Donate Your Classic Car in
Texas.

Texas runs one of the largest classic car economies in America. The Pate Swap Meet at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth each April is the largest automotive swap meet in the Southwest — five days of vendors, cars, and parts drawing collectors from across the country. Mecum Auctions Houston each spring is one of the major Mecum events of the year. The Goodguys Lone Star Nationals in Fort Worth and the All Texas Mopars (Houston) round out the calendar. The Concours of Texas in Houston, Cars and Coffee events across the Texas Triangle, and a deep collector base in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio drive the scene year-round.

Donated classic cars from Texas span the full collector spectrum. American muscle in heavy volume — Mustangs, Camaros, Trans Ams, Chargers, Chevelles, the full lineup. Tri-Five Chevys are well-represented. Mid-century full-size American sedans and convertibles come in from across the state. Vintage pickups from ranching country (Chevy and GMC, Ford F-Series, Dodge D-Series and Power Wagon) are donated continuously in heavy volume. Texas oil-boom-era luxury cars (Cadillacs, Lincolns, Imperials, large Mercedes) come in through estate channels. The European sports car collector base in Houston, Dallas, and Austin produces Porsche, Mercedes, BMW, and the occasional Ferrari in donation channels. Dry interior Texas climate preserves sheet metal well.
