About ClassicCarDonation.org

Who We Are

ClassicCarDonation.org is a program of Salute Veterans Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to connecting U.S. veterans with the resources they have earned. We operate Veterans Directory — a free, comprehensive directory of nearly 2,000 veteran resources spanning housing, mental health, legal aid, employment, education, and financial assistance.

Classic car donations are among the most impactful ways supporters can fund our mission. Collector vehicles often carry significant value — meaning a single donation can fund veteran programs for months.

What We Accept

ClassicCarDonation.org accepts vintage and collector vehicles of every type and condition:

• American muscle cars — Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, GTOs, Chargers, and more
• Classic trucks and pickups from any era
• Hot rods, custom builds, and rat rods
• European sports cars — Porsche, Ferrari, Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Austin-Healey
• Antique and pre-war vehicles
• Barn finds and long-term storage vehicles
• Project cars and incomplete restorations
• Non-running vehicles with clear title

Our Organization

How Donations Are Processed

Classic car donations submitted through ClassicCarDonation.org are processed through our vehicle donation program. After pickup and transport, vehicles are sold through auction. Proceeds, after standard processing costs, are directed to Salute Veterans Inc. to fund veteran programs and VeteransDirectory.org.

Donors receive an IRS-compliant tax receipt within 45 days of the vehicle's sale. For vehicles selling above $500 — which covers virtually all classic cars — donors receive IRS Form 1098-C, the documentation required for higher-value vehicle deductions.

Transparency

Salute Veterans Inc. holds the Candid Gold Seal of Transparency — awarded to nonprofits that meet the highest standards of financial disclosure and public accountability.
