What Makes a Car a Classic?

A while back, we were strolling through rows of vintage cars and trucks at the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals, when we fell upon a near-pristine 1983 Chevy Cavalier. We loved seeing the tidy GM J-body coupe; yet, we also heard folks express a feeling of melancholy over things like the ever-expanding car field due to the Goodguys’ rolling 25-year eligibility window and the legacy of the post-1970s automobile. It got us to thinking: What defines a classic car. We even wrote an entire article dedicated to that topic on our blog, OnAllCylinders.

What are your thoughts on what truly makes a car a classic?

What's the biggest deal-breaker for you when considering a project car?

We asked our customers and social media fans this question recently. Answers, at least on Facebook, ranged from lack of clean title to excessive rust to prices and parts availability. Curious to hear what folks in the Reddit universe have to say.
