About Garage Lore

Shop knowledge for classics, muscle and everything you keep in the garage — restoration, wrenching, buying and the stories behind the machines. Written by people who actually finish the project. Every guide is written to be useful first: tested advice, clear explanations and honest recommendations, with sources cited so you can check the work.

Who writes this

Sal Ruggiero — Founder & Editor
Sal has been turning wrenches for three decades, from a first seized-solid project car to a garage full of finished builds. He started Garage Lore to pass on the shop knowledge — the tricks, the history and the hard-won lessons — that keeps old cars alive.
