How pickup works
When you donate a classic car, we strive to make the pickup process as seamless as possible. For higher-value donations, we recommend using an enclosed-transport trailer to protect your vehicle during transport. Our team will work with you to coordinate a convenient pickup time, whether that means flatbed hauling or drive-away services. We’ll also handle any necessary storage-lot coordination, ensuring your prized classic is treated with the care it deserves.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated classic car can vary significantly based on several factors. Important documentation, such as the IRS Form 8283 Section B with a qualified appraisal, is necessary for determining your vehicle’s worth. Original drivetrain components, matching-numbers distinctions, and documented provenance can elevate your classic's appraisal into the $5,000+ territory. Additionally, factors like Hagerty guide pricing, auction results from Barrett-Jackson or Mecum, and even unique 'barn find' patinas can influence your vehicle's desirability among collectors.
Documentation you need
- Current title for the vehicle
- Service records detailing maintenance history
- Qualified appraisal for tax purposes
- Marti Report for Ford models
- NCRS judging documentation for Corvettes
