Sell My Project — built for project cars

Last updated:

A simpler way to list, build interest, and let the market decide when a build is ready to sell — fair fees, honest listings, and a garage-first experience.

Our story

Built by a garage. For garages.

Sell My Project was built by RustyK5 — a group of weekend warriors who love a good project, good friends, and a weekend in the shop. We built this for everyone with a passion for turning wrenches and getting their hands dirty.

“Some builds run out of money. Some run out of weekends. Some run out of life. All of them deserve a finish line.”

What we do

Enthusiast listings. Real outcomes.

Project car auctions

List enthusiast builds — not couches. When enough buyers show interest, you list for sale; a verified buyer can open a binding 72-hour auction at your price.

Fair, clear fees

For Sale: seller $0, buyer $0. Auction: seller $0, buyer premium 5% (maximum $5,000) — no surprise math at the finish line.

Trust you can see

Build sheets, interest counts, engagement, and permanent Sold Stories — so buyers know what they're bidding on before they raise a paddle.

Garage-first community

Follow real shops and builders, show interest on builds, and skip the Facebook DM circus. Tire-kickers filter out before the auction starts.

How It Works

More than a marketplace.

01
Create Your Garage

Your builder home on Sell My Project.

02
Build a Following

Buyers follow your build and show interest.

03
List & Share

Photos, updates, and your Launch Price — free to list.

04
Send It Auction

Send It is when you list for sale at your Launch Price floor. Hit your interest goal first — then a verified buyer can open a 72-hour auction at that floor, not a wish.

05
Complete the Sale

Payment, fees, and handoff when the hammer falls.

Most builds gather interest over days or weeks. When the seller Lists for sale and a verified buyer opens the auction at the Launch Price, a 72-hour auction begins.
