ABOUT Crawdaddy Classic Cars
Hey this is Crawdaddy. I locate and restore modern classic cars for clients all over the world.
I focus on sleepers that are undervalued in the market and usually do well on the risk/reward curve. Having owned over 80 modern classics myself, I know that well-curated cars always rise in value. But you have to pick them right.
​​
My cars are known for documented low miles, showroom condition, and affordability.
Major market players like Barrett Jackson have bought my cars for resale in their dealerships.
A few have been featured in classic car and fashion magazines. I'm close to Sky Harbor Airport in sunny Phoenix
and happy to pick you up in the car you are flying in to see.
