Hemstreet Motors

Hemstreet Motors is a licensed dealership in Warner Robins, Georgia, that sells classic, performance and specialty vehicles and takes cars on consignment. It works by appointment from an office near Robins Air Force Base and keeps its stock off-site. It is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

Who runs it

The About page names owner Michael Gibson, who grew up in Warner Robins. The company says it has worked in the classic and specialty niche for more than ten years, and calls itself state licensed, bonded and insured. The name honors his grandfather, Al Hemstreet, who the site says owned over 100 Corvettes. No founding year is published. These are the company's own statements.

How the business works

Hemstreet Motors does not run a display lot. The site says inventory is stored off-site and the office handles visits, and the contact page shows hours as by appointment. The company also describes itself as a shipping broker that will arrange delivery to your driveway, and it says it has moved more than 20 vehicles. Its stated fee is the transport cost plus $100, and it says it is not responsible for a vehicle once the carrier takes it, so check the carrier's insurance yourself.

What they sell

The inventory page lists 197 results, and the first page shows a wide mix. Older vehicles include a 1937 Chevrolet street rod, a 1947 Cadillac Series 62, a 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline, a 1955 Bel Air and a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 at $28,999. Most of the rest are performance cars from the 2000s, such as Camaros, a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, several Corvettes including a 2001 Z06, a 2003 Mustang SVT Cobra and a Cadillac CTS-V, plus a 2021 BMW M8. Featured prices on the home page ranged from about $22,999 to $44,999. If you want strictly classic cars, expect to filter, since only a minority of the stock is from before 1990.

Consignment and financing

The consignment page says sellers pay nothing until the vehicle sells. The company says it inspects the car, takes at least 40 photos, advertises on its own site and on platforms such as Autotrader, Carsforsale.com, ClassicCars.com and eBay. Contracts normally run 90 days with a fee that is either a small percentage of the price or a flat fee, and the company says most cars sell within 45 days. That is its claim, not a guarantee. See our consignment guide for how to compare these terms. On financing, the site says it works with lenders offering terms up to 10 years on classic cars, usually with 10 percent down, and quotes rates starting around 6 percent. It does not offer in-house financing.

Before you buy or consign

Because the stock is off-site and the sale is largely remote, the usual checks matter more. Ask for the title status and VIN first, then request the full photo set and any video, and arrange an independent inspection at the car's location if you cannot see it yourself. The company says it brokers shipping quotes, but you should confirm the carrier's insurance and who is responsible for damage in transit, since the dealer says its responsibility ends when the vehicle is released. For sellers, the consignment page lists what the company expects: the seller keeps the car insured, and extra charges may apply for repairs that were not disclosed. Read the contract for the fee, the term and how early termination works.
