Automotive Rescue Mission: Velocity Restorations shows off custom rebuilds

All right, we are back in the back lot with some American muscle. I mean, some beauties right here. I'm joined by Stuart Wilson with Velocity. Hey, Josh. Hey, good morning to you. How are you? Awesome. All right, man. So let's start in the middle. Yeah. Tell me what we have here. I'm seeing Bronco old school. Pretty nice. Hey, so this is a 69 Bronco. This is our signature series model. Actually, the Bronco is what I founded the company with is our very first vehicle that we purchased or built. It started with my own personal Bronco, and so this is an example of that. Some nice tires. Yeah, man. BF Goodrich. Take us inside. When you get in, how does it feel? What do you see? Yeah, so all of our model lineup, I tried to stick with the original heritage of the vehicle, right? There's a lot of customization out there, people changing vehicles. We try to really stay true to that American legacy, the Detroit legacy, right? Original parts. Yeah, man. These vehicles were built here in Detroit. We want to preserve that. So we tried to really stick to a original look, but a modern driving experience. Beautiful. I'm digging this green over here, Stuart. What do we have here? Yes, this is my favorite. This is actually my personal vehicle. Nicely done. Yeah, man. I've done a 3000 mile road trip in this truck. This truck is meant to be driven every single day. Take a look inside. This is a little bit larger than a Bronco, more family oriented, much more comfortable, room for luggage, room for that daily experience. Okay, you definitely need those flats to hop on in. Yeah, absolutely. This one's a little bit taller. Okay. Now, my photographer, I'm going to have you do a little bit of a 180. I'm curious about this brown beauty over here, Stuart. What do we have? Yeah, so if you look at these three, this is our signature series. This is sort of our lead off model. The K5 gets into the heritage models, and then this is our founder. This is sort of the pinnacle experience with Velocity. This is a program where each client sits down with me, designs their vehicle. I get to know the founder, how they got to where they're at in their life, how I got to where I'm at, and we design a vehicle around them. These vehicles take about a year or so through the design process and the build process, but this is the highest spec that we offer. How often do you hear about, or how often do you deal with people who come to you for custom-made? Yeah, so I mean, everybody wants custom-made. What custom-made means to each person is different, right? Some people want to be involved in every aspect of the build. Some people just want to be involved in choosing their colors and their seat colors. Beautiful. Which one of these can you start up for me? We want to hear that American muscle. Since we're close here, let you get on into the custom-made vehicle. What's underneath the hood? This is a LT1 out of a modern GM truck platform or Tahoe platform. Smooth. Not the way it came from the factory. I'm digging the interior, too. I love this olive green. Yeah. So we've got in-house designers. I sit down with them, sort of give them the vision of what I'm looking for. Matt Val is actually our designer in-house that designed this whole interior. We manufacture the whole thing at our headquarters in Pensacola for each vehicle. All right. Let's see what's in the front. Let's see the rim, the front rim. I'm curious on how this looks. Take a look over here and see what the front part of it looks like. Yes. This vehicle actually has a lot of one-off parts. Sort of looks a little factory, but if you get into it, every bezel is billet that we designed in-house. The whole front end, the wheels are three-piece billet designed to look like an original wheel, but modernized, better, higher quality. Every item on here is one-off for this vehicle. All right. On that note, Stuart, of course, I'm not trying to get the exact price, but give me somewhat of a ballpark. When you talk about custom-made vehicles, what are we looking at potentially? Broncos start around $250,000. These start around $400,000. All right. Good stuff. This one goes up from there. I'm sure it goes up a little bit more. The KC, anything behind that? Yes. This is actually my personal truck. I'm lucky enough to own the first serial number of every truck. We designed that roof rack, the lights, everything in-house. I wanted that look on my truck. Beautiful. Real quick, where can people find you? VelocityRestorations.com, Pensacola, Florida. Instagram, social, all channels. Appreciate that. Thanks, Josh. Appreciate it. All right. I'll send it back to you, guys. We'll be right back.
