About HotRod Collection

Built by collectors,
for collectors.

Over 100 years of combined experience buying, selling, and curating investment-grade collector cars. Three locations. One standard of excellence.

Our Story

It started with a 1955 Chevy.

Founder Marshall Chesrown built his passion for collector cars through a father-son bond over a 1968 Charger. That early obsession became a career — buying, selling, and restoring thousands of standout vehicles across more than five decades.

From his first dealership in the 1970s to HotRod Collection today, Marshall has always had one philosophy: if it isn't investment-grade, it doesn't belong in the collection.

That same sharp eye guides every acquisition we make. Each car is researched, inspected, and held to a higher standard — because we're not flipping cars, we're offering legends.

What We Stand For

Real experience.
Real passion.

We're not a dealership. We're not a flipper. We're a team of collectors who've spent careers in this world — and it shows in every transaction.

Investment-Grade Only

Every vehicle we buy, consign, or sell meets our standard for quality, authenticity, and collector value. We don't buy junk — and we never will. If it doesn't meet our bar, it doesn't make the cut.

Full Transparency

No hidden fees, no padded prices, no gimmicks. Every deal is backed by honest communication and a commitment to long-term relationships. We tell you what we know — good and bad.

Collector to Collector

We're enthusiasts first. That means we understand what makes a car special, what it's actually worth, and how to treat both buyers and sellers with the respect they deserve.

Rigorously Inspected

Every vehicle is thoroughly inspected by experienced classic-car technicians. We welcome and encourage third-party inspections — because we have nothing to hide.

Flexible for Buyers

Financing options, trade-ins, and a fully refundable $500 deposit to hold any vehicle for 10 days. We make it easy to move when you find the right car.

Here When You Need Us

Real car people, seven days a week. Call, text, or email any time — 802-HOT-RODS. We're available because the right deal doesn't always happen Monday to Friday.

What We Buy & Sell

Investment-grade vehicles only.

We buy and consign cars valued from $5,000 to $5 million — and entire collections. If it's special, we're interested.

Classic Hot Rods

Pre-war to early postwar custom builds, roadsters, and traditional hot rods with authentic history and provenance.

Muscle Cars

American muscle from the golden era — Chevelles, Chargers, Mustangs, Camaros, GTOs, and beyond. Numbers-matching preferred.

Exotic & Rare

European exotics, limited production vehicles, and rare factory variants that command collector attention worldwide.

Classic Trucks & SUVs

Vintage trucks, Broncos, Blazers, and early 4x4s — collector-grade examples with documented history.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I purchase a vehicle?

Contact us to schedule an appointment. We operate by appointment only to ensure a focused, personalized experience. A fully refundable $500 deposit holds any vehicle for 10 days while you arrange inspections, financing, or logistics.

Can I have a vehicle shipped to me?

Absolutely. We work with trusted transport companies for delivery anywhere in the continental US — open or enclosed. Call us for a free shipping quote and we'll handle every detail.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We offer flexible financing options designed to make owning a collector car more accessible. Low payments, trade-in flexibility, and tailored terms. Ask us for details.

Can I get a third-party inspection?

We actively encourage it. Every vehicle is inspected by our own experienced classic-car technicians, but we welcome any third-party inspector of your choosing. We have nothing to hide.

What vehicles do you buy?

Investment-grade collector cars valued from $5,000 to $5 million — hot rods, muscle cars, exotics, classics, and trucks. We also buy entire collections and estates. If it's special, we're interested.

What about VINs and titles?

All vehicles come with clear titles and matching VIN plates. For pre-1970s vehicles with fewer than 17 VIN characters, buyers are responsible for ensuring compliance with their state's registration requirements.
