The Insider Behind the Wheel

With roots in a small-town garage and a reputation that now spans the highest levels of motorsports and car culture, Zach Straits has turned a lifelong passion into a legacy. From rebuilding transmissions at 13 to restoring icons and racing them to record-setting finishes, Zach’s journey is anything but ordinary. Trusted by names like George Poteet and Wayne Carini, his story is one of grit, craftsmanship, and speed.

I recently purchased a barn find car that had not run in a while. I reached out to Zach to give me hand in getting it running. His knowledge in V8 engines goes way back over the years. He got the job done for me. He has a great network of knowledgeable friends all over the US if he can’t find the answer.

I met Zach about 10 years ago and with both of us being car guys we immediately became friends. Since then Zach has taken care of several cars of mine. He has prepped, detailed, transported, and shown them to perfection. With his commitment to detail we have brought home many awards from shows around the country. He has also helped us in the success we've had in Landspeed racing.

I just used Zach Straits with Dream Car Connection for a comprehensive evaluation of two collector cars. 5 star rating! Photos and documentation were precise and accurate. Professional in every category. He delivered everything I needed to know about the condition of the vehicles without me having to spend a lot of money and time traveling. Highly recommend!
