The vehicle was restored at NT Autobody, located near the Alexandria Police Department headquarters on Wheeler Avenue.
"As soon as they saw the car come in, a lot of the guys were telling me, 'Mike, what are you doing with a car like this?' When I told them it's Pete's car, they all put their tools down and said, ‘What can I do?’" Mike Tikoyan from the auto shop told Fox 5. See video of the restored car here.
