About Legacy Motorworks
Two Guys and a Garage
Buckle up, gearheads, and get ready to inject some nitrous into your automotive dreams! Legacy Motorworks isn't your average grease monkey joint. We're a band of gear-obsessed maniacs who bleed racing fuel and live for the checkered flag.
Brothers in blood, but rivals on the asphalt, Phil Buffington (#47) and Peter Jones (#58) are the masterminds behind this madness. Their love for the track runs deeper than an oil pan, and they're on a mission to make high-performance dreams a reality for anyone with a need for speed (and a healthy dose of adrenaline).
Remember that iconic #14daybuild that had the racing world buzzing? Yep, that's us. We threw caution to the wind and whipped up an endurance-ready SPEC E46 in record time, proving that fast, furious, and fantastically engineered can go hand-in-hand.
And we're not just about building show ponies. Our rides are battle-tested champions, dominating both Sprint and Endurance races, leaving competitors in the dust (and sometimes, tears).
But wait, there's more! In 2022, we widened our garage to welcome the Porsche SPEC Boxter, and 2023 saw us roar into the scene as the NorCal Rush SR Dealer and Service Center. We're building an empire of speed, one meticulously crafted race car at a time.
So, if you're tired of watching from the sidelines and have a burning need to feel the G-force press you into your seat, come see us. We'll build you a machine that will turn every race into a victory lap. Just remember, with great speed comes great responsibility (and probably a few speeding tickets).
Watch out world, Legacy is coming into 2024 HOT!
