The V8TV Crew did it again. This time taking home not one but two Gold awards at... the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals!!!!! Congrats to 68 Camaro "Reloaded" owner Pete Kurpiewski and 69 Firebird "Routy" owner Steve Prouty for both scoring over 990 points out of 1000 in the modified Muscle Car class. The Camaro scored 993 in its first judged show, while the Firebird scored 997 adding more hardware to Proutys giant trophy case. Thanks to a great crew for their hard work and to Pete and Steve for letting us build their dream cars!!!!

Beautiful job,

I am restoring a 69 and bought the video for inspiration and guidance.  I too plan on using the Magnaflow transverse exhaust system and noticed that when it was originaly installed the tailpipes exited behind the wheels, yet later in the video they appeared to exit at the bumper.  When visiting the Magnaflow site it appeared that they only sell a kit for the rear wheel exit setup.  Do you have a kit number for the bumper exit configuration.

Very impressive car

Now YOU have a chance to OWN Routy!

That's right, Steve is going to run the car through the Mecum auction in Indy... here's the listing:

I watched it live and saw the bidding ended @ $50K. Did the car sell later?

Chris, the car went to 50k and stalled, and Steve didn't want to let it go for that number.. less the commissions, etc.     Most of Friday's bidding action was pretty soft.   They were giving some great cars away.

I thought the same thing, lots of cars being stolen all day on Fridays action. I am glad he didn't buckle under the auction pressure.

X2 on that.  It was exciting to see Routy go across the block.
