The American Old Timers of the KOVÁCS brothers Anyone who has stumbled upon this page may have had the same boyhood love affair with cars as we did. Even as kids we were only interested in the CAR, to drive it, to feel it's speed, and to get ahead. That is what was important. Over the years we've learned that what mostly attracted us was the American STYLE, SHAPE and STORY. The era in which car- designers' and customers' dreams have met and became a reality. These cars were truly works of wonder to us, in the world of European automobiles. Our goal became clear; that is to make these cars availabe to those who share our mutual attraction to the American style, strength and rich elegance. In 2002, we imported our very first Old Timer from across the pond. The vehicle's chassis was so badly corroded, that it became obvious to us it wasn't going to pass the National Old Timer Inspections. So we have decided to fully restore the car. Seeing the great results, from friends and aquaintances we were asked to restore their vehicles as well. And that is how it all got started. Since then, we have gained many years of knowledge, experience and routine in the field of dealership and home delivery. Why do we restore in Hungary? Since our cars ship exclusively from the US, it is imperative for us to oversee the restoration process. To ensure quality workmanship and avoid unpleasent surprises on vehicles renewed elsewhere. These risk factors are present even if our colleagues inspect the classic cars, so with the more prized automobiles we take the time and effort to personally investigate the vehicle's condition. Old and New at the same time! Our main goal with all of our Old Timers, may it be a classic or a muscle-car, is to preserve or purchase original parts for the restoration. For this reason what we do is even more than just mere restoration it is also a complete renewal of the vehicle, that results in more durability and longer life-span of the car. This painstaking process includes a complete overhaul of the engine area, corsing of the undercarriage, refurbishing the interior, chrome-plating various parts and making the car-body soundproof and airtight. Rewelding loose body joints and unique suface painting are just a few of the many necessary steps with old vehicles with out-dated manufacturing techniques. We always strive to save and preserve original parts as much as possible. This may seem like a lot of work, but it is the only way to minimize the use of refabricated parts. Galvanizing and Paintjobs. Our vehicles receive corrosion retardant and galvanizing treatment in our own workshop (METAL-UNION Kft.), which you can view for more information in the Partners menu. For best quality results in our renewal process, we also avoid using sintering and sand blasting as much as we can. On our webpage you can see almost all there is to see of the performed work on all available and already sold Old Timer American Cars. Bonuses:
Please don't hesitate to reach us with any questions or comments. Hope to see you soon! We wish you a pleasent journey! Ákos Kovács and Norbert Kovács  Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie Heavy Duty
The car has been newly registered with 0km in Hungary, tested for 6 people. It was made for an individual order in sport design, which also means blasting the front and rear bumper and the cooling mask. It has all the extras you could ask for in the new age of the car: in addition to the Laremie equipment, which includes motorized adjustable heated velor embroidered seats, the Infinity sound system and a computer integrated into the roof trim. A DVD player monitor is factory installed on the front seat headrests, which I later replaced with a Sony brand so they can be used with game consoles. The steering wheel controlled navigation head unit is also included as a factory extras, which works perfectly with the entire European map. There are a total of 4 monitors in the car: Two in the headrests, one that can be fixed on the passenger side, and one that is both a rear view-rear view camera and a DVD monitor. The factory platform liner with the DODGE emblem was also available as an optional extra. It is made in Heavy Duty design, which means for example 7 cm of a factory made lift, and reinforced front-rear axle and differential. It also has a differential lock which is electrically switchable in two stages. A LEER branded (that is the best quality manufacturer), colorblown platform cover body structure with tinted openable side windows could be also ordered to the car. The car is licensed to carry 6 people with a B license. The vehicle is in perfect technical and aesthetic condition. It has received a complete technical and aesthetic automatic transmission upgrade without compromise. At this point a hydraulic conversion kit and a pressure control valve were installed, which, like the steering gear, was released by the manufacturer as a modification to the car's transmission. This makes shifting up and down faster and more accurate. The car's transmission has also been completely refurbished at the same time as the gearbox in terms of both technical and aesthetic content. On the 190 cm long platform 2 EUR standard pallet fits comfortably. The Cummins diesel engine is the world's most reliable diesel engine when maintained and serviced with factory parts and oil, so it goes 