This 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle had undergone a complete restoration, but the customer was not happy with the way the car drove, so he sent it to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for final details.   The V8 Crew was tasked with fixing leaks, clutch issues, and other mechanical details, and the customer expanded the list to include a custom firewall, and eventually a high-powered Fast Times Motorworks big Chevy V8.   It's a very cool car that will be great fun to drive!

1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible Engine Restoration at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This beautiful 1968 Shelby GT500KR Convertible was restored a few years ago, and is a really clean car.   It is powered by a 428 Cobra Jet backed by a 4-speed transmission, but the engine doesn't run as it should, so our team at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop will be doing some diagnostics to see what's up with the Cobra Jet.   Follow along to see the progress!

1976 Chevrolet Corvette Upgrades at V8 Speed & Resto Shop
This 1976 Chevrolet Corvette came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop seeking some modern upgrades for improved performance.   It already had a Chevrolet Performance ZZ2 crate engine making 345 HP, but the V8 team added Holley fuel injection for increased reliability and performance.   Then they swapped out the 4-speed manual transmission for a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed from Modern Driveline and a hydraulic clutch.  These provide an overdrive gear for highway cruising, and a smooth, easy operation.  Brakes are improved significantly with a Hydratech hydraulic brake booster.  Vintage Air A/C was added to keep the occupants comfortable.  The V8 Interior Shop went to work recovering the seats and installing new door panels to freshen the inside, and the black paint was treated to a polish job.   It's a slick ride that far outperforms the original, and is great fun to drive!
