WHY VINTAGE UNDERGROUND

  • ★ ★ ★ ★ ★


    I have used Joe Potter and Vintage Underground for three major and many minor restorations of complicated vintage cars and motorcycles, as well as for mechanical and cosmetic repairs over the past six years. They have always outperformed expectations and I have learned to trust them completely with all aspects of vintage car research, diagnosis, repair, and restoration--as well as show presentation and racetrack preparation. I have had cars on the lawn at Pebble Beach six times and would wholeheartedly trust them to get me there a seventh.

    Having seen the works in progress and completed projects that Vintage Underground produces makes me eager for the day I can commission my dream car with their team. Relentless attention to detail and a true enthusiasm in the collector car community is apparent in all their work.

    Friendly management and staff. Superb workmanship. They can simply bring a favorite vehicle back to life, or take a vehicle from a "project" to a Concours winner, depending on your vision and budget. Always on Sports Car Market's "best restoration shop" list. Superb craftsmanship sums it up perfectly.

    This seems like a group of guys that truly love cars and enjoy fixing them. They do so at a very high level. When my classic car broke down, they went out of their way to help me repair it. They were able to get me back on the road in short order

    High quality professional work and meticulous attention to detail. Some incredible projects completed and ongoing, from simple refurbishing to full-on, ground up restorations. Suspension, mechanicals, coachwork--they do it all. And if correct parts are no longer available, they'll fabricate them
