3R Automotive was founded in 1985 by Robert "Bob" Raub. He started 3R Automotive after successfully racing in the IMSA and the Trans AM Series' during the late 70's and mid 80's with Oftedahl Racing. During that time Bob was a dominating force in the Trans AM Series with numerous victories. Bob left the Trans Am Series and returned to Colorado where he continued to race in SCCA sponsored races and, again, proved to be very successful.
3R Automotive's initial focus was in high end car restoration and collision repair. Bob's demanding attention to detail and quality has led to over 100 First Place awards from many top car shows across the United States. This success also included a 2nd place award at the world renowned Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Over the years many 3R Automotive restored cars have been featured as cover stories in numerous car magazines.
In 1985 3R Automotive began in Colorado as a two person operation in a small shop space. It was 1989 when Bob moved the business to a 5000 sq. foot facility and added 2 more craftsman to help with the growing demand for quality restoration work. With rigorous quality control provided by Bob, 3R Automotive continued to turn out top quality restorations and continued winning top awards throughout the country.
During 1992 Bob purchased a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro and began campaigning it in regional vintage race car series. Once again Bob found himself on top, winning many of the races he competed in. Soon thereafter he was approached by other race car enthusiasts asking if he could prepare vintage race cars for them. So began 3R Automotive's vintage race car construction and restoration business.
3R Automotive continued to grow and in 1993 Bob moved the race shop to it's current 10,000 sq. foot location in Englewood Colorado. The business now employs 15 craftsman, performing all aspects of car restoration, ground up re-engineering, performance enhancement and technical support for many street and race car owners. Since its beginning 3R Automotive has built some of the fastest, safest and most reliable race cars in the country.
In 1998, to further support the race car market, 3R Automotive opened a performance parts and accessories store. That parts store now supplies top end products to a wide array of motor sports enthusiasts, helping them in their enhancement and maintenance of their "babies". 3R Automotive is also the biggest dealer for Red Line Synthetic Oil in the Rocky Mountain region.
