🏁 1969 Corvette 427 Resto-Mod: Building A Dream Corvette C3 at V8 Speed And Resto Shop

# 🏁 1969 Corvette 427 Resto-Mod: Building A Dream Corvette C3 at *V8 Speed And Resto Shop*

Join us at the *V8 Speed and Resto Shop* as we transform a worn-out …*1969 Corvette Roadster* into a stunning custom C3 that’s equal parts classic muscle and modern performance. At *V8 Speed and Resto* we start by learning from our customers to understand their passion for iconic cars like this *C3 Corvette* and helping them define their ideal day behind the wheel.

Starting with a blank slate—missing its original engine and parts—we built this beauty around a brand-new *ZZ427* V8 engine, delivering 480 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. From the eye-catching custom “Jayhawk Blue” paint to upgraded suspension, fuel injection, and creature comforts, this Corvette looks, feels, sounds, and performs exactly as our customer envisioned—ready for long cruises, spirited drives, and turning heads wherever it goes. We’re ready and able to make your dream car a reality too—just call us or visit https://www.v8speedshop.com/contact-us to get started.

## Build Highlights

– Engine & Performance: *Chevrolet ZZ427* crate engine with aluminum heads, roller cam, and 10:1 compression
– Transmission & Drivetrain: *Tremec TKX * 5-speed manual from *Modern Driveline* for smooth shifting, paired with a rebuilt rear suspension *Global West.*
– Brakes & Handling: *Wilwood* disc brakes with Hydratech hydraulic assist, quicker-ratio Borgeson steering gear
– Exterior & Design: *Custom metallic blue paint* with charcoal gray hood stripes and red pinstripes, inspired by the owner’s Kansas Jayhawks fandom. Modern wheels with redline tires blend vintage style with contemporary flair.
– Interior Upgrades: Restored factory gauges, *Vintage Air A/C, RetroSound radio, Dakota Digital cruise control,* and *custom leather seats with heated/cooling features* and matching blue stitching done in-house at *V8 Speed and Resto*.
– Tech & Modern Touches: *Holley Terminator EFI* hidden under a classic air cleaner, *Vintage Air Front Runner* accessory drive, and seat heaters for ultimate drivability.

– Guilt-free mods on a non-original chassis, avoiding rare L88 territory.
– Combines raw big-block power with street-friendly reliability.
– Custom design by *Murray Komant* blending patriotic colors (blue, charcoal, red) for a timeless look.

This isn’t just a restoration—it’s a reimagination of a C3 icon, guilt-free modified for fun without sacrificing its soul. The car debuted in a museum exhibit and scored an impressive 994/1000 at the *Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals* , (https://www.mcacn.com) proving its show-stopping appeal.

🏁 Custom 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Restoration: Full build video at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

# Custom 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396 Restoration: Full build video at V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Join us at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for the complete restoration of …a 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle SS 396! This true 138 VIN car, brought to us by our friend Larry, is a heartfelt tribute to the Marina Blue Chevelle he owned years ago. Starting as a collection of parts, we transformed this iconic muscle car into a very cool “Day Three” build, blending vintage style with modern upgrades. It was not a numbers-matching original car, so we had some opportunities to personalize it just for Larry. From a custom Tropical Freeze paint job to a powerful 402ci engine and air ride suspension, this Chevelle is a one-of-a-kind cruiser that turns heads!

## Highlights of the Build
– **True SS 396**: A real 138 VIN 1966 Chevelle SS, reimagined with passion and precision.
– **Custom Powertrain**: Features a bored-out 396 to 402ci engine with a full roller valvetrain, paired with a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive and Holley fuel injection.
– **Air Ride Suspension**: Fully adjustable air ride system for a smooth, customizable ride.
– **Body and Paint**: New quarter panels, trunk floor, tail pan, and deck lid, with meticulous metalwork to ensure tight, uniform gaps. Painted in a unique “Tropical Freeze” aqua-teal with pearl and metallic flair.
– **Custom Interior**: Two-tone Fawn and Buckskin interior with a metallic cardboard-inspired dash, Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air AC, and a hand-painted tropical graphic.
– **Modern Touches**: LED taillight inserts, 17″ chrome Craig SS wheels, and a smoothed rear package tray with flush 6×9 speakers.
– **Day Three Philosophy**: Because it was not a numbers matching, all original car, it was built with a blend of classic SS 396 style with modern upgrades like fuel injection, air suspension, and enhanced power (over 400 HP!).

