What does an avid classic auto fan who loves web design do with his spare time? You're looking at it. I've spent over 10 years now designing, testing, and redesigning my "Timeless" websites devoted to helping buyers and sellers in the classic auto market. I'm very proud to offer this COMPLETELY FREE website to collector vehicle sellers and buyers.
Here’s a quick historical rundown of my little project. I graduated with a degree in Information Management, and my first real job was with Hollander, helping manage their automotive parts interchange database. Layoffs happened a few years into the gig before the company was sold, and I found myself working at another software company, but it was not in the automotive industry.
I have always been fascinated with older cars, but due to many constraints in life such as family, travel, and storage I have not been able to have my own (except for a small stint owning a 1964 Ford Galaxie XL500, which I wlll have to blog about the crazy stories with that ride soon). So the little time I did have for myself, I used it on my hobby of web design, and created Timeless Rides. Over the years I have introduced free classified ads, and when I do have time I blog on the historical aspect of cars.
"Why is your website free to post Ads", or "how do you make money"?
I receive emails weekly asking me this. To answer the the first question, ads are currently free (up to 3) for all users, as this site is still a "work in progress", and I consider it a "start up". I may look into monetizing with dealers down the road, but for now I'm still building the site.
As for how do I make money off the site, well I don't. There's a few basic ads on the site, but they don't pay all the hosting bills and at this time I'm considering this my "hobby" site until I feel it is ready for the next level
