Rob’s 1970, Ford Mustang Boss 302
Owned since 1978, Bought it for $450.00 with no motor or tranny and it already had rust holes in the rear quarters. Hauled it home in my dads grain truck. Rebuilt with salvage yard 351 Cleveland and top loader tranny. Daily driver from spring of 79 until 1985. In hibernation until 2012 when Ford had a big display at the L A Autoshow including a 2012 Boss 302 running on a dyno in the exhibition hall. If that doesn’t get your juices flowing to go home and get your old Boss out of the barn you aren’t a true car guy. I spent a year interviewing resto/body shops. Spent a summer stripping off anything I could unbolt except the suspension/wheels/tires. Dropped off at the resto shop in 2015. Final assembly started with the first parts order on News Year's weekend 2020. First drive was August 2020. All in all a pretty nice way to spend a pandemic/lockdown.

I’ve had this car since 1978. I took my driver’s exam in it at 16 years old in 1980 and it got me through high school. Life moves on. Got married and had 3 kids to raise. Parked it in 1988 and over the years did a few thing, but it wasn’t until 2016 when things started to happen. Now has a 289 V8, automatic, with Sniper EFI. Eaton Detroit Springs came to the rescue with the correct springs!

It has a custom paint job and custom interior. Dakota Digital Gauges too. A couple of years ago I decided new coil springs were needed. I am very happy with the improvements they made.
Mike’s 1948 Studebaker M16 truck

Paul’s 1970 Dodge Challenger
Purchased From Buffalo NY in 2000. 383cuin rebuilt to 412hp. Suspension by Eaton. Thanks.
Nick’s 72 Camaro
Been working on this car since August 2024. I didn't like the fact that the back was low and almost uneven. Five leaf. I was advised to get the four leaf and it was the best decision I could have done. It actually raced it up to the level that I just love looking at. I think it might have given it about 2 in height.
Tom’s 1935 MG NB Magnette
One of 98 built, this two-seat roadster was found derelict in a Georgia field 35 years ago. Mostly rusted beyond repair, the chassis was rebuilt using Eaton leaf springs front & rear (thank you!) A new wood framed body was built and new or used parts were obtained from sources around the world. It won Best in Class at Amelia Island Concours (Pre-war Sports Class) among many other AACA and concours awards, in addition to being competitively driven. With a straight 6 OHC, twin carb, 11:1 compression, the sound at 5,500 RPM always brings a smile.
Doug’s 1970 American Motors AMX
Go Pack 390, 4 Speed, 3:54 Twin Grip rear. All business w/no power steering or AC. Frost White paint and 1 of 186 with a red leather interior. Purchased in '07, complete, intact w/all original parts on the virtually rust free car which had not ran or been driven for 20 years. I got it drveable in 6 months. Rattle can white primered it and drove it like that for 5 yrs. Did a ground up restoration in 2013 and have had it on the road since that was completed in 2016. 38k miles showed on the clock when I got it and it now says 61k. Too much fun not to enjoy and to let others enjoy her as well
Alan’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
This was originally a Tripoli Turquoise Camaro convertible that had a really bad red color paint job over the original color. It had a 327, 2bbl, with a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. Very low horsepower - rated at 210, but after the years, probably not even close. I wanted something that was more fun to drive and show at the car shows. I put in a 355 (350 bored 0.40 over) engine from Blueprint Engines, with about 400 horsepower and married it up with a 4L60e 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. Also converted the 3.08 highway gears to 3.55 posi-trac. I also made this an SS clone, so I put a new SS hood on, rear spoiler, and all the SS badging. Had it painted in 2020 and am very pleased with the results. Also had to put some Eaton Detroit multi-leaf springs on the back and new stiffer coil springs on the front, to help with the handling and new power. It previously had single leaf springs in the back. The guys at Eaton were very helpful when I was making my choice. Needless to say the car is fun to drive and gets "thumbs-up's" from people all the time. I've won several awards this summer at car shows too, which is always welcomed validation. I drive it as much as possible during the summer.

