Our legacy of speed
Welcome to Keavin's Speed Shop, where our passion for classic cars drives everything we do. Learn about our journey, our commitment to excellence, and the dedicated team ready to bring your vintage vehicle dreams to life. We're more than mechanics; we're enthusiasts preserving automotive history, one legendary ride at a time.
Our journey began on the track
Our journey began with a love for speed and the thrill of NHRA competition. As professional racers, Dustin and Terry (nicknamed Chuck) spent years chasing victory and pushing boundaries on famous tracks across the country as members of a world championship team. Indianapolis, IN became our second home—a place where our skills were honed, friendships forged, and dreams realized at the highest level of motorsports.
No matter how far the NHRA circuit took us, Omaha was always our home and in our hearts. After one of our countless laps and unforgettable seasons, one of our sponsors mentioned that he owned a vintage building in Omaha and what would we think of starting a speed shop.
That sponsor was Sean Kimble and he and Dustin started the Omaha Speed Shop in May 2022. Once the foundation was set, Chuck joined the team and then soon afterwards Joe joined the team. For the past three years, we established the Omaha Speed Shop as the region's premier vintage automotive repair shop. We are all thankful for the past three years and for everything we learned, but now we have the opportunity to forge a new beginning on our own.
Each of us bring a unique skill set to the team and together we can tackle any vintage automobile project. From simple to complex, from maintenance to rebuilding. We got you!
The old school difference
At Keavin's Speed Shop, we specialize exclusively in pre-1975 cars, trucks, and SUVs. Our mission is to keep these magnificent machines running as flawlessly as they did off the assembly line, or to integrate performance upgrades that guarantee unforgettable burnouts. What sets us apart is our collaborative approach. We love to sit down with you and meticulously plan a "road map" for your vehicle, ensuring it becomes the ride you truly deserve. We don't just bolt on parts, we delve into your entire vision, working backward from your ultimate goal to guide you through each step of the process. Whether it's expertly rebuilding blowers and rear ends for enhanced performance, or meticulously restoring a unique carburetor for that numbers-matching classic, we are dedicated to achieving your desired outcome.
Passion projects & unique challenges
Every project that rolls into Keavin's Speed Shop brings its own unique set of challenges, and that's precisely what excites us. From tracking down elusive Cadillac parts on the East Coast to sourcing original Camaro carburetor components from Southern California, no two endeavors are ever the same. We are relentlessly dedicated to finding solutions to any problem you might encounter. Our extensive network and forged friendships across the country are invaluable in sourcing rare and unique parts. While we are incredibly fortunate to do what we love – working on these iconic cars – it's the rich stories and the passionate people behind these vehicles that bring us just as much reward as helping to keep these classics roaring down the road.
