Classic Cars in Kuwait

The car market in Kuwait is equipped with a vast array of new, modern cars. Yet, owning a classic car in Kuwait is a unique and rewarding experience. No matter how many new cars are produced every year, it seems like vintage cars have a large fan base in the country.

 

Car enthusiasts consider cars manufactured 20 to 30 years ago or older to be classics. This timeframe encompasses vehicles from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s, capturing two distinct eras in automotive history:

 

The mid-1970s and earlier

This era is known for powerful “muscle cars” like the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. Even though stricter rules were later put in place to limit how much pollution cars could cause, these cars are still prized for their raw power and classic look.

 

Late 1970s to late 1990s

As technology improved, cars became more fuel-efficient and easier to handle. This era saw the rise of “electronic fuel injection” which made cars perform better. This period is also known for the rise of popular Japanese sports cars like the Nissan Skyline and Toyota Supra, while European luxury brands like Mercedes-Benz and Porsche continued to innovate and refine their designs.

How to make sure you are getting a gem?

Are you looking for a classic car for sale in Kuwait, here’s how to make sure you are getting a gem:

 

Ask about service records

A complete set of service records is a goldmine. Look for consistent maintenance over the years, with details like oil changes, repairs, and part replacements documented. Often, knowing how many owners the car has had can be a good indicator of its condition.

 

Inspect the car carefully

Mechanics are skilled at detecting unusual noises, checking for leaks, and assessing the overall health of the engine. While electrical problems can be tricky to diagnose. The mechanic will check the functionality of lights, gauges, and electrical components to ensure everything is working properly.

 

Ensure the engine and chassis numbers match

Locate the engine and chassis number on the car itself (usually on a plate on the engine block and frame) and compare them to the numbers on the registration documents. Matching numbers ensure the engine and chassis haven’t been swapped, which can indicate past issues or tampering.

 

Test drive the car

If possible, take the classic car for a test drive. Pay attention to its performance, handling, and any unusual noises or vibrations. It will give you a better sense of the car’s overall condition.

 

Negotiate with the seller

Sellers of vintage cars are generally more open to negotiations. Once you’ve completed your inspection and test drive, you’ll have a much clearer understanding of the car’s condition and value.
