At Route 66 Auctions, we focus on distinctive and collectible motorcycles, scooters and mopeds that appeal to enthusiasts and are often hard to find.

Documentation Requirements
Each vehicle must include valid documentation proving lawful ownership, including identifiable frame and engine numbers. If documentation is missing, the expert may decline the submission unless provenance or legal status can be reliably verified in another manner.
Our experts determine the suitability of each vehicle based on rarity, condition, maintenance, provenance and current market demand. Route 66 Auctions reserves the right to reject submissions that do not meet these quality standards or that do not demonstrate sufficient market value.
