Here are some of the things we do at RPM.

Auto Restoration | Customizations | Buy/Sell | Storage | Appraisals | Pre-buy Inspections

Complete Auto Restoration

We realize that the cost involved in full restorations can teeter on the fulcrum of absurdity. Our years of commitment to cars of this pedigree make us aware that we must consult carefully with customers before and during the project. We work hard to keep costs reasonable and customers interested - because if you're jazzed, we're dancing. We sublet upholstery and paint work, as it's in everyone's interest to let these specialists do their magic.

Customizations, Including Metal Fabrication and Personal Adjustments

Because we uphold the value of restoring these amazing machines to their original condition, we avoid customizations that lower the value of the car. However, some situations call for special adjustments. Recent customizations include modifying a seat for a gentleman who is over 6' 5" and modifying a pedal box for an enthusiast with Scoliosis.

Many projects involve increasing the safety of the car. For example, we added a removable roll bar to a Jag XK140 and installed a modern brake master cylinder in a Ferrari 275. Reliability is one of the factors that has created our reputation, so incorporating something like a "stock" looking electronic ignition system or installing a high quality fuel pump benefits ourselves and our customers.

It boils down to the fact that no project is inconceivable with our vast knowlege of materials and access to outstanding individuals and resources.

Buy and Sell Rare and Valuable Cars

Must you absolutely have that sports car that you lusted after as a teenager? Are you ready to buy the Jag that you could have owned in 1975 if it hadn't been for the kids? Maybe a car you restored went so over budget that every time you open the garage door you need to see the therapist, and you are ready to sell.

Whether you want to buy or sell, we can help. We have a vast network of buyers and sellers that keep the market alive.

Climate-Controlled Car Storage

Our barns provide a dehumidified climate-controlled facility for car storage. A pre-season wash and limited checkover of tire pressure and fluids are included in the monthly fee.

Appraisals

Many enthusiasts need a legitimate party to provide an accurate, current value for their prized automobile. Whether for insurance, collection value, or trade assesment, we have the experience and resources to do this.

Pre-Buy Inspections

We cannot operate on human hearts, nor would we dare give advice to Bill Gates on whether he should invest in mutual funds or Idaho potatos. However, we are often asked to inspect a car to determine its real value. We can help you find the right car, even if it means turning down that "cheap" Porsche in a barn in Mexico.
