  40. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Volkswagen Type 181 is a two-wheel drive, four-door convertible, manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen from 1968 until 1983. Originally developed for the West German Army, the Type 181 also entered the civilian market as the Kurierwagen (&#8220;courier car&#8221;) in West Germany, the Trekker (RHD Type 182) in the United Kingdom, the Thing in the United States and Canada (1973-74), the Safari in Mexico and South America, and Pescaccia in Italy. Civilian sales ended after model year 1980.</p><p>Manufactured in Wolfsburg, West Germany (1968-1974), Hanover, West Germany (1975-1978), Puebla, Mexico (1970-1980), and Jakarta, Indonesia (1972-1980), the Type 181 shared its mechanicals with Volkswagen Microbus, its floor pan with the Type 1 Karmann Ghia, and its concept with the company&#8217;s Kubelwagen, which had been used by the German military during World War II. </p><p>All four doors were removable and interchangeable, the windshield folded flat, and the convertible roof could be removed for al fresco driving. The spartan interior featured vinyl covered bucket seats, painted sheet metal, drain holes and perforated rubber mats. A fiberglass hardtop and trunk-mounted auxiliary heater were offered as individual options. </p><p>The floorpans came from the Type 1 Karmann Ghia, which has a wider floorpan than the Beetle. Rear swing axle suspension with reduction gearing from the discontinued split-screen Volkswagen Transporter was used until 1973, when it was replaced with double-jointed axles used by Porsche and IRS semi-trailing arm setup as used on the 1303 and US-spec Beetles.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="564" height="751" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/73-Thing.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139219" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/73-Thing.jpg 564w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/73-Thing-225x300.jpg 225w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/73-Thing-100x133.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><p>This Volkswagen Thing came in for a starter issue that we will be diagnosing.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139243" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139243" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1727885827337143_1-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>

  65. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Jeep CJ models are a series and a range of small, oprn-bodied off-road vehicles and compact pickup trucks, built and sold by several successive incarnations of the Jeep automobile marque from 1945 through 1986. The 1945 Willys &#8220;Universal Jeep&#8221; was the world&#8217;s first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car. </p><p>In 1944, Willys-Overland, the primary manufacturer of the World War II military Jeep, built the first prototypes for a commercial version &#8211; the CJ, short for &#8220;civilian Jeep&#8221;. The design was a direct evolution from the war jeep, but the most obvious change was adding a tailgate, and relocating the spare wheel to the side. Also, besides adding basic civilian amenities and options and legally compliant lighting, the CJ required a sturdier drivetrain than the war jeep, because the targeted rural buyers would work the vehicles hard and expect years of durability, instead of mere weeks as during WWII.</p><p>The Jeep CJ-7 featured a wheelbase 10 inches longer than that of the CJ-5, with its curved side entry cutouts partially squared up to accommodate hinged doors. The other main difference between CJ-5 and CJ-7 was to the chassis, which consisted of two parallel longitudinal main c-section rails. To help improve vehicle handling and stability, the rear section of the chassis stepped out to allow the springs and shock absorbers to be mounted closer to the outside of the body. It was introduced for the 1976 model year, with a total of 379,299 built during eleven years of production.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="736" height="970" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/83-CJ7.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139319" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/83-CJ7.jpg 736w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/83-CJ7-228x300.jpg 228w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/83-CJ7-100x132.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/83-CJ7-600x791.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px" /></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><p>The Jeep came in for a new paint job so we will be disassembling the body to prep for media blast. We will also be replacing the seats and frames with brand new ones. The engine and transmission are going to be getting an overhaul to get it running again, testing the electrical system and checking the suspension and brakes. </p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139323" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139323" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/1718134752359951_0-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>

  144. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Toyota Land Cruiser, also sometimes spelt as LandCruiser, is a series of four-wheel drive vehicles produced by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. It is a Toyota&#8217;s longest running series of models. As of 2019, the sales of the Land Cruiser totaled to more that 10 million units worldwide. </p><p>Production of the first generation of the Land Cruiser began in 1951. The Land Cruiser has been produced in convertible, hardtop, station wagon and cab chassis body styles. The Land Cruiser&#8217;s reliability and longevity have led to huge popularity, especially in Australia, where it is the best-selling body-on-frame, four-wheel drive vehicle. Toyota also extensively tests the Land Cruiser in the Australian outback &#8211; considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain. In Japan, the Land Cruiser was once exclusive to Toyota Japanese dealerships called Toyota Store. </p><p>Since 1990, the smaller variation of the Land Cruiser has been marketed as the Land Cruiser Prado. Described as a &#8216;light-duty&#8217; version of the Land Cruiser by Toyota, it features a different design compared to the full-size model and up until 2023, it remains the only comfort-oriented Land Cruiser available with a short-wheelbase 3-door version. </p><p>In January 1998, the 100 series Land Cruiser was introduced to replace the eight-year-old series. The 100 series was previewed in October 1997 as the &#8220;Grand Cruiser&#8221; at the 32nd Tokyo Motor Show. Development began in 1991 under code name 404T, with the final design being frozen in mid-1994.</p><p>In 1998, a suspension system combing Active Height Control (AHC) and Skyhook TEMS Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension on the Land Cruiser J100 was introduced. </p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="564" height="586" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/98-Land-Cruiser.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139289" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/98-Land-Cruiser.jpg 564w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/98-Land-Cruiser-289x300.jpg 289w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/98-Land-Cruiser-100x104.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><p>This Land Cruiser came in for engine work to diagnose if there is a cracked head or bad head gasket. We will also be draining the old fuel, blowing out the fuel lines, checking fluids and install the battery. Once we get the vehicle running, we will be testing the suspension, brakes and electrical. </p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-11 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139291" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-1920x1440.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139291" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/20240906_092107-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></figure>

