The 2024 SEMA Show was a great place to see cool new parts and amazing cars and trucks built to show off those products. While it simply isn’t possible to show every TREMEC-equipped vehicle that was at the show, we have compiled this collection that caught our attention. Of course, we also had vehicles in our booth including an all-new AC Ace Classic, the CarBuff Network NTP 1970 Chevelle and the Red River Customs built Cha-Cha Nova Shirley Muldowney tribute. You can see details on those in the video below.
Here’s a look at the #TREMECequipped cars and trucks of the 2024 SEMA Show that stood out the most.
ABOVE: Spotted in the Holley booth was this cool 1989 Ford Mustang coupe. Set up to look like a road racer, this Mustang had all the Holley group goodies with Detroit Speed suspension (at the start of the show it was part of the Holley group) Holley EFI on its 363 Ford Performance crate engine hooked to a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission.
ABOVE: Located in the SEMA HRIA (Hot Rod Industry Alliance) booth was Scott and Stephanie Movic’s gorgeous 1932 Ford Roadster built by Ace Fabrication in Clever, Missouri. This is the type of build that doesn’t seem look complicated, but the more you look at it, the more subtle details you see. It’s TREMEC equipped with a Bowler Performance TKX 5-speed transmission behind its Chevrolet Performance LS3 crate engine. That 430 horsepower might seem ho-hum these days, but in a car weighing just above 2,000 pounds it makes a lopsided power-to-weight ratio that makes this roadster a rocket. The color is PPG Porsche Aetna Blue. It has a stretched wheelbase, lengthened hood and relocated gas tank.
ABOVE: Retro cool with modern vroom. If you want something different with a classic flavor to shift your own gears in, the 7 Fifteen Troy Indy Special delivers it all. You can choose either a 495 or 525 horsepower Chevrolet Performance LS3 crate engine to go with the standard equipment TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission. It uses a Cadillac CTS-V differential in the rear with its IRS suspension and big Wilwood disc bakes at all four corners to keep the fun under control.
ABOVE: Would any Cool Cars of SEMA piece be complete without a TREMEC-equipped something from Ringbrothers? On top of that, who would have ever thought you’d see those automotive artisans from Wisconsin build a G-body Grand National? With the first look at the car you’d wonder if the 4,900 hours of build time was accurate. But as that first look lingers and really takes this Grand National in, that hours of work becomes legit. And no, this GN doesn’t have an LS conversion! Under the hood is a Duttweiler Performance-built turbocharged 3.8L V6 cranking out 1,246 horsepower thanks to a health amount of turbocharged boost. That power goes through a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission from Bowler Performance. It has a Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis, monster Brembo brakes and that color is BASF Dark Vader Gray the perfect tie-in to the car’s name INVADR.
ABOVE: Do you wish you could travel back in time to buy a new 1967 Mustang Fastback? Well, you don’t need a time machine, just a phone to call Brand New Muscle Car in Oklahoma to order a new classic made from all new parts with the options you want. This particular 1967 Mustang has a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission paired with a supercharged 427. The color is “Scorched Apple” candy paint.
ABOVE: We spotted this interesting 1963 Nova SS in the RBS Coatings booth. Built by Cool Hand Customs, it had a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission bolted to an LS V8 that was nestled in an aftermarket front subframe. The Canadian Acadian front grille is an interesting detail that sets it apart from common US Chevy IIs.
ABOVE: Another unique, built from scratch new Mustang on display was The Mustang Brothers “The Outlaw” GT500KR. The first of 25 they plan to build, this one and the other 24 will feature TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmissions paired with supercharged Ford Performance 5.4L crate engines. This particular one is painted Ford Brittany Blue Metallic.
ABOVE: Even though it’s stock, we had to give a nod to this eye-catching 2024 Camaro SS convertible with its TREMEC TR-6060 six-speed since 2024 saw the end of Camaro production once again.
ABOVE: Sitting outside the main hall and gleaming in the desert sun was this bright yellow 1979 Ford Bronco belonging to TREMEC Elite Distributor Modern Driveline with a TREMEC TR-4050 4×4 5-speed manual transmission.
ABOVE: On display in the Meguiar’s booth (maybe filling the Meguiar’s booth is more accurate) was the TREMEC-equipped 1959 Chrysler 1000X we first saw at the 2024 Detroit Autorama competing for the Riddler Award. For full details on the car check out our article and video (https://tremec-blog.com/tremec-equipped-great-8-1959-chrysler-1000x/) that shows the details on how this monster was built.
ABOVE: Parked in the Racing Junk booth was this killer 1971 Plymouth Duster built by BBT Fabrications. It features a custom-built full frame, with a supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8 crate engine and Bowler Performance TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission. We love the blue leather interior paired with the white exterior.
ABOVE: Attracting attention in the Eddie Motorsports booth was its killer Nova called “Renovated” rolling on some of the best looking custom wheels we’ve seen. The third pedal was easy to spot.
