Classic Muscle

Classic Muscle is a classic car shop in Rancho Cordova, California, east of Sacramento. It works on American muscle cars, vintage classics and customs built before 1976, and its website says it handles restoration, repair, modernization and customization.

Who they are and history

The shop operates from 3341 Fitzgerald Rd, Suite A, Rancho Cordova, CA 95742. Its website describes more than 30 years of experience in the trade, and its About page names Brandon Kelley as owner and business manager, with a background that includes diagnosis, welding, fabrication, sheet-metal repair, engine and drivetrain tuning and electrical wiring. Business listings show the company itself dating from February 2016, so the 30-plus years refers to the team's hands-on experience rather than the age of the business.

What they restore

The shop says it focuses on American muscle cars and other vehicles made before 1976. Its portfolio pages mention a 1957 Chevy Stepside truck and a 1969 Chevelle, and the marque emphasis leans toward Chevrolet. Resto-mod and pro-touring work, meaning classic bodies with modern suspension, brakes and drivetrains, is a stated specialty alongside traditional restoration.

The work and services

• Full restoration of classic and muscle cars, according to the shop
• Resto-mod and pro-touring builds

Reputation

The website carries a testimonials page with customer comments, which are the shop's own selection. A Birdeye listing exists with 16 reviews, but we did not open it and so report no rating. No awards or concours results are listed on the site. As with any shop, check recent reviews on several platforms and ask to see finished work.
