Growing up on a farm outside of Pittsburgh, PA forty-five minutes from the nearest auto center, Scott Phillips gained a love for cars and engine rebuilding at a young age. On this episode of the podcast, Scott shares his early love of cars, specifically turbos, and finding his 1962 Oldsmobile F-85 Jetfire Turbo Sports Convertible in Yuma, Arizona back in 2001. There are very few of these models actively running, this one being the only active running convertible in the United States today. Shipped in a thousand pieces, Scott rebuilt the engine through local community college classes and worked on a second rebuild of the engine within the last few years. Scott has passed on his love for classic cars to his kids and is an advocate for STEM training as a middle school principal at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn, VA. Scott also serves as an officer for the Capitol City Rockets where word of mouth landed him at his first Vienna Cars + Coffee event.
