Colin’s Classic Auto has been in business since 1991, starting in a two-car garage and eventually growing into the preeminent source for those in the know around the globe. But one thing has never changed: One person, total accountability, and an uncompromising standard for quality. Colin has bought, sold, restored, appraised, and authenticated more rare, best-of-the best collector cars than most people will ever see in a lifetime. That depth of experience is why the cars here are what they are, and why Colin’s loyal customer base won’t trust anybody else. Isn’t it time to see what you’ve been missing?
CCA is proud to be a Bring a Trailer Local Partner. Our consulting and preparation services are focused on achieving the strongest possible results for every car, with a more than proven track record. Whether Colin handles the entire sale start to finish for you or just helps you through the process, Colin’s thirty plus years of buying, selling, and studying these cars means his help runs a little deeper than most. Well, actually, a lot deeper.
You wouldn’t buy a $5,000 diamond without having it certified, so please don’t buy a high-value collector car without verification that it is exactly what it claims to be. I can review its history, documentation, past and current owners, and perform in-person inspections to make sure you are getting everything you’re paying for. It’s a jungle out there, so consider me your own personal Indiana Jones.
While I may not have the car you seek in inventory, I have the connections and tenacity to find it for you out in the wild. So go on, dream big, then put me to work- if it exists I can find it, and most likely get it into your garage.
Time to sell? I’m always a top-dollar cash buyer for exceptional, rare cars of any stripe. If you have something that is the best of the best please email me some photos, a short description, a price and let’s talk!
Building or refining a collection? Let my decades of experience and market knowledge help you the same way it has helped top collectors around the world. Estate planning, buying, selling, restoring, maintenance plans, transport, rally and race support, even helping engineer dream garages- you name it, I’ve done it. And I can do it for you!
Knowing the true value of your collection, for a variety of reasons, is critically important. And, it changes often. Don’t leave anything to chance, or to an insurance company. Get a defensible, real world valuation on your prized possessions.
Let me help you with auction pre-purchase inspections, seller representation, and bidding assistance in both live and online auctions. I’ve bought and sold thousands of cars at auctions, and know how the game works. Don’t let the red mist, an auction “puppy mill” car, or a crafty auctioneer get you- use my experience to level the playing field!
Colin Comer has spent 40+ years in the collector car world, as a restorer, author, appraiser, racer, and a noted collector himself. He’s written eight celebrated automotive books, written for everybody from Road & Track to USA Today, and is the guy people like the Ford Motor Company go to when they want somebody who knows their stuff.
But this isn’t some polished marble showroom with a douchey Armani-clad sales staff flashing fake smiles and offering free cappuccinos. It’s a one-man operation where every car gets the same scrutiny Colin applies to his own collection. And he’s usually wearing his Wisconsin Tuxedo- jeans and a plaid shirt. Ok, not usually. Always.
