Kenny Wayne Shepherd is passionate about two things: cars and guitars.
One of Shepherd's latest restoration projects is a 1970 Plymouth Duster. The Duster features a 406 cu. in. engine from Mopar Performance Parts. The vehicle features a custom two-tone paint job and custom-painted hood treatment from Ted Moser's Picture Car Warehouse. It has one-off FOOSE Nitrous II wheels, custom one-off brakes by SSBC, Hydratech brake boost system, Be Cool radiator and a Bowler Transmissions custom-built 4L60E overdrive transmission. The Duster also features Eaton drop leaf springs, headers and exhaust by TTI, Magnum Force control arms, restored original dash pad by Just Dashes and custom seats. Year One provided the interior and assembly. The restored original gauge cluster with custom tachometer was provided by Redline Gaugeworks. GCAR trim did the chrome plating plastic interior pieces.
Shepherd has four Grammy nominations, four No. 1 blues albums and a string of No. 1 mainstream rock singles. He's also received two Billboard Music Awards and was twice awarded the Orville H. Gibson Award for Best Blues Guitarist.
