Every year, right at the beginning of November, there is a pilgrimage made to the Las Vegas Convention Center. Some view the SEMA show as a three-ring circus of everything automotive, some view it as a glorified car show, and others still think that they have walked into the gates of gearhead heaven when they get their passes. Truth be told, all parties are right here: there is a LOT to take in for SEMA week. If you can’t find a piece of rolling art masquerading as a car, go take up gardening. If the ride and drive events don’t wake up your senses, maybe you need to go check out a movie and head back to your hotel room. And the cars…oof, don’t get us started on the cars. Every year we think we’ve missed something, even though our step counters swear that we’ve covered everything three times over.

But what happens to all of these big-time builds after the show is over? Many end up on eBay for auction, in the hopes of recouping some of the cost that went into creating the car in the first place, and that’s where we started digging for a couple of options for today’s this-or-that question. Both of these cars were SEMA rides, and both are being sold for a price that we wouldn’t cringe at. That’s about where any similarities end, though. Without further ado, we present the options:

1. 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Belltech…the name that every sport-truck fanatic who was fogging a mirror in the 1990s held as gospel. If you wanted it down on the ground and done right, Belltech was who you turned to, and to this day if you want to see your truck in the weeds, these guys are a good place to start shopping. This fourth-gen Z28 was built for SEMA duties by the masters of slammed Chevrolet trucks and is what you would consider a mild custom. Naturally, there’s a ton of suspension work, including Hotchkis trailing arms and Panhard rod, and Suspension Techniques coil springs, but it’s the non-suspension stuff that has our attention: the LT-1 got a Paxton SN-93 blower, MSD ignition, a Jet PCM and a Borla cat-back exhaust. The six-speed car has only 29,000 miles on the clock, and the Wings West body kit looks pretty decent. We aren’t sold on the OZ wheels, but one item versus the car overall means that we can find another set if we are really bothered. It looks pure 1990s, but in the right way.

2. 1967 Lincoln Continental

Maybe the Camaro is too modern and too…what’s the word…anonymous for you. As cool as the F-car is, it is still a silver mid-1990s Camaro, a shape that is either loved or loathed. Well, we have yet to see someone who is turned off by a suicide-door Lincoln Continental. After it’s round at the 2010 SEMA show, it got a mild workover but is still in great shape. The Conti rides on air all the way around, 22″ Coys wheels, and white-stripe tires for a retro-modern look. A fresh vinyl top was laid down, a new windshield was installed, and the sound system is best described as “plenty adequate”. Our only issue with the car is the steering wheel that is meant to look like one of the wheels on the car…that would have to go. But again, one issue for the whole car is a pointless argument.

There’s the options, now let us know your decision below!
