Laguna Classic Cars

Laguna Classic Cars, which also trades as Laguna Classic Cars & Automotive Art, is a California-licensed classic car dealer at 2171 Laguna Canyon Road in Laguna Beach, Orange County. The business was created by Andy and Beth Coyle, who the company describes as long-time Laguna residents. It sells collector cars and trucks from its own stock, takes cars on consignment, and says it also buys vehicles outright from owners.

Who they are

The company's own About page says it was established in 2011, while the Better Business Bureau lists the business as started on November 26, 2013, with its BBB file opened in 2016. Dates on public listings often differ in this way, so treat the exact founding year as approximate. The BBB names Andrews J. Coyle as the owner.

According to the company, Andy Coyle began in the car business giving tours at Ford's River Rouge manufacturing complex in Dearborn, Michigan, then held sales and marketing roles with Lincoln Mercury before moving to Southern California, where he managed and owned car and RV dealerships. The About page also lists racing experience in SCCA Cal Club, the International Road Racing Association, and the NASCAR Winston West and Super Late Model series. The company calls itself a licensed, bonded and insured California dealer.

What they sell

The company says it focuses on high-quality specialty cars from local collectors, delivered worldwide. The stock is a mix of American and European cars rather than a single marque. A check of its ClassicCars.com dealer page in October 2026 showed 16 vehicles, including:

• a 1967 Porsche 912 at $89,500
• a 1977 Porsche 911 at $64,995
• a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle at $59,995
• a 1967 Ford Mustang at $54,995 and a 1965 Ford Mustang at $49,995
• a 1940 Ford Deluxe at $54,500
• a 1964 Ford Thunderbird at $26,500

Consigning a car

Consignment is a core part of the business. Its consignment page describes a flat fee of 10 to 20 percent, depending on the vehicle's value, and says there is no cost to the owner if the car does not sell. The company also says it pays for advertising on more than 10 collector car websites and displays consigned cars at its Laguna Beach location.

Fee percentages and conditions can change, so confirm them in writing before signing an agreement.

Selling your car outright

A separate page on the company's site, titled "Sell us your car," says it is an immediate buyer of cars built before 1975. It lists a preference for European and American cars, along with Asian makes, convertibles, coupes and wagons, in mostly original condition or as resto-mods. The company says it weighs color, options, condition and vehicle history before making an offer, that it writes a check within an hour of agreeing on a price, and that it handles the paperwork. It also lists pickup and a complimentary shuttle to a seller's home or office.

Buying from Laguna Classic Cars

The dealer's published material describes selling cars to buyers worldwide, but the pages we could read do not set out a financing program, a shipping process or an inspection policy. If you are buying from a distance, ask what documentation, photos and videos are available, request the VIN and title status, and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before sending money. Ask directly how delivery would be handled and who is responsible for it.

Reputation

The BBB rates the business A+. It is not BBB accredited, and the profile shows no complaints closed in the last three years and no customer reviews on the BBB site. On Yelp, a listing updated in September 2026 showed 41 reviews and an average of roughly 3.9 stars. As with any dealer, a rating summary is a starting point: read recent reviews, and judge the specific car and the paperwork in front of you.

Visiting and contact

The dealership is at 2171 Laguna Canyon Rd, Laguna Beach, CA 92651, and its phone number is (949) 715-4555. Opening hours are not confirmed on the company's own site pages we could read, so call ahead before visiting to confirm that a particular car is available to see.
