Singleton Classics

Singleton Classics is a classic and exotic car dealer in Costa Mesa, in Orange County, California. It sits next to the Singleton Collection, a private collection of historic American automobiles, and sells and consigns collector vehicles by appointment from 2995 Airway Avenue. Its team page lists Will Singleton as the founder. Older directory listings, including ClassicCars.com, have shown a different street address, so use the Airway Avenue address on the company's own site.

Who they are

The company says it was founded to create a top-tier setting for people who want to buy a classic automobile, and promises professional, informed and friendly guidance through the purchase. A 2023 Orange County Business Journal article describes how Will and Cary Singleton bought a Costa Mesa building that had previously hosted another collector's cars, turned it into the 35,000 square foot Singleton Collection with 48 classic American vehicles, and also ran a dealership for older vehicles called Singleton Classics. Some directories give 2023 as the founding year. We could not verify that date, but the article confirms the dealership existed by October 2023.

How the business works

Singleton Classics sells vehicles on its own account and takes cars on consignment. Its About page also says it buys vehicles outright, using the term wholesale purchasing, for owners who want to sell one car or an entire collection. The team page lists a sales manager, several technicians and an event coordinator, and one search listing describes the premises as a venue for events as well as sales. The pages we could read focus on sales and consignment, so ask the company directly about any storage or event services.

What they sell

The stock mixes pre-war American classics with European sports and luxury cars. In October 2026 the company's home page featured a 1939 Lagonda V12 at $479,000 and a 1969 Porsche 911 priced on request. Its six vehicles on ClassicCars.com also included a 1930 Cadillac Model 353 All-Weather Phaeton, a 1956 Oldsmobile 98, a 1957 Jaguar XK140 and a 1965 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GTA. The company calls its selection curated and says it offers global expertise. Listings change, so treat these as examples.

Consigning with Singleton Classics

The consignment page lays out a four-step process:

• Vehicle preparation: detailing and advice on any repairs needed before sale.
• Pricing and agreement: a suggested price based on market data and the car's condition, then a written consignment agreement that sets out the fees and the expected return.
• Marketing and display: professional photography, online listings on its own site and other platforms, and display in its showroom.
• Sale and payment: the company handles negotiations, paperwork and the transfer of ownership, then pays the owner minus its consignment fee.

Fee levels are not published. For more on what to look for in an agreement, including the term, any minimum price and who pays for transport and insurance, read our consignment guide.

Buying from Singleton Classics

The company does not publish details on financing, shipping or inspections on the pages we could open, so ask about each before you commit. That is especially important for a high-value car bought from out of state. Request the VIN, title status, service history and a detailed condition report, and arrange an independent inspection where you can.

Reputation and visiting

Singleton Classics is a relatively new operation, and we found no BBB profile. A Yelp page for the business listed about 40 reviews in August 2026, but we could not open the page to confirm the star rating, so we do not quote one. The company is at 2995 Airway Ave, Costa Mesa, CA 92626, and its contact page says visits are by appointment only. The phone number is (714) 426-0238.
