CLASSIC CARS
 Classic & Exotic Car Repairs & Restoration Services

Motor Works has established a very special niche; the repair, service and restoration of Classic Cars.
 
This allows our staff to exercise its talents for craftsmanship, fabrication, fine detail and finicky “old technology”.
 
Classic Cars reflect their owner’s love, hard work and often huge financial commitment. We know this and care for these cars as if they were our own.
If you have a Special Car in your life that needs attention give us a call or stop by.
WE WILL UNDERSTAND!
 
Please visit our photo gallery below for a small tour of some of our more interesting vehicles.

Motor Works installs the first racing differential in the USA in this beautiful 350Z
350Z: Racing differential
American vs. British muscle cars: 1973 Camaro Z28 and 1989 Jaguar XJS
The Camaro gets new headers, ignition and carburetion.
The overheating Jaguar gets a new radiator, hoses, belts and engine seals. This requires removing the hood and large parts for most of the car.
1973 Z28 Camaro upgrades:
Holley Street Dominator Carburetor
Pertronix high output ignition replaces old points and condenser
Hooker Super Competition Ceramic Coated headers replace old units. All parts were carefully tuned to work together This car was transformed from fast to awesome!
A nice view of the massive V-12 engine in another XJS which required the same cooling system work as the blue Jaguar above.
Air cooled engines: 1963 Corvair and 1967 VW Beetle
1967 Beetle Original Engine
1967 Beetle gets a new engine
A Classic 1955 Chevy gets major suspension work including relocating the rear shocks to a new welded in structural member. Racing creates stress on the original shock mounts causing them to rip out of the body under heavy loads.
1960 Porsche 356b; a ticket waiting to happen
Full brakes, a major tune-up with valve adjust and carburetor work
brings performance back to this beautiful car.
Lovely 1961 VW Bus gets steering, suspension, charging system and carburetor work.
Delicate carburetor work returns smooth idle quality to this Corvair. This includes clean idle passages and adjust mixture, balance and synchronize carburetors.

  
 1971 French Citroen
1971 French Citroen: a most unusual car. This car has a full adjustable hydraulic suspension. It rides smoother than a Cadillac or Lincoln.
We rebuilt the carburetor with handmade gaskets and other parts from an old VW Beetle carburetor kit.

The leaking gas tank was removed and sent out for a complete reseal.
Major hydraulic work made the suspension perform properly again.
