Examples of cars that BTO Cars or Zimm's Kustoms have restored, constructed, painted or sold. |
| 1970 Dodge HEMI (upgrade) Challenger R/T | |
|
This is a one-off factory special order dealer demo originally built for Buddy Baker's NASCAR sponsor. BTO Cars has completed a meticulous rotisserie restoration and many upgrades to this extremely rare high value investment grade icon, including a new MOPAR HEMI. It just sold for six figures!! |
| 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury | |
Talk about Plymouth passion! This car's owner has it! He bought this arrow-straight 2 door hardtop beauty in Oklahoma 15 years ago, and he's been collecting NOS parts all that time so he could recreate the street racer he had "back in the day". BTO Cars has done a full rotisserie restoration to make it the most awesome MOPAR street-sweeper on the show circuit. We're sworn to secrecy about the muscle details, but if you ask the owner's buddies, Mr. Norm and Gary Dyer, they'll tell you to keep your title locked up when you see it on the street. |

| 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner 440 Six Pack(upgrade) Air Grabber | |
|
It's okay to drool over this one! A genuine Roadrunner 440 Six Pack Air Grabber restored to its original perfection by BTO Cars. Our client, the lucky owner of this MOPAR icon, will cruise it down the boulevard, and the rest of us will only be able to admire it at car shows and in magazines. |
| 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A | |
Do you want go vintage racing? Our client can in this original, numbers matching, T/A restored for the original owner by BTO Cars. Talk about planning...the he bought factory replacement quarters with the original purchase of the car in 1970, so that if it got crunched in a race, he'd have replacements! |

| 1962 Ford Falcon Futura | |
|
Jordan gave this car to his wife, Sheila, for their 35th wedding anniversary. It is a recreation of the car that Jordan drove on their first date! He bought three 62 Falcon Futuras over a three year period. He sold one, used one as a parts car, and brought this one to Zimm for restoration. It had 58,000 miles, no rust, and was straight and solid, never having been damaged. Best of all, all the trim was there. Zimm did some minor body work, installed rack & pinion steering and power brakes, and executed a sensational single stage exterior paint job and complete interior repaint. The restoration includes: all stainless repaired and polished, all aluminum straightened and re-anodized, complete re-chroming of all chromed parts, installation of a complete NOS interior, a transmission rebuild, and a valve job on the 170ci 6-cylinder engine. This sweet little "compact" now drives like a modern car, with no steering wander, and it stops on a dime. It is a crowd favorite and has won Best Original and Best 60's Ford awards. |
| 1932 Ford Roadster Streetrod | |
Zimm built this all steel Deuce roadster, installing a crate Chevy 350, and executing an awesome candy blue paint job with ghost flames. Our client was so thrilled with this drop-top, that he brought us his 1970 Chevelle 396 Convertible for a BTO Cars full rotisserie restoration. (see "IN PROCESS" page) Imagine this little drop-top scorching the quarter mile at Muroc Dry Lake! |

| 1968 Zimmer | |
|
BTO Cars performed the following work on this "Gatsby" era replica: minor body work, exterior paint, interior re-upholstery and re-dye, and engine replacement (new Ford Racing 302) and transmission swap. This beauty gets a lot of envy at the country club. |
| 1977 Ford Maverick | |
This car's owner saw Jordan's wife's Falcon (see above) at a car show and was so impressed with its quality, that he brought his Maverick to BTO Cars for an engine swap and interior spruce up. We installed a new Ford Racing crate 302, re-painted and re-dyed the interior, and installed new radio speakers. Now, it's one very fast and beautiful Maverick. |
 |
| 1968 Dodge Charger R/T | |
|
This is a car that BTO Cars took on consignment to sell for the owner. It was a super clean and detailed #2+ driver with a built up 440/4brl, 4-speed, headers, and a T/A type fiberglass hood. It drew an endless stream of admirers when we put it out in front of our shop, including a buyer, we're happy to say! |

Why have a plain old truck, when you can have one flamed by Zimm? With an air brushed tail gate graphic to boot! |

| 1969 Chevy Wagon | |
|
Remember that old station wagon your dad drove that you'd be embarrassed to be seen dead in? Well, not any more! Station wagons are HOT! The owner of Pit Pals brought this classic family hauler to Zimm for a restoration. Now, it's a collectable "knock-out"!! |
