The Garage

We are simply caretakers. The moment one fools him or herself into believing more, he or she is most likely three feet into a concrete wall. Since August, 2004, KMPR has been actively restoring, preserving and fielding vintage race cars and transporters, primarily those that began life in Dan Gurney's All American Racers shop in Santa Ana, California.

Some cars have amazing history. Some started and finished their lives classified simply 'also-rans.' Despite the disparity, each vehicle has a story, and it is the stories and people that are entwined in each car's history are what we long to keep alive. With each restoration comes great responsibility to showcase history in great detail and accuracy; to honor those who made each car a part of history, now a time capsule of a time when racing was at its peak.
