“It’s Your Money – Spend It In Mesa.”
Classic Performance Restorations in Mesa Arizona is one of the top classic and exotic automobile restoration shops in the country. Owner Tom Mischke and his team are responsible for the restorations behind many award-winning cars. Classic Performance Restorations has garnered multiple honors from the Ferrari Club of America, Streets of Carmel Show, Cavallino, Aston Martin Owners Club, IGF Jaguar Show, and many others.
Boutique Customer Service. CPR is a small restoration shop heavily focused on customer service. Tom is directly involved in every project and speaks with each customer himself. His philosophy is that not only should the restoration be performed to technical perfection, but the car should also be made to perform in a manner that will deliver the most enjoyment to the owner. There are no roadblocks or hurdles that Classic Performance Restorations cannot overcome.
As Tom says, “At CPR, the cars we build are not “job’s” and our clients are not just “customers”. We build some of the rarest and most beautiful automobiles for very special people. We strive each day to restore life to these amazing cars and do so with the care and creativity that both the car and the owner deserve.”
Hard to Find Parts and Fabrication Services. When performing an exacting restoration on a rare automobile, finding the correct parts can be a challenge. Custom Performance Restorations has developed a network of suppliers, vendors, collectors, and automotive historians over the last 20 years that is second to none. If the part exists anywhere in the world, CPR can find it. If it doesn’t exist, their custom fabrication shop can make it from scratch as close to original equipment as possible. CPR is happy to make these parts available to restoration shops and auto enthusiasts who enjoy doing their own work. See the Custom Performance Restorations online parts catalog.
Vapor Trapper. Having a full fabrication shop at their fingertips allows Custom Performance Restorations to develop solutions to many of the problems that plague not only classic cars, but modern vehicles as well. Their most recent innovation, Vapor Trapper, is poised to change the classic car hobby in a major way. Before EPA regulations mandated closed loop fuel systems, gasoline vapors were an annoyance that had to be tolerated by every auto owner. Fast forward to today and people are no longer used to the smell of gasoline in their cars or homes. When a classic Maserati or a modern engine swapped custom sits in a closed garage, the fuel smell can be overwhelming.
Tom was presented with this challenge when a customer brought him a 1962 Jaguar that was emitting a strong gasoline odor. Looking at the fuel tank, Tom sought to find a way to capture the vapors that were being vented directly into the atmosphere. Knowing that activated charcoal is used to capture odors, Tom looked everywhere for an existing charcoal cannister that could be adapted to automotive use. When he couldn’t find one, he decided to make it himself.
The result is Vapor Trapper by Shop48, a universal billet aluminum charcoal cannister that traps gasoline vapors before they can escape from the fuel system. Easily installed anywhere above fuel tank level, Vapor Trapper absorbs gas odors while allowing the fuel tank to vent normally. The charcoal lasts for a long time. When it becomes saturated, simply unscrew the top, replace the charcoal, and the Vapor Trapper is ready to go. Vapor Trapper is now installed on every car that passes through Tom’s shop.
Vapor Trapper is available both to the general public and directly to repair and restoration shops so they can make their customers as happy as Tom does. Available in anodized black or machined aluminum finish, with standard hose barbs or -6 ORB 3/8 fittings. Custom billet installation clamps are also available. Vapor Trapper is made in the USA and comes with a lifetime warranty.
From award winning restorations to innovative automotive solutions, Tom and his team at Classic Performance Restorations are transforming the classic and custom car experience.
