- In this video you’ll get a look inside the Speedway Motors museum. This three story museum has something to offer for every car enthusiast. From NASCAR to classic cars to vintage drag cars, this place has got it all. You’ll also find some very low production cars as well as super rare V8s that I guarantee you’ve never seen before. The room dedicated to the Ford V8 flathead is an eye opener!!
This video won’t disappoint.

Forever silenced...... The real pity is that all these automotive engineering marvels will never make noise again. I'm in my 70's and can remember the sights, sounds, and smells of some of these beautiful works of art as they were driven and raced. All for naught. Now sequestered in a museum, like arrowheads, coins, and other trinkets from bygone civilizations, few will miss their grandeur, but those of us that do....weep......
I weep with you, for all the wonders and sights, sounds and smells that I'll never get to experience! I was born 10-20 years too late, seeing the things in that museum, I see the 60's, 70's and 80's were some of THE MOST INCREDIBLE Years of invention and innovation for the internal combustion engine! I could live in that Museum for years and still have not had enough time for my curiosity to wander through and see EACH and EVERY one of those incredible Engines!! Belt driven Direct-Fuel injection?!? Single and dual overhead cam?!? A Guy that designed & Built an overhead cam SBC HIMSELF for a dirt track race car?!?! And people these days can't hardly screw in a lightbulb or put together a piece of freaking furniture from IKEA, WITH DIRECTIONS! 🤣🤣🤣 I believe there IS NO School like the Old School!!!
70 yrs here and building my last hotrod going old school Big Block Chevy 540 with a intercooler 10-71 with carbs. Staying with what I know and the music Hooker Super Comp headers make ! Hard to believe BBC is like flat head Ford motors was to us dieing out on the street. I will be driving this ride to Kroger for groceries every week. Figure this one may out last me. Took 11 months to get parts with all billet and forged plus Teflon strip seal in the billet blower. Figure if government wants to mess with our gas and freedom then I can always make my own alcohol and keep driving maybe even with less people on the road.....lol. Got a barn full of corn just in case!!! Hotrods forever and as we say on the south..."the government can kiss our grits" !!! Just little sad for the youth will miss what we enjoyed. Like drive in theaters, real food when beef was meat and you could buy 115 octane down the street.
What are you talking about old man? Hot Rodding is alive and well, they'll never silence us.
@@woopyass Great to hear !!!!
@@stephenmitchell3569 I'm still tinkering with a pet project. A '71 International Harvester 1210 3/4 ton pickup. Long bed, step side, standard cab....just like stock. What isn't stock is the '71 Lincoln MkIII 460 and C-6 that's between the frame rails. 10.5 to 1 compression(stock), Holley EFI on a remade Weiand manifold with port injection, Hedman headers with a single O2 sensor on each side, Comp Cams mild(sic!) cam, mildly ported heads, Accel ignition, Dodge Dana 70 rear end with 4.10 gears, etc, etc.... Still working on stopping the thing! Having to make up custom disc brake stuff to fit the IH i-beam front suspension. Looking at Dodge 13 inch rotors with Chevy calipers...but.... I'm soon to be 71, just hope I last long enough to drive it...!
A Quick stop at the engines to show the sign of what each engine is can be very helpful in the future and not take up too much more time. Then we can pause the video and read about each engine that interests us. Just a suggestion. Thanks for taking us along! Tons of history there! Thanks! Zip~
Hey Zip, thanks for watching. Don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin!
This is mind blowing. The amount of time and resources that went into creating this masterpiece is mind bowling.
The engine you discribed as a 4 cylinder of some kind as you strolled by was a legendary Offenhauser. Plenty of them in the Indy room too.
I never knew Speedway had a museum. Bill Smith did more that I ever suspected. Thank you for uploading the video. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it makes me want to take a trip to take a road trip to Nebraska.
Hey Paul. Thanks for the encouraging comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Definitely worth the trip.
Please subscribe. A lot more videos comin.
Nothing sounds better than a nice tight set of straight pipes, exhausting a blueprinted and balanced Ford flathead.
I owned a 1970 Torino Cobra, 429 SCJ, DRAG PACK, & THE SOUND OF THE EXHAUST at idle..much like a Classic Chris Craft motor boat. I appreciate your video, and was well done. Thanks for sharing this amazing museum,s collection. It's amazing what a guy with a standard wrench set, a couple of screw drivers, crescent wrench, vice grips, a welder, and a air compressor was able to create back in the day.
Yeah Richard, thanks for the comment. I bet that Torino was pretty sweet!!
"4 cylinder of some type"? Son your standing in the midst of greatness in the world of American motorsports!
Yep, but no one knows everything.
And thank you for calling me “son”. Made me feel young again 😁
An amazing video!!! This is a place that until now, I have never heard of... Extremely nostalgic and very well presented... Really rare and artistic things there...

Definitely a cool experience. Awesome video!
Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it.
Amazing video .I did not know this place existed another place to visit before i go !
Thanks Andrew. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
That Plymouth sprint motor with the strange looking heads probably worked pretty nice over a stock head of the time as they were designed to straiten the intake port so the motor could breath better at high RPMs.
