The Art of the
Bespoke Replica

At Signature Autosports, we don’t just recreate legends — we reimagine them with purpose, precision, and personality.

 

Each Signature SL™ replica is built to order, allowing you to shape every detail to match your vision — from vintage-correct switchgear and authentic upholstery to modern performance upgrades, digital conveniences, and custom paintwork.

Whether you're drawn to the sculpted silhouette of the Gullwing or the open-air allure of the Roadster, your vehicle is more than a nod to history — it’s a rolling expression of individual craftsmanship, tailored refinement, and timeless design.

 

This isn’t restoration. This is resurrection — done your way.

I’m Aaron, the founder of Signature Autosports — and like the rest of our team, I’m a car guy through and through. We didn’t get into this business because it was trendy. We got into it because it’s been in our blood for decades.
 

Most of us are over 40, and we’re still doing what we love: building, driving, obsessing over, and talking about cars and trucks. That passion shows in everything we do — from our first conversation with you to the moment your keys hit your hand.
 

We’re also a licensed North Carolina auto dealer, which means your purchase process is smooth, secure, and professionally handled from start to finish.

No surprises. No headaches.

Just real people, real craftsmanship, and a better way to buy.
