WHAT WE BUY

Classic, Muscle, and Oddball Cars We Buy and Sell

If it has wheels, an engine, and a story, there is a good chance Joe the Hat has handled one like it. From a clean muscle car to a long-forgotten oddball, the work is the same: a straight look at the car and a fair conversation about what it is worth.

Classic cars

Collectible vehicles from across the decades, bought and sold as single cars.

Muscle cars

American performance cars for enthusiasts and collectors who know what they are looking at.

Oddball and unusual cars

One-of-a-kind and distinctive vehicles that do not fit neatly into standard listings.

Whole collections

An entire collection from one owner, handled in one conversation instead of car by car.

Meet Joe the Hat

Most people know me as Joe the Hat, the car expert from Discovery Channel's The Lords of the Car Hoards. I spend my days chasing down classic cars, from muscle cars and oddballs to whole collections tucked away for decades.

Car shows, filming, and sourcing vehicles keep me on the road across Arizona. I like the hunt as much as the deal, and I'll always give you a straight answer about what a car or collection is worth to me.

Whether you're selling one car or an entire collection, or you're looking for a muscle car buyer in Arizona who understands unusual finds, I'm happy to talk cars with you anytime.

Joe "The Hat" Petralia, classic car expert and collector car buyer serving Phoenix and Arizona
