I want to send my '72 Z some place to get restored.

I would want this restoration to be top tier, probably leaning toward a near concours quality restoration.

I've been around cars for a long time, but they have been older Alfa Romeos. I'm familiar with every stage of a restoration. I have restored a few myself, I have bought a few restored and I have an original, untouched car. I understand there can be a huge difference in pricing depending on how restored you'd like the car. I understand getting a perfect car can be double the price of a weekend show restoration.

I also know that shops can really vary in what they consider quality.

We have some great shops around here that could make the car beautiful but I'd like to send it somewhere that specializes in Z's that would know what is right and what is not so right.

Any suggestions because I have no clue.

I posted this on another forum and they suggested to try here.

I live in Birmingham, AL

Thanks,

That was me who made that suggestion.

I suggest going on Bring a Trailer and look at some past auctions of top tier 240Zs.

Many descriptions will call out the shop commissioned to do the restoration.

I am thinking there are not many restoration shops that focus on Z's these days. Impatient Creations is doing good quality work. I think they are very expensive. But, they do good work. Looks like they are 30 minutes from Birmingham.

Familiar with them, agree with both of your assessments of them
