This 1966 Ford Bronco might look ridden hard, but is comfy inside with a fresh new interior.

We’re giving this rugged 1966 Ford Bronco the ultimate refresh! From installing a full Vintage Air Gen 5 A/C system for cool cruises, to sealing up exhaust leaks, upgrading the oil pan and pump for better performance, resealing diffs and transfer case, replacing wheel cylinders, and tidying up all that wiring – this classic is getting prepped for adventure while keeping its vintage soul intact. 💨🔧 #FordBronco #ClassicRestoration #V8SpeedAndResto

Taking an opportunity for a quick summer evening ride!

Summer’s here and the time is right for taking a cruise in a cool old car! This time, we take a minute while enjoying a ride down Bluff Road in our 1962 Ford Galaxie 500 XL convertible. This car has been in V8 Speed and Resto Shop’s Kevin Oeste’s family since 1993 and is a very special car to us, even though Kevin and Kelle don’t get as many chances to drive it as they’d like. However, even a short trip down a great road on a beautiful night does a world of good for the mind and soul. And like we said, old cars make new friends! We’ll share more video on the latest updates on the Galaxie in an upcoming video, subscribe so you don’t miss it!

        Adding WAY more fun to the GTO!

        We’ve worked on this clean 1970 Pontiac GTO several times here at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, and this time, we installed a Tremec TKO 600 5-speed manual transmission from Modern Driveline, complete with a hydraulic clutch and a Hurst shifter.

        A Salute to Jason “Sarge” Beebe

        Jason “Sarge” Beebe joined V8 Speed and Resto Shop as a shop assistant, starting with humble tasks like sweeping floors and organizing parts. We first met Sarge at a Scott Air Force Base job fair for recent U.S. Air Force retirees, unaware of the depth of his experience as a C-130 Loadmaster or his lifelong passion for restoring Muscle Cars, a craft he honed alongside his father and brother—both Air Force veterans.

        Sarge’s organizational prowess transformed our “Lumber Yard” parts warehouse, streamlining operations across our six-building campus. His leadership and knack for bringing out the best in people helped develop our Parts On Demand system, boosting efficiency and reducing time spent locating parts. Beyond his technical skills, Sarge’s warmth and dedication left a lasting mark on our team.

        Growing up, Sarge was immersed in the world of Muscle Cars, learning from his father, a talented restorer who built an array of iconic vehicles. Sarge fondly recalls assembling a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS model as a child, a dream that became reality when he and his family restored a real Chevelle when he was just 14. His Dad’s 1973 Camaro Z/28 lives on as well, now owned by his Uncle.

        After a distinguished Air Force career that took him around the globe, Sarge brought his discipline, passion, and love for cool cars to V8 Speed and Resto Shop. As he steps into retirement, we celebrate his contributions and wish him endless joy with his family and his beloved Chevelle.

        Thank you, Sarge, for setting our parts team and facility up for lasting success. Here’s to your next adventure!

        Flipping the Bird some Boost

        At the V8 Speed and Resto Shop, we’re pumped to work on a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am that’s already a standout. With an LS3 engine and T56 6-speed manual transmission pumping out 485 rwhp on the dyno, this TA is a solid performer. The owner wants more power, and we’re delivering with an Edelbrock E-Force supercharger.

        The customer’s plan? “I currently have an LS3/T56 6-speed manual transmission in my TA. The motor made 485 rwhp on a dyno. I would like to supercharge this motor. A low-profile blower is needed as I have the hood scoop attached to the hood, not much clearance.” We love the vision—this car’s LS3 swap and hood scoop setup are cool choices, and we’re excited to take it up a notch.

        The Edelbrock E-Force is perfect here: low-profile for the tight clearance, yet powerful enough to transform this LS3. We’ll integrate it seamlessly, tuning everything for peak performance. The V8 team can’t wait to hear this TA roar with its new boost.

        There’s talk of a paint job too—maybe 2022 GM Shadow Metallic with gold decals and 17″ x 9″ Yearone honeycombs in gold-bronze. If it happens, this weekend driver will look as fierce as it runs. Stay tuned for updates!

        Bringing The Corvette Up To Speed

        A classic 1980 Corvette recently rolled into our shop, and we’re excited to breathe new life into this American sports car. The owner has a clear vision for the car, and we’re ready to bring it to life.

        Interior Refresh

        The interior is mostly complete, but it still needs a few finishing touches. We’ll install the remaining interior components, including a new tilt steering wheel and a reproduction radio.

        Mechanical Upgrades

        To enhance the Corvette’s performance, we’ll focus on the engine. A true dual exhaust system with headers will improve airflow and unleash the engine’s potential. We’ll also install a Holley Sniper 2 fuel injection system, along with a new fuel pump, ignition, and sensors. To further optimize performance, we may upgrade the heads, cam, and intake manifold.

        To keep the engine running cool, we’ll consider installing a mechanical fan. Additionally, a more appropriate torque converter will help optimize power delivery.

        Comprehensive Mechanical Inspection

        Before diving into performance upgrades, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection of all mechanical systems, including the power steering, power brakes, air conditioning, and brakes. We’ll replace any worn bushings or other components as needed to ensure a smooth and reliable ride.

        We’re confident that this 1980 Corvette will emerge from our shop looking and running great. Stay tuned for updates on our progress!
