Charging Through The Years - Muscle Car Of The Week Episode 366
Charging Through The Years - Muscle Car Of The Week Episode 366 For many people, the name Dodge Charger is synonymous with the term Muscle Car. The muscular design and powerful engine options practically define what a Muscle Car should be. When Charger hit the scene in mid 1966, it looked like nothing else from Dodge. Charger ads claimed this car made it from the “drawing board to the...

1969 VW Bus Engine Swap and Suspension Modificaitons at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This 1969 Volkswagen Bus looks sweet, but is in need of some tuning and maintenance.  The owner wishes the V8 Speed Team to perform a complete tune up, add some Wilwood disc brakes, perform some paint repairs, and change out the "camper" windows for regular glass sliders.  A new suspension system will allow the VW to lay low, but drive safely at ride-height going down the road.  New wiring will keep the Type 2 safe as well.

1984 Ford Mustang GT302H Predator Maintenance at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop

This is a car that many have never heard of... a 1984 Ford Mustang Predator GT302H.   These were built by Solomon America and sold through select Ford dealerships.   The Predator started as a Mustang GT and added uinque striping, a 4-point roll cage, 8-spoke wheels, a hood scoop, a front strut brace similar to a "Monte Carlo bar", custom valve covers... and this one is wearing a black and gold "Hertz" color scheme.    Only around 130 were built in 1984, and this one came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for a few upgrades and to return to the road as our customer's son's first car.   Too cool!

1963 Imperial Crown Convertible Maintenance at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop

This is a very cool car, a 1963 Imperial Crown Convertible.    It's one of approximately 513 built, and it's showing less than 28,000 miles.   It's powered by a 413 Wedge V8 connected to a pushbutton automatic transmission.    We love the space-age Virgil Exner "Forward Look" styling, with cool details like the headlight pods and the "sqaure" steering wheel.  The current owner has known the car since he was a kid, and knows the original owning family.  It's been sitting for a number of years, and it came to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop to be brought back to safe driving condition.

Special Guest Chris Vopat chats about Dan Gurney, the Petersen Museum, and More on the V8 Radio Podcast

 

The right car can stop you in your tracks. 

 

Kevin Oeste and Mike "Q-Ball" Clarke are joined by longtime friend Chris Vopat, a guy who's worked in automotive publishing, racing events, performance products, and is also a docent at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.   We learn about the Dan Gurney memorabilia auction back in the early 2000s, as well as what it's like to guide the Vault tour at the Pete.   And of course, there's lots of Automotive Trivia scattered throughout, and lots of laughs as well!
