This is a very interesting and rare car that was originally built in Lakewood, Colorado. Bob Carnes (Bo-Car) built a series of Bocar racing and touring cars in the late 1950s and 1960s.
This exceptional 1969 Porsche 911S Soft Window Targa is one of just 15 built, featuring the fuel-injected 2.0 'S' engine and first-year long wheelbase chassis.
Our customer's parents purchased this car new in Northern California. It has been in their family ever since. They have decided to have us restore the car completely.
This 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster was at another shop for a VERY long time. The work was dragging on and taking too long. The car was actually painted in Denver over 20 years ago, then the project stalled.
UPDATE - This beautiful Daytona recently won First in Class, then Best in Show at the 2023 WeatherTech Concours D'Elegance at Road America - Elkhart Lake.
Farland Classic Restoration completed a custom repaint of the iconic 1967 Ford Mustang GT500E Eleanor Super Snake. This rare muscle car has a captivating history:
We know and love these classic Mercedes-Benz 280SL here in the shop. This one was in terrific shape, and is just ready for some paint restoration, interior work and mechanical.
This Alfa Romeo was sourced for EV conversion and restored in-house before heading to Moment Motors. Finished in fresh paint with hidden electric seat controls and pre-wired for electric drive, it’s a clean, sorted platform ready for its next chapter.
This is a complete classic Ferrari restoration we performed a while ago. It's a great example of our work, especially in disassembly, documentation and metal work.
Shop owner Jack Farland found this classic Mercedes-Benz for a customer of ours. It's a very nicely preserved 280SL in Mercedes Red with Parchment interior with a manual transmission.
This 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera Cabriolet is a rare blend of classic air-cooled purity and exclusive, special-order flair. Originally finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (code L92U), this car was custom-built through Porsche’s Exclusive program with a dramatic interior upgrade: special-order Boxster Red full leather, including dash, center console, door panels, and plush carpets

Just bought a ‘64 Jaguar E-Type that Farland had on consignment. I am fortunate to be local and was able to inspect the car in person and have a mechanic I have used previously do a pre-purchase inspection. The cars condition was accurately represented online. I worked with Bill who was very responsive and transparent. I feel that the purchase price was fair and I would not hesitate to work with Farland again.

So I have been a Porsche owner all my life. I love the older cars and have owned very many and drive all of them all the time. However I drove to Austin in Oct. for the F1 race. On the way my newer Macan GTS got series road damage from roadwork on the way there. Apex autobody said the only people that could make the car right was Farland Restoration. Wow! Were they right. They made my car better than new. Just amazing. It was an hour drive from Boulder but I will do it again to have have all my cars detailed by this great company. Just check in with Doug. He is the guy and you will be so happy you did!

The Farland team is second-to-none! This is a definite 5-star establishment. I brought our 1970 Mercedes Benz 280SL to have a couple of issues looked at and was referred to them by my neighbor who had his 190SL's gearbox rebuilt. Doug Brown the operations chief and Tessa Farland were both fantastic--clear communications and expectation management. Clear description of work to be done and the cost of that work, which is always a big deal when dealing with an older car. The great thing about Farland is that they have vast experience with the cars that they deal with and so you can rely on them because they have likely seen your issue before. When i went to pick up our car, i was given a tour of the facility, which is clean enough to eat off the floor as they say, and you could see the workmanship and attention to detail. I would trust these guys with my 280SL again.

Farland Classic was a pleasure to work with in the restoration of my 1964 Corvair Monsa, which I bought new, on July 8 1964. Having had the car that long, one can imagine how important it is to me. Jack Farland and company did all of the exterior body and paint work. They did a wonderful job. Please notice how clean and orderly their shop is. Having managed large industrial shops, that is one of the things that convinced me that they were the best. That project is now several years old. When I take the car to the local car show, it receives a lot of attention.

I began working with Farland Classic Restoration roughly 15 yrs ago. Since that time, Farland has restored (and serviced when necessary) three vehicles for me. Their work is first rate and their attention to detail is exceptional. Their people are likewise first rate, highly skilled and extremely attentive. (Specific shout-out to Doug and Tessa!) They forge long-term relationships and never disappoint. The Denver Metro Area is very fortunate to have a firm like Farland in our backyard. Suffice it to say, I highly recommend Farland.

I wish I owned 10 more cars so that I could take them all to Doug and the team. Intricate metal work, perfect paint matching, great communication. He and the team are PHENOMENAL!
Won't even think twice with bodywork/paint/mechanical. Everything now goes to Farland.

I'd been searching for a Mercedes 560SL for months, but kept coming up empty until I found Farland Classic Restoration. I was fortunate enough to work with sales manager Bill Orth who patiently answered every one of my questions, offered expert advice and guided me through a process that can often be daunting (particularly for someone who has not previously navigated the web of buying a classic car). I honestly can't say enough about Bill's guidance and prompt communication - it made all the difference working with someone who very clearly cared about making sure this was the right car for me. Anyway, I couldn't be happier with my beautiful new SL and a sincere thanks to Bill and the entire Farland crew - Highly recommended!

I finally found a mechanic for my 1967 Mustang that I can trust to do it right the first time. I was having problems with a carburetor rebuild, sticking park brake, and shifter that gave my arm a workout. They fixed everything and it drives better than it has in years. I toured their facility and saw so many gorgeous cars and a shop that could do every part of a restoration. These are really the go to guys for classic cars.

When I decided to sell some of my more high end exotics I reached out to several people in that world. I happened to be visiting Colorado at the time and came across Bill Orth’s name in Denver. I knew Bill’s name from reading his published articles so I reached out to him. He was so welcoming, friendly, accommodating and informative. He has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and so willing to share and help and he’s extremely generous with his time. If you are thinking of buying or selling a car I would strongly suggest contacting Bill at Farland Classic Restoration. You’ll be working with a true gentleman.