## Why This Build Stands Out
This Chevelle isn’t just a restoration—it’s a reimagining of a classic, balancing authenticity with modern performance. Our team at V8 Speed and Resto spent months refining every detail, from TIG-welding panels for precision fitment to block-sanding the body for flawless reflections. The result is a car that looks like it’s carved from a single piece of steel, with a vibrant custom color and a roaring exhaust that demands attention.

How Did These 6 Top Muscle Cars Get Their Names? | Muscle Car Of The Week

🏁 The Legendary Comp Cams 1969 Camaro Reborn at V8 Speed and Resto Shop – Full Build

## 🏁 The Legendary Comp Cams 1969 Camaro Reborn at V8 Speed and Resto Shop – Full Build

The 1969 Chevrolet Camaro is a timeless icon, celebrated for its versatility and …enduring appeal. Whether built stock, as a race car, pro-touring machine, or full custom, a ’69 Camaro always turns heads. At V8 Speed and Resto Shop, one particular ’69 Camaro convertible, known as the Comp Cams Camaro, holds a special place due to its rich history and remarkable revival.

## A Storied Past

The Comp Cams Camaro traces its roots to the 1970s and 1980s when Scooter Brothers, founder of Comp Cams, campaigned a white ’69 Camaro convertible in NHRA drag racing. That original car was sold, but years later, Brothers sought to recreate it. The result was a white Camaro with black stripes, powered by a NASCAR-spec SB2 small-block V8. This car became a legend, featured in Hot Rod magazine, showcased on the Hot Rod Power Tour, and displayed at countless events.

## A Second Life

To celebrate Comp Cams’ 40th anniversary, V8 Speed and Resto Shop was tasked with restoring this iconic car. Known for building high-performance ’69 Camaro convertibles, including one for Royal Purple Synthetic Oil, our team was ready to bring the Comp Cams Camaro back to life. Comp Cams, a leader in valve train technology with brands like RHS, FAST, and TCI, wanted the car to showcase their cutting-edge products while remaining instantly recognizable.

## The Build

The restoration began with a plan to preserve the car’s identity while enhancing its performance and appearance. The car, a real RS Camaro with hideaway headlights and low-mounted reverse lights, was originally Daytona Yellow but had been painted white. We retained the white base with black stripes, adding a red pinstripe matching the Comp Cams logo’s Pantone color for a subtle branding touch.

The body required minor repairs—rust patches in the floors, trunk, and quarter panels were addressed with precision to preserve the original shell. Suspension upgrades included a Heidts front subframe, tubular control arms, Wilwood brakes, CCW wheels, and a Ford 9-inch rear axle.

Under the hood, Butler Performance built a 454-cubic-inch LS engine using an RHS aluminum block, RHS cylinder heads, an LSXR intake manifold, and Comp Cams valvetrain components. A FAST XFI EFI system and EZ LS/TCU controllers manage the engine and TCI 6X six-speed automatic transmission, delivering 690 horsepower naturally aspirated, with a ZEX nitrous kit for extra punch. A custom aluminum air filter box, designed to fit the tight engine bay, ensures fresh air intake while adding a sleek look.

The interior blends classic and modern with houndstooth bucket seats, Dakota Digital gauges, a TCI shifter, and a Vintage Air Gen 4 AC system with electronic controls for a factory-like appearance.

## The Result

The reborn Comp Cams Camaro is a masterpiece of performance and style, built to be driven hard and enjoyed for years. Delivered to Comp Cams, it made a flawless 4.5-hour drive to Memphis, and since then, it has racked up nearly 7,000 miles. The car has starred at SEMA, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (scoring 997/1,000 points), the Rev’n Rods Tour, the Car Craft Pro Builder Shootout, and the Good Guys Top 50 ’69 Camaros display.

