It’s not very often that opportunity knocks this loudly, but when it does, it’s best you throw open that door. In this case, US Car Tool (USCT Motorsports) is looking for an enterprising individual to purchase or partner with the sale of their hot rod shop. This fully-equipped facility has been producing custom hot rods, pro touring rides and even concours restorations for decades now.
Located in Graham, North Carolina, USCT Motorsports’ shop is joined with their R&D and production facility, soo arrangements will need to be made to accommodate a move, separation of the two parts of the building, or as stated in the original listing, a partnership between the new owner and current, John Pasemann. You can start 2026 with a whole new career and turn your passion into your day-to-day occupation.
Here’s the entire original listing:
This is strictly the high-end hot rod build side of US Car Tool – the part that turns heads at Goodguys, Mopar Nationals, SEMA, and every driveway it rolls into.
What’s on the table:
- The completely stocked and outfitted 20,000 sq ft Graham, NC facility (or we can relocate the build division – your call)
- All the fabrication and restoration equipment you’ll need: six BendPak lifts, Frame Tables, CNC Tube bender, English wheel, Pullmax, bead rollers, Shrinker / stretcher, planishing hammers, Pro Spot Welder, TIG/MIG stations, chassis Hub dyno, alignment rack, media blast cabinet, Fixtures/Jigs, the works.
- The US Car Tool name, reputation, and customer list as it relates to full vehicle builds (the product manufacturing and mail-order business stays separate and is NOT part of this deal)
- Current pipeline of six-figure projects already on the books
- Crew of fabricators, mechanics, and guys who can metal-finish a quarter panel
- blindfolded
- Established vendor relationships for parts, glass, stripes, upholstery, plating – the best in the Southeast
We specialize in:
- Installing US Car Tool Chassis Stiffening kits
- Ground-up Mopar restifications (A/B/E-body, early trucks, whatever)
- Pro-Touring builds
- Gen-3 Hemi swaps, coil-over conversions, 4-links, mini-tubs, full tube chassis
- Concours-correct restorations that win gold and still drive 100 mph without rattling
The product business will remain separate and continue to pay its own way elsewhere. This opportunity is purely the turn-key, high-dollar build shop that’s been limited only by the owner’s bandwidth for the last decade. Remove that bottleneck and there is literally zero ceiling.
Looking for:
- A serious fabricator/restorer who can lead from the front and swing a hammer when needed
- Someone with the vision (and capital) to take this from 3–4 builds a year to 15–20+ and dominate the Mopar high-end space
- Partner or outright buyer – flexible structure for the right person
Profitable today. Explosive upside tomorrow. NDA and proof of funds required. No brokers, no dreamers.
