196 miles after this '66 Nova with an L79 327 and 4 spd was sold, the new owner traded it back in. People have been flipping it for profit and storing it in museums ever since. Won the 2003 Chevy Nova Nationals in 2003.

The 2nd owner bought it as a gift for their son, who only drove it about 1700 miles, he rarely drove it, got a divorce, and it sat in his parents garage until it was sold as part of their estate sale

How someone made a RAM TRX a bit more fun

there was a vintage desert racer at SEMA getting the word out that next year will be a vintage desert racers reunion and race

Skyline GT at SEMA

new bodied for old Land Rovers, Broncos, Land Cruisers were at SEMA

John Larroquette, most famous for Night Court, was also in 29 episodes of Black Sheep Squadron, and Larry Mannetti, famous for Magnum PI, was in 34 episodes (thanks George!)

A total of eight Corsairs, of varied backgrounds, participated in the filming: four FG-1Ds, two F4U-7s, one F4U-1A, and one F4U-4. Five were combat veterans, two have turned hot laps at Reno, and two later became Oshkosh Grand Champions. 

Since the conclusion of Black Sheep in 1978, one FG-1D and one F4U-7 have been lost. Of the remaining six aircraft, four are actively flying, one is maintained in airworthy condition but not flown, and the last is awaiting restoration to airworthy condition.

 With some supports under it, I bet that's one of the strongest beams in the whole building!

there were a nice amount of Chevelles at SEMA this year (there were probably more than these three, but, I have a 1000 photos and no time to look through them all right now)

I think I'd like to know why Buick GNs are the latest thing that are getting the extreme talents interest for SEMA builds

In 2022 there was the Kevin Hart owned but Salvaggio Design built GN, and the Roadster Shop GN https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/11/there-were-even-2-gns-in-central-hall.html

great looking C10

cool paint job, though not as awesome as the "Real Fire" that Mike Lavallee was putting on cars... but the hood scoop is remarkable
