Who is PK?

With over 33 years of classic auto restoration,  Paul Kraft (PK) has done classic cars that have won 1st place at national & local shows, been in national magazines, been interviewed on TV, and have had cars sold at Barrett Jackson collector car auctions and to customers like Miami Ink’s Ami James. He takes pride in every aspect of the restoration process with the final reward coming when an owner sees their restored auto for the first time. PK’s Garage is nationally known, dependable and insured.  Paul guarantees it!

Paul’s love for cars started at a very young age.  As a teenager he started working at a dealership cleaning the shop, showroom, washing cars and eventually moved to oil changes and tire rotations.  He was recruited to help mechanics with side jobs on weekends and after school.  His knowledge continued to build through high school and after graduation spent time buying and fixing old cars for cash.

As his knowledge for cars grew, he was taking on more and more general automotive repair and eventually found a love for muscle cars.  His hobby turned full time in 1990 and for the next 20 years he built a business, requiring him to hire mechanics to support the work from customer referrals.

In 2005, Paul was contacted by Ami James, famous for his tattoo work on the TLC show Miami Ink.  Ami was looking for a 1970-1974 Barracuda and found PK Restorations, Paul’s Business, in the Mopar Collectors Guide.  “The story on the ‘Cuda tracks quickly back to E-body aficionado Paul Kraft in Mosinee, Wisconsin.  Paul owns PK Restoration Specialties, and the boy’s made his life’s work bringing old Challengers and Barracudas back to life.”  The article brought national attention to PK Restorations (now PK’s Garage) and business was booming.

Paul fell in love with the mountains of western North Carolina, outside Asheville, and now calls Maggie Valley, NC home.   Once again, Paul’s passion for classic cars and general automotive repair have called him back to the field he loves.