WILLIAM’s 1963 Studebaker Avanti
We're the second-family owners of our Avanti. Upon the original owner's passing, we had the good fortune to buy our Avanti - sight unseen - from his daughter who lived in Atlanta, GA. She had an Avanti II and preferred its ride and handling. Bought at 88,600 original miles, the car now sports 108,000 miles. Wearing its original Avanti Turquoise paint, R4314 was built with a T86 3-speed transmission and is powered by its naturally aspirated Studebaker 289-4V Studebaker motor, often designated as an R1. I run American Classic P205/75R radial tires and OE wheel covers. The Eaton rear springs assist in maintaining its originality.

Dwayne’s 1966 Chevy II SS Nova
1966 Baby Blue I’m the 3rd registered owner of this Marina Blue 1966 Chevy II SS Nova, powered by a 327/350hp engine and controlled through the shifting of a smooth 4 speed Muncie transmission. This Chevy II has been a labor of love from bumper to bumper where every nut and bolt has been replaced. The newly installed Eaton 3 leaf spring (stock fit) gives this Chevy Duce that smooth and sleek stance appearance that most of us remembered for. When cruising through the narrow curvy roads of East Tennessee, it continues to hold that sleek stylish stance that captures the eyes and “thumbs up” gestures from those who remember and appreciated the 1960’s muscle car era.
Vincent’s 1955 Chevy 3600
Original patina truck with original 235 engine ,Eaton 2 inch drop springs riding on a set of 20’s Detroit steeles.
Nick’s 1929 Rolls Royce, Boat Tail Roadster
This car was a barn find in New York State, and had been stripped of engine, trans and axles for the war effort. Since parts are extremely rare, a resto mod had to be done to get back on the road. Chevy 350, TH350 trans, Mustang II front axle are some of the parts that were used. Eaton custom made the front springs, and they work great !!
Skateboard Mark’s 75 ford Ranchero 500
I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this abomination. It's 429 has better specs than a Super Cobra Jet, and yet it is EVIL. IT EATS CHILDREN! Perhaps it is the Frankenstein array of parts from other brands, other Ford models of different years, Chrysler, Chevy, and even Harley-Davidson share a home under the hood. But one of the first things I did was to put stiffer and lowered front springs under that big block, so now when she runs 'em over, I barely notice.
Steven’s 1956 Chevy 210 Del Ray

Ray and Dan’s 1934 Chrysler Airflow CU
My brother Dan and I inherited this 1934 Chrysler Airflow in 2008 from our Uncle Weston. He had the car restored over a 17 year period. This car has been in our family for 50 years, We have continued the restoration trying to make it as close to original as possible. One issue we had since we got the car was terrible "Death Wobble" and lots of squeaks and squawks from the suspension. After rebuilding all of the suspension except the leaf springs we decided it was time to order new springs all the way around. Eaton Detroit springs had all the right specs and were able to build us the new springs. That has been one of the best investments we have made since having the car. The "Death Wobble" has not happened since and the squeaks and squawks are gone too. Thanks Ray Corder
Alan’s 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible
I bought this about 5 years ago and have been doing various restorations & modifications to it. It was completely stock when I bought it; a 327, 2 bbl with maybe 200 hp; air conditioning and a 2 speed Powerglide transmission. Since then I've put in a 400 HP Blueprint 350 4-bolt main engine with Edelbrock performer series intake and 600 cfm carb, all hooked to a 4L60e 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission. I've completely rebuilt the front end and used Eaton Detroit Springs for my new multi-leaf springs in the rear. I just got it painted and only a couple next steps. I'm going to add a posi rear end with 3:42 gears, as it's still got the original 3:08 setup.
Art’s 1959 Plymouth Sport Fury Hdtp
The car has been restored to original condition. It has been estimated that less than 100 Sport Fury hardtops and convertibles (restored to original condition) exist today. The styling of this Plymouth by Virgil Exner with his "Forward Look" design was so popular by the buying public that it put Chrysler in the #3 sales position of the "Big Three" car companies back in the 50's and 60's. The height as manufactured from the ground to the roof top is only 58" high. It has a very reliable pushbutton transmission and torsion bar front suspension. It was the last year for body-on-frame construction.

