This 1965 Shelby Cobra by Backdraft came to us when the owner wanted all the chrome and bright aluminum pieces powdercoated black. In addition, we installed a killer audio system so the driver can hear tunes over the Roush 427! We also performed some paint work on the car after a fender was damaged.

The Pontiac GTO gets all the love, but the LeMans is also a great car in its own right. This great-looking 1966 LeMans is visiting the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for some upgrades and maintenance. We dig the red with black vinyl top, and the bucket seats, console with floor shifter, and sport wood steering wheel do a nice job of bridging the gap to Goat, and the Pontiac 400 V8 helps as well!

It’s no secret that we are all about building your dreams here at V8 Speed & Resto Shop / V8TV. That’s why we were honored to partner with Randolph County StartUp and help inspire future generations of entrepreneurs to follow their dreams. Students in this program work hand-in-hand with local businesses to develop the knowledge and skills to launch their own working business. This week we served as mentors by providing a tour of our facility. The students got to meet members of our team as they shared their knowledge on how we operate our business day to day. We are delighted to participate and help transform the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders.

Don’t you love it when all the pieces come together and the car runs awesome and feels great?   Kevin Oeste and Mike “Q-Ball” Clarke chat about this with regards to the recently completed 1957 Ford Thunderbird with the 5.0 Coyote V8, 6-speed automatic, and custom performance chassis built at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop.   And Kevin’s 1970 Buick Riviera is also tuned up and running strong thanks to the recent upgrades.   The Automotive Trivia questions are stumpers once again, and the early glimpse of spring weather makes for a fun episode.
