Featured Car

A large, spacious car that appeared for one year only, the Ford Sunliner convertible was endowed with graceful lines accented by tastefully proportioned tailfins. The Sunliner convertible presented here is the culmination of an on-the-frame restoration on a rust-free example completed in 2009.

Its documented matching-numbers drivetrain features Ford’s strong Y-code 352/300 HP 4-barrel engine, in this case fitted with rare dealer-installed cast iron headers, and a 3-speed Cruise--O-Matic transmission. Optioned with power steering and a power top, the car is beautifully finished as original in Monte Carlo Red with a Black and White interior, and is entirely correct with the exception of chromed large diameter Coys C55 wheels and low-profile rubber.

“Quality is always #1.”  That has always been my philosophy, and what you can expect at Mike’s Classic Cars and Restorations.  

I’m Mike Patak, owner of Mike’s Classic Cars.  After 27 years of working in, and then owning one of the largest pork processing plants in the country, I know that quality sells itself.  Whether we are talking about the meat business or the classic car business, people expect quality.  That is why I constantly strive to provide the highest quality restorations and muscle cars.

I have been an avid car collector for over 35 years and am proud that many of my cars are considered “the best of the best.”  My knowledge of Ford's, Mustang's and Shelby's started in the mid 70’s when I worked at a Ford dealership in Crete, NE.  I have always been a “Ford Guy” but over the years I have also come to appreciate many other makes and models.

In January 2004 I sold my ownership in the pork plant and decided to fulfill a life long dream of owning a dealership with an emphasis on 60’s and 70’s muscle cars and restorations.  I opened Mike’s Classic Cars in Blair, NE.  This centralized midwest location enables me to be very competitive in shipping autos anywhere in the continental United States.  If you need the car delivered, we have the capability to deliver your car ourselves in our enclosed trailer, or make arrangements for you with a commercial hauler.

My staff and I are here to help you find or restore “your piece of auto nostalgia”.  Please call us at (402) 533-4667 for restoration rates and schedule availability. Check our inventory often as it changes frequently.  We look forward to earning your business and not only meeting but exceeding your classic car quality expectations.
