What We Buy

Vehicle types

Muscle cars and pony cars. Full-size cruisers and convertibles. Pickup trucks and panel vans. American sports cars. Imported classics. Customs, hot rods, and lowriders. If it is old and interesting, it is on our list.

Eras — no year cutoff

Most buyers draw an arbitrary line and refuse anything newer. We do not. The 1950s and 1960s icons, the 1970s muscle era, and the 1980s and 1990s specialty cars are all in scope. A 5.0 Mustang, a C4 Corvette, a first-generation Viper, a square-body pickup — those are becoming classics right now, and we buy them.

Conditions we accept

Restored

Frame-off or driver-quality restorations, finished to any standard.

Unrestored original

Original paint, original interior, honest wear. Survivors are worth a call.

Partially completed projects

Bodywork done and nothing else, or a fresh engine in a rough shell.

Stalled projects

Bought with intentions, then life happened. Very common. Still buyable.

Non-running

Seized, no engine, no transmission, no brakes. We bring a flatbed.

No title in hand

Lost title, title in a relative's name, DMV backlog — call us and we will talk through it.

Sitting for years

Flat tires, rodent damage, dead fuel system. Expected, not disqualifying.

Needs full restoration

Down to bare metal and boxes of parts is fine.

Engine out

On a stand, on the floor, or gone entirely.

Rust

Floor pans, quarters, trunk. California cars rust too, especially near the coast.

Do not spend money fixing, cleaning, or smogging anything before you call. We buy as-is, and we would rather see the car exactly as it sits.

Makes & Models We Buy

These are examples, not a closed list. If your car is not named here, it almost certainly still qualifies — call and ask.