  169. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 1940 Chevrolet Pickup stands as a symbol of American automotive history, embodying both durability and style. With its sleek design and impressive performance, this vintage truck has become a sought-after classic for restoration enthusiasts. At Texoma Classics, we specialize in <strong>1940 Chevrolet Pickup restoration</strong>, bringing these historic vehicles back to life with meticulous attention to detail.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">The 1940 Chevrolet Pickup: A Redesigned Beauty</h3><p>In 1940, Chevrolet introduced a redesigned look for its vehicles, including the pickup line, giving it a more refined and polished appearance. The <strong>1940 Chevrolet Pickup</strong> grille took inspiration from Buick models, lending it an elegant yet sturdy presence on the road. These trucks were slightly larger than their predecessors, offering more comfort and style for their time.</p><p>Buyers had three main models to choose from in 1940:</p><ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Master 85</strong>: The entry-level model with a simpler design.</li>
  170.  
  171. <li><strong>Master Deluxe</strong>: Positioned as a mid-range option with enhanced features.</li>
  172.  
  173. <li><strong>Special Deluxe</strong>: The top-tier model, loaded with luxury appointments and the best-selling option.</li></ul><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Performance Specs of the 1940 Chevrolet Pickup</h3><p>Every 1940 Chevy, including the pickup, was equipped with a reliable 216.5 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engine. This engine generated 85 horsepower at 3,200 RPM and featured a 6.25 to 1 compression ratio. This powertrain, combined with a durable <strong>three-speed manual transmission</strong>, made the 1940 Chevrolet Pickup a reliable workhorse during its era. These features continue to attract vintage car enthusiasts today, especially when considering a full <strong>1940 Chevrolet Pickup restoration</strong>.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Pricing and Popularity in 1940</h3><p>The <strong>1940 Chevrolet Master 85</strong> was the most affordable option, priced between $659 and $903, while the <strong>Master Deluxe</strong> ranged from $684 to $766. For those who wanted the utmost in luxury, the <strong>Special Deluxe</strong> was available for $720 to $934. The Special Deluxe, with its high-end features, became the best seller, while the Master 85 was favored by those seeking a more budget-friendly vehicle.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="564" height="810" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/40-Chevrolet.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139201" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/40-Chevrolet.jpg 564w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/40-Chevrolet-209x300.jpg 209w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/40-Chevrolet-100x144.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><p>Our Latest 1940 Chevrolet Pickup Restoration Project</p><p>At Texoma Classics, we recently had the pleasure of working on a <strong>1940 Chevrolet Pickup restoration</strong> project.

The <strong>F-150</strong> was also introduced that same year to help Ford navigate new emission regulations, adding another layer to the F-Series&#8217; storied history.</p><p>For classic truck enthusiasts, the <strong>1975 Ford F250</strong> represents a prime example of Ford&#8217;s evolution in truck manufacturing during the mid-70s, and restoring one offers a unique blend of nostalgia and technical challenge.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="563" height="758" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1975-F100.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139175" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1975-F100.jpg 563w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1975-F100-223x300.jpg 223w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1975-F100-100x135.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px" /></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Texoma Classics&#8217; Approach to Restoring the 1975 Ford F250</h4><p>Restoring a <strong>vintage Ford truck</strong>, especially a <strong>1975 Ford F250</strong>, requires attention to detail and an understanding of the era-specific design and mechanical elements. Here’s a breakdown of some of the key restoration steps we’re taking for this project:</p><p>1. Interior Restoration</p><p>Our first step was to carefully remove the bench seat, carpet, and padding from the interior of the cab. Over time, these materials can degrade, especially in older trucks, and they often need replacing to maintain authenticity while ensuring comfort and durability. Our goal is to restore the interior with period-correct materials that replicate the original look and feel of the <strong>1975 F250</strong>.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-13 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139176" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139176" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722372030863379_2-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>

