Tebo's Barn LLC: Your Local Ford Model A & T Mechanic

Tebo Barn LLC, owned and operated by Ryan Thibeault, is a dedicated shop for Ford Model A and T repair and restoration located in Milton, NH. Ryan, who grew up in Strafford, NH, has spent years driving, repairing, and restoring these classic vehicles. After earning his degree from UNH, he worked as an engineer for a decade. In 2022, Ryan made the decision to leave the corporate world and follow his passion by opening a 2500 square foot shop focused on Model A and T restoration.

At a very young age, Ryan was introduced to the fascinating world of Model A’s by both his uncle and grandfather, who were inspired by their father, Howard Sneirson, in the 1960s. Ryan's passion for these classic cars grew quickly, and he started driving them at just 12 years old. In 2006, he took his NH driving test in his grandfather’s beautifully restored 1929 Ford Model A Phaeton, which was revitalized in the early 1960s by Ryan’s grandfather and great grandfather. 

Throughout high school and college, Ryan enjoyed driving a 1930 Ford Model Town Sedan year-round while also dedicating his time to repairing and restoring antique cars for himself and others. In 2012, Ryan graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology and has since worked as a manufacturing engineer for over 10 years. In 2022, Ryan decided to leave the corporate world to turn his longstanding hobby into a thriving business. 

Ryan has never hesitated to push the limits with these vintage Fords and has gained a reputation for seeking out the most challenging back roads. In 2020, he embarked on an incredible journey, driving a 1929 Tudor across America, covering an impressive 8,011 miles in just 4 weeks. Ryan is deeply committed to promoting the classic car hobby and inspiring new enthusiasts to preserve and drive these exceptional automobiles.
