Kurzmann's Auto Brokerage

Kurzmann's Auto Brokerage is a Maryland business that sells classic, muscle and collector cars for their owners, mostly through online listings, while the car stays in the owner's garage. The company is independent and is not affiliated with Classic Cars Arena.

How the business works

This is a brokerage, not a traditional lot. According to the company's About page, the seller keeps the car until it is sold. The broker visits the seller, inspects the car in person, researches prior sales to establish fair market value, and handles the photos, video, advertising and buyer questions. The site says the seller is paid, and a bill of sale is signed, before the car leaves the garage, and that delivery is then arranged with the new owner. The company also says almost every car it sells goes to a buyer who has not seen it in person, with about 85% selling sight unseen and most cars selling within 30 days. These are the company's own claims.

Who is behind it

A directory profile names J.D. Kurzmann as the owner, and buyer testimonials on the site refer to "JD." The company says it has more than 20 years of experience selling on the internet. It traces the start of the brokerage to roughly 15 years ago, after the owner sold a 1963 Cadillac online. No exact founding year is published, so we do not give one.

Selling your car through it

The company's model keeps the car in the owner's garage until it sells. The site does not publish a fee or commission, so ask for the full cost in writing, including who pays for any eBay or listing charges, and whether the price reserve and minimum are agreed in advance. A broker who sells on your behalf is close to a consignment arrangement, and our article on classic car consignment fees explains the points to settle before you sign.

What it lists

When we read the Current Listings page on October 23, 2026, it showed 34 vehicles. The list was heavy on American cars and hot rods, including a 1931 Ford Model A street rod, a 1957 Chevrolet 210 street rod, a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino SS 396, a 1957 Bel Air Nomad, a 1955 Ford Thunderbird, a 1933 Packard Twelve club sedan and several Corvettes. There was also a 1966 Austin-Healey 3000 and a 1971 Oldsmobile 442 convertible. The page also included newer vehicles such as a 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo, a 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack and a 2010 Camaro, so this is not a pure vintage inventory. Prices are given in the individual ads, not on the list page. Because each car belongs to a private owner, stock changes as cars sell.

Buying a car listed here

Prices appear in eBay-style ads rather than on the listings page, and the company has an eBay store. Before you bid or send money, ask for the VIN, the title status, a walk-around video and the shipping plan, and consider an independent inspection, since most buyers will not see the car first. The company says it arranges delivery with the new owner, so confirm who is responsible for transport. Those checks apply to brokered sales as much as to dealer stock.

Reputation

We found no BBB profile. The company's eBay store showed 98.4% positive feedback and about 6,100 items sold in search listings. The testimonials page features many comments marked as verified, almost all positive. They are on the business's own site, so read them with that in mind.

Contact

The website does not publish a street address. Directories place the business in Aberdeen, while a state business filing aggregator lists the company in Bel Air. The phone number is 410-937-0719, and the site offers a contact form. A directory profile lists the email [email protected]. No business hours are posted, so call or write before you plan any visit.
