Jeffrey E Schwartz is one of the most popular and richest Car Designer who was born on June 12, 1958 in Bemidji, Bemidji, United States. Jeffrey Elmer Schwartz was born on June 12, 1958, in Bemidji, Minnesota, to Dale Elmer Schwartz and Patricia (Leseman) Schwartz. A lifelong automobile and motorcycle enthusiast, Schwartz subscribed to Hot Rod Magazine and learned to weld when he was 12 years old. He went on to become an accomplished machinist with an extensive career in manufacturing and product design. Spending most of his career managing automotive parts and equipment manufacturing plants, Schwartz raced whenever possible. Schwartz started his racing career as a Motocross rider in the 1970s. Competing in an average of 36 American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) sanctioned events per year, Schwartz won awards on Puch and Monark motorcycles that were modified and equipped with his own custom designed long travel suspension systems. His competitive automobile racing began in 1979 when Schwartz won the National Council of Corvette Club Midwest Regional Championship both in Overall Points and Speed in his first year of competition. In the 80’s, his professional road racing put Schwartz in control of various race cars from four and six-cylinder front- wheel-drive Sport Compacts to V8-powered GT1 Corvettes and IMSA Camaros. Throughout the 1982 Central Division race season, Schwartz was inspired by Jerry Hansen, the father of TV Host and personality Courtney Hansen, to adopt a more refined racing style noting Hanson’s aggressive but smooth style. Schwartz continued on to win numerous races, including the June Sprints, setting a new Showroom Stock B record at Road America, set 5 SCCA National Track records and be named the 1982 SCCA Chicago Region “Rookie Driver of the Year”.
In 2003, Schwartz lost his job as Manufacturing Plant Manager due to corporate restructuring. After building custom cars and motorcycles as a hobby for 26 years, many of which had been seen in major magazines, Schwartz set out on a path to put his passions to work. Because Schwartz had built cars in his home garage like the ‘82 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham that were competitive with track prepared sports cars and the 1002 horsepower street legal Schwartz Ultima GTR kit car that attained magazine and TV coverage, when Schwartz opened his business in 2004, he had earned enough recognition for his first opportunity to work a concept car by Jimi Day and Murray Pfaff, Rick Weis’ Poison Dart.
Debuting at the 2012 Car Craft Pro-Builder shootout, Schwartz’ 1981 Twin Turbo Trans Am, dubbed the “Full Force Trans Am” due to its Full Frame and Forced induction, was built for himself and showcased the pairing of a Schwartz Full Frame Chassis and its handling capability with the high-horsepowered performance of a Schwartz modified engine. The ’81 TransAm featured a Schwartz G-Machine full chassis, Schwartz 1300 hp Twin Turbo 6.9 liter engine and was topped with a “one of a kind” bird, designed by Murray Pfaff.
In 2013, Schwartz’ ’81 Trans Am was the runner up in the Car Craft Real Street Eliminator and won the Popular Hot Rodding Muscle Car of the Year Shoot-Out. In the same year, Schwartz was voted the CAR CRAFT “Pro-Builder of the Year” with Jake Wallace’s Twin Turbo 1967 Chevy Malibu.
With the evolution of the automobile aftermarket industry and technologies, Schwartz realized that race car performance no longer required an uncomfortable feel. He proved his idea in 2002 with his home built 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham that handled like a sports car. In the “Cadillac Attack”, Schwartz won his first Car Craft Magazine’s 2002 Real Street Eliminator competition with the fastest trap speed, fastest autocross time, and quickest ET against Camaros, Dodge Vipers and Corvettes. With his second home built car, the Ultima GTR, he won the 2006 Silver State Classic Challenge 0-200 mph-0 (Z2Z) against RJ and Dan Gottlieb’s notable Big Red Camaro, among others, set a record for fastest 0-100-0, and was runner up in the 2007 Silver State Classic 0-200-0.
