The Largest Privately Owned Speed Shop in Michigan

Come with us and take a tour of Leonard's Speed Shop! This building looks unassuming at first but hides tons of history and car parts inside. Leonard has a short time before he has to move out, if you are interested in anything feel free to reach out to Leonard. Please be respectful to him and his shop. We are thankful to Leonard for inviting us out!

[@HotRodsHistory]

If anyone would like to reach out to Leonard you can contact him at 269-967-7010. Please be respectful and thanks for watching!

[@abbeylabrecque351]

No problem, am trying to steer people to the right number. Have already gotten 5 voicemails. Hopefully they’re able to reach him

[@daleolson3506]

What a find can’t imagine how much money is there in inventory. Wow

[@vehdynam]

Unbelievable ! So much wonderful inventory.

[@brianhiggins4832]

Reminds me of a starter generator rebuilder near my home, just a path thru piles and piles of old starters, generators, alternators etc, not a flat level surface anyplace, you can walk in and ask for literally anything and he will go to a pile stick his hand in it and pull out exactly what you asked for, he knos where everything is in what appears to be an absolute mess to anyone else

[@midwestlee-iw8nl]

Leonard for president

[@troy7124]

Been there many times, there isn't anything you can't find there. This place isn't the only one in this area. You would have to live here to know where they're at

[@rzeric]

Al Maynard had a hell of a collection here in MI when he passed. They had a huge auction

[@cjtroutt8092]

My Uncle Al shure Did he gave me an old square body chevy short box that I still have today and redoing with 496. Where he went with his the old Suburban to.

[@user-hb8lx7sw1d]

very cool! Leonard for President

[@dadsrock4252]

Thank you brother .

[@justlistening9463]

Woah ! 😲 it would take a month to find a complete motor in there. a Hot rod picker dream spot no doubt 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒 omg .

[@VerifiedVIPMember]

Man, it would take years and years to inventory that stuff and list it on eBay.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Enjoyed!!!!! 🤜🤛

[@vsavage_old_rockerz]

4 bolt collector headers are neat!!!!! those are old!!!

[@fomocopowersgarage7103]

I was there last summer and filled my trailer.

[@sherrylockhart305]

Could look in there for days , 😅

[@mrgreezy1]

There is absolutely no way there is any accuracy in knowing what is on hand and what isn’t.. the lack of organization proves it. You could employ 20 people cataloging and selling parts for years and not even scratch what’s in that building… this is just a hoarding situation absolutely. 💯 always cool to see vintage stuff tho !!!

[@WudYuRather]

Nah you ask leonard about something you need and he can easily point you too a shelf too find several of what your looking for! He used too supply like autozone and a few other parts stores back in the day.

[@jamestregler1584]

Reminds me of Mr. Jake's speed shop (long gone) in old New Orleans 😇

[@goratgo1970]

Looking for 2" primary equal length BBC headers for 70 Chevelle. NOS set of SBC hyd. lifters Buick 215 flywheel...shipping to Seattle sure to kill deal, wish I lived there! Wow, seen my Vette at the end there, well mine had white stripe down back and ZL1 horseshoe on front.

[@kipmcmillan2600]

Leonard needs Roadkill or Vice Grip Garage to visit... Help him clear some of that BEAUTIFUL inventory to people who'll use it!

[@1mikewalsh]

Yeah knock off some broken parts put back in boxes.

[@rebekahfrench5747]

Definately filled with trinkets for all the boys.. take 6 months to sort that stash..😂

[@robertahrens9481]

My kind of horder

[@scottdean4117]

Looking for a set of medium riser heads for a fe

[@HotRodsHistory]

[@dalemorales7299]

Anyone know if open to public I’m 20 min away ?

[@tonysimpkins8135]

Yeah Dale it's open just give Leonard a call I'm heading there tomorrow

[@amylarn]

Where is this located?!

[@dougyoung3896]

How ironic building a battery plant in the back yard of a speed shop .

[@tomstiel7576]

don't hold your breath on the battery plant,,,the green new deal is fizzling

[@angelicchandler8275]

Where is this place?

[@hankclingingsmith8707]

He said it 3 times

[@HotRodsHistory]

Marshall Michigan is phone number is at the end of the video

[@davidlewis2681]

Is there any MOPAR parts??

[@bluesman7475]

You mean, Are there any Mopar part?

[@jaivette]

Hoarder shop

[@roberthirshfield3571]

351 Cleveland parts ?

[@HotRodsHistory]

Yes

[@1mikewalsh]

They will be broken old and used. And yet still being a brand new box.

[@GrandPitoVic]

This is hard to see. I am kind of a history nerd you could say. I love history and hotrods. Any kind of car, i dont care. But they are pushing us out of the hotrod and racings scene. They are trying to stop it like they did back then. Except now they have more power because we let them do it to us. People will protest about stuff happening on other countries but they wont for things here that are important. People are just misguided and dont have a clue about anything. Sad to see the old shop go. Millions inventory i bet.

[@valerianrossat965]

🤤

[@sidcostello7532]

omg....I hope he finds a home...why would he sell the property.....makes no sense.

[@abbeylabrecque351]

Hello, can you please clarify the phone number at the end? I’ve been getting voicemails in response to your video trying to reach Leonard’s shop because they are reading this number wrong. The 7’s and 1’s are indistinguishable

[@HotRodsHistory]

Oh I'm so sorry my father is almost home will edit right away

[@larryalexander4833]

I hope stays in business somewhere else??

[@1mikewalsh]

Absolutely not. This guy gives hot rodders a bad name.

[@dougsspeedshop6187]

Why would he give hot rodders a bad name that's a hot rodders Paradise

[@davidh4969]

You said it best Sir, I’m here in California. The libs are destroying California as well. We need to all vote and spread the word so we can all save what we love

[@kenjidixon8130]

Phone number for Leonard's?

[@lt.columbo5919]

If Leonard doesn't sell that stuff...he is losing MILLIONS of dollars...all the Day 2 stuff for thousands of people.

[@Kingfisher2225]

What a complete disaster of a place. Cant see anybody that is so disorganized in his business being clean and organized at a build.

[@1mikewalsh]

You nailed it man.

[@tonysimpkins8135]

Dude bought a new Vette with cash, why does it need to be organized if it's working and your make bank every day I don't think it's a problem remember it keeps the price low.

[@LukasAnkney]

Been there multiple times he about knows where everything is

[@rzeric]

How in the hell can anything be ordered? Looks like a shit box to me. I say bulldoze it. Lol the battery plant for cars nobody is buying. I'm guessing this is near Marshall MI.

[@jaivette]

Hard to watch, bye

[@robertroberts2484]

Mostly garbage, typical hoarder mentality, it's all treasure 😂😂😂

[@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248]

We're is this in Michigan? Phone number please and thank you very much

[@vaughndibble4598]

Marshall mi

[@1mikewalsh]

Do not waste your time f****** with Leonard. The guy is a first-class scumbag and sell you broken parts and tell you they're new...
