RMC Miami

RMC Miami is a collector car dealership on NW 8th Street in Miami, close to Miami International Airport, known among enthusiasts for heavily modified air-cooled Porsches and Japanese performance cars. RMC stands for Real Muscle Cars, a reminder of what the business sold for much of its history. A 2020 feature on Turn 14 Distribution's news site says Peter Lima started the dealership in 1987, and his son Danny is now its public face in press coverage and in the company's own videos. On its website the company says it has brought South Florida imports, classics and exotics "for over 30 years."

From muscle cars to tuner icons

According to the Turn 14 feature, Lima began by selling Nissan Z cars, 240SXs and 300ZXs, moved to mostly American muscle cars over time, and started selling European performance cars around 2008. Danny Lima joined after finishing high school, roughly a decade before that article appeared. In 2025 the dealership was the subject of an episode of Hagerty's "Capturing Car Culture with Larry Chen," which described a business once dedicated to American muscle cars that now concentrates on modified tuner cars.

Business records list related names at the same address, including Real Muscle Cars Miami and Auto & Truck Buyer's Corp., a Florida corporation filed in 1998.

What RMC Miami sells

The company lists its focus as Porsche, Mercedes and Ferrari, plus muscle cars and rare Japanese (JDM) models. In practice, air-cooled Porsche 911s and Nissan Skyline GT-Rs make up much of the stock. In early October 2026 the active inventory page showed about 22 cars, including a 1989 911 Speedster with a 600 hp turbocharged engine at $289,900, a RUF-converted 1989 930 Turbo at $349,900, a 1980 911 SC rotisserie build at $174,900, an R34 Skyline GT-R at $224,900, a 2000 Porsche 911 GT3 R at $209,000 and a 1993 Venturi 400 Trophy. Factory-original cars appear as well, such as a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport with 19,000 miles at $39,850 and a 1987 Callaway Twin-Turbo Corvette at $54,000.

Listings name the builders behind many cars, among them RWB, PLATZ, Garage ITOH, Garage Saurus and Power Craft. The past sales section runs to 18 pages and includes a Ferrari 512TR and 550 Maranello, 964 and 993 Porsches, Toyota Supras and a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500SEC with pre-merger AMG parts.

Buying from RMC Miami

RMC posts asking prices on most listings and handles inquiries by phone and email. Its financing page points buyers to collector car lenders, including J.J. Best Banc, LightStream, Putnam Leasing and Woodside Credit, and notes that RMC may be compensated through the LightStream link. The page outlines the usual sequence: apply, get approved, schedule a car inspection, finalize terms, then pick up the car or have it shipped. The company says it uses only licensed and insured transporters and that shipping can be included in the loan.

Because so many of these cars are modified, the checks differ from a stock classic. Ask for build sheets, receipts and dyno results, confirm import and registration status for any right-hand-drive JDM car in your state, and have the car inspected by a specialist who knows the platform before you commit.

Selling or consigning a car

RMC's site describes the business as specializing in the acquisition, sale and consignment of rare and collectible vehicles, and its homepage says the team is "always on the hunt" for new inventory under the line "Buy, sell, trade." Owners can submit a car through an online form that asks for photos, details and an asking price. The company does not publish consignment terms or fees, so ask how a car would be marketed, where it would be kept and what commission applies before you sign.

Reputation

The Better Business Bureau gives RMC Miami an A+ rating with no complaints in the last three years; the business is not BBB accredited, and the BBB lists Yvonne Lima as president and Pete Lima as manager. On Yelp the business appears under the Real Muscle name with 21 reviews at the time of our search. The dealership is also unusually visible online: it publishes video features on its cars on its website and YouTube channel, with new episodes in August and September 2026, and it has been covered by Hagerty and Turn 14. Press attention says nothing about a specific car, so judge each one on its documents and an independent inspection.
