In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces. From his very first car, a 1967 Chevelle station wagon “family heirloom,” to his world-famous upside-down Camaro and amphibious helicopter race car, SpeedyCop shares the craftsmanship skills and creative spark behind each build.
Whether you’re into car restoration, classic cars, or simply love a good car story, you’ll be inspired by how an overactive imagination and a love for vintage lifestyle vehicles can transform rusting hulks into beloved cars that melt faces at every show.
What happens when creativity, mechanical genius, and a self-described "extreme case of ADHD" combine? You get Speedy Cop, the automotive artist turning junkyard scraps into viral sensations that literally stop traffic and "melt faces" across the globe.
In this captivating episode, we dive deep with Jeff Bloch, better known as SpeedyCop, who reveals the origins of his extraordinary talent for transforming discarded vehicles into jaw-dropping masterpieces. Jeff shares how his creative journey began with a family heirloom—a 1967 Chevelle station wagon with holes so large "you could literally reach inside the vehicle from outside and wave your hand around." From these humble beginnings fixing his grandmother's car with chicken wire and Bondo, Jeff developed a philosophy of "repurpose, recycle, and reuse" that would define his career.
The conversation takes us through Jeff's greatest hits: the world-famous upside-down Camaro that's still running 11 years after being built in three weeks in his driveway; the "Spirit of Lemons" street-legal airplane car made from an abandoned 1956 Cessna 310 that runs 12-second quarter miles; and the sideways Volkswagen camper that generated over 156 million views online. With each story, Jeff reveals the thinking process behind these seemingly impossible creations, giving listeners unprecedented insight into where creative ideas truly originate.
Perhaps most fascinating is Jeff's revelation that his extraordinary creativity comes without chemical enhancement—"I've never done drugs in my entire life"—but rather from what he calls a "God-given overactive imagination" coupled with his ADHD. Now retired after 27 years in law enforcement, Jeff's creative output is accelerating at his 20-acre mountaintop property in Tennessee, where he has "several lifetimes worth of projects" waiting to be built.In this auto-adventure-packed episode of To All The Cars I’ve Loved Before, hosts Christian and Doug welcome SpeedyCop (Jeff Bloch)—YouTube/TikTok sensation, retired cop, and master of turning junkyard cast-offs into rolling masterpieces.

In this episode, we shift gears into the past with author Robert O’Connor, whose novel “Jeep Show” blends WWII history with personal car memories. Robert discusses the real-life inspiration behind his book: the wartime USO entertainers who performed from Jeeps for troops at the front lines.
He connects these historic Jeep Shows to his own first car – a scrappy Fiat 128 – sharing how tinkering with that little European car gave him an appreciation for simplicity much like the wartime Jeep. As an Iraq War veteran, Robert also opens up about how working on a vintage Willys Jeep helped him cope with returning to civilian life, each turn of the wrench providing therapy and connection to his grandfather’s WWII stories. Listeners will enjoy rich car culture discussions as Robert and the hosts chat about how military vehicles influenced post-war automotive design and the enduring appeal of Jeeps in car enthusiast circles. Wrapping up, Robert highlights the charitable cause behind his work (proceeds of his book support veteran wellness programs.
This episode blends literary insight, heartfelt nostalgia, and automotive history, offering a unique perspective on how vehicles and storytelling can preserve the legacy of “the greatest generation” and inspire healing across generations of car lovers.

This episode is a love letter to automotive history: Andrew shares how a humble $100 Volkswagen Beetle became his first car (and first restoration project), sparking a life of travel to find the world’s most interesting cars. We journey with him to the former East Germany through tales of rescuing a smoky two-stroke Trabant, then zip to the USA to hear about tracking down a rare 1948 Tucker (Chassis # Tucker 48) that fueled his imagination. Christian and Doug add rich context as they discuss visiting the Tallahassee Auto Museum and Hershey AACA Museum with Andrew, unearthing gems like minimalist ’49 Chevy coupes and witnessing a one-of-a-kind Tucker Torpedo up close.

Guinevere, co-owner of Freccia Brothers Garage, invites us into a world of vintage Volkswagen magic and the family memories made along the way. She starts by introducing “Lily,” her cherished 1963 VW Beetle, and “Gadget,” a 1987 Cabriolet – both members of her family in their own right. As she recounts her first car (a Tropicana Orange Karmann Ghia handed down from her dad), listeners are treated to a warm story of how classic cars can bond generations. Guinevere shares practical restoration stories from her Greenwich, CT shop: reviving a flood-damaged dune buggy, sourcing parts for a rare VW Type 3, and even doing a father-daughter project replacing a Beetle’s convertible top.
Each tale highlights craftsmanship and a touch of old-school ingenuity, like using century-old techniques to straighten a frame or preserving carbon-copy service records from the ’60s. Beyond the technical, this episode shines with heart – Guinevere speaks on hosting community “VW days” where enthusiasts swap stories and kids learn to wrench on air-cooled engines, keeping automotive culture alive.
