Muscle Car Beach
Who We Are…
Muscle Car Beach opened in Ferndale, Washington in 2023 behind Pete’s Auto Repair. It is a classic car repair shop that will leverage the skills and experience of Peter Harksell III to help keep classic cars and custom hot rods on the road.
Peter’s passion for hot rods, classics, and muscle cars began by seeing them driving on the road. Purchasing a 1968 Mustang while in high school and using it as his daily driver for nearly twenty years has really fueled that passion. Building custom show cars was an awesome experience that he will always treasure, but having his completed works of art trapped in a garage and never driven was eating away at his joy of the work he had been doing. Then, within the span of three years many things happened in Peter’s life to help him realize that he was no longer following his passion. His wife, Shelby, was ready for a career change, his son was starting school, the Covid-19 pandemic hit, and the family took a Route 66 road trip. The family did a lot of talking on that road trip, and they realized that it was time for a new life adventure.
After a few chats with his parents, they realized Peter was serious about making some major life changes and moving back to his home town. They suggested that he could use their storage building behind Pete’s Auto Repair to start his own new business. Most general repair shops don’t want to work on custom or classic cars and most custom car builders don’t have the time to do small upgrades or repairs and maintenance. Peter has the repair and problem solving experience of a mechanic, the fabrication, restoration and assembly skills of a builder, and he knows how to work on million dollar show winning pieces of automotive art. Now he wants to help keep the local car hobby alive by using those skills to help you complete, upgrade, enjoy, or simply maintain your pride and joy.
