Supercar Specialties

Supercar Specialties, Inc. is a muscle car restoration shop at 11817 E Grand River Ave in Portland, Michigan, between Lansing and Grand Rapids. It focuses on Pontiacs and other 1960s and 1970s performance cars. The shop's website describes more than 30 years of restoration work.

Who they are and their history

State corporate records show Supercar Specialties, Inc. was formed on July 28, 1994, with Scott A. Tiemann as president and agent. The shop says Scott's father Jerry took part in its early history, and that a 1965 GTO was the car that launched the business.

What they restore

The shop specializes in Pontiac muscle cars such as GTOs and Trans Ams, along with Plymouth Mopars. Projects shown on its site include a 1965 and a 1964 GTO, a 1968 Hemi Road Runner, a 1963 Tempest Super Duty, a 1969 Trans Am convertible, a 1970 Plymouth GTX and 1960 and 1963 Catalinas.

Work done in the shop

The site presents full restoration as the main business, with paint and bodywork part of the process. It does not give a detailed list of in-house trades such as upholstery or machine work, so ask which are done on site and which are subcontracted.

Notable projects and recognition

The shop says its cars have been featured in Muscle Car Review, Hemmings Motor News, Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hot Rod, Car Craft, Popular Hot Rodding and Super Chevy. Those claims come from the shop's site and we did not check individual issues. No trophies or concours awards are listed.
