Frequently Asked Questions
Generally speaking, a classic American car is a domestic vehicle that is at least 20 years old and recognized for its historical significance, collectibility, or cultural impact. Many enthusiasts and organizations like the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) have more specific criteria — for instance, the CCCA designates certain vehicles from 1915–1948 as “Full Classics.” We carry a broad range of collectible American-made vehicles, so feel free to ask us how any specific car is classified.
Every vehicle we sell comes with a clean, clear title. We perform thorough title searches before listing any car, so you can buy with confidence knowing there are no outstanding loans, liens, or legal encumbrances attached to the vehicle.
Absolutely, and we encourage it. We can coordinate with reputable third-party inspection services on your behalf, but you’re welcome to do so yourself or with a mechanic.
Yes. Terms, rates, and eligibility will vary depending on the vehicle’s value, age, and your credit profile. Contact us and we’ll connect you with the right lending partner for your situation.
The first 500 miles is on us!
We work with a network of trusted enclosed auto transport companies across the country. Enclosed transport is strongly recommended for classic and collector vehicles, as it protects against road debris, weather, and UV exposure during transit. We can handle all the logistics for you. Delivery timelines typically range from a few days to two weeks depending on distance.
Carrier liability during transport is typically limited, and we strongly recommend securing a dedicated collector car insurance policy before your vehicle ships. We’re happy to discuss options with you before your purchase ships.
We do both. If you have a classic or collector vehicle you’d like to trade toward a purchase or sell outright, we’d love to take a look. Send us photos, a description, the mileage, and any relevant history or documentation, and we’ll come back to you with a fair evaluation. We’re particularly interested in well-documented, numbers-matching, or low-mileage examples.
A complete sale will include the clean title, a bill of sale, and any documentation the previous owner provided — such as build sheets, Protect-O-Plate cards (for certain GM vehicles), window stickers, broadcast sheets, restoration receipts, and service records. The more paperwork that comes with a classic car, the better, as documentation significantly supports the vehicle’s value and authenticity. We note all available documentation clearly in each listing.
