Canyon State Classics

Canyon State Classics is a small Mesa, Arizona dealership that sells, consigns and sources collector cars, with a lean toward European sports and luxury cars alongside American classics. The business says it was started in 2007 "to search the country for some of the finest examples of classic, vintage, and collectible vehicles." It is run by owner Jon Morley, who describes himself on the company's site as a graduate of Arizona State University's W. P. Carey School of Business and says he has sold on eBay since 2001.

How the business works

Canyon State Classics buys cars for its own stock and also takes vehicles on consignment. Both are advertised on the dealer's website and on other collector car marketplaces. It also runs a car finder service for buyers hunting a specific model. If you are interested in a particular car, ask whether the dealer owns it or is selling it for a consignor, and where it is stored; the consignment page describes an indoor, secure, climate-controlled storage facility.

What it sells

The company says it features "only the finest and well kept vehicles," from 1960s American icons such as the Cadillac DeVille and Lincoln Continental up to European cars such as the Porsche 911 and Mercedes-Benz SL series. Its stock in October 2026 included a 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, a 1965 Dodge Coronet and a 2000 Aston Martin DB7 Vantage. An archived January 2026 snapshot of the site showed a 1969 Mercedes 280SL, a 1982 Mercedes 300CD turbo diesel and a 991-generation Porsche 911 Cabriolet. The mix also includes later luxury and SUV models such as a Range Rover and a Hummer H2, so the catalog is wider than the "classic" label suggests. Listed prices on the site ran from the low $20,000s to just under $60,000 in the snapshots we saw.

Buying from Canyon State Classics

The site offers a credit application and links to several collector car finance partners, which it names as Collector Car Leaders, Woodside Credit, J.J. Best Banc and Rocket Loans. Shipping is a stated strength: the company says it can ship coast to coast and worldwide, that it is an authorized CentralDispatch.com provider, and that it owns haulers and can deliver in the Southwest and on the West Coast itself. For remote buyers, ask for a detailed video, service records and an independent inspection before sending money. The checks in our dealer buying guide apply here as well.

Consigning a car

The consignment page is specific about costs and process. The company says it charges an initial fee of $399, which includes 60 days of secure, climate-controlled storage. It lists these steps: owner sends vehicle details, the dealer evaluates and recommends a price, transport is arranged, the car gets a complimentary visual mechanical evaluation, a consignment agreement is signed, and the car receives a mini detail, a video, more than 60 photos and a write-up before it is advertised. When the car sells, the company says it handles paperwork and shipping. The page does not state the commission or what happens when the 60 days pass, so ask for the whole fee schedule in writing. Our primer on classic car consignment fees explains the usual structures and what to compare.

Reputation

The BBB gives Canyon State Classics an A+ rating, although it is not BBB accredited, and the BBB file we found sits under an earlier Tempe address. Yelp has separate Mesa and Tempe listings. Testimonials on the company's own site praise the owner's knowledge, including a Porsche 911 consignment that the writer says sold within a week, but these are selected by the business. We have not quoted a star rating because the review counts we could confirm directly were small or came only from search listings. Read recent reviews on more than one platform before you commit.

Visiting and contact

The company lists its address as 2613 W. Birchwood Circle #7, Mesa, AZ 85202, and the phone number is 480-703-2337. No opening hours are published on its site, so call ahead before visiting. To see how the dealer's cars compare with other listings, browse Arizona classic cars for sale.
