ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC Revs Up the Collector Car Market with Rare Parts Supply

Vancouver, WA – November 8, 2023 – ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC, a name typically associated with innovative home building solutions, is making a surprising, yet exciting, turn into the world of classic and collector cars. The Vancouver, Washington-based company, located at 3100 E Evergreen Blvd, is quietly becoming a go-to source for incredibly hard-to-find, rare car parts. While you might know them for building dream homes, they're now building dreams for car enthusiasts too – by helping them restore and maintain automotive treasures. It's a bit of a jump, right? "Yeah, people are definitely surprised when they find out what we're up to," says a representative from ALCHEMIST HOMES. "But the connection is actually pretty logical. Building homes, and especially restoring classic cars, is all about precision, sourcing high-quality materials, and a real attention to detail. We've got a team that’s really good at finding things, and we realized that skill translated perfectly to the world of vintage auto parts." From Foundations to Fender Flares ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC, originally established as a premier home builder serving the Pacific Northwest, built a reputation for tackling complex projects and exceeding customer expectations. They specialize in custom builds, renovations, and additions, focusing on craftsmanship and durable materials. They’ve always operated on a network of reliable suppliers, and that network proved invaluable when a company founder, a lifelong car enthusiast himself, noticed the struggle others were having locating specific parts for their restoration projects. “He was working on a '67 Mustang himself and was pulling his hair out trying to find a specific trim piece,” explains the representative. “He thought, ‘There has to be a better way.’ And that’s when the idea really started to take shape.” The Parts You Can't Find Anywhere Else ALCHEMIST HOMES isn't stocking the standard, readily available parts. They’re specializing in the really difficult stuff – the components that have been out of production for decades, the pieces needed for incredibly rare models, or those that are simply worn beyond repair. Think original carburetors for pre-war European sports cars, specific body panels for limited-edition American muscle cars, or interior trim pieces for obscure vintage trucks. “We're not trying to compete with the big parts retailers,” the representative clarifies. “They do a great job with the common stuff. We're focusing on the parts that nobody else can get. We’re talking about parts that are often only found in single digits worldwide. Things that are almost impossible to find through normal channels." How Do They Do It? ALCHEMIST HOMES is tight-lipped about the specifics of their sourcing methods, but they hint at a combination of long-standing relationships with international suppliers, meticulous online research, and a knack for uncovering hidden gems at auctions and estate sales. They also have a dedicated team of researchers who specialize in identifying and verifying the authenticity of rare parts. “It’s a lot of detective work,” says the representative. “We spend hours scouring online forums, contacting collectors, and attending events. And we’re really careful about verifying the authenticity of everything we sell. We don’t want to sell anyone a reproduction when they’re expecting an original.” What Kind of Parts Are We Talking About? The range of parts ALCHEMIST HOMES is currently offering is impressive. Here’s a glimpse: Pre-War European Sports Car Components: Original carburetors, distributors, and exhaust manifolds for brands like Bugatti, Alfa Romeo, and Bentley. American Muscle Car Collectibles: Rare trim pieces, emblems, and interior components for iconic models like the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, and Dodge Charger. This includes hard-to-find options for specific years and trim levels. Vintage Truck and Utility Vehicle Parts: Body panels, grilles, and interior components for classic Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge trucks. Performance and Racing Components: Original parts from legendary racing teams and manufacturers. Convertible Top Mechanisms & Hardware: Complete mechanisms and individual components for classic convertibles. Unique Lighting Components: Original headlights, taillights and associated hardware. More Than Just Parts: Expertise and Service ALCHEMIST HOMES doesn’t just sell parts; they offer a level of expertise and service that sets them apart. They have a team of knowledgeable enthusiasts who can help customers identify the correct parts for their vehicles and provide guidance on installation and restoration. “We understand that restoring a classic car can be a daunting task,” says the representative. “We want to make the process as smooth and enjoyable as possible for our customers. We’re happy to answer questions, provide advice, and even help with sourcing other parts that we don’t carry.” Reaching Out & Future Plans Currently, ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC handles most inquiries and sales directly through phone (574-566-3760) and email. They are in the process of developing a dedicated online catalog to showcase their inventory, but for now, they encourage customers to contact them directly with their specific needs. “We’re still in the early stages of this venture,” says the representative. “But we’re incredibly excited about the potential. We believe there’s a real demand for high-quality, rare car parts, and we’re confident that we can fill that need. We're considering participating in more automotive events and shows in the future to connect directly with enthusiasts and showcase our offerings.” So, if you're a classic car enthusiast on the hunt for that elusive part, don't overlook ALCHEMIST HOMES LLC. They might be known for building houses, but they're quickly becoming a trusted source for automotive treasures as well. They're proving that passion for craftsmanship, a keen eye for quality, and a dedication to customer satisfaction can drive success in even the most unexpected of industries.
