This was an awesome project, the chance to restore the body on a 1955 Chevrolet hauler truck named “Carried Away” which serves as the chauffeur for an original 1955 Chevy gasser named “Mr. Chevy”. Mr. Chevy first became a race car around 1968, and has a great story all on it’s own. Below you’ll see the videos on the car and the truck, along with the restoration photos at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop. Once completed, Mr. Chevy and Carried Away were feature vehicles at the SEMA Show, the Grand National Roadster Show, the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals, the Syracuse Nationals, the Tri-5 Nationals, and many others. It’s almost too cool for words. Check it out!

Let's kick off the week with some exciting Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals news. It may seem like November is a long way off, and in a way it is, but if you own one of the MCACN Official "Unveiling" cars, the clock is ticking! We have confirmed several very significant cars for Unveilings, and here is one that is currently undergoing a full restoration. This black on black 1969 Boss 429, ‪#‎KK1365‬ is going to be an absolute show stopper. Owner Tom Marcucci does not cut any corners and he spent several years looking for the right Boss '9. This one has the original drivetrain, making it one rare pony. I took these pics at the Dearborn Mustang meet this summer, where Tom showed it pre-restoration. Whew…can't wait to see the cover pulled off this one at MCAN, November 21-22! Is there anything cooler and more sinister than a black Boss '9?

This year, Original Parts Group, Inc. brought out an unbelievable 1963 Cadillac Eldorado Hardtop that is freshly restored for the 2014 SEMA show!   What’s more, they estimate 25% of the restoration parts on this car are now available from OPGI.   The car is extremely rare, as there are only an estimated 9-12 ’63 Eldorado Hardtops ever built! 

 

Ringbrothers are constantly raising the bar when it comes to innovative design and performance, and the 1966 Chevelle "Recoil" does it again.    Here, Kelle and Mike Ring take a few moments to go over "Recoil" and point out the extensive body modifications, design elements, and the 1000 horsepower driveline!
