ClassicMuscleCars.com Hosts World's Most Watched Classic Muscle Car Salesman


WAUCONDA, Ill.; Feb. 2, 2005 --- NICAB and Classicmusclecars.com today announced that according to the classicmusclecars.com website statistics, Tony Begley is undoubtedly the most watched car salesman on video in the world. Visitors from the U.S. and 146 countries around the world have watched an astounding daily average of 659 videos viewed per day and over 100 hours of streaming video in that 24-hour period. Begley's videos range from seven to 30 minutes.

Classicmusclecars.com sells classic muscle cars via the Internet through videos hosted by Begley, owner and founder of North Illinois Classic Auto Brokers(NICAB), located in Wauconda, Ill. He has sold cars to Australia, Taiwan, Japan, England, Norway, Denmark and Canada from his videos. He gets fan e-mail daily from gearheads worldwide.

Classicmusclecars.com sells '60s through '70s classic muscle cars, and the company has been in business for 27 years. NICAB started producing and putting up videos on its website in April of 2003. Begley said, "Videos, which sell like infomercials on the Internet, will be the new wave of the future for e-commerce-based websites. We use our videos as sales tools to educate our viewers as to what to look for in a classic muscle car and which ones are the best investments. Most of our clients that buy cars from our videos never physically view our cars. I do not personally get to meet them, but they get to meet me through my videos." 

Last year 1 million people visited classicmusclecars.com. Currently, the website has over 200 videos of Begley and his cars that can be viewed on dial-up and high-speed/broadband Internet connections. NICAB projects that over a quarter-million videos will be viewed from its website in 2005.
