About Us
My Mission
Whether you have never owned a Muscle Car or whether you have a stable
of them, it is my mission to help you define, find, restore and bring to
your doorstep (worldwide) your Dream Muscle Car. If you need original,
hard-to-find parts, I will find them. When that time comes part with
your “baby,” I’ll be sure to find her a good home.
About Me?
DreamWorks MuscleCars is just me (for now). I am a CPA who was a little
bored with the whole “bean counter thing” and decided to follow my
passion and see if I couldn’t make a business of it.
I was born the son of a car guy. I did not have a chance to be anything
but; it was in my DNA. My Dad was an accountant by day, a college
student by night and the neighborhood mechanic on the weekends. My job,
at four years old, was to follow my dad around the neighborhood on
Saturday mornings and carry “the screwdriver.” With my Dad’s head under
the hood I waited for those magical words, “hand me the screwdriver,” to
which I would reply, “here 'ya go Dad” as I handed it up to him. Those
are my earliest recollections of my interaction with cars.
I was always an entrepreneur. From the age of 11 to 18, I had a thriving
lawn business. You know, before the advent of the “landscaper”. I bought
my first car at 16. My Uncle Tom, who lived next door, had a 1955 Chevy
210 with 55k original miles. It was a 265 V8 that had been sitting for
many years. The body was in nice shape and the interior was near
perfect. Even the clock and radio worked. Uncle Tom told me he was going
to put the car in the paper (well before internet ads and EBay) and
before he knew it, I showed up at his front door with $150 and the car
was mine. From that time I WAS ABSOLUTLEY HOOKED! I did a “rattle can
restoration” and sold that car for $950. My dad couldn’t believe how
much money I had made in only a few weeks (neither could I). I flipped
another 3 cars before I even got my license at 17.
Fast forward thirty plus years and countless cars later…I’m going for
it. DreamWorks MuscleCars has been brewing in me and now it’s time. I’ve
searched, found, restored and sold numerous cars for myself and others.
I have had many successes and have made many mistakes. Whether it’s a
“driver” you want or a Concours restored car, I can help. My business
plan is to share my experience to help you avoid the pitfalls (and
expense) of purchasing the wrong car.
I currently show a 1972 Chevelle SS454 Convertible, one of approximately
70 made and 24 known to exist. Besides various ACES (American Chevelle
Enthusiasts Society) events, this car has won AACA’s (Antique Automobile
Club of America) First Junior, First Senior and Grand National awards.
It has scored 398.5 out of a possible 400 points at an all Chevelle
show. I strive for perfection.
In February 2011 this Chevelle was invited as one of 50 worldwide to
participate in the
Kuwait Concours d’Elegance and took Best Musclecar.
In addition to the Chevelle, I am currently building a 1972 Olds 442
Convertible with a BTR built 496 / M22Z powertrain. Yes, I too am
addicted to Muscle Cars - I understand your disease.
