🏎️ Classic Car Inspection
What type of car
are you inspecting?
This shapes the entire checklist and weights what matters most for your situation.
Show Car / Higher End
Presentation, correctness, and detail are everything. Paint, chrome, engine bay, and interior judged at the highest level.
Resto-Mod
Modern upgrades on a classic platform. Solid foundation matters most. Numbers are rarely the point.
Driver Quality
A car meant to be driven and enjoyed. Mechanical reliability and honest condition weighted highest.
Project / Restoration
Buying the bones. Rust and structural integrity are everything. Does it run? What does it need?
Step 2 of 4
Tell us about
the vehicle
Enter what you know, upload a photo, or provide the VIN. Fill in as much or as little as you have.

⚠️
AI isn’t perfect. Always verify what it fills in and use your own best judgment when inspecting.
Step 3 of 4
Do you believe
this car is original?
Original means factory-correct components throughout. Not necessarily numbers matching — just your best read on whether it’s been modified.
Yes — Believed Original
Appears factory correct. Components look period correct and unmodified.
No — It Has Been Modified
Known mods, engine swap, custom work, or clearly not factory stock.
Not Sure — I Cannot Tell
Barn find, estate sale, or just not sure. Include all checks so I can assess.
Step 4 of 4
Does numbers matching
matter to you?
Numbers matching means original drivetrain stamps with verifiable date codes. A car can be worth a million dollars without matching numbers — it depends on what you’re buying it for.
Yes — I Want Verified Numbers
Engine pad, casting numbers, transmission tags, and date codes must be verified. Full authentication checklist included.
No — Condition Matters More
Numbers are not the priority. Focus on mechanical condition, body quality, and overall integrity. Numbers section skipped.
Not Sure — Help Me Find Them
Include the numbers section and show me where to look on this specific car. I’ll decide based on what I find.
