The Invicta was my pick too. Congrats to all the builders for making it to the best of the best.

That C10. Was built for after show use. That's proper thinking and design

Loved the vehicle walkarounds - nice work. The Invicta was on a different level from every other entry, but I enjoyed them all. Thanks!

My favourite was the '69 Mustang but I would have voted for the Buick as well. Nine years in the making, the final result was just simply stunning. The Buick builders managed to retain the styling cues of both its original exterior & interior, while upgrading the materials the highest level. Even the Nailhead was retained, which is just so Buick. It was an homage to influence that Chuck Jordan had on the entire '59 GM full sized line-up, which was a radical change from the one year only bulky '58 GM offerings. Nice work all 'round.

great camera work and clean commentary, and then to show the ceremony at the end. perfectly done.

I'll second that.

Congratulations Cal Automotive Creations! They have FINALLY SHOWED THE BUICK SOME LOVE!!!!!🛡️🛡️🛡️

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE BUILDERS AND TEAMS!!!

LOVE how the Invicta builder chose to retain the very unique and original equipment instrument panel mirror setup. While Buick only used this for a couple years (1960-1961 I believe) it's pretty awesome. The actual speedometer & associated gauges are printed in reverse and sit facing the front of the vehicle, below the driver's line of sight. A rectangular mirror that rotates several degrees is placed where the gauges would normally sit. This allows the driver to adjust the mirror angle based on their height and optimal viewing angle, using a thumb wheel that is just to the right of the mirror. If you've never seen this, I recommend you seek one of these out at your next car show that has any of the early 60's Buicks.

Yeah..My father had a 61 Le Sabre...401,, We Drove From Boston to Pompano Beach Florida, 4 Times...Then, he Bought a 67 Le Sabre,... Always Buick.. Tough Cars..

KInda thought it was gonna be the Invicta, but that XR4TI is SIIICK

The Invicta was just stunning, 9 years in the making, how much money was spent is the question. The Goolsby Mustang was just stunning in my view, and he kept it Ford with a super charged Coyote engine, paint fit and finish were flawless.

The Merkur hatchback is the cat's pajamas! What an odd choice of car to build, but turned out awesome. I'd bet that you won't see another one at SEMA.

Love the 1953 F-100 color, to me it's the best looking vehicle!

6:25 XR4Ti was incredible. My only complaint is it’s not AWD.

And it's has a Ford engine and not a Cosworth engine

Absolutely. All the vehicles in the run up were awesome, and there were a couple that stood out, but that Buick was just a step above everything else!

This is a contest of skill ingenuity dreams desire and money..it shows the world how amazingly creative an automobile can be...

Thanks for the post! Some real gems 💎

Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊

Invicta was stunning, But the 1968 Wagoneer was my favorite! Perfectly executed and tasteful...

Right off the bat, the Camaro is freaking Amaze-Balls.

6:29 In UK we called this a Suerra. Hard pressed to find one still on the road in any variant. Nice tho.

100% the correct decision. That car is wild and looks like it was made in the 60's. It is is no such thing. Great art is a masterpiece.

Thank You for this Eye candy. What beautiful work is shown here.

As usual, all of these cars are gorgeous. But count me.a HUGE fan of Goolsby's. It seems if that team breaths on a car it becomes beautiful, and this year's Mustang is no different.

ugh - ruined it with the chrome on that thing - the extra pewter detail was so good I wish they would've done every trim piece in the pewter.

Loved the "Dip Your POS" background muzak.

The Buick was my fav! That color/paint job just pops!

Thanks for sharing!

A worthy winner!!

Excellent walk around. A very well-paced narration. Use of a polarizer could have had helped eliminate reflection. Thank you.

It’s amazing how builders create and follow trends. The industry sure has matured since the 1960s

They revived good old days.

Johnathan Goolsby is so talented and a awesome builder so cool to know i can go about 15 minutes down the road and get a totally custom car built from the frame up ! And he doesn't do just Hotrods hes done a badass Orange 90s CRX in the early 2000s and it won a bunch of shows and was featured in Super Street magazine or Import Tuner magazine one or the other I cant remember which one tho ! It had a totally custom dash and stereo in the rear hatch it was a real head turner !

