Dream Cars USA - Making Dreams Come True Since 1977

Welcome to our 32 year old father-son operation, my name is Ron Watson and my sons name is Keith. We live in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in the small town of Athens, Tennessee. We have been in the automotive related business since 1977 and have a brick and mortar showroom and garage location here in Athens  (click here for directions to our showroom).

I have been restoring classic cars since the early 1960s and still love restoring at the ripe old age of 63. I served in the US Army in the late 60s as a Chinook helicopter mechanic/crew chief in Vietnam and as an instructor at the US Army Aviation School. I also worked for several years as a auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens.

Keith and I started restoring his first car when he was only 13 - a classic red 1964 ½ Mustang that he still owns and drives today. He is now 37 and grew up watching The Dukes of Hazard. He loved the Dodge Charger named General Lee, so about 7 years ago he built one. He loves the sound of the 440 engine and has had "The Dukes" sign the car. His 3 year old daughter says she "loves John Snyder’s signature and their picture with him”.

Together, my son and I have built and restored many incredible classic and muscle cars - including the black 1969 Mustang fastback featured in Keith Urban's video "Sweet Thing".  While driving the car Urban was inspired to write the hit country song "Sweet Thing" , which not only refers to the Mustang, but is also his pet name for wife Nicole Kidman who purchased the car for Urban as an anniversary gift. The song was a big hit and you can see the mustang in action in the "Sweet Thing" video on YouTube. We have also built replicas of the car known as Eleanor, featured in "Gone In 60 Seconds", starring Nicolas Cage & Angelina Jolie. You may have seen our cars in several other movies, music videos, and possibly on the street as well. - check out our Celebrity Sales page for more info.

Other cars we have built and restored include Cobras, Shelby replicas, Woody Wagons, Street Rods, Restomods, Antiques and many  different makes and models of Muscle Cars. We have sold cars to a NASCAR crew chiefs, NFL football players,  Major League Baseball players,  professional basketball players and to the Route 66 Car Show in California.

We regularly ship cars all over the world including Australia, England, Denmark, Sweden and several other countries (click here to view our Global Sales Map). If you find your Dream Car on our site don't worry about getting it, we arrange all the logistics and our preferred carrier (???????) has never let us or our customers down.

We are true hard core car guys that will be involved with cars all our lives. Please take time to come see us here in the beautiful green hills of east Tennessee “Athens is known as the friendly city”.

Ron & Keith Watson
