A Thunderbird bound for a distant club meet can have a pre-trip inspection at the Ideal Classic Cars service center, a Mustang with soft brakes can get new ones, and a street rod with a mystery rattle can be diagnosed, with oil changes for any of them. Where the car came from makes no difference, since the shop serves the public.

Paint and chrome travel best out of the weather, so we always recommend an enclosed carrier for any Ford headed out of Venice on a transporter. Outside transport firms do the hauling; we make the arrangements, the buyer foots the cost, and our team can quote your route. Our financing page lists the classic car lenders we work with; we do not finance in-house, and approval depends on your credit.

• Service appointments for any classic Ford
• Pre-trip inspections, brake jobs and noise diagnosis
• Covered transport advised for paint and chrome
• Outside classic car loans for qualified buyers
