Projects we evaluate
We consider complete and incomplete restoration projects at nearly every stage.
- Cars awaiting restoration
- Body-off or disassembled projects
- Rollers and cars without drivetrains
- Stalled restorations
- Partially completed restomods
- Projects with boxed or loose parts
Keep the parts with the car
Original engines, transmissions, trim, glass, gauges, hardware, wheels, documentation and hard-to-find components can materially affect project value. Do not discard unidentified parts before the car is evaluated.
Should you finish the restoration before selling?
Usually it is worth understanding the current value first. Restoration labor, paint, bodywork, upholstery and mechanical costs can exceed the additional sale value, particularly when the next owner may want a different specification.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you buy unfinished restoration projects?
Yes. We evaluate stalled restorations, disassembled cars, rollers and incomplete classic-car projects.
What if the engine is out of the car?
That is fine. Photograph the engine, transmission and loose parts and tell us what is believed to belong with the vehicle.
Should I assemble the car before selling it?
Not necessarily. Contact us before spending money or time assembling a project solely for sale.
We buy and evaluate classic cars, projects, barn finds, estate vehicles, vintage trucks, and complete collections throughout California and beyond.
