Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Pedal to the Metal has been operating for over 20 years as a specialist in classic American muscle cars. What started as a passion-driven operation has grown into one of Europe’s most established destinations for buying, selling, restoring, and building classic American muscle, with clients across the Netherlands, Europe, the United States, and the Middle East.
Our main showroom and restoration facility is in Sneek, in the province of Friesland in the northern Netherlands, approximately one hour and fifteen minutes by car from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. We also have a storage facility in Pelt, Belgium. Our Sneek facility is open Monday to Thursday by appointment, Friday from 08:00 to 17:00, and Saturday from 09:00 to 14:00.
Three things set us apart. First, everything happens under one roof – sourcing, sales, restoration, custom builds, workshop services, and registration are all handled by our own team at our own facility. We do not outsource the core of what we do. Second, our team has genuine deep knowledge of these cars – not just how to sell them, but how they were built, what correct specification looks like, and what makes one example significantly more valuable than another. Third, we sell globally and handle the complete logistics of getting a car to a buyer anywhere in the world, which means clients in the US, the Gulf, and across Europe all get the same end-to-end experience.
Classic American muscle cars are our exclusive focus. This covers Ford and Shelby Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, Chevelles, and Corvettes, Pontiac GTOs, Firebirds, and Trans Ams, and Chrysler Mopar muscle including Chargers, Cudas, Challengers, Road Runners, Superbirds, and Daytonas. We also build custom and Eleanor-tribute Mustangs and pro-touring versions of most classic American muscle car platforms.
