Dofral Distributing Inc. was an automotive manufacturer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, active from approximately 1985 to 1989. The company specialized in producing kit cars, which allowed enthusiasts to build their own vehicles using a combination of pre-manufactured parts and custom components.
One of the notable models produced by Dofral was the Classic T, a kit replica of the 1957 Ford Thunderbird. This model was designed with a shortened body, reducing its length by seven inches (178 mm) to accommodate a custom frame. The Classic T utilized suspension systems from the Ford Pinto or Mustang II, and it featured front-mounted engines, which contributed to its unique design and performance characteristics.
Dofral's focus on kit cars reflected a niche market during its operational years, appealing to automotive enthusiasts who sought to create personalized vehicles. The company ceased operations in the late 1980s, marking the end of its brief but distinctive presence in the automotive industry.
