With close to 25 years of experience in the automotive industry, it was only natural for California native Jim Ries to want to open his own shop. In 1991, Mr. Ries made his dream a reality by introducing Classic Performance Products, a company dedicated to serving classic American cars and trucks from 1949-72. A proud family business that employs several members of the Ries clan, CPP has grown its dedicated team to 23 members with extensive automotive knowledge.

Since its inception in the early 1990s, Classic Performance Products has perhaps been best known for their complete bolt-on brake systems for Ford and Chevy pickups. Considered to be one of the industry’s lone true bolt-on brakes, the CPP kits come pre-assembled and include all of the pre-bent brake lines that usually make installation a breeze. Tackling the brakes on an older vehicle can be one of the most strenuous tasks of a restoration project, but it has never been easier thanks to Classic Performance Products!

Along with braking parts, Classic Performance Products also offers a number of OE suspension components, including power steering kits, tilt columns, drop spindles, sway bars, complete suspension packages, and many other custom accessories. Lowering a C-10 is one of the most popular upgrades that owners make, and CPP has always been on the front lines developing suspension components to ease the process.

CPP has been involved with many high-profile lowrider projects, including the building of a front and rear suspension (including a brake kit) for the '64 Chevy Impala belonging to former Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal. Shaq's Impala was fully customized as the driver's seat had to be moved all the way to the rear seat in order for the 7'1" big man to be able to drive it. Whether you are in the heart of a full restoration or if you simply need one or two OE components, you can’t go wrong with Classic Performance Products!
