Classic Car Shipping

Specialized Transport for Vintage, Collector & Classic Vehicles

Your Classic Deserves Better Than an Open Trailer

A classic car isn't just a vehicle — it's a piece of history. Whether it's a fully restored '67 Ford Mustang, a numbers-matching '63 Corvette Stingray, a pristine '69 Camaro, or a barn find you're transporting to the restoration shop, these vehicles deserve transport that matches their value.

At Lepke Auto Transport, we strongly recommend enclosed transport for all classic vehicles. Your car travels inside a fully sealed trailer, protected from rain, road debris, dust, UV exposure, and the curious eyes of other drivers. It arrives at its destination in exactly the condition it left — not a scratch, not a speck of dust.

We've been shipping classic cars since 1991 — that's over three decades of handling vehicles that range from priceless family heirlooms to six-figure Barrett-Jackson auction wins. Our carriers understand that a classic car isn't just cargo. It's someone's passion, someone's investment, and often someone's life's work.

Why Enclosed Transport for Classics?

Classic Car Insurance: Up to $150,000 Coverage

Every enclosed shipment includes up to $150,000 in cargo insurance per vehicle. For classics valued above this amount, we can arrange supplemental coverage. We also provide a detailed pre-transport inspection with photo documentation to protect your investment.

We Ship Every Type of Classic

Over the years, we've transported virtually every make, model, and era of classic vehicle. Some of the vehicles our carriers have handled include:

Common Classic Car Shipping Scenarios

Car Show Transport

Heading to Pebble Beach, Amelia Island, SEMA, Hershey, or a local cruise-in? We coordinate pickups and deliveries around event schedules. Your car arrives show-ready, without road grime or highway miles.

Auction Transport

Bought a classic at Barrett-Jackson, Mecum, RM Sotheby's, or a local estate auction? We'll pick it up from the auction venue and deliver it to your garage, shop, or storage facility.

Estate Purchases & Inheritance

Inherited a classic from a family member in another state? We handle the entire transport with care and discretion, regardless of whether the vehicle runs or not.

Non-Running Vehicle Transport

Many classics don't run — and that's fine. Our carriers are equipped with winching equipment and hydraulic lift gates to safely load and transport non-running vehicles. Just let us know the vehicle's condition when you book.

Restoration Shop Delivery

Sending your classic to a restoration specialist across the country? We deliver directly to the shop and can coordinate pickup once the work is done.
