at least 3 times for me, this being the forth. and to make money takes a good pick of the car u ori purchase, and a whole stock pile of parts in your inventory, to keep cost down. but yes there always money if u dont rush

My dad has flipped a bunch of cars. And hes made some great money off of it.He made 5k on a 69 maroa few yrs ago. that shit was hard too. Wish he would have kept that one. But theres the one or two that just turned into moneys pits. so just stay away from the money pit ones and yeah theres money to be made! He flipped a few impala's, roadrunners, stangs, camaro's. all usually 60's cars but he's flipped a fox aswell.a nice 85 4 eye too.

heres a few pics of the cars he's made great money on

this one was my bro's he sold it for like 15k and maybe put in 7k



I sold this one for 1k more than i bought it for

Be sure to estimate just how much time you'll be putting into it. You could make $1000 on one sale, but if you put a week or two of work into it, you may be only making $6 an hour.
