Precious Metal Classic Car Sales

Precious Metal Classic Car Sales (also styled Precious Metal Classic Cars) is a classic car dealership at 30387 Old US 33 in Elkhart, Indiana, in the northern part of the state close to the Michigan line. The business describes itself as a family-owned and operated dealership and says it was founded to offer "the best classic, vintage and investment cars" it can find. A founding year is not published on its website or in the directories we checked, so this profile does not give one.

A dealer with its own stock

Precious Metal works as a conventional dealer. The cars on its website are owned inventory rather than consigned vehicles, and the site has no consignment program. That makes the buying process fairly direct: the car you see listed is the car the dealership holds, and you deal with the dealership itself. The company says its cars come with in-depth descriptions and strong photography, because, in its words, a large share of its customers buy online and never visit first.

What it sells

The stock leans toward American muscle and collector-grade cars. When we reviewed the site, the featured vehicles included a 1962 Buick Special customized as "the Legendary BuWicked," with a supercharged 455 cubic inch V8 and a six-speed manual, listed at $129,900. Others were a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 with a four-speed and 23,600 miles at $39,900, a 1969 Pontiac Trans Am Ram Air III four-speed marked as coming soon, and a 2002 Ford Thunderbird convertible with 8,863 miles at $25,900. Search listings also showed a 1968 Camaro restomod and a 1964 Chevelle Malibu wagon. Inventory turns over and asking prices change, so treat these as examples of the mix rather than a current list. ClassicCars.com showed four active listings for the dealer at the time of research.

Buying from Precious Metal

Because many sales happen at a distance, the practical advice is the same as for any dealer purchase. Ask for the VIN, the title status and a walk-around video, and arrange an independent inspection before you commit money. Our guide to buying from a classic car dealer covers the questions worth asking. The dealership's website does not describe a shipping program or an inspection service, so ask about transport and pre-purchase inspections directly if you are buying from out of state.

The company's finance page says it has relationships with lenders that treat collector cars as investments rather than ordinary used cars, and it offers a credit application through the site. Loan terms are not published, so confirm rates and conditions with the lender.

Selling or trading a car

The site has a "Sell us your car" page where owners submit the year, make, model, engine and transmission, body and appearance details, rebuilt items, options and known faults, along with photos. The company says the aim is to make an offer on the car, and the same form can be used to show a trade-in. It does not say how offers are calculated or how quickly it responds, so if you are weighing a sale against a consignment or a private sale, ask for the offer in writing and compare it with what similar cars have recently sold for.

Reputation

We found no Better Business Bureau profile for the dealership. Few public reviews were available, so it is better to judge the dealership on the specific car, the paperwork and an independent inspection. Further listings appear on Facebook, YouTube and several used car directories, and the dealership's own website was active in 2026.
