ClassicCarGuy.com

ClassicCarGuy.com is an online classic car sales and advertising business based in San Luis Obispo, California. It lists cars it owns alongside cars owned by other sellers, and it offers inspections, escrow and transport. The site presents the business under a "Classic Car Guy" persona rather than a named owner. It is an independent business and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who they are

The company says it began in 1999 during the dot-com era and describes itself as "Serving the Classic Car Community Since 1999." The home page showed an update date of October 23, 2026 when we read it. The Better Business Bureau profile lists the business as a sole proprietorship that started in 1999 and has been BBB accredited since November 2011.

How the business works

The site says its cars are "a mixture" of vehicles it owns and vehicles owned by others. For sellers, it advertises free listings and a separate multi-website advertising package priced at $150. The consignment page says there are no fees or commissions, even when the car sells, that the car stays with the seller until paid in full, and that the seller controls the price. It lists outlets such as CarsforSale.com, ClassicCars.com, Facebook, Hemmings and AllCollectorCars. These are the company's own claims. Before listing, read the written terms, and see consigning a classic for what to ask any consignment seller.
