Hello fellow DeLorean owners and enthusiast.
I have been quite busy over the past 18 months, as my company has expanded.
As most of you know, in 2003 I approached Stephen Wynne about opening a DMC center in Florida. I was looking to open a shop and wanted to align myself with the best in the business. Years later as customers approached me to work on other collector cars I put together a mental wish list of all the cool car things that I like. Being a performance and exotic car enthusiast I decided again to only align myself with the best in the business such as Shelby, Superformance and Dynojet. The following is a press release explaining my history and expansion. I thought I would share it with you all first.
Sincerely,
Tony Ierardi
PRESS RELEASE:
Tony Ierardi opened the first franchise of the new DeLorean Motor Company in 2004, it was the last center opened while John DeLorean was still alive. In 2009 he gained notoriety for restoring the actual Lamborghini Countach used in the Burt Reynolds movie “The Cannonball Run” That launched his “Auto Italia” division where they service and restore classic Italian automobiles. In 2010 he signed the deal with Carroll Shelby and Superformance to be their exclusive dealer for the state of Florida and formed “Gulf Coast Motorworks”. The new 11,000 square foot facility features a large sales showroom, gift shop, as well as a full service and restoration department with a built in DynoJet all wheel drive chassis Dyno for testing and tuning of all types of performance cars. Located in South West Florida just north of Naples, right on U.S. 41 in Bonita Springs, a 15 minute drive from Fort Myers or 2 hours from Tampa, Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
