1962 Buick Electra Restoration at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

Posted on by V8 Staff

This 1962 Buick Electra convertible originally appeared on one of the very first episodes of V8TV working on the engine and a disc brake conversion. Back in 1998, David Freiburger and Rob Kinnan of Car Craft and Hot Rod Magazines purchased this car for a Car Craft Magazine cheap and fun weekend cruiser project. They gave the original carburetor a tune, did a quickie bright yellow paint job on the car and drove it around for a bit before putting it up for sale. At that point, our friend Paul purchased the car from Freiburger and towed it from sunny Southern California to his home in the Midwest. Paul drove the car for a couple summers until the original Buick 401 Nailhead engine failed, and not having a lot of resources back then, Paul decided to install a small block Chevy V8 that he had on hand. About that time, Paul’s job changed, he started a family, and more important life events occurred. Today, nearly 20 years later, the car has arrived in the V8 Speed and Resto Shop where the V8 Team will complete his engine conversion and make the car a driver once again.

V8 Radio Podcast: Car Magazines, iTunes, Kids With Cool Cars, and More

Posted on by V8 Staff

On this episode, Mike Clarke and Kevin Oeste chat about the current state of some successful print car enthusiast magazines including recent releases Rodding Revolutions and Wheel Hub, as well as longtime favorites The Rodder’s Journal, Hemmings Motor news, and of course, the return of CARtoons Magazine!

They also touch on a cool ’77 Pontiac Trans Am that just went home after a visit to the V8 Speed and Resto Shop for an engine replacement. That’s pretty routine in our shop, but the fact that the owners are twin 16 year old guys is not! It’s great to see younger people digging these kinds of cars.

Our hosts also chat about the recent placement of V8 Radio on the iTunes “Popular Automotive Podcast” listings! You’ll also find the usual trivia question and some other nonsense, and you’ve got the latest episode of V8 Radio!
