This is something you don’t see every day… a 1961 International Harvester Metro A120 delivery van! Our friend is going to use it as a Bartoli’s Pizza delivery vehicle in Chicago, so we are going to make it easier to drive and change the look to match his restaurant. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop team swapped out the original chassis and 220 cubic-inch 6 cylinder engine in favor of a modern Chevrolet Tahoe for a donor chassis and driveline. It’s a super cool truck with a purpose!

This cool 1966 Chevelle is the second for it’s owner Larry Frees, who might be familiar as the caretaker of the “Mr. Chevy” 1955 Chevy gasser and hauler ramp truck. He had a Marina Blue ‘66 many years ago, and this car will serve to be the “jumping off point” from where his old ‘66 left off. Larry provided us with the beginning of the restoration story as it unfolds in the V8 Speed & Resto Shop. The car turned out beautifully, after some sheet metal surgery, laser-straight bodywork, and a custom color brewed in-house. It’s putting out over 400 horsepower, it rides on air, and looks fantastic!
