American classics for stands and retailers.
We buy in the USA with an American dealer license and access to thousands of cars in every state, we bring them in containers and clear customs in Portugal. When the vehicle arrives to you, it's already cleared through customs and with complete documentation. No Dutch wholesaler in the middle, no accumulated margins.
For professionals
The problem faced by those who resell American classics in Europe.
The car leaves an American dealer, passes through a Dutch wholesaler, then a European reseller, and only then reaches you. Each stage adds its markup, and none of them saw the car before you. That's why a classic car bought in Rotterdam arrives expensive and with an incomplete history.
We buy directly from the source. The American dealer license of SALVAGE MOTORS LLC (Arkansas State Police, No. M-13632) gives us direct access, in every state, to private auctions, classic car dealers, and private owners. One step, one margin.
