Muscle CAr Restoration

What We Do

Ready to transform your classic muscle car into a show-stopper? 
At Real Rides, we’re specialists in the restoration and re-creation of iconic 1950s–1970s American and Australian muscle cars. With decades of hands-on experience, we combine authentic components with modern performance upgrades to deliver powerful, precision-built vehicles that stay true to their heritage — and turn heads on the road or at the show.

Whether you’re after a factory-faithful rebuild or a heavily modified custom build, we’ll bring your vision to life with craftsmanship that speaks for itself.

Let’s bring your dream car back to life — contact us today to get started.

OUR TEAM

Real Rides Ltd began in 2006 as a one-man panel and paint shop in a small block garage. From those early days, it has grown into one of Auckland’s leading vehicle restoration workshops.

Today, our experienced team covers nearly every part of the process. The growth may have been big, but the goal has stayed the same: building street cars with precision, passion, and respect for their heritage.
