Sexxy Red. It’s amazing how one 1963 Impala lowrider could make such a splash, especially when you consider that it was parked outside next to a huge selection of brodozers and a handful of exotics. It’s amazing because there really isn’t anything ground breaking or out there about this build, with one exception. Just one! The engine. And it’s not even the engine itself, but rather the induction system on the engine. If it weren’t for the blower, this car would just be another bad ass lowrider that would have gotten passed up by lots of people who would not have appreciated it.

Growing up in Northern California, there was a heavy lowrider population and culture, multiple hydraulics install shops, and lots of cruising and car shows. So I grew up loving lowriders and have always loved the chrome, the hydros, the engraving, and the insane paint work. When I moved to SoCal in the mid 2000’s and got to experience the SoCal lowrider culture, I was hooked again. There is just something special about it and you have to be there to experience it in person.

But back to Sexxy Red.

This car has all the right lowrider flavor, but with an engine combo that just screams race car and lowrider at the same time. If you look at the insane amount of plating and engraving going on with this ride it will boggle your mind. Again, all the stuff that is done to it, outside of the powerplant, transmission, and shifter, is totally OG lowrider. And it comes out of Texas, with all the engraving done in California. It’s nuts, and the video will give you a taste.

It’s the story of how a three-and-a-half-month build stole the spotlight at the 2024 SEMA Show. This 1963 Chevrolet Impala, nicknamed “Sexxy Red,” is a unique blend of traditional lowrider style and modern power, lavishly embellished with chrome, gold plating, and miles of ornate engraving.

The car began as an unfinished hardtop project. From there, owner Zach Pennock and his crew at Breton Creek Customs transformed it into a jaw-dropping topless ride motivated by a wild blown LS motor. So, how do you build a spectacular machine like this in only a few months? Easy – you just need to get some of the most talented people in the country to work nonstop without sleep. “We finished it on Saturday morning at 4 a.m., took a three-hour nap, loaded it onto a trailer, and brought it here,” says Zach.
