At our facility, we take great pride in preserving, restoring, and showcasing some of the most iconic race cars in motorsport history. Whether it’s a barn find in need of a complete overhaul or a well-preserved machine requiring meticulous detailing, each project tells a unique story.
Our current restorations feature legendary Indy cars driven by some of the sport’s greatest names, including A.J. Foyt, Kenny Brack, Lloyd Ruby, Al Unser Jr., Mario Andretti, and Robby Gordon. These vehicles represent decades of racing innovation, engineering excellence, and the relentless pursuit of speed.
Each car we restore undergoes a painstaking process—disassembly, cleaning, structural repairs, period-correct restorations, and final assembly—to ensure authenticity while preserving its racing heritage. Whether they are destined for a museum, a private collection, or the track once again, our goal is to honor their legacy with the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Below is a look at some of the exciting projects we have worked on at our facility.
This is G Force GF01-21. You may have seen it for sale on on our Indy Cars/Champ Cars page. It is in our facility now, where it will be stripped, lightened clean and resurrected for permanent display. There are many good parts on it still. Keep tuned to see the progress.
This Indy car is a Wildcat Mk8B designed by Gordon Kimball and built by Patrick Racing in 1982. It is powered by a Cosworth Ford DFX engine. The driver was Mario Andretti.
We received it in the condition that it last raced at Phoenix International Raceway, plus the ravages of time. We completely restored the car, including the gearbox and engine. Plus enhanced the appearance into a show stopping appearance. Hopefully it will make an appearance at Goodwood.
This Lola T9300 arrived to us in okay condition. Especially since it was stored for many years in a 20Ft. tag trailer next to the Pacific ocean. Most of the parts were there to make it a complete, running car. What was missing was the wiring harness, data acquisition system. Due to the storage conditions it required a lot of corrosion removal, plating, anodizing and polishing. The paint and graphics were in remarkable condition. The gearbox case showed a lot of corrosion which required bead blasting. The gearbox internals were perfect. The Cosworth Ford XB engine was another story. Upon inspection it was found to have suffered serious internal damage. With engine damaged and the electronics missing, we held a conference with our client. It was decided to install the damaged engine and turn into a complete looking display car. It turned out be a very pleasing looking car!
This Penske PC25 was driven in 1996 by Al Unser Jr. It is a show car and has no operational equipment. It will returned to its original paint and graphics scheme for a client's private collection.
February of 2024 we began the resurrection of Lloyd Ruby's 1971 Indy 500 car. Powered by the turbocharged Four Cam Ford engine, Lloyd qualified 7th and finished 11th. A special thank you goes to Mr. Brad Edwards of Plainfield, IN who graciously lent us it's sister. #21 was driven in the 1971 Indianapolis 500 by Cale Yarborough, starting 14th and finishing 16th. Keep watching for more to come.
Gene White had his chief mechanic Dave Laycock build two Mongoose's for the 1971 season. This one for Lloyd Ruby and #21 for Cale Yarborough.. Both cars were powered by the turbocharged Ford engine. At the opening event in Argentina, Ruby won the pole for race #1 in this car. In the Indianapolis 500, Ruby started 7th and finished 11th. Yarborough in car #21 started 14th and finished 16th.
Keep in touch for more to come.
