A glimpse into the world of classic car restoration. Starting out as young men, these two gentlemen have produced magnificent works of art from piles of rusty parts. Follow their journey of classic car restoration.
1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS
The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American muscle car introduced by Chevrolet in the fall of 1966 for the 1967 model year. It rode on a brand-new rear wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a 2-door, 2+2 seat, hardtop, and convertible. The F-body was shared with the Pontiac Firebird for all generations. The first-generation Camaro was built through the 1969 model year. Almost all of 1967–1969 Camaros were built in the two U.S. assembly plants: Norwood, Ohio and Van Nuys, California.
1969 Chevrolet Nova 396
Chevy had redesigned its compact for '68, but the look was still pretty tame. The chassis design, however, was shared with the Camaro, so big blocks finally fit. Sure enough, the 396-cid V-8 appeared as a Super Sport option partway through '68. For '69, the 396 was back in 350-bhp tune and -- for those who knew how to play the order form -- as the 375-bhp L78.
1969 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
The original ZL1 may have been the fastest production Camaro ever made and with so few actually being sold, there was only one way to restore this car. This car is powered by an all alluminum 427 with a Tremec five speed painted in Prowler Orange.
1971 Chevrolet Nova
The introduction of the rally kit included black or white stripes that ran the length of the car and around the back, a Rally Nova sticker on the driver's side of hood, and Rally wheels.
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS
The most notable change was the introduction of the 454 SS, the most powerful Chevelle ever. Underrated at an astonishing 450hp, the LS6 was one of the fastest cars on the street, and to this day is arguably one of the most collected muscle cars of all time.
1969 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro
The big news for 1969 was the availability of a special 427 cid V8 equipped Camaro. The first were special dealer-installed units, most notably the Yenko Camaro 427 ordered under the Central Office Production Order System (COPO) code 9562 into a buyer's Camaro.
1969 Chevrolet Nova SS
There were no major changes for 1969 for the Chevy Nova SS. The standard SS package with the 350 cid V8 cost just an extra $280 above a base Nova coupe and included a special suspension, red stripe F70x14s, and power front disc brakes.
1969 Chevrolet COPO camaro
There were mostly three variants for a COPO Camaro 9560, 9561, and 9737. The 9737 came with a 427 iron or alluminum block, a 140mph speedometer, and 15x7 rally wheels. A rare car that you might see in classic car auctions.
1934 Ford Cabriolet
Eye catching kit car styled after the 1934 Cabriolet.
1963 Chevrolet Corvette
For 1963, the Corvettes body/chassis were completely redesigned and for the 1st time, a coupe body was available. A center window "split" on the coupes marked the one year only iconic "split window". The chassis featured an independent rear suspension with a single transverse leaf spring.
1955 Ford Thunderbird
Ford did not consider the Thunderbird a sports car, but rather, a “personal luxury vehicle” by putting greater emphasis on the comfort and convenience of the car despite its sporty lines and V8 motor.
1940 Ford Deluxe
A high flat-topped hood dominated the front look of the 1940 model, as the grille spread out to reach the fenders to differentiate the Deluxe line and the headlights were pushed wider still. The standard Ford inherited the grille of the 1939 model with blackout on each side of a heavy chrome center; heavier headlight surrounds serve as another major differentiator from the 1939.
1973 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
GM no longer offered the SS option on the Camaro, although the RS and Z/28 options were still available. The Z/28 now had an A/C option, and all Camaros had a power window option.
1967 Dodge Dart
The 1967 Dart ushered in the fourth generation with new styling, revised steering systems, wider front track and frame rail spacing, and redesigned K-members, capable of accepting larger engines. The Dart would keep its basic form, with facelifts, through the end of the A-body production in 1976.
1966 Ford Mustang
Not much was changed for the 1966 Mustang due to great sales from previous years. However, 14-inch tires came standard on all models and the GT’s instrument cluster was made standard on all models.
1967 Ford Mustang
The 1967 Mustang received significant styling changes that included revised grille and taillights-the taillights you recognize on Mustangs these days with the three vertical lights on either side of the tail.
1985 Toyota Celica Supra
While 1985 was to be the last year of the second generation model, delays in production of the third generation model led to a surplus of second generation Supras. During the first half of 1986 the 1985 P-type was still offered for sale, with only minor cosmetic changes as well as the addition of a now mandatory rear-mounted third brake light on the hatch. These were all labelled officially as 1986 models. P-types were the only model available in 1986.
