Dusty Cars, a California-based valuation and buying service for classic vehicles, has announced new inventory of classic Porsche, Jaguar, and Alfa Romeo cars available for sale. The company specializes in scouring the Western United States for classic vehicles to value and provide cash offers, with December and January traditionally showing increased activity in the classic car market.
According to Douglas Berry, owner of Dusty Cars, the end of the year typically motivates car owners to evaluate whether to sell their vehicles. "Every time the end of the year comes around, we get calls from car owners who are ready to find out what their car is worth, and possibly sell to us for a fast and fair cash offer," Berry explained. This seasonal trend reflects broader patterns in the classic car ecosystem where collectors often consider upgrading or changing their collections as the new year approaches.
The company's new inventory includes several notable vehicles that may interest collectors and investors. A 1968 Porsche 912 Karmann Coupe features refurbished original parts and has been stored in a dry garage for over twenty years. The vehicle is painted in rare 6805 Bahama Yellow, adding to its collector appeal. Another available model is a 1973 Alfa Romeo GTV Bertone Coupe that has been garaged for a lifetime and frequently serviced by Alfa Romeo specialists, maintaining drive-ready condition with a pristine body.
Perhaps most significant for serious collectors is a 1960 Porsche 356B Super 90 Cabriolet that has undergone complete restoration. This rare Porsche model features a new red leather interior complementing the Ruby Red body, along with Becker Mexico Radio, new floor metal, and German weave carpet. The company describes this vehicle as "investment-grade," suggesting its potential for value appreciation within the classic car market.
For those considering selling their classic vehicles, Dusty Cars offers valuation services through their website at https://dustycars.com/what-is-it-worth/. The company's valuation team examines classic cars regardless of condition, having made fair cash offers on vehicles stored in barns, storage units, and even those left outside under tarps. The value of specific classic sports cars can remain substantial despite current condition, according to the company's assessment methodology.
Beyond the featured Porsche, Jaguar, and Alfa Romeo models, Dusty Cars also evaluates classic brands including Chevrolet, MG, Ford, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The company's approach to the classic car market reflects broader industry trends where professionally managed appraisals have become increasingly important for both buyers and sellers. As collectors seek upgrades or changes to their collections, services that provide accurate valuations and fair cash offers fill an important niche in the classic car ecosystem.
The timing of this inventory expansion coincides with what the company describes as traditional increases in car sales during December and January. This period often sees car owners considering trading up to new models or exchanging one classic car for another. For business leaders and technology professionals interested in alternative investments, the classic car market represents a tangible asset class with potential for both enjoyment and financial return, particularly when dealing with rare, well-maintained, or fully restored models like those now available through Dusty Cars.
