Why this tool starts with identity
Classic vehicles accumulate replacement engines, trim, badges, bodies and paperwork over decades. Some changes improve usability; others create a story that the physical evidence cannot support. Before judging paint or listening to a sales pitch, compare the title with the vehicle’s identifiers and use factory literature for the exact model year.
What the planner cannot do
No online tool can see corrosion inside a rocker, verify a drivetrain stamp, evaluate a weld or confirm that a title belongs to the vehicle in front of you. The planner organizes questions so your time with a qualified mechanic, body specialist, appraiser or marque expert is more productive.
CCA garage rule: Buy the evidence, condition and workmanship—not the badge alone.
