What we see in this class

How pickup works

When it comes to picking up your classic car donation, we prefer to use an enclosed transport trailer to ensure your vehicle is protected during the journey. Our logistics team will coordinate with you to schedule a convenient pickup time. We can accommodate various situations—whether your car is parked in your garage, needs to be towed from a storage lot, or is ready to drive away. Just ensure that the vehicle is accessible, and we’ll handle the rest, making this process as stress-free as possible.

What drives donation value

The value of your classic car donation is influenced by several factors. A qualified appraisal is mandatory for IRS Form 8283 Section B, especially since classic cars typically appraise for $5,000 or more. Elements like documented provenance, matching-numbers status, and original drivetrain can dramatically affect value. Rare examples and those with desirable options or in excellent condition fetch higher appraisals, while unique finds with 'barn find' patina might appeal to a niche collector market. Don’t forget, certain periods and styles, such as convertibles or models with historical significance, may also carry a premium.

Documentation you need

Missouri specifics

In Missouri, it's essential to follow state regulations regarding classic car donations. Make sure the title is clear and transferred properly, as state law requires proper documentation for ownership transfer. Vehicles over a certain age may also qualify for special classification, which can be beneficial during the donation process. Be aware of state-titled vs. bill-of-sale vehicles, as this will determine how we process your donation.
