The business began with parts sales and mechanical service, grew through word of mouth into a restoration shop, and later moved to Church Street in Willoughby, where it now occupies a multi-building site. The shop states it has more than 25 years of experience in ground-up restorations. Mr. Frangos also runs two related businesses, Northcoast Mustang Supply Co. and Northcoast Car Consignment.
