Safe, Enclosed & Professional Transport for Vintage and Collector Vehicles
Owning a classic or vintage vehicle is more than transportation—it’s an investment, a passion, and a piece of history. At Onyx Auto Transport, we provide specialized classic car shipping services designed to protect your vehicle’s value, condition, and originality from pickup to delivery.
Whether you’re transporting a restored classic, a rare collector car, a vintage muscle car, or an antique vehicle, our experienced team ensures your vehicle is handled with exceptional care, secure equipment, and professional coordination.
Why Classic Car Shipping Requires Specialized Transport
Classic and collector vehicles require more than standard auto transport. Many older or high-value vehicles have:
- Low ground clearance
- Custom paint or finishes
- Delicate interiors
- Limited replacement parts
- Higher market and sentimental value
Our classic car shipping solutions are designed to address these needs with careful planning, experienced carriers, and specialized trailers.

Enclosed Classic Car Transport (Recommended)
For most classic vehicles, we strongly recommend enclosed auto transport, which provides maximum protection throughout transit.
Benefits of Enclosed Transport:
Protection from weather, dust, and road debris
Secure, fully enclosed trailers
Lift gates for low-clearance vehicles
Soft tie-down systems (no chains on sensitive components)
Fewer vehicles per trailer for added safety
This option is ideal for:
Antique cars
Restored classics
Show vehicles
Rare or high-value collector cars
Door-to-Door Classic Car Shipping
Our door-to-door classic car shipping service allows your vehicle to be picked up as close as possible to your location and delivered directly to your destination.
This approach reduces handling, limits exposure, and helps ensure a smooth and stress-free transport process—especially important for classic and vintage vehicles.
