Restomods are cars that still retain a mostly original outer appearance, but offer modern performance and convenience upgrades under the skin. The following videos feature some of the restomods cars either built or modified by the V8 Speed and Resto Shop over the years. See more in the Photos menu above!
🏁 Restoring a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible Owned Over 50 Years!
**More Than Just A Car**
In this video, we dive into the restoration of a very special car that’s more than …just a machine—it’s a lifelong companion. Join us as we share the renewal journey of a 1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible, lovingly restored to honor nearly 50 years of memories. This isn’t a high-performance 442 or a flashy 455-powered classic; it’s a 350-engine cruiser with a unique charm and a deep personal connection.
**A Trusted Companion Since 1973**
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme is a mid-range car produced by General Motors for those seeking comfortable, reliable, and stylish vehicles. The Cutlass Supreme was the fanciest version of the Cutlass you could buy, and the 1971 convertible is one of 10,255 built that year. The owner has been enjoying this one since purchasing it in 1973.
**Keeping The Spirit Alive**
This car, originally powered by a 350 V8, wasn’t about adding modern performance upgrades or flashy modifications – it was about preserving the unique memories tied to this classic muscle car. From a full engine rebuild with modern touches like fuel injection, to a custom wire wheel design that blends classic style with elegance, the transformation focuses on improving reliability and driving experience while keeping its soul intact.
**Making The Cutlass New Again**
Watch as the team at V8 Speed and Resto Shop carefully revives this vintage beauty, paying attention to every detail, from the suspension and brakes to the custom green paint that makes this car truly pop. This restoration isn’t about chasing trophies; it’s about preserving history, crafting a car that drives as good as it looks, and staying true to its original character. Whether you’re a car enthusiast or simply enjoy stories of passion and craftsmanship, this project will leave you inspired.
Join us for this fascinating journey of automotive craftsmanship and hear the heartwarming story behind a car that’s more than just a classic – it’s a personal treasure.
