Florida is one of the top three classic car states in America. The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance each March (with Gooding, RM Sotheby's, and Bonhams auctions surrounding it) is one of the world's premier collector car events. Mecum Auctions Kissimmee in January is the largest collector car auction by volume — over 3,500 cars cross the block. The Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach Gardens each January is the world's premier Ferrari event. Sebring International Raceway has anchored vintage sports car racing for decades. Florida's snowbird population brings classic cars south from every state in the country, and many stay permanently when owners do.
Donated classic cars from Florida span every category. American muscle from snowbird collections (relocated from Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York) is heavily represented. Mercedes SLs, Porsche 911s and 356s, MGs, Triumphs, Austin-Healeys, and Jaguars from older retirees come in continuously. Pre-war classics that retired with their owners to Florida appear in estate channels. Convertibles dominate the donation mix more than in any northern state — open cars suit Florida weather and a high percentage of donated vehicles are top-down classics. Salt-air corrosion ages coastal Florida cars faster than inland, but condition does not disqualify a donation.
Call 1-888-324-2772 or use the Florida donation form with year, make, model, and a brief note on condition and location. Most classic cars are accepted on the first call.
