It’s with deep sadness that we announce the untimely death of our visionary and leader Vic Edelbrock Jr. Vic passed away this evening from complications following a recent cold. His passing was peaceful and in the company of his closest friends and family. The Edelbrock Fun Team sends their deepest condolences to his family and will always hold him in our hearts.

From Edelbrock’s Facebook page.

The man was a true pioneer in the industry and helped shape hot rodding and the car hobby as we know it.

RIP, Vic. Thanks for the memories and the speed.

Good guy and a fair businessman. Sad to see him go.

Here’s hoping that Edelbrock stays “Made In USA” and not sold off to some Chinese conglomerate.

The world not only lost a true car guy but somebody who was able to take his dad’s company and grow it through all sorts of economic times.

I think some stuff is made in China now, like engine sheet metal.

I think his kids are just as passionate about the business as he was, but the next generation after that is the one to watch and see where the company goes.
