This bright red 1967 Chevrolet Camaro is seeking additional power and road holding performance, and that’s exactly what it’s going ot get at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop! Power will come from a modern LS engine, and the “road holding” performance will be courtesy of a Roadster Shop Spec Chassis. It’s going to retain the classic look with a whole new personality!
This beautiful Hugger Orange 1969 Chevrolet Corvette came to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop barely breathing through the old carburetor and slipping gears with a slushy automatic transmission. The owner wants more, and we don’t blame him. The fix is in the form of a Holley Terminator X EFI system and a Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission. The double “X” treatment will make this a completely different car!
A cranberry red Chevelle convertible is always a good thing, and when powered by a fuel injected big block Chevy, it just gets sweeter. This one came to visit the V8 Speed and Resto Shop recently for some upgrades and maintenance, including Wilwood disc brakes and a Holley Terminator EFI system.
This awesome 1957 Studebaker Golden Hawk concept features a lowered stance on a performance chassis, modern supercharged power (an homage to the belt-driven supercharged V8 available when it was new), plus-sized Halibrand-style wheels, and a great retro-themed color scheme. Look closely at the gold in the fins… there’s a lot going on in there! This project, penned by designer Murray Komant, is one of many ideas brewing at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop. What’s on your mind? Maybe we can get Murray to visualize it, and the V8 Crew can build it!

The Pontiac GTO gets all the love, but the LeMans is also a great car in its own right. This great-looking 1966 LeMans is visiting the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for some upgrades and maintenance. We dig the red with black vinyl top, and the bucket seats, console with floor shifter, and sport wood steering wheel do a nice job of bridging the gap to Goat, and the Pontiac 400 V8 helps as well!
This unbelievable 1994 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 shows a mere 2700+ miles on the odometer, but nearly 30 years have dulled the shine on this LT5-powered jewel. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team was tasked with a full show-car detail, including the underside, and topped it off with a paint correction and ceramic treatment for a super luxurious shine. The paint correction and ceramic coating video shows all the steps we took to make it stand tall! You’ll be able to see this one in person at the 2023 Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals Show in Chicago!

Dan Parker is not the kind of guy who sits around waiting for cool stuff to happen to him. A lifelong racer and machinist, Dan’s racing days could have been cut short after a tragic drag racing crash deprived him of his sight. But that’s not the story Dan wanted to write, so he devised a way to continue racing – on both motorcycles and in cars – and is now the fastest blind man alive. Hear the whole story on this episode of the Bonneville Up To Speed Podcast!
