Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Whether your classic car is road-ready or has seen better days, we accept both. Running vehicles are easy to appraise and sell, but non-running classics can also find new life through restoration—don’t hesitate to donate even if the engine's gone quiet!
Title Issues
Having a clear title is ideal, but we can guide you through issues if they arise. Our team is familiar with local regulations regarding title transfers in Oklahoma, ensuring a smooth donation process even if you have title complications.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We know that classic cars often have unique storage needs. Whether it’s parked in a garage, under a car cover, or at an RV park near Lake Murray, we handle the logistics of pickup, making it easy for you to donate your vehicle without any hassle.
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title of your classic car in Oklahoma is a straightforward process. You’ll need to complete the Oklahoma DMV's Form 701-6, which includes the odometer reading and seller information. It’s necessary to notarize the title in the presence of a notary public, especially if you’re transferring ownership without an established dealership. Plus, don’t forget to return your old plates to the DMV! We’ll assist you with each step to ensure it’s done right, leaving nothing but good vibes in the rearview mirror.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating a classic or collector car often comes with impressive tax deductions, typically ranging from $500 to fair market value (FMV), depending on the vehicle’s condition. After the donation, we’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which details the deduction and confirms your contribution. Always consult a tax professional to understand how this affects your specific situation. Maximize your benefits while giving back!
