Why donate a classic car or vintage part?
Are you a collector looking to refine or reduce your collection? Are you interested in securing your legacy in the industry we all love by donating a significant vehicle? Are you managing an estate for a car collector? Or, are you a racer who has turned the last lap in anger and looking to see your mount do one more good turn? All of these and more might be reasons why you are thinking of donating a car or part. And all are equally good reasons to do so.
The benefits of donating
The most important and fundamental benefit of donating with us is that your collector car or rare part will support the very people needed to ensure their further enjoyment. Each donation will go directly to funding skilled trade education.
We also recognize that car people support car people – and a donation is a powerful way to give back to the community and culture we have enjoyed. While on the financial side, the potential tax benefits of donation should not be overlooked.
