Appraisals
I have over ten years of experience providing professional valuations of collector cars for insurance, estate, and legal purposes. All my work is done in accordance with USPAP. Detailed reports are tailored to your requirements, from single page value letters to detailed descriptions of the car and an explanation of the methods used to determine the value. Price range depends on your requirements -- starting at $150 for a local, simple appraisal. Call or e-mail me with your needs for a better estimate of the cost of your job.

Buy and Sell
I am an active buyer of cars -- from one car to entire collections. I keep some for my own collection and sell others to collectors all over the world. If you have something to sell or are looking for something in particular, let me know about it.

Collection Consulting
I can help you better focus your collection and manage your cars. I can help you make critical decisions about vehicles worth keeping, worth acquiring, or that should be sold. I can also help you oversee your restoration projects to assure that you get what you are paying for and that the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Marketing of Cars and Private Treaty Sales
Mystified by the Internet, eBay, the auctions, or the myriad of publications to advertise your car for sale? You are not alone. Perhaps, you know that your car will sell if seen at the right shows, but you don't have the time to sit with it all weekend. I've done all of these things for collectors, and I can do them for you! Writing ads, helping choose the right locations for advertising, selecting the  auction most likely to work for you, or even showing the car to prospective buyers when you are too busy to do it, are all things I can handle for you.

I’ve handled the sale of cars for clients on a one-to-one level assuring the personal, private disposition of their vehicles. From preparing the car for sale to advertising and making sure funds transfer and cars ship, I can handle your needs. Please inquire for details.

Pre-Purchase Inspections
Are you looking at a car on eBay or interested in a car for sale on the other side of the country from you? I will drive to the location of the vehicle for sale, bring along the equipment to examine it as completely as possible, and give you a written or verbal description as an impartial examiner. The cost of this service is similar to that of appraisals and will vary with the distance traveled and details needed by the customer.

Writing and Research
I've written dozens of articles on collector cars, automotive history, collector profiles, and business profiles. I've written for magazines, newspapers, web sites, car show program books, and even speakers notes. Along with this writing, I've done research to authenticate and identify cars. Perhaps, a magazine may want an article about your car, truck, or automotive business? You may want a written history of your vehicle to show with the car. Whatever your desire for written material, call or e-mail, so that we may discuss how I may be of service.

Custom Books and Catalogs
The latest of my writing projects involves custom books for clients. I can arrange to have your entire car collection photographed, then write a profile of each car to accompany the photographs. The material will be professionally laid-out, printed, and bound into a book that you may sell, give away, or just show off to friends and family. Costs vary depending on the location and size of the project. Samples of previous work will be available in 2005.

Whatever
I'm constantly answering simple questions for people who e-mail me on a daily basis. I've been asked to review documentation on the history of cars, edit material for publishers, and travel with people to lend professional on-the-spot opinions on cars they are looking at. I've found cars for movies and advertising. Whatever your need is, ask. I may be able to provide some service to you that I never even thought of.
