Dennis Collins’ Restoration Journey with a 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500

Collins’ enthusiasm for two pristine GM square-body pickups is hard to contain – one is a gleaming black 1985 GMC Sierra with 22,000 miles that looks like it just rolled off the dealer’s lot.

We learn that the previous (and original) owner protected this vehicle with more than 25 aftermarket accessories, including seat and steering wheel covers, it’s a four-wheel-drive beauty with a 305-cubic-inch V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox.

A second truck (from the same source), a red 350 V8 1987 Chevrolet Silverado pickup with 34,000 miles, is also in equally mint condition.

Both vehicles received new gas tanks and sending units, but otherwise didn’t require much work.

Viewers then get treated to more classics coming back to life, among them is a ‘70s-era Porsche 911 that needed two years of painstaking work, including a rebuilt 2.7-liter engine and transmission.

Collins proudly shows off the restored Recaro sport seats that will soon grace the car’s interior.

Finishing out the video is a sneak peek of a 1971 Dodge Challenger undergoing resurrection from bare metal – but this Mopar will get a restomod powertrain thanks to a 6.4-liter Hemi crate engine and Tremec T56 six-speed transmission