Art’s 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible
THE STORY OF BLU-BIRD This is my very special car named BLU-BIRD. It is a 1964 Ford Galaxie 500XL Convertible. BLU-BIRD is special because it is about 98% all original. Over the years BLU-BIRD has had a few paint touch ups, otherwise it’s the same car that was born in 1964. I came to own this car by coincidence. In 1967 I bought a ’63 Galaxie 500XL Convertible which was almost identical to BLU-BIRD. It was a great ‘baby blue’ car, but it wasn’t as nice as BLU-BIRD in several ways. The upholstery was different, no power windows and overall few of the special options shown below. It had a 352ci engine and a 2bbl carb. I got married in 1968 and we drove that car to Michigan where I was stationed in the Air Force. Not long after, we traded it in for a new 1968 Ford Torino Fastback. Wish I also had that car now! So how did I get to own this car? Over the years I would look at similar cars on eBay, never intending to actually buy one. Then one night we ordered Chinese for dinner. My fortune cookie said THERE WILL BE A 4 WHEEL INVESTMENT IN YOUR LIFE. So I went to eBay and found this amazing car with only 67,500 original miles on it being offered on consignment by a classic car dealer in Phoenix. After a little negotiation it became mine. True story. As an all original car, BLU-BIRD is a perfect DNA time capsule, having had only normal restorative work to maintain its original beauty. BLU-BIRD is powered by a 390ci engine with a 4bbl carburetor and a C4 automatic transmission. The interior is original and shows it’s age just a little bit. Me too. I like it that way. We’re a good fit. BLU-BIRD has many special options which were available in 1964, as follows:  Chrome side mirrors (dealer installed)  Stainless steel rocker panels  Front bumper guards  Spinner wheel covers  Rear fender skirts  Rare Power windows  Rare Trunk mounted antenna (dealer installed)  Rare Power trunk latch  Very Rare Lake pipes. These were an original option in 1964 and I added them in 2018. These pipes make this car very special and different from all the other Galaxies out there. In the early 60s the Ford Galaxie line dominated the car world. The 1964 Galaxie received two important recognitions. It was the Motor Trend Car of the year and also the NASCAR Grand National Champion. I get a lot of attention with this car and I often win awards. I have received two Best in Show awards. Needless to say, I’m very proud to own BLU-BIRD.
Marc’s 1976 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham 60 Special

William’s 2010 Ford Fusion Sport
As my hyway cruiser Ive kept it basically stock all save for the custom 1.5" lowered springs (thx Mike) with a Lincoln ride in a lowered stance this Fusion is even better on the road. 3.5 L cyclone(double overhead all aluminum sweetie) paint is a heavily modified tuxedo black which gives it a ghostly color change in a blue/ black depending on angle/lumens. Tint is a 3M agua marine that is 95% see thru from inside yet 95% mirror( at correct angle ) from outside. Its unique for sure. With traveling to southern Ontario regularly I had drilled/slotted rotors a ceramic pads installed for an amazing increase in panic stopping performance. My plan is ro find a great resto shop and have it done with that higher hp version and remove the limiter as I found out whilst following an AMG 4.3L into the city and for 45 mins ran @w.o.t 204kph!!! Its rated for 286@4200 the hp version is 400hp and keeping the AWD will make it even more fun. Ive got my eyes on a paint thats more to what I am after. Gentleman a lesson learned ... roll on hoists only because I find most dont know what a jacking point is

steve’s 1970,plymouth,road runner
I was working at a gas station back in 1977 and saw this burnt orange road runner come in.
The owner was complaining that it used to much gas,and didn't run good at all.
The car was offered to me for $1500.00 (a lot of money for a used car in 1977)
But i fell in love with the color and the look especially with those factory road wheel , Just had to have it.
It turns out the car was a 440 six pack,four speed,dana rear factory original.
I fixed every thing that was wrong with it ,nothing modified and it would beat most every car i raced.
Fast forward to 2001 I found another 70 burnt orange road runner and transformed it myself into a factory Hemi car that i had always dreamed of owning.

