Welcome!

WELCOME to my website! You'll see all the vehicles I have had restored since 1997. Kevin Lynch, Venice, FL. **above:** September 17, 2011: My 1968 Peter Pirsch & Sons Canopy Cab pumper, posed with a girder from the World Trade Center at the North Port (FL) Fire/Rescue.

This site features several historic emergency vehicles that I have owned, restored or "had" restored over the last 14 years. It's a tribute to these great vehicles and the friends who have helped me! The above photo was taken at the Lake Miirror Classic on October 15, 2011. 700 show vehicles and a crowd of 35,000. The ribbon awarded the truck was from the Chubb Insurance Group. The truck has won a ribbon at this show every year! Pictured below: Myself and Ray Vleck, who played a major role in restoring this truck!

Along with my 1968 Peter Pirsch Canopy Cab Pumper (above; purchased on ebay), you'll see my "ex's;" a 1974 Miller Meteor Criterion and 1968 Superior Rescuer (both on Cadillac chasses), a 1970 National Pacer on a Chevy Suburban, a 1967 Superior Sovereign on a Pontiac Bonneville stretch, and a 1966 GMC rescue truck. I also own an unrestored 1975 Miller Meteor Lifeliner (Cadillac) which is in the custody of my son-in-law Dave Miner in South Carolina. I also own a 1935 Chevrolet pumper built by A. Cresci & Son of Vineland, N.J. Please visit the following pages to see what these vehicles looked like before the restoration. The restoration of the Pirsch began in April, 2006.
