Austin, Texas — Est. 2009
A sanctuary for the world's most storied automobiles. We don't just restore classics — we resurrect the soul of an era, one precision detail at a time.
Every vehicle that enters Iron & Oak carries a story — decades of road dust, forgotten Sunday drives, the echo of an era when machines were built with soul. Our work begins not with wrenches and welding torches, but with listening. We study the lineage, decode the patina, and honor the original vision of engineers who poured their genius into steel and chrome.
Restoration, done right, is an act of reverence. We source period-correct components from trusted networks spanning three continents. We hand-finish surfaces that no one will ever see — because integrity isn't about what's visible, it's about what's true. The result is a machine that doesn't just run; it breathes, it commands, it endures.
Each acquisition begins with a private consultation. Share your interest below and a member of our curatorial team will respond within 24 hours with a detailed dossier — provenance documentation, mechanical assessment, and availability for a personal viewing at the garage.
All inquiries are handled with the utmost discretion.

Iron & Oak Garage
Built on grease, grit, and an obsession with getting it right
Every bolt we turn is a promise kept.
The early years were lean. Marcus worked alone most nights, rebuilding transmissions by the amber glow of salvaged industrial lighting, fueled by black coffee and a conviction that doing things right would eventually matter more than doing them fast. Word spread the way it always does when craft is genuine — one satisfied owner telling another, a concours judge quietly recommending the shop to a friend. By 2013, Iron & Oak had outgrown its original footprint and expanded into the adjacent warehouse, doubling capacity without ever compromising the intimate, unhurried atmosphere that had become its signature.
Today, the team numbers twelve — each one hand-selected not just for technical ability, but for a shared philosophy that borders on the devotional. We don't chase volume. We don't cut corners. Every vehicle that enters these doors receives the same meticulous attention, whether it's a numbers-matching '67 GT500 or a daily-driven Land Cruiser that's earned every dent. The oak workbenches are original. The standards haven't changed. And the coffee is still black.
Every nut, bolt, and panel returned to factory-correct splendor — or reimagined beyond it. Our frame-off process strips each vehicle to bare metal, documenting every step with obsessive precision. From media blasting and rust remediation to concours-level paint and chrome, we treat your classic as the irreplaceable artifact it is.
Heart transplants performed with surgical care. Whether it's a numbers-matching block needing a sympathetic refresh or a complete drivetrain overhaul with modern reliability upgrades, our machinists and technicians bring decades of marque-specific knowledge to every engine, transmission, and differential that crosses our lift.
The cockpit is where the conversation between driver and machine begins. We source period-correct materials — hand-stitched leather, correct-weave carpeting, NOS switchgear — and marry them with invisible modern comforts. The result is an interior that smells, feels, and looks exactly as the designers intended.
When it's time to pass the torch, we connect discerning sellers with qualified collectors through our curated network. Professional photography, detailed provenance documentation, and white-glove logistics ensure your vehicle commands the price it deserves — and finds the next steward worthy of its story.
