"Guys With Parts"
Our Free Parts Wanted and For Sale Page!
|
You asked for it and we're pleased to launch it! We added the capability to list parts both for sale and wanted on our site.
It appears to be a hit right out of the gate as we received two "parts wanted" and one "parts for sale" request within hours of the launch!
Unlike other sites that charge up to ten percent to list parts, we're offering this service for free with no ads and no other hidden costs!

Some Craigslist ads just make us stop and shake our heads, especially when they indicate the car is not yet ready for sale and they are listing their car as a “feeler” to determine whether there is interest. In this latest example, the private seller of this driver-quality 1972 Pontiac Lemans 350 Sport Convertible listed it as a '73 earlier this week on Craigslist in nearby Lambertville, with...

Before You Buy, Make Sure You Get a PPI! |
At GuysWithRides, we believe a pre-purchase inspection (“PPI”) is a mandatory part of buying a collector car. A great looking car on the internet will still have its flaws and that’s why you need to insist on a PPI before you buy.
In his latest video, Rudy walks you through the PPI experience last week using GuysWithRides’ new partner, LemonSquad.com, to provide a detailed inspection on our project 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Hardtop.
