Get Paid for the Sellers and Dealers You Send Us

You know people who are about to sell a classic car, and maybe a dealer or two who should be listing with us. Send them to Classic Cars Arena with your link and earn 25% of every listing they buy, plus 20% of a dealer's subscription for their first 12 months. It's free to join, your dashboard shows every click and sale, and you're paid by PayPal.

In a video description, a club newsletter, a forum post, an email to a customer. It works on any page of the site.

Step 3
They sign up or buy

Step 4
You get paid

Commissions confirm after 30 days. From $50 you request a payout and we pay you by PayPal.

Who it's for

Creators

YouTube channels, podcasts and social accounts about classic cars, restorations and road trips.

Clubs and forums

Marque clubs, regional car clubs and forums whose members buy and sell cars among themselves.

Shops

Restoration, body, upholstery and detailing shops that finish a car and hear "now I'm going to sell it".

Transport, inspection, appraisal

The people sellers already call before a sale. A link in your quote or your follow-up email is enough.

Dealers and consultants

Know a dealership that should be online with its inventory? Their subscription pays you every month for a year.

Writers

Blogs and newsletters about the hobby, collecting and the classic car market.

Why it's easy to recommend

  • 8,885 classic cars and trucks listed right now, from private owners and dealers across the United States.
  • One price for a listing, no cut of the sale. We don't charge success fees or sales commissions.
  • Listing takes minutes. Add photos, a description and a price, and you're live.
  • Dealer plans are month-to-month, with no setup fees and inventory import included.

The rules

  • Say that you earn a commission when you share your link, as the FTC requires.
  • No paid ads of any kind, including bids on "Classic Cars Arena" or its misspellings. Commissions from paid-ad traffic are removed.
  • No coupon, cashback or incentive sites, and no spam.
  • No commission on your own purchases or on customers who were already with us.

We review every payout before we pay it, and commissions that break these rules are removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Signing up is free, there is nothing to buy and no minimum you have to reach to stay in the program.
Your link carries your partner code (?cca=yourcode). When someone opens it we remember your code for 60 days, so they can sign up or buy a listing later and you still get the credit. If they click another partner's link before signing up, the most recent link wins.
Yes. Add ?cca=yourcode to any Classic Cars Arena address: a listing, a make or model page, a buying guide. It counts the same as the home page link.
25% of every listing package and upgrade your customers buy, and 20% of a dealer's subscription payments for their first 12 months. The percentage is taken from what the customer actually paid, after any discount. Not included: privately negotiated dealer offers, the Ad-Free subscription and payments under $5.
Each commission is confirmed 30 days after the sale. Once your confirmed balance reaches $50, request a payout from your partner dashboard; we review it and pay you by PayPal.
If a payment is refunded or charged back, the commission on it is removed. Refunds are rare: listing packages are generally non-refundable once live.
In your partner dashboard: clicks, sign-ups, paying customers, commissions and payouts, updated as they happen. It runs on Partnero, our affiliate platform, at cca-partners.partneroapp.com.
Before your first payout we ask US partners for a W-9 and partners outside the US for a W-8BEN, uploaded in your partner dashboard.
No. Commissions are for customers you bring in, not for your own purchases.
