Post by: 96witton on December 27, 2018, 21:41:04: I've been restoring classic cars for 40 years(vintage raced for 35 years) and I am always looking for cars for sale or shops that are working on neat projects and cars. I do not have a car hear in FL. So I do not work on anything hear.
Maybe this will help you understand what I am looking for. I do know of a few shop and classic dealerships, but I just thought I would check on what else is out there.
thanks Jim

Pierre Hedary is in Titusville. He no longer has his address on the website for security. http://www.pierrehedaryandco.com/ (http://www.pierrehedaryandco.com/)

But he is located at 424 S Deleon Ave, Titusville, FL 32796.

Was planning on taking my car to him in the late spring to drop off for some work.

Post by: KevinC on January 02, 2019, 14:24:53: Sidney Vallon at Palm Beach Classics is quite hospitable and always has a few project cars he's working on and/or for sale. He's probably the type of guy that you might have interest in visiting. I stopped with a buddy of mine a few weeks ago and he seemed happy to show us around...most likely in the event that one of us might be a customer or at least a referral some day.

Most of the car shows here (there are plenty of them) feature mostly American muscle cars with Beach Boys music playing in the background...not a bad thing but not exactly what you are looking for. My brother and I go from time to time.

PM me and I'll pass along any additional info that I have.

Post by: Rothko on January 08, 2019, 22:01:07: You may want to go over to the Palm Beach Outlet Mall (at I-95 and Palm Beach Lakes Blvd) for the "Cars and Coffee" events that they hold once a month on Sunday mornings. Here are the next dates: February 10th; March 10th; April 7th. I believe that it is free to attend, and they have food trucks selling coffee and breakfast foods.

They have a website: https://www.carsandcoffeepb.com/

I concur that Palm Beach Classics is a nice place to stop by and see some 280 SLs that are for sale or being worked on.