## A Legacy That Endures

The Comp Cams Camaro is more than a car—it’s a testament to passion, craftsmanship, and performance. Its journey from drag strip warrior to restored icon showcases the dedication of both Comp Cams and V8 Speed and Resto Shop. If you’re dreaming of reviving your own classic, we’d love to bring it to life—find us at https://www.v8speedshop.com.

🏁 Finding Dad's Old Car and Reconnecting With A Favorite Ride | V8 Speed and Resto Shop

## Finding Dad’s Old Car and Reconnecting With A Favorite Ride | V8 Speed and Resto Shop

*Reconnecting The Owner With His Favorite Car*

So many of us live with the regret …of selling a favorite car. The story of a growing family and the limitations of hauling kids in a 2-door coupe is a pretty common tale that often ended in that prized coupe heading down the road with a new owner in favor of a bonafide family truckster. This was the case with a particular family man and his beloved 1977 Buick Regal. Had it, sold it, missed it. Until, that is, many years later when his now-grown son reached out to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop to replace the one that got away!

*Finding A Unicorn*
The car in question… a red 1977 Buick Regal, was unfortunately wrecked after the sale. The owner’s son approached our team to help locate and revitalize another red ’77… have you seen one of these driving around lately? A car that once seemed ubiquitous on the streets of America had seemed to be erased from time. Thankfully, a multi-sided search concluded when the owner’s son called and said “I found one, and am sending it to your shop to make it as close to Dad’s as possible!”

*It Had To Be Right*
The original car wasn’t just any ’77 Buick, however. It was red with a white interior, bucket seats, floor shifter, T-tops, white vinyl top, and the V2.0 car had to be the same. Amazingly, the car the son found was also red with T-tops and buckets, but the interior was red cloth. Not gonna happen. That’s when the V8 Speed and Resto Shop Interior Shop sprung into action turning the red to white.

*Taking the Interior Up a Notch*
Changing the interior color sounds simple, but there were dozens of red plastic parts that needed to be color-matched to white, along with the headliner, rear package shelf, door panels, and the seat upholstery. It turns out that brilliant white seat covers are not falling off the shelves at the local parts store, so our team had to make them from scratch. New patterns were created, and piece by piece the seat covers, both for the front buckets and the rear full-width seat were sewn. New filler material was added to the frames before the covers were stretched over and cinched to perfection. The end result? A gleaming, bright white interior that is nicer than any done by Buick in 1977.

*The Reveal*
The best part of this story is how the customer’s son staged a surprise reveal for his Dad at the 30th anniversary of the family’s business, an IGA Grocery Store in Red Bud, IL. They had a huge party to thank their staff, customers, vendors, and the community for their support of the store over the years. The big surprise came after the ceremony when the son presented his Dad with the keys to the freshly updated Regal, and it was a magic moment! We were so happy for the family to be able to reconnect their Dad to some of the best times of his life through his prized Buick… and that’s the V8 Speed and Resto Shop mission statement in action!

## 💨 Reviving the 1969 Chevelle SS 396 with V8 Speed and Resto Magic! ✨

Rev up your engines for this stunning 1969 Chevelle SS 396 transformation at V8 Speed and …Resto! 🚗💨 In this video, we take a classic muscle car that arrived with lackluster performance, worn-out interior, and scratched-up paint, and turn it into a show-stopping beast.

From upgrading the suspension with Global West tubular control arms and Wilwood disc brakes to boosting the 396 engine with a COMP hydraulic roller cam, Edelbrock aluminum heads, and a new carburetor, this Chevelle is now a true stoplight terror.

We also polished the black paint to a mirror shine, added a Vintage Air AC system, modernized the stereo, and fitted sleek 17” and 18” Rev wheels wrapped in Continental tires. Curious about the process? Watch as we revive this icon with fresh trim, a wood grain steering wheel, and Chevy orange engine paint (or is it poppy red?).
