What We Do

Valuations built to hold up under scrutiny.

Every report rests on a hands-on inspection, the documentation behind the build, and current sales of comparable cars — the same standard a lender or insurer expects before they’ll stand behind a number.

Insurance & Agreed Value

Insurance appraisals

Agreed-value documentation so a restored or modified car is covered for what it’s actually worth — not a generic book figure that ignores the build.

Lending & Finance

Financing & collateral

Independent opinions of value that banks and credit unions accept when a classic is the collateral behind a loan.

Buying & Selling

Pre-purchase & sale

Know what a car is worth before money changes hands — a clear-eyed inspection and market value for buyers and sellers alike.

Estate · Donation · Legal

Estate & legal valuations

Defensible appraisals for estate settlement, charitable donation, divorce, and diminished-value or total-loss disputes.

The Process

From inspection to certified value.

A straightforward path from the first phone call to a signed report you can hand to your insurer or lender.

One

Talk it through

Tell us the car and why you need a value — insurance, a sale, a loan, an estate. We confirm scope and fee up front.

Two

Physical inspection

A hands-on look at body, paint, panel fit, interior, drivetrain, and undercarriage, with photos and a documentation review.

Three

Market analysis

We weigh the car’s condition and features against current sales of comparable vehicles to reach a supportable figure.

Four

Certified report

A signed, written appraisal — usually within 48 hours — ready for your bank, insurer, or records.

The Report

What you get in writing.

Not a one-line number. A full narrative that documents the car and explains the value — the kind of report a financial institution accepts and a buyer can’t argue with.

About Floyd’s

“Knowledge. Experience. Integrity — the three things a valuation is only as good as.”

Daniel R. Floyd · Certified Vehicle Appraiser

Floyd’s Appraisals is an independent, owner-operated practice in St. Cloud, Minnesota, focused entirely on classic, collector, and specialty vehicles. We don’t buy or sell cars — which means our only job on any given day is to get the number right and put our name on it.

  • Independent & unbiased. No stake in the sale, so no reason to inflate or shave a figure.
  • Classic-specialist. Muscle cars, hot rods, restomods, trucks, and originals — cars the price guides handle poorly.
  • Report-ready. Written to be accepted by insurers, lenders, and courts.
  • Local to Central Minnesota. Serving St. Cloud and the surrounding region, on-site.
