Hutch’s Story: A Life Fueled by Passion

Hutch’s road trip began far from the Arizona desert in Kansas. Born with a passion for speed, he spent his youth riding and competing in motorcycle events, developing skill and stamina. However, after injuries ended his dream of turning pro, Hutch switched from racing dirt bikes to selling them, eventually moving into selling cars. Rising through the ranks, he managed major dealerships in Kansas before diving into high-end custom car sales, where he built a reputation for creating unique and quality vehicles for clients such as NBA star Devin Booker and real estate mogul Brad Lea. Today, his dealer, Addicted to classic carsit is a testament to his dedication to quality and passion for performance and vintage cars.

The Classic Car Addict Experiencee

Classic Car Addict is more than a showroom; is a space where car enthusiasts can connect with the history, design and performance of each vehicle.

In the spotlight of the three iconic cars

Hutch’s current lineup includes three outstanding vehicles that represent the best in American automotive design and innovation.

Corvette Stingray Z51 is the star of the showroom. Introduced in 2014, this model redefined what the Corvette could achieve in terms of performance and style. This 2016 Arctic White edition, upgraded by Cordes Performance in Tempe, AZ, pushes the limits with its 6.2L LT1 V8 engine upgraded to produce an astounding 675 horsepower.

Outside: Finished in arctic white with carbon fiber roof panels and a vented carbon fiber hood, the Corvette combines sleek aesthetics with aerodynamic efficiency.

Inside: Luxury touches include Adrenaline Red leather seats, a 10-speaker Bose surround sound system and a digital dashboard with a 200 mph speedometer.

Performance: The Z51 Performance Package and upgrades like a charger kit, CPR LTX cam, and Circle D converter make this Corvette both a beauty and a beast, built to conquer the road.

The 1973 Mustang Mach 1 captures the essence of American muscle. This model, the last Mustang of the first generation, is as much a cultural icon as a car. Originally finished in Blue Glow, this Mustang has been meticulously restored in brown, adding a custom touch to its classic appearance.

Outside: Mach 1 signature elements such as the dual-scoop hood and Mach 1 graphics give it an aggressive stance.

Inside: A reupholstered black vinyl interior with vintage Philco stereo and wood steering wheel provide a nostalgic driving experience.

Motor: Powered by a 351ci Cleveland V8 with a Holley carburetor, this Mustang delivers the roaring power that defines the muscle car era.

The 1969 Chevrolet C10 has been transformed into a custom masterpiece, blending vintage charm with modern upgrades. This truck has undergone a frame-off restoration, resulting in a sleek metallic silver finish with a matte black stripe accented by orange trim.

Outside: Unique touches like shaved bumpers, a polished grille and hidden Chevrolet engraving add a custom look.

Inside: Equipped with black leather bucket seats, a custom console and a Sony touchscreen, the C10 combines comfort with functionality.

Performance: The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine and Tremec T-56 six-speed transmission deliver impressive power, backed by QA1 coilovers and Baer disc brakes for improved handling.

Arizona’s passion for cars is represented by the annual Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, a world-renowned event that attracts collectors and enthusiasts globally. Some of the most coveted cars have been sold here, including a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe that fetched over $3.8 million, making it the most expensive Corvette ever sold at auction. Barrett-Jackson’s high standards and spectacular showcases have cemented Arizona’s place in the global classic car market (Barrett-Jackson).
