Donate a Classic, Antique, or Collector Car to Support Veteran Charities

Donating a Classic, Antique, or Collector Car
Classic, antique, and collector vehicles are the next stop in our vehicle-type series, alongside boats, motorcycles, RVs, and commercial vehicles. These cars often come with paperwork and sale considerations that look a little different from a daily driver, and our team is set up to work through them with you.
Whether you're working through an inherited collection, a garage-kept vehicle you no longer drive, or a project you picked up years ago, we accept most vehicles in this category on a case-by-case basis.
Project Cars and Unfinished Builds Are Welcome
A car that doesn't run, is partially disassembled, or is missing parts can still be donated. We evaluate every vehicle on a case-by-case basis, and an unfinished project is no exception.
If you've been holding onto a project car you know you'll never get back to, donating it is a straightforward way to put it to use instead of letting it take up space.
Title and Paperwork for Older Vehicles
Older vehicles sometimes come with title complications a newer car wouldn't have. Some pre-title-era vehicles never had a formal title at all, and a bill of sale or other state-specific documentation may be used instead.
If your title is missing, damaged, or was never issued, call us at 1-855-811-4838 and we'll walk you through what your state requires. Most states offer a path to a replacement or corrected title, and our team can help you figure out which one applies to your vehicle.
How We Sell Classic and Collector Vehicles
Classic, antique, and collector vehicles often go through specialty auction channels built for this kind of car, rather than a standard vehicle auction. That means buyers who understand the market for these vehicles are bidding on them, which can generate stronger proceeds than a typical daily-driver donation.
Car Donation Foundation d/b/a Vehicles For Veterans has contributed $202 million to charity, including organizations supporting veterans nationwide, and proceeds from vehicles like yours are part of that total.
Your Tax Deduction
Donating your vehicle can provide a tax deduction if you itemize your deductions. You never need an appraisal to donate to us.
We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about what a donation of your specific vehicle means for your return.
How to Donate Your Classic or Project Car
- Call 1-855-811-4838 or fill out our online donation form. We'll confirm whether we can accept your vehicle, evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- We'll schedule free towing at a time that works for you, wherever your vehicle is located.
- After your vehicle sells, we mail you a tax-deductible receipt. Proceeds help fund programs that support veterans nationwide.
