About Us
Hey there! I’m Gary Greer, owner of A Touch of Classics.
I bought my first car in 1972 for $500.
It was a 1966 Rambler Rebel. White with black vinyl top, two door hardtop, three speed on the column inline six cylinder engine. First and reverse did not work, so until I fixed it up, it required careful parking or it would have to be pushed out backwards. One late night in 1972 I was cruising around with my buddies when Susie cruised by us in her ’68 Charger. I punched the accelerator, passed her, and watched in my rearview for her headlights to rise up, and they did I said her she comes. Susie blew past us with a roar and as her taillights started to fade in the distance we heard a BOOM. I flashed my headlights, and thankfully Susie turned around to give us a ride home. The next morning I returned to the Rambler and determined it was a blown clutch. All that was left was clutch dust, rivets and the center metal piece on the transmission shaft. I soon learned how to replace a clutch…

In 2011 I traded a 1996 Volvo wagon for a 1966 Ford Mustang Coupe.
The Mustang was an abandoned project left sitting in the owner’s garage for 10 years. I worked on it for ten weeks and got it ready to hit the road again. This was the first time I had tinkered with classic cars in over 30 years. I enjoyed getting the Mustang up and running again, so once it sold I decided to fix up another classic. While browsing Craigslist a 1967 Mustang Coupe caught my eye. I drove over to take a look and met Ken Valentine. He took me on a tour of his classic car collection, and asked for my help marketing his cars.
I thought it sounded like a fun way to make some extra money, and that’s where A Touch of Classics began.
If you are in the market to buy a classic vehicle or want to sell an individual car or collection, I will be happy to help you out. You can reach me by call or text at (972)775-1660 or email at gary@atouchofclassicstx.com
