373: Running the Concours Show Circuit with Jason Manns

On this episode of The Collector Car Podcast, I visit Manns Restoration in Festus, Missouri—one of the nation's premier restoration shops where history, horsepower, and hand-built craftsmanship collide. I sit down with Jason Manns to talk about some of the extraordinary projects currently in the shop, including a wild and rare Spohn-bodied custom, a restomodded 1970 Mustang Boss 429 with modern muscle under the hood, and a stunning prewar Bugatti receiving concours-level attention. Jason shares insights into what it takes to prepare a car for the elite concours circuit—from Pebble Beach to Amelia Island—and how every detail matters when you're aiming for that Best of Show trophy. We also explore how his team balances authenticity and innovation, especially when it comes to blending classic style with modern performance. If you're passionate about preserving automotive history—or pushing it forward—you won't want to miss this deep dive into the world of world-class restoration. 🔧 Learn more at: 👉 https://mannsrestoration.com 🎧 Subscribe and share The Collector Car Podcast 📩 Have a car story or question?
