IN ADDITION TO PROVIDING A FULL LINEUP OF ICONIC VEHICLES, HILLBANK MOTORSPORTS OFFERS A VARIETY OF WAYS TO ACQUIRE THESE DRIVING MACHINES THROUGH AN ARRAY OF FINANCING OPTIONS, TRADE-INS, CONSIGNMENTS, AND MORE.

WHILE PROVIDING CUSTOMERS WITH THEIR DREAM VEHICLES IS THE COMPANY’S PRIMARY GOAL, IT’S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAMILY WITHIN HILLBANK MOTORSPORTS.

STAN STANDER ORIGINALLY FOUNDED HILLBANK IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1977, "ON THE HILL, NEXT TO THE BANK," WHICH IS HOW WE GOT OUR NAME. STAN EVENTUALLY PASSED THE FAMILY BUSINESS TO HIS SON, LANCE, GROWING IT TO 13 BRANCHES BEFORE MOVING TO THE UNITED STATES.  LANCE BROUGHT THE NAME WITH HIM IN HONOR OF HIS FATHER TO START HILLBANK MOTORSPORTS STATESIDE.

WITH THE ORIGINAL INTENT TO OPEN AN INSURANCE SALVAGE POOL AND DEAL IN SALVAGE VEHICLES AS WE DID IN SOUTH AFRICA, THE STANDER FAMILY ENJOYED THE SHELBY COBRA AND COBRA CUSTOMERS SO MUCH THAT WE DECIDED TO MAKE IT AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE BUSINESS.  

INITIALLY JUST SELLING THE ROLLING CHASSIS FOR THE SUPERFORMANCE COBRA, HILLBANK BEAT OUT THE LARGEST COBRA DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME WITH JUST A TINY SHOWROOM IN COSTA MESA.  FROM THERE, WE BUILT ON THAT MOMENTUM EXPANDED INTO PRE-OWNED SHELBY AND SUPERFORMANCE VEHICLES, AND STARTED ACCEPTING CONSIGNMENTS AND TRADE-INS. HILLBANK EVEN PARTNERED WITH BANKS TO OFFER FINANCING NOT ONLY ON THE PRE-OWNED INVENTORY BUT THE ROLLERS AS WELL.

IN CARRYING ON STAN’S LEGACY, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE YEARS OF HARD WORK THE ENTIRE FAMILY HAS PUT IN. THE LATE NIGHTS AND EARLY MORNING CAR SHOWS. THE “NO DAYS OFF” MENTALITY LAID THE FOUNDATION FOR WHAT HILLBANK WOULD BECOME.  IT IS A CULMINATION OF THE STANDER FAMILY'S 40-PLUS YEARS OF WORK.

HILLBANK WAS ALSO BUILT ON A PASSION FOR THE COBRA, DAYTONA, GT40, THEIR RICH AMERICAN RACE HISTORY THESE VEHICLES REPRESENT, THE FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY, AND THE BIG-BLOCK V8 JUMPS TO LIFE. THAT FEELING, COMBINED WITH THE SENSE OF FREEDOM ON THE OPEN ROAD, IS UNPARALLELED. WE STRIVE TO BRING THAT SAME JOY TO OTHERS EVERY DAY.

WITH A FULL COMPLEMENT OF 60’S-ERA AMERICAN-MADE SPORTS CARS AVAILABLE, WE’RE CONFIDENT THAT YOU CAN FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR WITH HILLBANK MOTOR CORPORATION. HILLBANK MOTORSPORTS’ MAIN OFFICE IS LOCATED IN IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, JUST A FEW MINUTES FROM JOHN WAYNE AIRPORT. HILLBANK ALSO HAS LOCATIONS IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA, AND JUPITER, FLORIDA.