The drive train has been changed from a 265 ci V-8 to a Chevy 383 stroker/425 hp with coated long tube headers (nothing crazy, streetable), 1970 Chevelle 12 bolt, 355 posi rear & Muncie M-21 four speed & old school Lakewood Traction Bars. Repainted to original 612 paint code (Regal Turquoise & India Ivory) in 2010. Old school 7" X 15" chrome 5 spoke Cragars, with front Wilwood disc brake calipers & rotors.
Just got done replacing the original 66 year old 4 leaf leaf springs (a lot of fun breaking then free after 66 years) with new 4 leaf Detroit Spring leaf springs, that has it sitting & riding GREAT again.
Tom’s 62 Pontiac Grand Prix
Thanks to your rear springs I was able to achieve a nice ride height and not have that saggy rear end look. Thank-you!
Ron’s 1956 Ford Crown Victoria
Did a seven year restoration, body off the frame. Since I retired I did the body, paint,frame and engine everything but a friend rebuilt the trans. Everything is stock, engine 292, fordomatic trans and rear end. Had to lower the front it sat too high with a set of your lowering coil springs 1 1/2 drop. Now it sits right,rides better and I think looks perfect!
Gregory’s 1957 Chevrolet Apache
I purchased the vehicle in 2013 and after working on it to get it road worthy I drove it while trying to decide whether to restore it or go "restomod". Eventually I came across a great deal on a 350 crate engine with transmission and with that purchase I made my decision to have it modified with modern conveniences. The truck has a 350ci/325hp crate engine with a 700R4 tranny and 3:54 rear axle. Conveniences added are: power steering; power brakes with disc brakes on the front; Vintage A/C; Holley Sniper TBI; Mickey Thompson tires and wheels; Vintage AM/FM radio.

The front springs were not original, but I was happy to learn about Eaton Detroit Spring. I bought replacement front leaf springs, shackles, and pins, from Eaton Detroit back in June of 2020.
I've been wearing a smile since. Every cruise downtown, to the recycling center, or to the hardware store is a joy driving this old truck, finally with good spring in her step.

Rick’s 1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
Our Camaro in an ongoing project, finished but never finished and we enjoy the hobby and culture. We have began to get involved in SCCA autocross and realized quickly that suspension upgrades would make the car more competitive. I reached out to Eaton Spring and they helped to design a custom rear leaf spring keeping true to the original design of a vehicle of that era. They where able to produce a reverse eye leaf spring with custom spring rate and ride height specific to my needs. The end result was a perfect set of springs, the ride height was 1/2” higher than expected however after a couple of events and some street use the springs are settling in at the targeted ride height. A specific ride height is difficult to arrive at, even the amount of fuel or the addition of a roll bar/cage can very ride height, my experience with Eaton was perfect! Thank you Eaton!
Dale’s 1969 American Motors AMX
I bought this car in 1974, my first car. I gave it to my brother in 1980, with first dibs if he ever wanted to sell it. He rebuilt the engine and the interior. My son bought it from him about 10 yrs ago. He did body work and repainted it to the original color. Now it sits in my garage, and I get to drive it again, until I die!

John’s 1976 Ford Gran Torino
Starsky & Hutch tribute car, built from the frame up. True in every respect to the TV show car. 351w engine, .030 over, cam, Edelbrock intake and carb. Didn’t have the correct stance for a S&H car with stock rear springs, Eaton came to the rescue with a correct spring height for what I was looking for. Rides great too! Thanks Eaton for making it easy!

