The Engine
From numbers-matching rebuilds to LS and big-block swaps, built and tuned to make the power you're after — and keep making it. Our anchor Camaro runs an LSX 454 around 700 horsepower.
Muscle Car Restoration.
Muscle cars are where this family started. Larry Morgan — the legend, as his sons call him — had a 1969 Camaro that ran through their whole growing-up: the homecoming car, the one nobody could learn a stick on, the centerpiece of every family story. Restoring muscle cars isn't a service line we added later. It's the reason there's a shop at all.
At Morgan Muscle Cars in Pelham, Alabama, we restore and build Camaros, Novas, Mustangs, and the rest of the muscle-era cars people hand down and chase down. Some we bring back factory-correct. Most get a little more — modern power, modern brakes — because a muscle car you can lean on is a muscle car you'll actually drive. Whatever the year, the work is done by hand, here, by people whose name is on the building.

What we focus on.
02
Stance & Wheels
Suspension and wheel choices that set the car right — aggressive without beating you up on the road. The look matters, and so does how it drives getting there.
03
Paint & Stripes
Factory colors or something of your own, with stripes sprayed and not stuck on. Bezels and trim painted to match, finished the way these cars deserve.
04
Brakes & Safety
Modern discs and the hardware to back up the horsepower, so the car stops as well as it goes. The fun part is easy; the stopping part is where the engineering shows.
Muscle cars we've built.
Common questions.
A few things people ask about muscle car builds.
What muscle cars do you restore?
Camaros, Novas, and Mustangs are the heart of it, but we'll take on most muscle-era cars. The Morgans are a Camaro family going back three generations, so first-gen Camaros are close to home — though the work is model-agnostic in practice.
Do you do numbers-matching restorations or resto-mods?
Both. We can bring a muscle car back to factory-correct, or build a resto-mod with modern power and brakes underneath classic looks. Most owners land somewhere in between — original character with a few modern upgrades so the car is easy to drive.
Can you do an LS swap on a classic muscle car?
Yes. LS and LSX swaps are a big part of what we do. Our 1969 Camaro RS Z28 runs an LSX 454 making close to 700 horsepower — classic muscle on the outside, modern power underneath.
