My 1983 Ferrari 308 was restored by Classic and looks better than when it was new. Their knowledge and expertise is stellar. Ferrari wanted over $3000 for a lower seat cover. Classic obtained the exact leather and made the cover in the exact pattern for less than $500. it is indistinguishable from the rest of the original Ferrari interior. That is just one example. The overall workmanship and quality is without reproach and has been holding up and looking as fresh as it was done 4 plus years ago. There was rust in parts of t... read more

I contracted with Classic to build me a 67 Mustang Eleanor clone that has a tricked out suspension, custom leather interior, fuel injected Ford 406 V8 and a 5 speed manual transmission. Everything went well with the build. I found out, unfortunately, why Mustangs have the nickname "Rustangs" but the crew at Classic certainly took excellent care of it and now I have a solid and safe Mustang that draws so much attention where ever I go that it almost is a detriment. Kudos to Classic and their outstanding quality and attention ... read more

I had brought Mel my 1970 Hemi Challenger originally but upon teardown and disassembly a real train wreck was revealed. The Hemi motor was also found to have been previously patched from a previous piston exiting the block even though it ran pretty good. His honest opinion was to not go through with the project for multiple reasons. I took his advice and disposed of the car. At a later date I purchased a 1969 Camaro Z 28 RS with the JL8 brake set up that was mostly missing. I brought the Z28 to Classic as I knew it was in th... read more

My LS 6 Chevelle was restored by Mel at Classic. Great job, very high quality. I feel pretty comfortable in saying that the restoration is of very high quality as it looks almost as good as the day it What grave marker? I looked at his website and do not see a grave marker. He has bad dealings with your brother over a car? In reading this whole thing it seems as though you have a very skewed view Michelle. Your brother obviously started this as you state "over a car" Seems as though these negative postings are the vendetta t... read more

These reviews are obviously suspect as you can tell no one knows this guy. No one could be this bad and be in business as long as they have been I had my car done there, nothing but positive experience. Quality work. You get what you pay for.

My car was restored by Classic and it is a great job. It is a 1970 Shelby GT-500 convertible. No problems with the work done and the quality was as expected which is high. I heartily recommend Classic!

This is a real problem with the internet. Anyone can say anything and not substantiate it. This poor guy at Classic is running a business and basically has no way to defend himself against these morons. I am glad to see he took this person to court and won. But, nooooo, the crybabys won't listen to that. I hope every one of you get what you deserve and when you look at yourself in the mirror you see a unhappy and miserable person who knows their lives are empty and they are losers. All made up

My 3 Pontiac Bonneville convertibles have been restored by Classic. Great jobs, awesome reviews everywhere I go with these cars. Quality has held up over many years since these cars have been completed. I agree, the negative postings here are suspect. They want you to believe them but not the positives. No business, especially as large as Classic is, can please everyone and there are always jealous detractors. No business can stay in business for over 20 years doing business as the negative people claim they do, just not pos... read more

My 63 Corvette was restored at Classic a few years ago. Exceptional job, went on to win Top Flight at the NCRS nationals as expected! Setting up a Corvette in order to obtain a Top Flight award is not an easy task and requires an in depth knowledge of Corvettes and the judging process. In order to be rewarded with a Top Flight award your Corvette has to achieve a 94% or higher score. The car has to be within the range of 94-100% as it left the factory. Very difficult goal to achieve. I continue to be a customer of Classic by... read more