Christian’s 1956 Chevy Truck 3200
This was an original 1956 newspaper delivery truck from the Oakland Tribune that was given to my grandfather as a bonus in 1958. My father and his brothers all drove it in high school, as I did. After a frame up resto in 1985 and several 235 engines, I finally got it back on the road after 27 years of storage with a 350 and four on the floor. After trying several sets of front mustang 2 springs for the IFS fat-man kit, I ordered a set of springs from Eaton. The Eaton springs were perfect, whereas the other springs were cut too low. Thank you Eaton springs, the springs were perfect on the first try!!!
Chuck’s 1933 Terraplane
In 2020 a restoration shop owner friend asked for help with a 1933 Terraplane that he had taken on and found to be beyond the capabilities of his staff. I don’t even know who the car’s owner is, except that it resides in Northern California.

This car was a former museum piece; it barely ran, didn’t stop, steer or cool – virtually nothing worked. It had been restored several years prior for display purposes only. I could tell that at one time it was very attractive, and still oozed buckets of charm. It was charming until I began to discover all the quick-fix patches that had been applied to virtually every component.

I scrounged, fabricated, and substituted many parts to make the car fully operational, safe and roadworthy. The one correct new part that was readily available was a pair of badly needed rear springs. A call Eaton Detroit generated the surprising response “Yes, I am pretty sure that I have the original drawings for that spring, let me call you back.” The return call confirmed that indeed the specifications were on-hand and there was no need to provide the old spring as a pattern. This is exceptional service, the price was very fair, and delivery was timely. I have been a promoter of Eaton Detroit Springs ever since.

Pat’s 1963 Ford F100
My 1963 f100. Originally owned by my parents . I bought it from them in 1979. In bad need of a restoration ! Worked on it through hi school , and got her looking good. Driven all through college and around 1985, lost a master cylinder, and could find the replacement . Fast forward 40 years, wife kids , career , and just life in general, started the 3rd frame off restoration with the excellent help of Detroit Spring. All new springs and complete resto took about 20 month. All the work done in my shop by myself. Mechanical , floorboard , and body and paint. Looking like a million bucks. She’s going back to work pulling my 1964 F100 pro street to the track.
William’s 1963 Studebaker Avanti
Bought sight unseen after a no sale on eBay, my Avanti is - as I call it - a maintained original. Yes, it's a 20-footer and I think it's a great ride. R4314 is an R1, meaning it's a naturally aspirated Studebaker 289-4v (the R2 motor was Supercharged). Built with a rare 3-speed tyranny, a/c and p/s and power brakes, it only goes to car shows where it's driven; no Trailer Queen this one.

Mike’s 1940 Chevrolet Master Deluxe business coupe
Rear leaf springs replaced after 80 years. Eaton moved the axle pin 2” aft to center the rear in the fender openings. I have owned this “high school” car since 1959. Always garaged, and is rust free. Converted to a V8 in 1961. Many transmissions, engines, and rear ends later, it now is a stock 350/350 with vintage air. The car still retains the stock suspension and steering, and drives surprisingly well.

Victoria’s 1968 Ford Mustang
We spent two years restoring our pony. It turns out the final - and best - upgrade we did to this car was to stop at the NPD booth during their Mustang Rally and speak with a gentleman about the springs for our car. Turns out, we spoke with the owner of the company who very graciously advised us to call the company in the morning and speak with Kim. Kim was a delight - very helpful and knowledgeable. She assisted us in ordering the correct ride height for our car. We absolutely love the results! The car is responsive, corners like it's on rails, and no longer bottoms out over a railroad track. Thank you, Eaton Springs! Our car is better than ever!

