This is a very cool car, a 1963 Imperial Crown Convertible. It's one of approximately 513 built, and it's showing less than 28,000 miles. It's powered by a 413 Wedge V8 connected to a pushbutton automatic transmission. We love the space-age Virgil Exner "Forward Look" styling, with cool details like the headlight pods and the "sqaure" steering wheel. The current owner has known the car since he was a kid, and knows the original owning family. It's been sitting for a number of years, and it came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop to be brought back to safe driving condition.

The V8 Speed & Resto Shop Crew recently finished a complete restoration on this 1964 Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck including suspension, rust repair and sheet metal fabrication, and more. They installed a GM L92 6.2 liter V8 powered by a Mast Motorsports ECM and using Holley accessory drive brackets, oil pan, and Hooker exhaust manifolds. A Mast cam and valve springs were installed, yielding approximately 525 horsepower. A TCI 4L60E transmission is used to provide an overdrive gear, and the truck rolls on Mob Steel 20" wheels. The finish is satin black with a charcoal silver roof, wheels, and side trim insert, and the bed is all new wood. The interior featured a leather seat, Vintage Air A/C, a Dakota Digital box to allow the original speedometer to work with the modern transmission, upgraded audio, and more.

This 1965 Shelby Cobra by Backdraft came to us when the owner wanted all the chrome and bright alumunim pieces powdercoated black. In additon, we installed a killer audtio system so the driver can hear tunes over the Roush 427! We also performed some paint work on the car after a fender was damaged.

The V8 Speed & Resto Shop crew recently completed the restoration of this very cool and subtly modernized 1965 Chevrolet Impala. Today, it drives better than any stock '65 ever drove, thanks to a Ridetech suspension system, and it is powered by a retro-themed 6.0 LS V8 engine and a 6-speed manual gearbox. The look is sharp thanks to a load of OER restoration parts from Classic Industries. The V8 crew started with a bare shell and brought this sweet Impala back to life, completing metalwork, suspension and chassis repairs, all the body and paint work, and final assembly.

Mercury Comet Cyclones are not the most common Muscle Car, but they are cool to see. This one is not only visually stunning with its deep maroon paint and stark white interior, it also has the guts to make it go! Under the hood is a carburated & supercharged 302, backed by a C6 transmission and a GearVendors Overdrive unit and a 9" rear axle. The combination is good for mid 11-second quarter mile times, and good driving manners on the street. It came to our the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for some maintenance, as we fixed a few leaks, checked the tune, tightened up the exhaust, and rebuilt the rear end.

This cool 1966 Chevy C10 stopped in at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for a custom Magnaflow exhaust system to let the LS engine breathe. The conversion headers, custom transmission crossmember, and non-stock fuel tank configuration presented a few challenges, but it's coming together nicely. Look for this one burning up the miles on the HOT ROD Power Tour 2019!