1 million kilometers without any problems. Series 6-cylinder 5.9L 24V 325LE and at 1600 rpm it has a torque of 830Nm. Officially, according to factory data, it can tow 8100 kg and carry 1600 kg, so it can move almost 10 tons. It has always been serviced with factory-made Cummins engine oil and original Chrysler (Mopar) filters, even now these are in the car which has just been changed. A few thousand kilometers ago he got over a complete technical renovation. Literally, all the worn parts have been replaced with factory Mopar parts. All ball heads, 4 dampers, all brake discs and brake pads, all blushes, dust cover rubber bells, steering linkage shock absorber, all cardan shafts, automatic transmission oil and filter, both differentials oil, half shafts have been pulled out, their ends have been surface treated, bearings and seals have been changed, etc. I replaced the factory-installed lower-quality steering gear with a factory-fitted but redesigned and refurbished, reinforced steering gear that was issued by Chrysler in 2008 after many complaints about the original lower-quality steering gear. At the same time, the steering linkage together with the ball heads has been replaced with a new design that fits the reinforced steering. The same is true for all chassis parts, the rear bumper, all screws and brackets. For even more efficient cooling (which would only occur in extreme heat and towing conditions) an extra cooling fan is installed in front of the air conditioning radiator so that in these extreme cases the standard-quality cabin cooling is not lost. Along with this, the viscous clutch and full control, belt, water pump, and generator have been replaced of course with genuine Chrysler parts, the water cooler removed and cleaned.  1950 Pontiac Streamliner Eight Deluxe Sedan

One out of a 100 of the 1967 series
There are some who would argue that 1967 was the peak year for automotive performance during the muscle car era. Whether or not this is true, one thing is for certain; by 1967, high performance in a full-sized car was quickly becoming an outdated concept. Every manufacturer had lessened their restrictions on large engine displacements in smaller vehicles. The result was mega-horsepower engines finding their way into small, lightweight cars that could easily dispatch lesser competition. As a result, there were few buyers who found the idea of a large frame car packed with a high-performance engine as appealing anymore, nevertheless for those true full-size die-hards out there, Chevrolet came through for them with a new high performance package of options to supplement the standard Impala Super Sport -- the SS427. This new option was only available on the Impala Super Sport coupe and convertible models that were in their last year as separate models in the Impala lineup. The standard Impala Super Sport no longer carried the swagger it had enjoyed in years past, now featuring an increased emphasis on luxury and good looks instead of performance. The Impala SS models boasted nothing more than a trim package and the 1967 Impala SS could be had even with six-cylinder engines, that certainly didn't appeal to anyone who wanted the maximum "bang" for their buck. So, in an attempt to restore the sporty, performance image to the Impala Super Sport, Chevrolet introduced the SS427. Chevrolet's Regular Production Option (RPO) code for this newest Super Sport was Z-24 and it finally gave big Chevrolet enthusiasts a Super Sport to get excited about again. A 385 horsepower 427 cubic inch V-8 engine, special domed hood, heavy duty suspension with front stabilizer bar and "SS427" emblems in several locations certainly seemed able to satisfy the appetites of even the most demanding customers. This is a stunning example of one of the 2,124 factory original SS427s built, it also has the distinction of being one of the 100 or so SS427 automatic convertibles ever produced. This car has had a full restoration, and has only 59,080 ORIGINAL MILES. The car is fully optioned with factory options; TH400 Automatic, Tilt Wheel, Wood Wheel, Tach and gauges, AM-FM 8-Track Stereo, Power Seat, Power Steering, Comfortron Automatic Air Conditioning, Power Windows, Speed Minder and much more. Along with the stunning and classic factory Colors of Bolero Red with White pearl interior, the entire package is nothing short of outstanding. This is a Los Angeles built car which has the L in the serial number and no build sheet was found inside the car, however it has been since discovered that the trim tag of a true SS427 has a special code which designates the rare option, code "4D". The car also retains its original numbers matching engine code for a 427ci 385hp SS427 with a TH400. There are also important structural elements incorporated ONLY into an SS427 convertible not used on any other Impalas. This SS427 has been inspected and certified by Tom Dietz, noted Impala expert and historian. It also has two affidavits: One from the most recent owner and one from the private detective verifying the cars authenticity as well as a certificate of authenticity from Nickey Chicago, Inc. #111860.

This pickup is a dream come true. Since I first saw it as a child, have been in love with it. According to the owner this classic car had a rough history, but after few days of tinkering we got it to work. The overall repairs took a mere 3 years!
