Although I was born in the late 60's and grew up with a fascination for cars of the 1980's I have always had a dream of owning a Ford Mustang that was made in the same year as my birth. A fastback model GT with the raised hood for an air intake and a 500 horsepower engine. Like many other guys that appreciate the American muscle cars of the late 60's and early 70's I have been thinking that when I can spend the time I would like to find an old car and do the restoration work to bring it back to its original glory. While some of the mechanical work can be done at home I have found a garage that specializes in classic automobile restorations. Located in Phoenix auto restoration with the expertise to build custom interiors for cars is helping out a lot of owners of rare and classic automobiles to fix up the timeless rides from every era of history.
The shop is able to provide all of the mechanical and body work as well as restoring the interior of any car to its original factory finish. As an enthusiast that has an affinity for American muscle cars I like to see the paint shine and the engine roar as the decades old vehicles are brought out of retirement and given a new lease on life. Taking some of the styling and putting it back into the high performance sports coupes that are produced in Detroit the Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro and Dodge Charger have all been given a retro look that takes people back in time. But even with the classic lines of the bodywork the newer designs are not (in this writer's opinion) as good looking as the original vehicles that introduced the names known today to the first generation of car enthusiasts.
Owning a piece of history a neighbor I grew up near had a mint condition 1955 Ford T-Bird. He only took it out for special occasions and drove it in the annual parade to commemorate the state's founding. A beautiful white on white classic that was immaculate inside and out I took one look at that car and knew that I had found my passion for classic automobiles. While there are many makes and models that capture the attention of drivers and collectors throughout the country there are very few people that have the patience to rebuild and restore the classics of a bygone era. Yet in Phoenix where the weather is always permissible for a drive on a freshly paved road the work of restoration continues. Whether working on a Corvette, a Mustang or an Edsel or something from the 1930's the guys at the Phoenix auto restoration garage treat every vehicle in their care as if it was their own and deliver the street ready high octane machines that continue to get the heart racing and the blood pumping.
