CLASSIC CAR
RESTORATION
BUILT THE
RIGHT WAY.
Forty years on the drag strip taught Frank what matters. Now he brings that precision to every ground-up restoration, muscle car build, and barn find rescue that comes through the doors.
About Frank
FORGED ON THE
QUARTER MILE
Frank started racing American muscle in 1974 at Englishtown — where a bad setup could cost you a tenth of a second and a win. That obsession with getting every detail right carried straight into his restoration shop.
Today, Frank's Autos is Daytona Beach's specialist for classic American muscle — from full concours restorations to recommissioning barn finds that haven't run in decades. Every project gets the same treatment: methodical, documented, and signed off by Frank himself.
"Every car that leaves this shop, I've signed off on personally. That's not a policy — it's how I sleep at night." — Frank
What We Do
SHOP SERVICES
Concours Restoration
Ground-up, factory-spec classic car restoration for the enthusiast who wants show-quality results. Every panel, every bolt, every finish photographically documented from bare metal to final reveal.
Muscle Car Performance
Dyno-tuned upgrades for American classics — cam swaps, fuel systems, modern ignition, and drivetrain work that stays true to the original character while raising the ceiling.
Barn Find Rescue
Recommissioning classics that have been off the road for years. Seized engines, rotted fuel systems, forgotten wiring — we've brought back vehicles that most shops wouldn't touch.
Pre-Purchase Inspection
120-point forensic inspection before you buy. Frank examines the car the way a racer examines a competitor's build — looking for what the seller isn't showing you. Video call or in-person available across Florida.

Happy Owners
OWNER'S LOUNGE
"I've owned classic cars for thirty years and dealt with plenty of restoration shops. Frank is different. He called me mid-project because he found a stress crack I hadn't noticed in the chassis photos. That's not the kind of thing you get from a shop that just wants the invoice paid."
"My '67 Camaro was a genuine show-winner before I brought it to Frank for a resto rebuild. He came back with a 400-page photo record of every stage. The car came back better than it left the factory and it won its class at Daytona. I wouldn't go anywhere else."
