Your passion is our passion – as long as there’s a car involved! It’s been an absolute pleasure bringing Mike’s JP18 Wrangler up to Hollywood spec and nerding out about every little detail. Our restoration shop serves wide-ranging projects that not only broaden our skill set but connect us with great people.

Welcome… to Jurassic Park // Griot's Motors poured their classic car restoration skills into a movie car and it may have altered their DNA. If you can replicate the Wrangler, you can replicate the meme!

Credits // JP18 owner Mike for playing the lead (and being awesome to work with), Taylor in the driver’s seat ( paint mastermind), Julie our neighborhood Laura Dern of fame… and our T-Rex for running parking lot laps! Any guesses who’s in the suit?

Lambo in the House 🙌 Backstory: the 1967 Lamborghini Miura was designed in an off-the-clock effort by a group of young engineers and became the first high-performance, series-production, road car with a rear-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.

Sometimes a pink loofa is the answer… Restoring surfaces often leads to experiments in texture matching and Taylor is one to think outside the box. The result is a '64 Mustang door panel that looks, dare we say, so fresh and so clean

STAFF RIDES // It's not your typical grandkid hauler, but we'd expect nothing less from the creative mind and talented hands of legendary painter Jon Byers. His "slightly modified" 1955 Chevy Suburban won the 2025 Builder's Choice Award and the 2026 Chopped and Dropped award at Goodguys Pacific Northwest Nationals. (There isn't a category for interior mounted surfboards… yet.) We count ourselves lucky to have Jon on the team!

Shout out to the unfinished projects 🙌 What are you working on? Phillip shares his 1972 BMW 3.0CSI. We love showing off the paint in current-state… he would like to drive the thing. Visit us at GoodGuys PNW Nationals July 24-26 and check it out in person!
