Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not
We accept both running and non-running classic cars. If your vehicle needs some TLC, don’t fret—we’ll arrange for pickup and assess its value accordingly.
Title Issues
Having a clean title makes the donation process smoother. If you’ve misplaced the title, we can guide you through obtaining a replacement to facilitate the donation.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Unsure about where your classic car is stored? Whether it’s in your garage on your property near the North Main area or at a local storage facility, we can coordinate a convenient pickup time to make it easy for you.
Title transfer & paperwork
In South Carolina, transferring the title for your classic car is essential for a smooth donation. You'll need to fill out Form 400, which is available at your local DMV. Depending on your situation, notarization may be required, especially if there are multiple owners. Remember to return the license plates to the DMV after the transfer—it's a small step that helps keep everything on the level.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation could qualify for a tax deduction in the range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on the car's condition. After your donation, you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which documents the value of the vehicle and helps you claim your deduction. It’s wise to consult your tax advisor to maximize your benefits.
Local context — Greenville
Classic and collector cars in Greenville often come from passionate owners who may be downsizing, relocating, or simply looking to pass on their pride and joy. We see many donations from folks who’ve just parked their beloved rides in environments like the beautiful Paris Mountain State Park or after enjoying a Sunday drive through the historic district. These contributions reflect the local love for automotive history and community spirit—perfect fuel for charity!