Very interesting. Thanks for the comment Mr Gixxer
Awesome! Thanks!
Thanks Bob. There’s more video comin!!
I've been to " Gars" museum in Ocala, this Speedway museum is now on my list. 👏
If ya get a chance to see this one Billy, don’t pass it up. It’s amazing!!
A big thanks to Speedy Bill, for being such a gear head. RIP

Real Interesting, thankyou
Thanks Mark. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I made the visit to this museum August last year(2022) flying up from down under(New Zealand) I was stunned at the quality and size, the Miller section was awsum so was the wall of ford flathead intakes, I'm coming back again this year as was only open 4 hours per day and needed more time.
I know what you mean. We went on a Saturday and they weren’t open very long. We actually didn’t get to see it all because they kicked us out because they were closing. I’m going to have to go back myself to finish.
Subscriber number 310 checking in. Good luck building your following.
Awesome John. I’ll do my best to not disappoint. 👍
"Decapitation vehicles" 😆 I'll have to borrow that one
To race those jalopees, you needed a pair that Clank , , and a fast flying guardian angel, and goggles for sure,
Awesome tour of the museum. Been there but they have added a lot of race cars on the main floor.
Thanks for the positive comment Ron. Glad you enjoyed it. Don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin.
That place is amazing in what they have.
Priceless 😀
Thanks Kenneth
Lived in Lincoln Nb. 1965. Speedy Bill always had good stuff. RIP.
Yes he did!
Flat 8 boxer engine? Whoa, that's pretty neat. I got confused when you said an opposed V8.
Watching from the State of Rhode Island-never owned anything earlier than a '66-but fun, interesting post & important reminder that for a long time-flatheads ruled the world- many thanks-PEACE-BRO! 😊
Seeing all those flatheads in one room was amazing. Thanks for the comment. Don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos coming.
Thx 4 the vidio 👍
Hey Mike, thanks for the comment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video.
Heard of the legend from Dale Witch,RIP, at one of our company meetings.

Thanks for the great video man is a lot of cool Motors and cars when I was a kid in the 60s my neighbor had a 63 and a half Galaxy Factory lightweight427 side hauler dual quad to upload a four-speed locker rear end what a fast car that was he repainted it and he said to the front fenders with 4000 Grit and clear them and left aluminum shine it was great a great memories riding in that car took the great lakes dragaway and raced it a lot I always wondered whatever happened to that car got to be ultra rare he also had a 60 Pontiac Ventura he built into a drag car yeah 421 Super Duty that's cool cartoon he was a fabricator have a great day thanks for the video
Sounds like a cool car!
"Down in his barn
My uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years
To keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris
That hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta
From a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine
Responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel
I commit my weekly crime."
~G. Lee, Rush
Red Barchetta
The car at 18:31 is cam grinder Ed Iskinderian's famous "Gow Job" as he called it from the 1940's. Ed is still with us at over 100 years old...! It has a very interesting set of cylinder heads, probably one of a kind with exhaust valves still in the block but intake valves overhead.
Funny you mention this, I just watched a video of an interview with Ed. He explained how he got started. Very interesting. Thanks for the comment Thomas.
@@MidwestCarLife~ What seems odd to me about those cylinder heads is that the fabricator, possibly Ed himself chose to leave the exhaust valves in the block when it is the constricted exhaust savaging properties of Henry's design that limits it's potential. That is why you cannot drive a Ford V-8 flathead on the later to come Interstate Highway system that it was never designed for, it will overheat every time. In the late 1940's Zora Arkus Duntov, later of Corvette fame came up with a much better OHV conversion design for the ford block that is still available commercially. Don Garlits speculates that MoPar's R&D in the early 1950's likely "stole" Duntov's design for their magnificent "Hemi" because he notes that the intake manifold bolt pattern of the "Ardun" (Duntov's design) and MoPar's 1953 Hemi is a match. But the flathead block has only three main bearings and the Chrysler Hemi, five. Iskenderian's "Gow Job" goes to show that REAL Hot Rods" always have a story to tell...
@@ThomasDeLello Wow, that’s some awesome info Thomas. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Halabrand, Edelbrock. Tracy Engeneering, first 10,000 RPM Small Block Chevy V8. More probably, Shelby was in Venice, Andy Granitelli had a shop in Santa Monica and Venice.
I grew up in Culver City so we had several manufacturers nearby. We had Isky, Doug's Headers and Hedman Headers,
Good Job
Thanks Jim. I really appreciate the encouragement. There’s going to be many more videos coming so don’t forget to subscribe.
I Love Fords. I have always woundered why they haven't made more interchangeable stuff.
I have a 2022 Speedway catalog. In it they have listed for a 49-53 Ford /Mercury Flathead V-8. The price in 2022 was $ 1074.00. In 2023 just one year later when you go to their web site the Exact same parts are listed for $ 1785.99. Over a $700.00 dollar jump. What the heck.
Wow! That’s crazy!!
I’m guessing you’re not getting a flathead anytime soon then. Lol
Thanks for the comment lilorbie.
Don’t forget to subscribe.
