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?

Welcome to The Brothers Collection, probably the most comprehensive collection of Muscle Cars in the country – if not the world. It features hundreds of cars from from all makes… Hemi Cuda converts, ZL1 Camaros, even ’57 Rancheros with factory superchargers. The Brothers are actually Brothers and friends of mine. They are nice guys that value their privacy but want to share their love of cars. We think that Muscle Car Of The Week is a great way to share some of their collection and we think Kevin Oeste is the perfect car guy to bring them to you. The Brothers Collection is not open to the public at this time so Muscle Car Of The Week is the best way to see some great cars and we think Kevin does a great job of bringing people up to speed on whatever Muscle Car we feature. The features are usually not just only about that actual feature car but also that model in general. The Brothers are also usually nice enough to loan a couple cars each year to the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in Chicago, so you have the opportunity to see some of their cars in person – check the site at http://www.mcacn.com. Thanks for your time and we hope you enjoy the weekly features.
