Porsche DP, Gemballa Avalanche, Koenig SEC, Miami Vice Testarossa…those were the days!

Last week I sat down with Jean Claude Ratte. For hours he entertained me with stories of his past and years in the tuning business. He has built cars for drug lords, movie stars, entertainers, and corporations. I am going to create a series of blogs with some of the stories and I wanted to share them with everyone.

Jean Claude Ratte was the guy who converted the Ferrari Testarossa’s for Miami Vice, worked hand in hand with Uwe Gemballa and patented the first propane powered marine application and much much more! Enjoy!

I’ve attached a few pictures not on the blog and will upload more as soon as they are scanned and edited.
