2

Find your classic & open its Vehicle Package

Search our inventory and open any listing to review its full Vehicle Package before you commit: a complete specifications sheet, the car’s photos, and our 168-Point Inspection Report recording what is original, what was replaced and what was repaired. On a car this age the inspection report is the history — CARFAX holds no records for most pre-1981 vehicles, so we do not pretend otherwise.

Sign ownership docs & get it delivered

After your payment clears, we send your Bill of Sale and any required disclosures through DocuSign and put the title in your name. Our logistics team then schedules transport — open or fully enclosed, whichever you chose — proposes a date and time window for your approval, and keeps you posted until it arrives.

Title in your name Open or enclosed Photographed before loading
After delivery you’re still protected — every purchase comes with a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee and a 90-Day Limited Warranty. More on that below.

Classic car specifications and originality sheet
Every listing

Know what is original before you bid

On a classic, the questions are different: what is original, what was replaced, and where is the rust. Its Vehicle Package answers those in writing before you commit a single dollar.

  • Full specifications — year, engine, transmission, drivetrain and known options
  • High-resolution photos of the actual car, including underneath
  • Originality notes — what is original, what was replaced, what was repaired
  • 168-Point Inspection Report, with structure and corrosion recorded

Money-back guarantee

On an older car, originality and corrosion matter more than a road test. Our 168-point inspection is built around that, and anything we find is disclosed up front. Typical service includes:

Pre-delivery & maintenance inspection
Fluids checked, topped or changed
Brakes inspected front & rear
Battery & charging system checked
Cooling system pressure-checked for leaks
Tires inspected for age & cracking
Fuel system checked for varnish & leaks
Wiring, lighting & grounds checked
Floors, sills & structure checked for rust
Originality documented, replacements noted
Engine & transmission checked
Left unwashed — you decide what touches the paint
Simple, secure payment

Pay safely by bank wire transfer

Classics are paid in full by bank wire transfer — a secure, traceable way to move larger amounts. Everything you need is on your official invoice.

  • Your invoice lists the bank name, account & routing numbers and a unique Payment Reference
  • Send the wire online through your bank using the details on your invoice

Delivered open or fully enclosed — your call

Once your Bill of Sale is signed, we quote both open and enclosed transport, you pick, and we propose a delivery date and time window for your approval.

  • Both transport prices are shown up front before you choose — nothing added later
  • Photographed before loading, so its condition on pickup day is on record
  • Secured with soft straps over the tires, never chained to the frame
  • You compare the car against those photographs before you sign for it
  • We deliver throughout the continental US (not Alaska or Hawaii)

Common questions

Buying, answered

A few of the questions new buyers ask most. For everything else, visit the full Help Center.

No. You can buy directly from us, entirely online, with no dealer license required.
No buyer deposit, ever. You only pay for what you actually purchase — and new members start with a free 1-year Trial.
None. Your total is the purchase price plus transportation. We do not add sales tax, title, registration or processing fees — you handle state tax and registration locally.
Usually not. CARFAX holds almost no records for vehicles built before roughly 1981, so rather than link an empty report we put the work into our own 168-Point Inspection Report — which records originality, past repairs and corrosion in writing.
Open transport is the standard option and costs noticeably less. A fully enclosed trailer is available and quoted separately, so you can see both prices and decide. Either way it is photographed before loading and secured over the tires.
You are covered by a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee — return it for any reason within 30 days of delivery. Every purchase also includes a 90-Day Limited Warranty, good for 90 days or 500 miles.
