Chapter One

Built in a garage,
for the garage.

We started with a single 1972 Toyota Celica project car and a problem that wouldn't go away — finding the right parts.

Twelve years later, SoCal Vintage Parts has grown from a Costa Mesa garage into a curated marketplace serving collectors, restorers, and obsessives across the country. We made our name on vintage Toyota and Porsche — Celicas, 2000GTs, 911s, 914s — but the canon is bigger than two badges.

Today we're expanding into a full multi-make marketplace. Datsun, BMW, Alfa, Mercedes — if it was worth driving in 1985, it's worth saving in 2025. Every part is sourced in person, verified against original specs, and shipped with the kind of paperwork you'd actually want.