The Buick 60 and the 1969 Chevy C-10 was outstanding

GOOD CHOICE , THE BUICK WAS BY FAR THE BEST THERE

The Invicta is stunning! '60 Buicks were some elegant, beautiful cars. I owned a '60 LaSabre, white on red...back in '87.

Did I hear right that everything was hand made?, Every body panel is pretty amazing for that beautiful Invicta, that got my vote, also liked the International for coolness

It's the car I picked as the winner when watching the video. Well done guys! What an incredibly beautiful build! 🙌🙌🙌

Invicta is my choice! Quite the competition! Thanks for the terrific coverage, Rob.

A TOTALLY AWSOME VIDEO AND A LOT OF TOTALLY AWSOME BUILDS!!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

The 60 Buick, hands down!

My vote goes to the Buick Invicta

Nice👍

A MUST WATCH VIDEO!!!!

nice cars, I liked the 2 jeeps. Especially the blue one. would totally have that one.

XR4Ti

The Invicta is amazing, beautiful paint job.

The Sierra Cosworth is just Beautiful, the paint looks incredible 😍

NICE !

Obrigado por esse vídeo maravilhoso

Awesome that they were all old school cars and jeeps 🎉

OMG I’m so happy the Buick won! That car is so pretty it hurts.

The sidetrim on the first Camaro was revolting !

The Buick is a work of art, unbelievable, in a different league, compared to the rest

They’re all so beautiful. The paint on all of them is amazing. My vote also would have been the Buick.

Yep. the Buford was my winner, too.

Good job on the video man!

Thank you very much!

I hope the Invicta will spark some interest in big body GM cars...Buick Electra 225, Olds 98's, etc.

I liked the Mustang, but that Invicta was dope

Good choice by the judges. The Buick was by far my favorite although there were a few other good entries as well. The one I couldn't understand being in the final twelve was that awful green Ford F100. Was the person who picked the interior colors for that truck color blind?! Blech! Two thumbs way down on that entry but those who voted for that gorgeous and classy Buick got it 100% right. Hats off to them,

I chose the Invicta too. I was hoping it would be the winner.

That Buick is fire 🔥

The C10 is nice. That lime green on the '53 F100 is just a crime. The other two of interest are the 911 and XR4Ti. Not even a little interested in that off green buick.

My grandfather would be so proud .

ford sierra for me,they are all stunning cars

Here’s a thought, how about the builders take the car on a 500 mile road trip? I bet most wouldn’t make it, because it’s about show, not go.

I’d rather they have to build these in one year between events. Something more people can relate to.

That Buick🤌👍🙏

OOHH a big time custom shop wins again. Shocking!

Buick! No contest!

Limit the builds to 60k keep the Corps limited also

WOW!!!! RETRO IS HOT IN 2023!!!!

That lime green Ford truck is NOT a 1953.. The Sanford and Son truck was a '53...

Not sure on the merc with a ford engine...german engine would be the crown jewel

If it wasn’t for us poor old guys with a project car the SEMA show wouldn’t exist….. The money invested in some these car relegate them to the exotic car category.

Every car built by kendig is better than anything I've seen here

That Camaro’s interior was ridiculous… all white? I don’t want a car I can’t drive, but then again, I can’t afford any of these cars.

very nice but what are they good for other than showing off the builders skill? I guess that's the point but cars are meant to be driven and you can't drive these.

The right car won.

Very disappointing vehicle bullds, The Buick invicta is a very nice build though, glad it won.

Jordan Henke was robbed... 🙁 JK'n, but not really. His RS4-Ti was the best, followed closely by the Porsche. 💯

To be so different, they sure are all the same.

All it took to win was be a finned classic lol

A bunch of Odd cars. I mean the Merkur, International Harvester, odd colours too. Buick deserves the win.

Merkur? Pfft, that's a Sierra :)

🤷 Promo`SM

Everything is just so overdone and over the top, and it's all sponsored and paid for by this or that company. I'd rather just see what some poor guy down the street is doing with his old project car, but then again i'm just a poor guy with a project car.