Tailgate Troubleshooting and Repair</p><p>Next, we focused on diagnosing an issue with the tailgate, which wasn’t latching properly. Tailgate mechanisms in <strong>classic trucks</strong> can become worn out or misaligned over time, which is why this step is essential in restoring the functionality of the vehicle. We take pride in ensuring every detail, even down to the tailgate, is restored to its original working condition.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-14 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139178" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139178" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1722957185358304_0-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>

Fuel System Overhaul</p><p>Another significant task in this <strong>1975 Ford F250 restoration</strong> was removing both gas tanks from underneath the pickup. Many classic trucks, including the F-250, feature dual fuel tanks. Over time, rust, debris, and old fuel can cause issues, so we’re thoroughly cleaning and restoring the fuel system to ensure it runs smoothly and safely. Fuel system restoration is critical for both performance and safety, particularly in older trucks that haven’t been driven for years.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139187" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-1920x1440.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139187" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/20240813_141144-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>

  248. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When it comes to <strong>classic car restoration</strong>, few vehicles capture the imagination like the <strong>Chevrolet Impala</strong>. Spanning multiple generations from 1958 to 2020, the Impala has been an iconic part of American automotive history. Whether you own a 1960s Impala or one of the newer models, <strong>restoring a Chevrolet Impala</strong> can be both a challenging and rewarding endeavor.</p><p>At <strong>Texoma Classics</strong>, we&#8217;ve restored numerous <strong>vintage Chevrolet Impalas</strong>, helping enthusiasts return these stunning vehicles to their former glory. In this post, we&#8217;ll walk you through the restoration of a recent project: a classic 1964 Impala, detailing the restoration process from engine rebuilds to bodywork.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">A Brief History of the Chevrolet Impala</h4><p>The <strong>Chevrolet Impala</strong> made its debut in 1958 as a flagship model for Chevrolet. It quickly became known for its symmetrical triple taillights and sleek design, setting it apart from other full-size cars on the road. The Impala was restyled in 1961 on the GM B platform, with a more streamlined, boxy appearance, and in 1964, the Impala received a softer, more rounded look.</p><p>One of the defining characteristics of the early 1960s models, particularly the <strong>1964 Chevrolet Impala</strong>, was its 409 cu in V8 engine. With the introduction of performance features like dual four-barrel Carter AFB carburetors, the <strong>1964 Impala SS</strong> became a highly sought-after muscle car. Whether restoring a rare SS model or a more standard variant, the Impala offers a wealth of possibilities for customization and performance upgrades.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/64-Impala.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="564" height="780" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/64-Impala.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139034" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/64-Impala.jpg 564w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/64-Impala-217x300.jpg 217w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/64-Impala-100x138.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /></a></figure><hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/><p>The Restoration Process for a 1964 Chevrolet Impala</p><p>When this <strong>1964 Chevrolet Impala</strong> arrived at our shop, it was in need of serious attention under the hood and on the body.

Exterior Paint and Trim</strong></p><p>The <strong>engine removal</strong> is one of the most critical steps in any <strong>Chevrolet Impala restoration</strong>. Our team at Texoma Classics begins by carefully disconnecting all the wiring, hoses, and ancillary components attached to the engine, ensuring that no parts are damaged during the process. Once these are safely removed, we proceed to lift the engine out of the car using specialized hoisting equipment. This allows us to inspect the engine bay for any signs of wear, rust, or other issues that need addressing. The removed engine is then either restored or replaced, depending on the restoration goals. In this case, we’re preparing to install a high-performance 350 small-block engine, a perfect upgrade for this classic <strong>1964 Impala</strong>.</p><figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-20 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1440" data-id="139056" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-139056" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18.jpg 1920w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-300x225.jpg 300w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-768x576.jpg 768w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-100x75.jpg 100w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/1726609675313104_18-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></a></figure>

First, we drain the fuel and disconnect the fuel lines to avoid any hazards during the removal process. Once the fuel is safely removed, the tank is unbolted and carefully lowered from beneath the car. Removing the tank allows us to check for corrosion or damage that may have occurred over the years.

