Classic American muscle cars deliver unmatched style and power, but the technology under the hood hasn’t kept pace with modern performance and safety standards. At Tony’s Muscle Cars, we specialize in rebuilding, restoring, and upgrading classics – blending vintage looks with today’s engineering for the ultimate driving experience.
Here are five performance upgrades we can help you bring to life:
1. Suspension & Chassis Restorations
Factory suspensions on ’60s and ’70s muscle cars were built for drag racing and straight-line power, not cornering or modern road conditions. That’s why we offer chassis restorations and suspension upgrades designed to improve handling, stability, and ride comfort.
- Complete chassis restorations
- Coilover and suspension kit installations
- Bushing replacements for tighter steering response
With a rebuilt chassis and upgraded suspension, your car will handle curves as confidently as it handles straightaways.
2. Disc Brake Upgrades & Safety Enhancements
Original drum brakes fade quickly under heat and aren’t built for today’s traffic. As part of our restomod and pro-touring builds, we install modern disc brake systems that give you consistent, reliable stopping power without compromising authenticity.
- Vented rotor conversions
- High-performance calipers
- Modern hydraulic systems integrated into classic builds
Better braking means more safety, and the confidence to push your car harder.
3. Engine Upgrades & Fuel System Modernization
At Tony’s Muscle Cars, we specialize in engine upgrades, crate engines, and custom builds. Many customers choose to step into modern powerplants, like GM’s LS-series fuel-injected engines, to improve performance and reliability.
- LS and modern crate engine installations
- Carburetor overhauls and detailing
- Custom pro-touring fuel delivery systems
Whether you want to keep it carbureted or upgrade to EFI, we can build your motor to match your vision.
4. Exhaust & Performance Tuning
A muscle car’s soul lives in its exhaust note. Our restomod and custom build services include full exhaust system upgrades designed for flow, durability, and that unmistakable growl.
- Mandrel-bent stainless exhausts
- Performance header integration
- Custom tuning for horsepower and sound
The right exhaust setup doesn’t just free up horsepower, it makes your car sound like it should.
5. Cooling System Improvements
Big-block engines and high-compression builds are notorious for running hot. That’s why our rebuilds often include modern cooling system upgrades to keep temperatures in check and your engine running strong.
- Aluminum radiators
- Electric fan setups
- High-flow water pump upgrades
Keeping your muscle car cool means you’ll enjoy longer drives without the risk of overheating.
