Air Cooled Classic has ventured into all
available aspects of Porsche from racing
to restoration. For Don Ramsay, it was an
unexpected career, as post graduating
from the University of Tennessee as a
Mechanical Engineer, his path seemed set
at ORNL. There were a few hints, in college,
a professor asked about Don’s sweet ride,
next thing you know that Porsche had a
new owner and future possibilities where
knocking. He continued the “hobby” of
buying and selling the classics until finally
making the bold move to open a business.
Air Cooled Classics offering service,
complete restoration, and racing
prefabrication, engines, transmission
suspension and set up opened in 1988.
Air cooled classics arrived from around
the country for the special attention.
The team traveled around the US with
the racing and performance specialities
offered. It was the perfection of finding
something you love and figuring out how
to many money at it.
Don Ramsay and the Air Cooled Classics team leads the industry in retro-trending restoration with fabrication to
create the desired Porsche from any Porsche chassis.
