The garage
A short catalogue, on purpose
Reggie’s Garage is a real place before it is a website: a working collector-car garage in Seaside, California, on Monterey Bay, that has hosted sales during Monterey Car Week. This site is its front door.
Whose cars these are
Reggie Jackson has been collecting cars for decades, and so have his friends. The lots here come from three places: his own collection, cars from fellow collectors he has known for years, and once in a while an outside consignment that fits.
That is the fun of it, honestly. Cars like these usually change hands quietly, between people who already know each other. An auction here is a chance to buy one in the open, with the story told in full and a real person behind it who can be asked about the car. Where that relationship exists, the lot page says so.
The heart of the catalogue is American muscle from the 1960s and 70s, original and low-mileage, with older classics alongside and the occasional exotic.

A working garage, not a showroom
Why the catalogue is short
A short catalogue is a promise: it means somebody actually looked at every car in it.
Nobody can look closely at hundreds of cars a week, so we do not try. We run a small number and stay answerable for each one, which also means turning down good cars that simply belong somewhere else.
The same care runs through the rules. A lot that does not meet its reserve is recorded as passed, publicly, and we never quietly close the gap with the seller so it can be called a sale. Comment removals carry a reason. Whether a seller is a dealer or a private party is stated right on the lot. Small things, but they are what make a short catalogue worth trusting.
Deposits, proxy bidding, the soft close and the buyer premium are all set out on how it works.
Consignment
Have a car that belongs here?
We take on a small number of outside consignments. Tell us what the car is, what you have to document it, and what you are hoping for. A real person reads every submission.
