A short history

In 1975, I bought my first American car, a 1968 Plymouth Fury III with a bad engine. I replaced the engine with a 440 ci,  out of a wrecked '70 Challenger.

My passion for American cars was born!!!

At the time, I was working in a Mercedes dealership, as a body repairman. On the side I started to deal in these big American boats, just for the fun of it.

In the late '80's, I decided to convert my hobby in to a full time job, I realised that I had to make a choice. The combination of both became impossible.

I was offered Chargers and Challengers, GTO's,  almost for free, there was just no market for these types of vehicles. I even traded a 1957 Chevrolet Belair for a set of used alloys! People in those days where only interested, in Mustangs, Corvettes and a Caddy or Caprice convertible. Our "muscle cars" where the Escort RS2000, the Opel Kadett GTE,  Renault Alpine or the Alfa. Later under influence of "movies", things changed.  Think Smokey and the Bandit, Dukes of Hazzard, Bullit, Gone in 60 seconds and Fast and furious.

In 2004 we expanded the company and added a TEXACO service station

.............. Or when dreams come true!
