Classic Vehicles

Are you protected with an up to date appraisal that reflects the rapid increase of values over the past few years?

Do you want to be protected with more that just a points assessment by having a full explanation of every aspect of your vehicle to support the condition and value?

Classic & Collector Vehicles

 With a knowledge of classic cars as an owner and restorer, I provide appraisals that are not just accurate, but also highly informative. I know what it takes to restore a vehicle, how to identify the quality of workmanship, and how your vehicle compares to others. Besides extensive online research of price guides, comparables of for sale, auctioned, and sold vehicles, I record and watch important auctions like Mecum and Barrett Jackson to identify changes in the market. 

 

Vehicle values, parts prices, and shop labour rates have dramatically increased over the past few years. Even if your appraisal is less than 5 years old, it may be a good idea to update your insurance with the current value of your pride and joy. 

RestoMods  - Hot Rods - Rat Rods

Whether you have a Hot Rod, Rat Rod, or a RestoMod classic vehicle with custom upgrades that can include body modifications, a pro touring suspension, custom interior, a performance engine, modernized fuel injection, a modern transmission, I have the experience to determine build quality, condition, and value. 

 

Sometimes  a vehicle becomes unique and can only be built again to achieve a fair replacement. I go over the build labour and parts costs of clients vehicles and often create spreadsheet updated with current prices. Parts prices have dramatically risen since 2019. It can also make sense to update an appraisal after just a few years to account for further price increases and additional changes that you have made. Once I have appraised and documented your vehicle once, I have discounted rates for updating it with a fresh appraisal as needed.
