It’s a 1976 912 packing 85 3.3v lithium ion batteries. They power a NetGain Warp11 DC motor, which puts go to the wheels via an original Porsche 5-speed transmission. Built by Sunshine State Restorations in consultation with the Tallahassee Area Electric Vehicle Association. The overall effect? An ultra-clean classic EV. See more…
There’s been a slew of 2010 Camaro pace cars in the last year at high-profile motorsports events like Indy and the Daytona 500. The Sprint Cup series ran the ultra-hot Cyber Grey Camaro in a number of the races this season, and it’s become a welcome part of race-day scenery. However, I haven’t seen a pace car at the as hot as this retro-styled SS, made over by KAO Auto Styling as an update of the 1969 Camaro SS that served as the Indy 500 pace car that year. While this one...
In the central hall, buried among the many forgetful vendors at this years SEMA, I found this curious little number at the Sure Shifter display, a mid 70’s Datsun 620 Pickup. This truck is set up as a little Drag Truck, with the usual Matte Black finish that seems to be THE paint job at this show. Read more after the jump!
It is owned by Jeremy Gradney, who works for TVK Industries, the makers of a new product called the Surematic Shift Indicator. This little trucklet was just completed...
So the reports about the death of SEMA had been greatly exaggerated. We hope y’all enjoyed our coverage, because we had one hell of a time posting it. Personally, it was awesome to be back in a little room typing, swearing, and laughing with my Seattle crew, and getting to watch them sing along with the with the balloon artist/guitar player/one-man-band at Terrible’s was just brilliant. SEMA is a wonderful reminder of why we bust our knuckles covering cars and car culture, and I...
Did you know the General brought back the Camaro for 2010? There’s no way I’d have known,except for the fact that you can’t walk six inches at SEMA without bumping into one. I’m kidding, obviously, and I don’t mean to sound like I’m begrudging my favorite domestic automaker all the fanfare surrounding the return of its legendary muscle car. I think the boys and girls at GM did a great job with the Camaro, and the silver one in the pic below is so hot it makes...
Best of Show, the award for “outstanding achievement in design,” went to this incredible Ring Brothers ‘64 Fairlane in the BASF booth. The car is powered by a Roush 427, rolls on Forgeline 3-piece wheels, and sports a carbon fiber hood, front and rear bumpers, side air intakes and deck lid spoilers. This was one of the hardest cars to photograph cause it was always mobbed. More pics and a quick video after the jump!
I had a chance to interview the builders of this particular machine. Its a cool, one of a kind 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air aptly named the Bel Air SS. Continue reading after the jump!
This car is displayed at this years SEMA show at the Eaton Booth, and has generated a lot of positive press, and I was able to get a video of the three generations of the Ebeling clan, Kieth, Todd, and Michael just before a professional film crew did. This is a wonderful creation, using original and reproduction...
And that’s a wrap for me, folks. Back to LA in the morning, but this was one helluva show. Looks like the hit was the CHEVY CAMARO with about 60 cars appearing. But there were many others that were awesome and heavily involved timewise.
Some final parting shots from North Hall. Not many cars or girls, but some great products for you to check out. Best of Show here.
Big shoutout to the boys and girls of SEMA. They put on another spectacular event. Hot Rods by Rom, Cool Customizable Caliper...
I really liked this Chevy pickup built by Street Customs & Restorations of Mooresville, NC. I especially liked the look of the red engine bay on a black truck. More pics and a quick video after the jump!
Thanks to all the participants in the “Guess the JDM Minivan” posting here on CarDomain. We do have a winner, and its noname666, who happened to guess it almost when the posting went live. So much for the experts here at SEMA! Continue reading after the jump!
Any way, I did an interview with the creator of this one-of-a-kind custom (I say one-of-a-kind, because unlike Japan, there are virtually no JDM Minivans available in the US). Introducing Mr. Shin Okamoto from AirRunner...
…Yeah, they’ve also got a Challenger widebody kit that extends the front fenders 3″ on either side, and parts that’ll dress up your plain-jane C6 Corvette as either a Z06 or a ZR1. And can you name any other booth at SEMA that has a new Camaro, Mustang, Challenger, and Corvette? Talk about covering all your bases. More pics below the jump!
