About Us

Vintage Porsches built to Excellent Standards for over 25 years


Vintage Excellence is a specialty shop that takes restoration to an artisanal level. For the person who wants the absolute finest quality possible. An appointment only shop, we are small and do not keep normal business hours, unfortunately our shop is not for everyone. Once we connect on a transaction you will get our undivided attention, access to 25+ years of  knowledge/experience  on air cooled Porsches.  All our clients become good friends over time. We are focused on retailing our fully restored cars, consultation on purchases/restorations - local or worldwide. Pre Purchase Inspections. Occasional consignments.  


The difference - top quality or rare cars, fully vetted, sorted & serviced, ready for the new owner. Our strengths include authenticity knowledge, proper restoration experience, and an ability to avoid all problem cars. The car you buy from us will be prepared by the most experienced people in the Porsche restoration business. Excellent quality takes a very large amount of time to get done, therefore inventory is very limited. We do not have an assembly line of low cost laborers who only learned their trade recently. We favor high quality over  volume.

Paint is a difficult task, the most important and the restorer in charge of the job must work closely with the painter in order to harmonize efforts. This guy delivers the quality I require and I thank him for putting up with my crazy requirements.

These old engines are made very well but at their current age competent machine work is required. Dennis has genius level air cooled abilities!

Terry has been manufacturing rubber since the 1970s. While he specialized in 356 for a long time our shop is one of the first to convince him to do more 911 and 912 specialty stuff. Many of his prototypes are fitted with our cars. https://im356-911.com

David from Australia bought one 912 from me and then decided he should buy another one, second one he flew out with his wife to tour Southern California in. Nothing beats arriving and driving your own Porsche in a foreign land.

Now residing on one of the Palm Islands this 1972 Porsche 911 surely gets noticed  by the locals as definitely something different. The buyer visited my shop, bought the car and then ordered a very special Air Conditioning system for the desert heat.
