Then the recession hit with a bang, and the
classic cars stopped coming, the racing and
performance cars ceased needing anything
and it looked like the end of the “hobby”
business. It could of been for those with less
determination and passion, which is not how
anyone would describe Don Ramsay. He
had to make tough decisions, close certain
aspects and become a one man show selling
Porsche parts on Ebay. It wasn’t easy, but it
worked, keeping alive the passion that has
now fully reignited on Lexington Avenue
in Knoxville.
Being creative is key when surviving the tough
times, it was the birth of artistic talent using
Porsche parts that show a unique side of
this engineering mind. Don creates amazing
pieces of art from the unusable car parts,
one particular lamp is currently in the garage
of a very famous car collector who used to
host The Late Show. To date, he has created
numerous works, been commissioned for
particular pieces and is always looking for
ways to design instead of destroying.
Classic Porsche found abandoned is reborn by the Air Cooled Classics team to top racing performance. A total
transformation from forgotten to unforgettable!
