At PTTM, we specialize in full restorations of classic American muscle cars, with a clear focus on returning each vehicle to its original factory specification.
Restoration, in its truest form, is not about modern upgrades or personal reinterpretation. It is about accuracy, respect for original engineering and preserving what made these cars iconic. For us, restoration means bringing a car back to what it once was mechanically, visually and historically.
We work with owners and buyers worldwide who value originality, craftsmanship and transparency throughout the restoration process.
At PTTM, restoration means returning a classic American muscle car to the way it left the factory. This includes:
Factory-correct drivetrains, components and finishes
Period-correct materials, colors and interior details
Mechanical systems restored to original function and specification
Respect for original engineering and production methods
Restoration is fundamentally different from Restomod or Pro Touring builds. Where those approaches introduce modern technology or performance upgrades, restoration focuses entirely on historical accuracy and authenticity.
Every decision is guided by one question: Is this how the car was meant to be?
Restoration is the right choice for owners and buyers who value originality over modern interpretation. It is typically suited for:
Owners who want to preserve a car’s original character
Collectors who value factory-correct specifications and provenance
Enthusiasts restoring a car with historical or emotional significance
Buyers seeking an honest, unmodified classic
If your goal is improved performance, modern drivability or contemporary comfort, a Restomod or Pro Touring approach (under the Custom Builds tab) may be a better fit. We are always upfront about which direction best suits your car and your goals.
Every restoration project starts with understanding the car and the owner’s objective. No two cars and no two owners are the same.
Our process typically includes:
Assessment & Documentation
A detailed inspection to document the car’s condition, originality and technical state. This forms the basis of a realistic and transparent restoration plan.
Disassembly & Inspection
Careful disassembly to evaluate every component including structural integrity, mechanical wear and any previous work.
Body, Drivetrain & Interior Restoration
From bodywork and paint to engine, transmission, suspension and interior. All work is carried out with factory-correct precision. Original parts are restored wherever possible. Correct replacements are sourced when necessary.
Assembly, Testing & Finishing
Once reassembled, the vehicle is thoroughly tested and refined. Fit, finish and mechanical performance are verified before delivery.
Not sure whether restoration is the right path? We’re happy to discuss your options before any work begins.
Proper restoration requires patience, experience and respect for the original vehicle. At PTTM, restoration is never treated as just cosmetic work or a quick turnaround.
We deliver quality by:
Handling core restoration disciplines in-house
Partnering with trusted specialists when additional expertise is required
Working with realistic timelines that prioritize quality over speed
Every project is approached with the same care and accountability, regardless of scope.
There are different ways to bring a classic American muscle car back to life:
Restoration: Preserves originality and factory-correct execution
Restomod: Blends original design with discreet modern upgrades
Pro Touring: Reimagines the car with performance, handling, and braking as priorities
PTTM offers all three approaches and helps clients choose the direction that best fits their car, expectations and intended use.
