About Us

The Road To Classic 4x4

It All Started With A 1981 Jeep CJ-7

That CJ-7 ignited the passion and was the first of countless trucks that have come through our founder's personal collection throughout the years.

As a truck and 4x4 collector and restorer for over a decade, Chris has successfully represented the sale of countless trucks on behalf of our clients and his personal collection. 

Fellow enthusiasts and collectors observed Chris strategically market and successfully sell countless trucks for his own collection, so they started asking him to sell their trucks and 4x4s.  As word spread and the requests grew, Chris expanded the Classic 4x4 brand to include classic, vintage and collector truck and 4x4 advisory and marketing.
