The Golden Touch: How DANRR Auto Body Restored a Legend
Danrr Auto Body is thrilled to share the incredible story of the Golden Sahara II, a legendary custom car with a history as unique as its design. We were honored to play a pivotal role in the vehicle's recent history, and we're proud to have been a part of the journey that led to it selling for an astonishing $1.3 million at a Mecum auction in Chicago.
The Golden Sahara II, with its iconic glowing tires and futuristic design, is a testament to the custom car era. Originally conceived by the legendary George Barris and owned by Jim Street, the car was recently brought back to life by the Klairmont Kollections in Chicago. It was during this restoration that fate intervened. Just before the car's international debut, it suffered significant damage in a transport accident.
This is where DANRR Auto Body, led by Phil Marotta, stepped in. With just five days to repair the damage before the car was due to be shipped to the Geneva International Motor Show, our team put in long hours, working around the clock to meticulously repair the body and get the car ready. Our dedication paid off, and the Golden Sahara II made its stunning international debut on schedule.
Upon its return, we had the honor of performing the complete re-restoration of the car, addressing every detail and returning it to its former glory. Our son Nick Marotta, a passionate painter, meticulously worked on the paint, ensuring the car's finish was absolutely flawless. The entire team at DANRR Auto Body went above and beyond, demonstrating the skill and dedication that defines our work.
The Golden Sahara II's recent sale at auction for $1.3 million is a powerful validation of the car's historical significance and the quality of the restoration work. It is a moment of immense pride for our entire team to have contributed to the legacy of this one-of-a-kind vehicle. This is more than a restoration story; it's a testament to our commitment to perfection and a reflection of the trust our clients place in us to handle projects of historical importance.
