For classic & muscle car owners

Inherited a classic car?
Find out what it is and what it's worth.

Send us the VIN, the trim tag and some photos. You get back a plain-English report: what the car was built as, whether the numbers match, and a value range based on sold cars like it, with the confidence stated.

Covers American classics and muscle cars from every make. You don't need to know anything about cars to use it.

  • ID check VIN & trim/cowl/fender tag decode
  • Matching numbers what to check, and what we found
  • Value range low / likely / high, from sold comps
  • Next steps the documents that would confirm it

How it works

1

Send the basics

The VIN, a photo of the trim/cowl/fender tag, and whatever photos and paperwork you have. Phone photos are fine.

2

We decode and check

We decode the VIN and tag, compare them against each other and against factory codes, and flag anything that doesn't add up.

3

Get your report

A clear PDF: what the car is, how sure we are, a value range built from comparable sales, and what to check next.

See a sample report

This is page one of a real sample report for a 1969 Chevelle. It shows the decode, a confidence rating for each finding, and a straight answer on what the VIN can and can't prove. Here, that means it can't confirm an SS 396 on its own.

The sample uses a publicly posted example VIN, for illustration only.

FAQ

Is this a certified appraisal?

No. It's an informational report. If you need a value for insurance, probate, taxes, a loan or a court, hire a certified appraiser. Our report can help you get ready for that appointment.

Which cars do you cover?

American classic and muscle cars, mainly pre-1981 cars with short manufacturer-specific VINs. We'll also look at later cars. If we can't give a useful answer, we'll tell you.

Can you prove my car is "numbers matching"?

Photos and decoded codes can show whether the numbers are consistent. Proof often needs factory documents such as a Marti Report, PHS docs or a build sheet. We'll tell you which ones apply to your car.

Where does the value range come from?

From comparable sales of similar cars, adjusted for the condition and originality you describe. We show the range and how confident we are. We don't give one number.

I don't know anything about cars. Can I still use this?

Yes. Most people who need this inherited the car or are helping a relative. We'll tell you exactly which photos to take.

What do I need to send?

The VIN, a photo of the trim/cowl/fender tag if the car has one, and general photos. Paperwork such as titles, window stickers or build sheets helps but isn't required.