Kathleen’s 1963 Mercury Meteor
I was cruising Kijiji ads for a classic car, when I came across one for a 1963 Mercury Meteor, 4 door, small block V8. The body was near mint, according to the ad, and that’s hard to find. The car was posted by a fellow in Calgary, who bought it from a friend in Southern BC, for his son, who later decided he wanted something else. My husband and I contacted him and set up a date that we could drive down from Edmonton to look at it - that was this past April 1st. It truly was a great find, exactly what was advertised. I bought it, and we trailed it home 2 weeks later. Being an out of province vehicle, it had to be inspected-no problem, it’s a great vehicle right? We took it to a local auto shop to have it inspected and it didn’t pass. The leaf springs had to be replaced. Well, Edmonton has lots of business that do springs but we soon found out non of them could manufacture ones for the 63! Either I find springs or I bought myself a beautiful lawn ornament. Stressed to the max I turned to a google search, and thank god “EATON Detroit” came up. With nothing to loose I phoned and and Mike answered. We chatted briefly and to my instant relief, my problem was solved. What a great guy, personable, professional and knowledgeable. We had struck a deal, a price and a timeframe for delivery. We received email updates along the manufacturing process, which to me exceeded any expectations. The leaf springs arrived ahead of the initial date given and I was able to have them installed promptly. Thank you Mike, thank you EATON Detroit Spring Inc., and kudos to my husband Clarence, and our awesome mechanic friend Ken Tomkins, for installing springs & getting this car on the road. There is a significant difference in the ride - greatly improved! I highly recommend this company and have bragged it up to many, as one should do with such a great outcome. I have put some miles on the car now, and the car is riding so smoothly. Those leaf springs are working wonderfully. I am truly satisfied with the work that your company did for me.

Long story short? Bought in 1995 for $6500.00 in great shape but in need of a restoration. Knowing it would be going down for a full restore soon. I Beat on it real good for about 3 years with a 383 in it. Acquired a 1965 440 motor out of a C Body. Strapped it down to a pallet and sent it up to Hensley Performance in Knoxville TN. Then spent many many hours on it to make it look like it does now. Not for everyone? but,,,,, I built it for ME.
John’s 1965 Ford F100

Craig’s 1966 Mustang
The classic Mustang is popular and many people own them. My story is simple. This car was my dad's . 1966 Mustang. He bought it in 1969 from a work friend. He used it for work and when retired in Florida we used it going to the beach etc. My dad passed too early (1992). I brought the car back and 7 years ago had it restored. The person who restored it was going through a depression and he said the work helped him cope. We remain friends to this day. Nothing but good came from this car. A memory of dad and a friendship with the guy who restored the car to this day!

Jack’s Ford Falcon
Lets, start out with where the Falcon is on the numbers game:According to HAGERTY insurance, the 1967 Ford Falcon Sport Coupe with a 289 and bucket seats(a rare option) would bring 18,000,to 21,000 in Number 2 condition..I, will say my car is a high 2. A, 2 car, should be able out of the box, to win awards in local shows, magazine potential, show little wear, paint in excellent to very good condition. From the start the car was that way..I'm, just the 3nd owner of the car, the 2nd owner only had it 3 weeks ,and had a very expensive SONNY LEONARD pro mod engine show up ,and needed the money to pay for it. The car was shipped cross country in a covered trailer...the paint was out of this world, the full original interior was just unreal...chrome etc..I bought the car sight unseen...but had hundreds of pictures sent to me for inspection. I bought it based on his wife's statement...the original owner told them, "DONT GET OUR BABY WET" we never got it wet when we owned it. I, screwed up and got caught in a rain storm...the wipers failed...I,never fixed them as a reason not to get it wet either. There is now major mods to the car from front to back...the 289 radiator, is still there ,but with the support of a water pump from AUSTRAILA..it is able to super cool this car sitting in front of a PAXTON SUPERCHARGED, DSS RACING 410 CI.SBF...Pushing near 500 RWHP...467 LBS of torque at 5800 RPMS (ALL MONEY CLAIMS SUPPORTED BY RECIEPTS) 12, 846.00 it was a turn key carb engine ,which I later bought the supercharger,got COMP CAMS ..to custom grind a blower cam. New Hooker headers ,a 1000.00 spent on a AEROMOTIVE FUEL system ...pump, filter, regulator. from the Hookers back...are 40 MUFFLERS to chrome tips. Oh yeah....1200.00 in a front end rebuild....WILWOOD BRAKES.. The car has been 100 percent rewired by a real pro...a RON FRANCIS wire harness,was installed. A .NEW TCI 'STREET FIGHTER C6,and convertor went in with the new engine. GOD. I must be forgetting something...just over 78, 000 original miles...at leas 35 show awards ranging from BEST FALCON BEST FORD BEST MUSCLE CAR....RUNNER UP IN CLASS ..in the PORTLAND ROADSTER SHOW..2006 ISSUE OF LEGENDARY FORD MAGAZINE...cover and feature story. Last, this year 10,000 dollars in parts and labor to install a complete ART MORRISON 4 LINK- COIL OVER SHOCK STRANGE ENG.FORD 9 INCH WITH 35 SPLINE AXLES ,WILWORD REAR BRAKES. It will kill me to sell it...but a serious health issue has mandated it.

