American Steel Classics

American Steel Classics is a classic car dealer in Celeste, a small town in Hunt County northeast of Dallas, that specializes in Mopar muscle cars from the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is the sales side of Mopars5150, a car-hunting and restoration operation known on YouTube and Instagram for pulling Plymouths and Dodges out of barns and fields. Its stock runs from unrestored project cars to rare, fully restored examples.

From Mopars5150 to a dealership

The company tells its own origin story plainly: it started as Mopars5150, buying, saving and building a large volume of classic cars, and ended up with more cars than it could keep. American Steel Classics was set up to sell that surplus. According to the Mopars5150 website, the operation began when its founder started an Instagram page to share the cars he and a friend were saving, taking its name from the California police code for a person who is out of control. It now describes itself as a coast-to-coast business with its original base in Northern California, a small shop in North Texas and a larger fabrication shop in North Georgia that does sheet metal and structural repair on Mopars.

Texas records list American Steel Classics as a trading name of Mopars5150 Inc., a California company, with the name registered in Texas in 2020. The Mopars5150 YouTube channel had about 27,000 subscribers and 600 videos when we checked, and the group has hosted car shows at the Celeste location.

What American Steel Classics sells

Plymouth and Dodge dominate. In early October 2026 the dealer's main website showed 27 vehicles, led by a 1970 Plymouth Superbird at $249,000 and a 1969 Dodge Daytona priced on request, along with 1970 and 1971 Barracudas and 'Cudas, 1970 Road Runners, a 1967 GTX, a 1968 Charger R/T and a 1971 Challenger. A separate projects page lists cars needing restoration, such as a 1968 Coronet R/T, several 1969 Charger R/T SE cars and early 1970s Road Runners and GTXs.

It is not Mopar only. A second website and its ClassicCars.com account, each with 58 listings, also include Chevrolet Camaros, Chevelles and Impalas, a few restomods and a 2018 Challenger Hellcat Widebody. Prices on ClassicCars.com ranged from $12,500 to $179,900. Shoppers focused on the brand can compare more Mopar muscle cars for sale.

Buying from American Steel Classics

The dealer points buyers to three collector car lenders, J.J. Best Banc & Co, Collector Car Lending and Woodside Credit: you apply directly, get pre-approved, then agree a deal with the dealer. Its sites say it works with transport companies to ship cars, and online reviews mention help with shipping and large sets of photos for remote buyers. The company also offers a vehicle sourcing service for buyers hunting a specific car.

Several cars here are unrestored or project cars, and rare Mopars carry big price premiums, so ask for the VIN, fender tag and broadcast sheet details where relevant, and get an independent inspection before paying. Our guide to buying from a classic car dealer walks through the steps.

Selling your car

American Steel Classics buys cars outright. Sellers fill in an online form, the team reviews it and calls to discuss, and if a price is agreed the company sends the paperwork and arranges transport to one of its locations. Its sourcing page adds that "selective realistic consignments will be considered," but consignment is not a main part of the business.

Reputation and online presence

We found no BBB profile for the business. On Birdeye, which collects its Google reviews, it had a 4.6 star average from 18 reviews when we checked, with reviewers praising communication, detailed photos and fair pricing. That is a small sample, so weigh it accordingly. One of the dealer's two websites carries mostly generic template text, including a claim of 20 years in business that does not match its own origin story, so rely on the inventory details and on direct conversation rather than that page.

Location and contact

The dealership is at 102 N. 2nd Street, Celeste, TX 75423, and both of its websites list the phone number (469) 304-0420. Some directories still show an older address in Allen, Texas. The two websites give different opening hours, so call ahead before visiting to see a particular car.
