SABRA JOHNSON
Sabra is one of the most recognized and respected automotive restorers and custom car designers in the aftermarket industry.
Sabra is the premier builder for global clients desiring an informed and interactive automotive restoration experience.
Sabra’s industry connection and service career spans 30 plus years. Starting as a young man working at his cousin’s European Sales and Performance Shop. Sabra learned the value and importance of hard work and dedication.
Today, Sabra is the operational owner of one of the largest classic car restoration brands in the world. Under Sabra’s tutelage, City Classic Cars Restoration and Restorations by Sabra together form a powerhouse restoration center in the greater Houston, Texas area.

Sabra has designed and built vehicles for heads of industry, corporate leaders, celebrities, and international leaders. Sabra has shipped vehicles to Australia, Dubai, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, and Europe as well as every region of the United States.
Sabra realized that disruptive innovation was the only way to revolutionize the aftermarket. As a visionary, Sabra saw that there was a glaring system and talent gap in the industry regarding restoration. Sabra’s innovative thinking led him to create his legendary 25-step build process. Sabra created a detailed systematic approach to building vehicles that outlines the flow of the build process. Sabra then built a multi-campus company to implement his 25-Step Build Process along with his signature restoration accounting, billing, and design platform. Sabra’s 25-step build process is now the standard when it comes to professionally building a vehicle.
Sabra’s visionary insight, innovative thinking, and faithfulness were all honed for many years through para-church ministry and full-service ministry until his retirement from pastoring and church leadership. Sabra forged both his natural talent and his God-given fortitude into the aftermarket and he has catapulted to the top. Sabra is a published author with many self-help and inspirational works to his credit with his latest project being a “car-guy devotional”.
