Turnkey Performance Restorations by Sabra Johnson

Racing Attitude infused with Artful Restoration = Built By Sabra. 

At a quick glance, a pro-touring (performance restomod) build by Sabra Johnson might look like a restoration from a purist perspective, but there are some important differences. The deep stance and the powerful growl will awaken your senses. Sabra Johnson blends the iconic history of the build with the limitless possibilities of today's technology in a way grandma can appreciate. If a true restomod is two parts restoration and one part modification, a pro touring machine by Sabra Johnson is one part restoration and two parts modified, while maintaining that classic look and feel. Sabra Johnson is proven automotive restorer based in Houston Texas. 

Resto-mods (Custom-Inspired Builds) by Sabra

The term "restomod" is a combination of the words "restoration" and "modified." Think of a restomod muscle car as one that is two parts restoration, and one part modified, and you'll be really close. The recipe for a restomod is more restoration than modified, and those non-stock modifications are there strictly to help bring the vehicle up to or near the driving standards of a showroom-fresh performance car. The body lines of the car are often preserved to rekindle the historical significance of the make and model.  A Restomod by Sabra Johnson has is built inhouse at his world class automotive facilities based in Houston Texas.

Retro-mods (Factory-Inspired Builds) by Sabra

The phrase "retro-mod" is similar to a restomod but differs in that the modern features of the vehicle are camouflaged aesthetically to look identical to the original parts. Like in the case of a restomod, the retro-mod's body lines and brand distinctions are retained to ensure the historical correctness of the project. The Retro-mod is a pro-touring build on the luxury side that painstakingly seeks to clothe itself in originality. Sabra wants a luxury car to retain the look and feel of luxury not a re-imagined Hotrod, so these pro touring cars are offered as a Retro-mod by Sabra. Sabra Johnson has a proven reputation for building old school classics that look period correct from his state of the art automotive restoration facilities in Houston Texas.

We specialize in the process of getting your car as beautiful, or even more so, as the first day you saw it while making sure it has the safety and functionality to match your needs today. The S signifies super enhancements to the interior and other luxurious enhancements. The adjacent S to the model name also tells you that your stock model engine is stronger than stock.
