About Us
Built By legacy. Driven by passion. Engineered for the future.
At Cassar Performance & Design, we don't just build cars—we build legacies. Our story is rooted in the soul of American craftsmanship, forged by the hands of tradesmen, gearheads, and visionaries who lived and breathed the power of the open road. We exist to carry forward a tradition that was born in dusty garages, drag strips, and Detroit assembly lines—a tradition fueled by raw horsepower, unwavering precision, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
Every build that rolls out of our shop is more than metal, paint, and performance. It's a declaration. A statement of who you are, where you came from, and what you stand for. Whether it's a ground-up pro-touring restomod, a high-performance modern muscle machine, or a one-of-a-kind design born from CAD and custom fabrication—we approach each project with the heart of a purist and the mind of an engineer.
We blend the grit of old-school American ingenuity with cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking design. From concept to final torque, our team lives by the code of authenticity, quality, and vision. This is not about following trends. It's about setting the bar, raising the standard, and delivering machines that will stand the test of time.
We're here to serve those who believe a car should tell a story, stir the soul, and leave a legacy. The kind of client who values the journey as much as the destination—who understands that craftsmanship isn't rushed, passion can't be faked, and performance must be earned.
This isn’t just another shop. This is a standard. A creed. A way of life.
Welcome to Cassar Performance & Design.
Let’s build your legacy.
Our mission
Where Legacy Meets Innovation. Where Passion Becomes Performance.
At Cassar Performance & Design, our mission is simple but unshakable:
To craft world-class automotive masterpieces that embody freedom, precision, and American grit — while inspiring every driver to drive their passion.
We exist to preserve the soul of classic muscle and merge it with modern performance, design, and craftsmanship. From one-off Pro Touring builds to full-scale production platforms, every project is a tribute to the American spirit — built with integrity, engineered for performance, and designed to leave a legacy.
We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to build icons.
We’re not just chasing horsepower. We’re chasing purpose.
Because to us, this isn’t just metal and machines — it’s a calling.
A tradition passed down. A vision we’re forging forward.
This is Automotive Art with Soul.
This is Cassar Performance & Design!
Built to Perform. Built to Inspire. Built to Last.
Our Core Values
The Code That Drives Us
At Cassar Performance & Design, we don’t just build — we live by a code. These are the values that fuel every decision, every build, and every legacy we leave behind:
1. Legacy First
We honor the ones who came before us — the tradesmen, the gearheads, the patriots. Everything we build carries their spirit.
2. Craftsmanship Above All
We don’t cut corners. Every bolt, weld, and design is done with intention, precision, and pride. We’re not building cars — we’re building masterpieces.
3. Innovation with Soul
We embrace new technology, but never lose the heart of old-school performance. From CAD to carburetors, we speak both languages fluently.
4. American Grit
We believe in hard work, personal responsibility, and the blue-collar backbone of this country. Our builds are forged in that same fire.
5. Passion Driven
This isn’t a job. It’s our calling. Every project is personal, because we’re not just building for today — we’re building legacies.
6. Respect the Craft, Respect the Customer
We treat every car and every client with the same level of respect — because trust is earned, not assumed.

Not Just Another Shop — A Statement
What sets Cassar Performance & Design apart isn’t just what we build — it’s how and why we build it. We’re rooted in legacy, but driven by the future. We carry a century of tradition — from family-run garages in Malta to American muscle in Michigan — and channel that heritage into every build. We’re more than technicians — we’re Artists, Engineers, and Visionaries.
Every CPD vehicle is a fusion of horsepower and harmony, design and discipline. We believe the best machines are the ones that tell a story before they even turn over. We offer full-spectrum capability. From full frame-off restorations to bespoke Pro Touring builds to production-ready platforms — our shop is equipped to bring visions to life at any scale.
Our standards are brutal — and we like it that way. We obsess over details. Fitment, finish, function — it all matters. Every CPD masterpiece must meet a standard higher than the customer’s: ours.
We build with purpose
Whether you’re looking to dominate your local track day or autocross, or create a show-stopping masterpiece that turns heads at every event — we build American Muscle that mean something. That say something. That stands the test of time.
