About Heritage Auto Racing & Development
Heritage is a specialized, low-volume automotive shop focused on vintage cars, antiques, classics, European sport cars, American muscle and road-course race cars. We are not primarily a general repair shop. Our work centers on collectible vehicles and enthusiast cars—machines with history and character.
Work in the shop regularly includes classic muscle cars, vintage European sports cars, classic SUV’s and trucks, and road-course race cars.