@@MidwestCarLife Oh I already have a flathead v-8. I'm just not gonna get the cyl. heads from Speedway.
My stepdad had a 40s Ford pickup can't remember what year had to be one of the last 49? Many years ago But open the hood original flathead V8 don't know much about them . But Id look at that engine for an hour 😊
Flatheads are very cool. Thanks for watching.
What a fabulous museum - and video. By the way the Ardun at 18:20 doesn't almost look like a little hemi - it is a little hemi (and predated anything similar made by Chrysler)
Thanks Simon. I’m glad you enjoy it. Please subscribe. A lot more videos comin.
Did not some US states have wierd ideas about headlights and the center Tucker would probably been illegal?
I’m not sure. Something I might have to look up.
@@MidwestCarLife I said that on the basis that Mercedes had to change headlights to round ones on some models years ago.
Dag, now I have to take a trip to Nebraska! AWESOME Museum, Indeed ! BTW It's a Buick Nailhead Not A Pontiac ! ...Newk from Kentucky
Yeah, I know Buick made the nailhead. Not sure why I said Pontiac. Oh well. There’s a bunch of mistakes in my first video too. Don’t worry, my videos will only improve and there’s a lot more coming too. So don’t forget to subscribe. Thanks for the comment Tim.
As he casually says "Typical small block Chevy" Lol
What are those bits in front of the water pump? 8:50
So, the museum misspelled "vane" as "vein" on their sign at 29:56 lol.
looks like E J Potter's V8 drag bike
14:26 - 8 cylinder boat anchor.
Ok, thanks
Wow, thanks for the video. I never heard of this museum. The only Speadway museum I knew was in Indy. You need to hammer viewers about subscribing because you have 28,000 views and only 343 subscribers unless this is wrong.
Yeah my subscribers are low I think because people see I only have 4 videos out. I’ve only had this channel for two weeks now. That being said, having a video at 28k views is mind blowing to me. A person needs 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours to get monetized. For a lot of channels, this has taken them a year or more. I got 4k watch hours in 2 weeks!!!! I’m so thankful and grateful to everyone that has viewed my videos.
@@MidwestCarLife I guess youtube sent your site to my feed and that is how I saw it. Keep it up and the only constructive criticism I have is, tell us the history behind the museum and why the person started it but I will put this on my bucket list because the engines are so special to a one time mechanic like me. I haven't seen a museum that had so many engines on display but the cars are great too. I am now a subscriber and keep up the good work.
Dick Landy the Father of the Funny Car. Landy's Funnies. Both axles were moved as far forward as possible giving the "Funny Car" look. This was done to help with traction on the starting line.
Awesome!!! Thanks Marlo
A 5-minute intro side of a road beside a river you're supposed to be in a museum wif
you could have taken a quick shot of the plaques and we might have froze it so we could read the descriptions.Other than that nice video and presentation.Thanks.
Yeah, I actually thought of that. Wish I would have. Thanks for the comment Ted. Don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin.
Hey Jim......you need to do a cross Canada road trip when it's done ......top gear style....... you ..chad.....and the English guy with all the British cars.....( I forgot his name).......can you imagen it...🤣
Stack injection makes everything more sexy , especially an inline engine.
There’s so many cool things there, my head was spinning!!
Wow, Louis Chevrolet original race car.
With the cost of these automobiles at $5,000 per, one BENTLEY today would be more than all of Tucker’s production.
Go back and redo the video but with a closeup and pause so we can read the info of each engine
What is a Pontiac nailhead
I meant Buick
Where is it at?
Lincoln Nebraska
I wish you would've explained what the engines were
You could tell a happy driver from the bugs in his teeth, lol
Buicks were the nail heads, not Pontiacs.
Yep, I’ve gotten many comments about this now. I knew that, just miss spoke. Thanks for watchin David, don’t forget to subscribe. A lot more videos comin.
Do you live around Omaha?
Hey Robert. No, I live in southern Minnesota. This was a stop on the way to Colorado for a vacation.
Oldsmobile didn't make available head only buick
I see a Tucker
The cars have engines. Motors are driven by an outside source (like electricity).
I buy alot of stuff from Speedway. i have a 40 Ford deluxe coupe with a 460 BB with all the toys. Its a beast. tubed, . At 75 yrs old i still get under it to make repairs . i run the biggest MT street tire available, now Hooziers at 650 a piece. No more launching. tired of buying these monsters.
Boys and their toys… boys might get older, but they’ll still have their toys… bigger toys… and WAY more expensive ones!! Lol
Thanks for watchin Bruce, hope you enjoyed it.
L
Lose the intro!! Go straight to the museum!! who wants to watch snow on the ground??
Well, this video has only been posted for about a month now and has over 49k views… I think I did alright!
I didn’t subscribe, BECAUSE, you didn’t talk about the cars, engines, etc., when in the front part of your vlog. Hell yes, there is a lot of goodies, etc, but, they have names, tell usnwhatnyoubsee, by names, if you don’t know what they are, get some books, read, research. I recognized some flatties, some Offys, Allison’s, etc. I lost interest in,less than ten minutes.
