Put It Where Enthusiasts Are Looking

• Project cars with real enthusiast significance
• Honest drivers — used, imperfect, and disclosed as such
• Survivors and unfinished restorations
• Rare configurations and thoughtfully modified vehicles
• Sellers willing to disclose known issues and flaws upfront

• Misrepresented condition, history, or documentation
• Vehicles without reasonable proof of ownership
• Unsafe or prohibited vehicles
• Severe, unresolved documentation gaps
• Reused, stolen, or misleading photography
• Vehicles without real enthusiast or PATINA-audience fit

5. 5PATINA drafts the listing, and you review every factual detail before it goes live.
6. 6You grant image and content permissions, and PATINA publishes and handles inquiries.

Good photography protects everyone. At minimum, we ask for: front three-quarter, rear three-quarter, both full sides, interior, engine bay, trunk or cargo area, wheels, and clear photos of any flaws, rust, or damage. Overcast daylight and full coverage beat golden-hour flattery every time.

PATINA does not describe vehicles as flawless, rare, or investment-grade unless that’s genuinely and verifiably true. We ask sellers to disclose known issues, rust, modifications, and missing parts clearly — that honesty is what separates a PATINA listing from a generic classifieds post.