Giorgio’s 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado
I got this car in 1968 and drove it since. After a change of the cylinder head after 150'00 km, the engine had a discontinued acceleration. It took me about 2 years of checks and adjustments until I found a team of mechanics who wanted to find out where the trouble was, on free weekend work. They found out by comparing the numbers, that there was a wrong carburetor mounted (mistakenly exchanged with a similar model by the cylinder head repair). After mounting a new carburetor, the car ran well again. The front brakes have been modified to disc brakes because the heavy car did not beak enough. Several times the body has been repaired from rust. Now I have a stainless steel exhaust. As a veteran, I use the car only on nice days.
D’s 1957 Ford Thunderbird
Ebay purchase, March 12, 2007. We found the performance aged less gracefully than the styling. So, we updated it to quicken response without arousing suspicion: 462ci FE, AOD, 3.50:1 Eaton Truetrac in the 9", Front Disc Brakes, Rack & Pinion Steering, Leather Seat, etc. The exterior just got a wax job. We drive the wheels off it!
Mike’s 1970 Pontiac Trans Am
After having quite a few Pontiac Trans Ams in my younger years and both my girls out of college and onto their careers I decided I wanted to get another Pontiac Trans Am. My very first one when I was 19 years old was a 1971 455 HO 4-speed car, so I knew of a friend that had a 1970 Trans Am but had no intentions of selling it...Well after a few persistent phone calls he decided to let me take possession. I decided I wanted to personalize it and since the original engine was long gone due to a piece of the connecting rod lying on the transmission crossmember, as I was told, I decided to have a 1970 POntiac 455 HO block 4-bolt main built into a 465 C.I. I added Eagle Connecting rods with D.S.S. dished pistons to give a 10.6 compression ration with the Edelbrock 72 cc cylinder heads, added a Crane hydraulic roller camshaft and top it with an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and a PRO Systems 750 Carburetor , It ended up being 490 H.P and 551 Lb. Ft. of torque. I backed up the engine with a Centerforce clutch setup and an Auto gear M22Z 4-speed Transmission and a 3.55 12 bolt posi rear axle. I'm running M/T street radial tires on Weld Draglite rims.. It's a nice easy to drive on pump gas combination with plenty of torque!!
Jeff’s 1967 Ford Fairlane Station Wagon
1967 Ford Fairlane Station Wagon brought home to New Hampshire from Nova Scotia in October of 2023. 77K miles on the original 289 motor and Ford Cruise O Matic transmission.

I spent most of that winter wrenching on the car to turn it back into a safe family cruiser (countless mice chewed wire repairs, new fuel tank, bench seat, LED lighting, full suspension) along with a few performance goodies (headers, 4 barrel carb/intake, dual exhaust, disc brakes, and a 3.55 limited slip rear). She's been all over the local car show circuit and even made an appearance at the Carlisle Ford Nationals in 2024 where she won 3 awards.