  344. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Restoring a 1973 Corvette at Texoma Classics: A Step-by-Step Journey</strong></p><p>At Texoma Classics, we specialize in bringing classic cars like the 1973 Chevrolet Corvette back to life. As part of the third generation (C3) of Corvettes, this iconic American sports car is beloved for its distinctive fiberglass body, powerful performance, and sleek design. Restoring a 1973 Corvette is a rewarding project that preserves a piece of automotive history while enhancing its appeal to both collectors and enthusiasts. In this post, we&#8217;ll walk you through our restoration process for this particular Corvette, which included replacing the bumper and addressing issues with the soft top and passenger window.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">The 1973 Corvette: A Classic Icon</h3><p>The 1973 Corvette marked a key transition for Chevrolet’s sports car line. While it retained the iconic Stingray styling, it featured several updates to meet new government safety standards, such as the replacement of the chrome front bumper with a 5-mph impact-resistant urethane bumper. However, the chrome rear bumper was still intact, making this model year unique. Another defining feature of this era was the optional wire-spoked wheel covers, available for the last time in 1973.</p><p>Restoring a 1973 Corvette presents its own set of challenges. Whether it’s ensuring the accuracy of body panel fitment, updating mechanical components, or restoring the soft top, each task requires a deep understanding of vintage car restoration techniques. At Texoma Classics, we have the experience and expertise to restore these American classics with precision.</p><figure data-wp-context="{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;67342ccc5183c&quot;}" data-wp-interactive="core/image" class="wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="564" height="705" data-wp-class--hide="state.isContentHidden" data-wp-class--show="state.isContentVisible" data-wp-init="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on-async--click="actions.showLightbox" data-wp-on-async--load="callbacks.setButtonStyles" data-wp-on-async-window--resize="callbacks.setButtonStyles" src="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/73-Corvette.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-138999" srcset="https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/73-Corvette.jpg 564w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/73-Corvette-240x300.jpg 240w, https://texomaclassics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/73-Corvette-100x125.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 564px) 100vw, 564px" /><button

  388. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At Texoma Classics, we understand that classic truck enthusiasts want more than just a vehicle; they want a piece of history, restored to perfection.

A meticulously restored interior not only enhances your driving experience but also preserves the vintage appeal and increases the value of your truck. That’s why our <strong>expert classic truck interior restoration</strong> services are here to bring your classic truck’s cabin back to its former glory.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Why Classic Truck Interior Restoration is Important</h4><p>When people think of <strong><a href="https://texomaclassics.com/restorations">restoration</a></strong>, they often focus on the exterior—the sleek paint job, the polished chrome, and the powerful engine beneath the hood.

  413. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Classic muscle cars are cherished for their bold designs, timeless interiors, and enduring craftsmanship. While many enthusiasts aim to restore their cars to factory-original condition, others prefer to modernize certain features, blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary conveniences. Whether you&#8217;re looking to maintain the classic look or introduce modern comforts and safety features, here are some top ideas to enhance your muscle car while keeping its impressive appearance intact.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Enjoy the Comforts of Modern Muscle Cars</h4><p>While classic cars carry undeniable charm, they often lack the conveniences we’ve come to expect in modern vehicles. Adding features like <strong>air conditioning</strong> and <strong>power steering</strong> can make a significant difference in the driving experience without compromising the car’s vintage appeal.</p><p>Air conditioning is especially important for those living in warmer climates, and upgrading it in your classic car ensures you stay cool and comfortable during drives. On the other hand, power steering became more common in the late ‘50s and ‘60s, but many earlier muscle cars lack this feature. Installing power steering can reduce driver fatigue, especially on longer trips, and make tight maneuvers or parking much easier—helping to preserve your car from potential damage.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Boost Safety with Modern Muscle Car Upgrades</h4><p>Safety is always a priority, and while classic cars were built to last, their safety features often fall short of today’s standards. For example, <strong>drum brakes</strong> were common in cars built over 30 years ago but tend to wear out faster and require more frequent maintenance. Switching to <strong>disc brakes</strong> can significantly improve your car’s braking power, ensuring a safer driving experience.</p><p>Additionally, suspension systems in older cars were much less advanced than they are today. As a car ages, its suspension can degrade, leading to a rough and potentially unsafe ride. You can either restore your classic’s suspension to its original specs or opt for a modern suspension system that delivers a smoother, more comfortable drive. Regardless of your choice, replacing essential parts like shocks, springs, bushings, and ball joints is critical to ensuring a safer ride.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Explore Other Modern Upgrades and Aftermarket Options</h4><p>Beyond comfort and safety, there are plenty of <strong>aftermarket upgrades</strong> that can enhance your classic muscle car. For instance, many cars from the pre-1980s era used points ignition systems, which deteriorate over time and can make starting the car unreliable. Upgrading to <strong>electronic ignition</strong> will improve reliability and ensure your car runs smoothly.</p><p>Other popular upgrades include modern <strong>stereo systems</strong> for an enhanced audio experience during cruises or road trips, and <strong>heated seats</strong> for added comfort in colder months. The possibilities for improving your driving experience with modern touches are nearly endless while keeping the soul of your classic muscle car intact.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Trust the Experts for Your Classic Car Needs</h4><p>What’s the point of owning a classic muscle car if you can’t fully enjoy it?
