Rudy's Classic Auto
In a not-so-easy-to-find location about 5 1/2 miles north of Harvard, Nebraska, Zack Rudy combines an old-time junkyard and his internet know-how to find parts for his customers. And when the NRCA's Lin Hoskins was searching for a tailgate for his 1965 Chevy wagon without success, Zack's business Rudy's Classic Auto found him one. Specializing in pre-1975 classic cars, trucks, and parts, Rudy's Classic Auto sells everything from a lug nut to a complete car. There are around 200 vehicles in inventory, plus thousands of separate parts including thousands of NOS parts of all makes. The full-service "midwest connection" for classic parts, Rudy's can pull, pack, and ship/freight most anywhere. They have sold parts in every state in the U.S., and in over 20 different countries around the world. Zack was raised in the Harvard, Nebraska area, and grew up with a great respect of classic autos. His father Dave Rudy was knowledgeable on the makes and models of classic autos, and always told him "what things were." Zack always grasped that knowledge, and as time went on his side work became buying, selling, salvaging, and farm cleanups. As a part of his salvaging side work , he would regularly get old cars and trucks in, and learned fast there was opportunity in selling parts. So he took the leap of starting his own business, Rudy Enterprises LLC. That was nearly a decade ago and he hasn't looked back, he gets more time at home and is able to grow the tribe to four kids, a son and three girls. "The thing I love the most about my job is the people and the car culture. A deal on a handshake, making connections and friends, talking to people halfway around the world as they eat breakfast while I'm fighting my kids to go to bed. I love the chase or hunt for inventory, it's exciting to find and retrieve classics. My biggest motto is 'You can't sell it if you don't have it,' a motto my wife has come to embrace after long days at sales or traveling. Nothing surprises her anymore." "My business hours change as I have no set hours, the busiest times are nights, weekends, and holiday weekends. One of the nicest things about the business is being there with my kids, my wife works two or three days a week, and it's Daddy Daycare those days. It's second nature to my kids having 200 cars in the yard, and the lifestyle. Overall business is going well, and I don't see me changing my profession anytime soon, so I will be here for all your classic auto needs!" Zack is always looking for cars, trucks, grain trucks, old irrigation motors, parts collections, NOS parts, and advertising. He's willing to buy one to 100 vehicles, and no parts collection is too big — he's always looking to expand inventory. So give him a call with your needs.
