Originally ridden by Mark Breslford in the AMA, this former “Wrecking Crew” Harley was built to win races on both sides of the Atlantic. Moving through the building, it was hard to miss this stunning Harley-Davidson XR750TT. Luckily, PJ was there to guide me and share his wisdom on each of the various projects located in the shop. Being visually drawn in so many directions, my wide eyes didn’t know where to start. Everyone has heard the kid in a candy store reference, but how often do you actually get to see the kid in a candy store? That was me I was immediately transformed into a little kid in a candy store. His affection for restoration grew in lock-step with his experience and knowledge base, which pushed him to open Redline Restorations, which is located in Bridgeport, CT.įlash-forward to the tour day I arrived at RR to an extremely-courteous and warm welcome from numerous members of the company’s staff, including PJ Pitcher, their resident PR and media specialist. After moving to Stamford, CT, Amster began working for renowned auto collector Malcolm Pray in the Greenwich area. Amster, destined to be in the automotive business from birth, was introduced to the restoration process by his father, Bruce, who owned and operated his own restoration shop in Massachusetts. Fast forward three years – almost to the day – and I had the ultimate opportunity to tour their original facility before they move into their new headquarters.įounded in 2003 by Colton Amster, Redline Restorations (RR) is a full-service automotive restoration center which specializes in bringing high-dollar vintage rarities back to life, and winning world-famous Concours d’Elegance shows in the process. From that moment, I instantly became a fan of Redline Restorations.
I was in shock that someone was finally using those cars as they were originally intended. As it turned out, the company specializes in restoring rare vintage vehicles into Concours condition – including Ferraris. I started to investigate deeper into this questionable video, and discovered it was uploaded by Redline Restorations. The owner would never treat a vintage Ferrari like that!” I thought. My mind began to question the legitimacy of the vehicle. Until this point in my life, I had never considered that rare and expensive cars like these were driven, only guarded and cared for inside temperature-controlled garages. For me, that golden post happened back in 2013 when I stumbled onto this video of a vintage Ferrari 250TR screaming by another car on the highway. Every now and then, Facebook’s ridiculously-complicated algorithm recommends a post that ends up being a piece of gold.
