General Manager: Brian Barr
“Here lies Brian Barr: Racer, Writer, Rocker.” That’s how I’ve always imagined my headstone.
My love for cars started young, fueled by dreams of California highways and countless hours spent flipping through Hot Rod and Road & Track. My dad—a true car guy and hands-on mechanic—was my first mentor, and I was his eager assistant. Weekend drives with my grandfathers sharpened my eye for hidden gems, as we searched the countryside for classic cars.
That early passion grew into a lifelong career in the automotive world. I’ve held diverse roles across the industry—from finance and vintage car sales to working with prestigious marques like Ferrari. My enthusiasm for automotive history also led to contributing to two books on barn finds, chronicling adventures across the country as my buddy’s right-hand man on the ultimate treasure hunt for forgotten vehicles.
Outside the garage, I’ve spent time on stage as a drummer and guitarist in local bands, and even managed a country music tour in the ‘90s. While music is a creative outlet, cars have always been the heartbeat of my life.
Today, I’m proud to call Cornelius, North Carolina home—a self-proclaimed gearhead, vintage racer, and motorcycle enthusiast still chasing the next great ride.
