Thanks for landing here. Before we take a look under the tarp, let’s set the scene.



This business was built by an operator who has spent over two decades finding value where others don’t—and delivering on it. Armed with a flip phone and a webpage, and through hundreds of completed transactions and a small team of skilled mechanics, he’s proven that disciplined restoration and execution can turn obscure assets into consistent results. Now, after 20 years, he’s ready to move on.



Here’s the wrinkle—and perhaps the opportunity. Along the way, the business accumulated a meaningful inventory of sellable assets that has not yet been fully monetized. As you read on, it’s important to understand this: the current cash flow tells only part of the story. There is real profit today, but it reflects a deliberately conservative pace, not the full economic potential of what’s been built. Scarcity, inventory, and optionality remain largely untapped.



If your curiosity is getting the better of you, keep reading. And if you want to see what’s actually under the tarp, additional details are available by submitting an inquiry below.



Overview of the Opportunity



This offering represents a specialty vehicle restoration and fabrication business built around a repeatable platform rather than one-off projects. The operation combines custom restoration work, light fabrication, and even individual parts sales, serving an enthusiast market that values craftsmanship, originality, and scarcity.



The business is by design low-volume and high-margin, with projects completed on a made-to-order basis. A portion of components are fabricated in-house, while others have been held as originals for 50+ years allowing flexibility in scaling labor, outsourcing, or expanding internal production.



Conservative estimates indicate approximately $250,000 in annual sales, with net margins exceeding 50% due to the specialized nature of the work, pricing power, and strong parts contribution. This again is a conservative estimate completely capable of scaling. Value for business comes from inventory being sold and retails in today's market for over $3,000,000



This is well-suited for an operator with restoration, fabrication, or specialty manufacturing experience who wants a proprietary demand stream rather than a traditional job-shop model.



Financial Highlights (Conservative)



Estimated annual revenue: ~$250,000




Net margins: 50%+




Capital-light operation with limited fixed overhead




Profits driven by labor efficiency, customization, and parts economics



In addition to ongoing operations, the business controls a finite inventory of restorable units and components, providing a clear runway of future projects. Based on historical pricing and conservative sell-through assumptions, this inventory represents over $1,000,000 in potential cumulative profit opportunity over time, depending on build strategy and sales pacing.



(This figure reflects long-term potential across the remaining inventory, not annual earnings.)



Why This Business Is Different



Platform, not projects: Proven restoration workflow with repeatable processes




Pricing power: Scarcity and specialization support premium pricing




Margin stack: Restoration labor + parts sales + optional fabrication




Asset-backed upside: Inventory supports future revenue rather than requiring continuous deal sourcing



Ideal Buyer Profile


This opportunity is best suited for:




A professional vehicle restoration shop looking to add a proprietary platform




A fabrication or specialty manufacturing operator seeking higher-margin work




An asset-based operator comfortable managing finite inventory and long-term sell-through



Transition & Growth


The seller is prepared to support a transition to ensure continuity of processes, sourcing relationships, and build workflows. Growth opportunities include:




Increasing throughput with additional labor
