GuysWithRides is the only dealer-free online community for collector car enthusiasts. GuysWithRides.com has a three-fold mission:

1. Manage a dealer-free online marketplace in a reserve-style auction format where private buyers can bid on rides offered for sale by private sellers. Highlights of our current auctions can be found in the green section below.
2. Provide private party "Craigslist Classifind" leads based on our six daily themes. We provide these leads at no charge and we have no financial interest in the sale of these rides. Today's Malaise Monday theme focuses on classic rides built between 1972 and 1984 when automakers struggled to meet ever-increasing emissions, safety, and fuel economy regulations with then-available technology.
3. Feature a Wide Variety of Honest, Entertaining, and Informative Content accessed through our Ride Along Page.