The car turns heads wherever she goes, and just about everyone has a wagon story about the back seat and the Magic Tail Gate. Thanks to Eaton for help on the rear leaf springs!

Sam’s 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS
Sam Beck is the second owner of this beautiful 1964 Impala SS. It was purchased by Sam's Dad, Paul, in 1990 from the original owner who was 92 years old and had just quit driving. After a partial restoration and going through everything Paul awarded this honey of a car to Sam on his 21st birthday! Eaton supplied the rear coil springs for this restoration. In this picture Sam is driving and Paul tagging along at a Whiting, Indiana Cruise Night in 2016.

45,000 miles on odometer but 53 years old so I decided new leaf springs would be good idea. In talking with Gary, ordered the HD springs. BIG improvement in ride quality. When time came to rebuild front suspension I ordered a set of coils. Money well spent!

Larry’s 1955 DeSoto Firedome Sportsman
My uncle bought this car new, then sold it to another uncle, it was sold to my brother and I bought it from him, it set for about 30 years till I pulled it from the weeds and started on it, after 6 years, I drove it again and have put over 8 thousand miles on it, It has won many first places at car shows in the under-construction class, I recently purchased new rear spring from you and what a difference it made, I no longer have to keep the air shocks up, and it doesn't hit the bump stops going down the road, the old springs were actually arched downward.

429 Cobra Jet 4 Speed numbers matching car. Previous owner added a leaf to the rear springs. They cut the center bolt hole and the length of the leaf with a torch. Then added air shocks apparently because the added leaf didn't help. I ordered Detroit Spring Leaf Springs with a 1" drop. The stance is perfect!

My car is a replica of the five original Studebaker cars that raced at Indianapolis in 1932. It was built from scratch over a 12 year period using major mechanical components from Studebaker cars from 1928-1937. Springs were from Eaton Detroit using dimensions from one of the original cars.

Bill’s 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible
I began with a restoration project that was barely started by previous owner; he had cancer and passed before finishing the car. So far I’ve completed body work, paint, transmission and differential rebuilds, electrical, interior/top, and engine refresh. Currently finishing up the suspension work. OEM mono-leafs were worn out and car sagged to the point wheels were scrubbing inner wells. A new set of Eaton 4-leafs and she’s riding high again! And I got my new shocks from Eaton as well.
Mark’s 1969 Ford Fairlane
I purchased my 1969 Ford Fairlane form Dayton Ohio back in 2019. I do a little to it every year to keep it looking nice and upgrading it. This year I installed a set of Eaton-Detroit leaf springs and WOW do I love the new stance. I very happy I went with your product worth every penny. and the support from the ordering process to the updates of what stage the springs are in during fabrication is awesome. Plus, the tech videos helped with the install process. Thanks Eaton-Detroit spring!

Found this a little over two years ago. Interior has been redone. One repaint @ 1990, or so I was told. 276 Hemi engine is all original and this car still has the factory cloth covered wiring. It's not perfect by any means, but as you can see it's a pretty nice cruiser. Replaced both rear springs thanks to your company.

Purchased this Camaro in 1995 and completed a 5-year concours level restoration. Honored to score 973/1000 point Gold Award at the 2000 Camaro Nationals. It’s hard to believe I have owned this car for 28 years, but I drive and enjoy this car!

Alan’s 1968 Chevy Camaro Convertible SS Tribute
Originally this was a stock 327, 2 bbl, Powerglide, with a 3:08 rear-end. I wanted a bit more muscle and to turn this into something much more to look at. Therefore I went with a 350 ci Blueprint engine, bored 0.40"; 400 hp; 4L60e transmission; 600 cfm Edlebrock Performer carb and Performer intake; power front disc brakes; champion 3 core radiator; Patriot mid-length headers; and finished it off with a March serpentine belt system.
