What is Rare Cars Only?

Rare Cars Only is more than just a platform...it’s a passion-fueled journey into the forgotten corners of automotive history. We are a research-driven collective devoted to uncovering and sharing the most precise, detailed, and authentic stories about the world’s rarest cars. What makes us different? We work behind the scenes, digging deep with the help of those who were actually there—legendary designers, retired engineers, ex-factory workers, long-time collectors, and the unsung heroes who shaped automotive history. With a network that spans the globe, we provide a rare level of insight for those who own, seek to own, or simply admire rare and collectible automobiles. Whether you're looking to learn more about your car, buy or sell one, or just fall deeper in love with the unknown, we take the stress out of the process and replace it with fun, fascination, and precision. Our suite of services—from deep-dive research and authentication, to bespoke media creation, dealer negotiation, exhibition planning, and collection management—is designed to make rare car ownership as enjoyable as it is enriching. At the heart of our platform is a living archive: over 275 researched manufacturers and 2,000+ original articles, making Rare Cars Only one of the most expansive rare car knowledge bases in the world. Our writing has been featured in both top-tier print and digital publications, but our greatest reward is the sparkle of surprise in someone’s eyes when a long-lost vehicle's story is brought back to life. Because in the end, reviving the excitement for forgotten vehicles—whether through words, photos, or events—is what drives us. And nothing, truly nothing, is more thrilling than watching that excitement spread across the world, one rare car at a time.

our history

Founded in June 2020 by Anthony Marchese, Rare Cars Only began as a personal passion project rooted in a lifelong love for automobiles. What started as a humble effort to research and share the stories of rare and limited-production vehicles soon evolved into a respected platform recognized by enthusiasts and professionals alike. After cataloging and sharing thousands of vehicles from hundreds of different manufacturers, Rare Cars Only organically grew into a trusted resource and a passionate global community. Today, Rare Cars Only works closely with a wide network of experts—including engineers, designers, collectors, and industry veterans—to provide some of the most accurate and insightful information available on the world’s rarest cars. More than just a knowledge base, the platform is dedicated to preserving the history of every vehicle we feature, ensuring each car’s story is documented and shared for generations to come. Our services now extend far beyond research. Rare Cars Only has become a comprehensive rare car hub—offering opportunities to learn, engage, attend events, and even buy or sell rare and limited-production automobiles. Every vehicle featured on the platform is accompanied by a unique, article-length story, reflecting our commitment to detail and authenticity. All imagery featured on Rare Cars Only is either individually sourced with proper approval or produced in-house by our dedicated media team, RCO Media Group. This ensures that every piece of content we share is original, respectful of creators, and aligned with our high standards of integrity. Whether you're here to explore the rich history of forgotten vehicles, looking to connect with fellow enthusiasts, or need assistance with your own rare car, we’re glad you’re here—and we hope you enjoy the experience.

our Values

What truly sets Rare Cars Only apart from the crowd is our unwavering attention to detail and commitment to authenticity. Whether we’re documenting a vehicle for preservation, assisting in the discovery—or rediscovery—of a rare or limited-production car, prototype, or concept, we leave no stone unturned. Every project we take on is handled with precision, care, and a deep respect for the vehicle’s unique story. At Rare Cars Only, we believe the most authentic way to gather information is by going straight to the source—whether that’s the original designer, engineer, factory worker, collector, or someone who played a direct role in a car’s journey. This approach has allowed us to build a vast, trusted network of individuals and businesses who contribute their knowledge and expertise to our ever-growing community. To us, a car's history is its soul—its story is what makes it timeless. We are passionate about preserving these stories with care, accuracy, and permanence. Every vehicle we research, showcase, or help source is treated as a piece of living history, and through Rare Cars Only, that history is preserved forever. One of our core philosophies is ensuring that any rare vehicle we help place finds a fitting and loving home—a home where the car will be appreciated, maintained, and enjoyed in the spirit it was built for. We’re not just helping people buy or sell cars—we’re connecting people with automotive history, and building lasting relationships along the way. We also believe that "rare" is beautifully subjective. For us, rarity isn't limited to one-offs or ultra-low production models. It can be a forgotten model line, a car with a unique specification, or even one of a few thousand that carries a significant story. What matters is the meaning, the backstory, and the emotional or historical value a car holds. At Rare Cars Only, we celebrate all forms of rarity—and we’re here to ensure those vehicles, and their stories, are never lost to time.
