Car Restoration
Better than New

Car Restoration is considered an art. Authenticity in car restoration is paramount, and everything must be exactly as it was when the vehicle left the factory.

The perfectionists who judge classic cars have been known to penalize seemingly perfect cars for minor transgressions like having the wrong washer on an exhaust bracket or incorrect weather stripping around the windshield (the difference between taking the trophy and going home empty-handed).

Many of these classics require a complete machine shop in which long gone parts may be re-created, a body and paint shop to restore or create the autos' outer layer, a mechanical shop to take apart and rebuild engines and other parts, an upholstery shop for the interiors, and years of experience and craftsmanship.

Some would call spending tens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours to attain restoration perfection an obsession, and many people who spend bushels of cash restoring a car never drive it.

Whether buying new or used; or selling a vehicle, first check a reliable car price guide such as KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
