How pickup works
When it comes to picking up your classic car donation, we take care of all the details to ensure a smooth process. For higher-value vehicles, we strongly prefer using an enclosed-transport trailer to safeguard your car during transport. Our team will work with you to schedule a convenient pickup time, whether that means we come to your location or coordinate with a local storage lot. We’ll carefully inspect the vehicle on-site to verify its condition and confirm VIN documentation. If your car has a rich service history or any unique features, sharing that information during the pickup will help us maximize its value for our mission.
What drives donation value
The value of classic car donations can vary significantly based on several factors. Cars that retain their original drivetrain and are verified as matching-numbers typically appreciate quicker than their restomod counterparts. Having well-documented provenance and service records can greatly enhance your car’s appraisal, especially when executed through a qualified appraiser with IRS Form 8283 Section B required. Furthermore, current market trends and auction results from prominent events like Barrett-Jackson or Mecum can influence pricing, while distinctive features such as color or model history can also drive value. Whether your car is a 'barn find' with patina or has been meticulously restored, it all plays a part in determining its worth.
Documentation you need
- Current vehicle title
- Service records and documentation
- Qualified appraisal for IRS Form 8283 Section B
- Marti Report for Fords or NCRS judging for Corvettes

Phoenix specifics
Phoenix, AZ, is home to a vibrant classic car community, but it’s important to understand DMV rules specific to vehicle donations. Typically, donated vehicles must be titled in your name to complete the transfer. As an Arizona resident, you may also have the option to provide a bill of sale for vehicles that do not have a clear title. It’s essential to have all your documentation in order so that the donation process is seamless. This ensures compliance with state regulations while making your generous gift as impactful as possible.
