Relic is Restoration.

RELIC began as Classic Cars of Houston in 2000 in Houston, Texas, as a hot rod shop and classic car restoration facility. We quickly earned our reputation as one of the best in the business by building award-winning hotrods, muscle cars, and factory-correct restorations for satisfied customers worldwide. More than two decades later, with over 500 builds under our belt, we can confidently say we’ve done it all, and we’re ready to do it for you. WE ARE NOW HIRING!

Classic Cars of Houston evolved into RELIC because our restorations evolved beyond what you would expect with simple classic car restoration. (Read more about our history here.)

RELIC builds restomod, supercar, and customized creations. We start with an original vintage car, and, much like a good plastic surgeon, enhance the natural beauty with the most modern technology.

The result is the impeccable look, feel, and style of a vintage car, with the performance and possibility of the twenty-first century. Let us help you reimagine what your car should be, whether you want an award-winner, show car, or a visceral driving experience..

RELIC custom cars have classic car style with a restored exterior and custom upgrades, and modern amenities inside and under the hood.

Imagine an antique car that looks like an ordinary classic muscle car with the engine and suspension of a modern sports car. This is why we say RELIC is restoration. Are we still specialists in automotive restoration? Yes.
