Legendary Motors

Legendary Motors LLC is a classic car dealer at 28 Forest Ridge Drive in Rowley, Massachusetts, on the North Shore near the New Hampshire line. The business describes itself as owned and operated by people with a passion for collector cars, antique and muscle cars, hot rods and motorcycles. We could not find a founding year published by the company, so this profile does not state how long it has been operating.

How the business works

Legendary Motors sells cars from its own inventory and also takes vehicles on consignment. Its "Sell Your Classic" page says the company will advertise a customer's car on its website and elsewhere, though the pages we reviewed did not publish commission rates or other terms. Its about page says the company wants to take time with each customer, whether they are buying, selling or consigning, and that it has "valuable connections nationally and internationally." The same page says its goal is to help customers reach everything from a show winner to a car to cruise in, within their budget.

What Legendary Motors sells

The inventory mixes older classics with some newer cars. Recent listings on its homepage included a 1965 Corvair Monza, a 1962 Corvette, a 1960 Pontiac Bonneville, a 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, a 1965 Superformance Cobra replica and an MGB, along with a few late model cars such as a 2022 Shelby GT500 and a 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43. The site also has separate pages for motorcycles and for sold vehicles. Inventory changes often. To compare against the wider market, see Massachusetts classic cars for sale.

Buying from Legendary Motors

Legendary Motors does not describe its own lending. Its finance page recommends three outside lenders: J.J. Best Banc & Co, Collector Car Lending and Woodside Credit. Buyers who want to consider a loan can contact those lenders directly or ask the dealer for guidance. As with any dealer purchase, ask for the title status, request detailed photos and service records, and consider an independent inspection before you commit.

Selling or consigning a car

Owners can use the "Sell Your Classic" page to start a conversation about consigning. Since fees and terms are not posted, ask for them in writing and find out how long the agreement lasts and who pays for advertising and detailing. Our overview of consigning a classic covers the questions worth asking.

Appraisals

Legendary Motors says it is an authorized franchisee of Auto Appraisal Network and offers written appraisals for classic and antique cars, hot rods and motorcycles. The site lists uses such as insurance coverage, diminished value, estate settlement and fair market value. Its appraisal page names Tom Mannetta as the contact.
