1. Business cards are classy and cheap as a leave-behind
2. Make a web site for your car or a YouTube video, put the link on the bizcard. List all the details elsewhere and just put a good photo and "see specs" as the link.
3. Put some nice rope around it, but leave an inviting opening to enter and view and touch. This sets it apart as a "special one." Also an EZ-up tent to keep it in the shade if you got one
4. Red carpets by the doors, or put the whole care on a roll of astroturf carpet
5. Wash it? ;-)

Sounds like Mike has done this before. Good luck Bob.
Print up some one-page fliers with all the details of the car/engine/extras and a few color pictures plus all your contact info. Put 'em on the driver's seat (your top's down, of course).
If you're going to wander away from your vehicle to look at other cars, be sure to put a visible sign on the windshield showing your cell number, letting lookers know you're on site and available for questions.
Personally, I'd skip the "nice rope around it" or the EZ-up. Just makes it harder to walk around the car IMO.
Also, I wouldn't plunk down a lawn chair right next to the car and sit there, either. I think allowing folks clear access to your car lets them have a better look. With the owner sitting right there, it can be inhibiting.
Set up your chair nearby, keep an eye on the car, and if someone looks really interested, wander over and strike up a conversation.

How about a couple of "don'ts"...
DON'T park it next to the bathrooms.
DON'T have Ernie standing next to it in a bathing suit. ;-)

Bob, you could put a mirror (the hang-on-the-wall type) under the rear apron so people can see the clean underside of the engine.
I agree with most of the above, also. Especially the rope-it-off idea.
Good luck!

How about some overkill...just print some damn fliers with all the pertinent info and the joy of owning one of these beauties, and be done with it...
No ropes, mirrors, tents, or hawking....and don't act to motavated..
Like humping the guys leg, etc...

Vince will only leg hump for beehives :)
Don't bother telling a perspective Buyer the facts (most are easily bored) Do address the benefits of ownership ~
Bob, coming from a sales background ALL my life... Sell the sizzle my friend! Screw the facts that comes later when you've hook'm.. first you have to close them, get them emotional & excited about driving it & owning it, tell them all the attention it gets at every freaking corner you drive up too! I have yet to find ANYONE that has NOT smiled at me or waved a thumbs-up at the tub. For the most part where ALL attention whores here, and if he or she fits the bill that will be enough to get them hooked... period! THEN you can talk about the speeds and feeds my friend!
Good luck!
Good luck!
