The MAECO Cars.

We work on the most wonderful cars ever built -- from the monsters of the sixties and seventies, from Ford, Chevy, and Shelby -- to the more current beasts of the eighties and nineties, including racers from NASCAR and Trans-Am.

We service the sharpest street cars in California and we restore, build, and race-prepare the fiercest competition cars in the Southwest.   Below are some of our favorites...

The Shelby GT350

They're all alike and they're all different, too. The quintessential big bore road racer from the sixties. MAECO specializes in tweaking these beautiful beasts into race-winning rides.

The Mustang

The first -- and arguably the best -- of the pony cars. The affordable performance fantasy ride, for the street or the track.

This pristine Boss Mustang is an original Bud Moore Ford Factory TransAm race car, serial number 01. It was originally driven by George Follmer and Parnelli Jones.

The Camaro

Chevy's answer to the Mustang started the argument that became Trans-Am racing and continues today.


Trans-Am

Perhaps the most competitive race series of all time was the SCCA's professional Trans-American racing. It's the series that continues today, both in a vintage format and a contemporary format. We have participated successfully in both series.

Tomy Drissi

A number of MAECO Motorsport prepped Trans-Am cars were invited to participate in the Tribute to Trans-Am held at the Petersen Automotive Museum.

The Corvette

Beautiful and super-fast, too. The Beach Boys liked the Vettes, and so do the ladies.

The Shelby Cobra & the Contemporary Cobra Replica

King of the beasts. Carrol Shelby started something that just won't go away. They don't make 'em like that anymore -- but you can. The best kit car in the world.

The Sunbeam Alpine & Tiger

This just shows that MAECO can do it all.  Even British cars can be made fast and reliable.

GTP Ford Probe

The MAECO-prepared 1987 Roush GTP Ford Probe was originally driven by Pete Halsmer and Scott Pruett.

NASCAR

The big boys.  And the bad boys. Nobody does it better than NASCAR. Steel and rubber speeding around ovals and road racing tracks every weekend.   We prepare a variety of NASCAR Winston Cup cars, such as the Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Monte Carlo & Lumina, and Pontiac Grand Prix.

Pro-SCCA GT1 & Trans-Am

Fierce competition is still the hallmark of the current Trans-Am race series.  It is the pinnacle of sports car racing today.
