Hemmings, the collector car marketplace, is returning to the SEMA Show, November 5-8, Las Vegas, with an all-new build, the '70 Dodge Charger "Sangria" built by Blazin' Rodz, and a special appearance by automotive legend Chip Foose.
Built by Riccardo Salatino and the team at Blazin' Rodz, "Sangria" blends high-performance hot-rod engineering with custom exotic-car design, and will be unveiled during a press conference on Wednesday, November 5 at 12:30 p.m. PST at Booth No. 22493.
With more than 1,500 HP delivered by a Hellephant engine and a carbon-fiber body from Finale Speed, the Charger has been selected for the 2024 SEMA Battle of the Builders Presented by Mothers. Salatino used a combination of modern 3D modeling techniques and old-school coachwork fabrication to bring the vehicle to life. Following its unveiling, the car will be listed for sale on Hemmings.com's Make Offer platform.

Additionally, visitors to the Hemmings booth will have the opportunity to meet Foose, a SEMA Hall of Fame inductee and one of the most influential automotive designers and builders in the industry, during a signing event on Thursday, November 6 from 12:30-2:00 p.m. PST. He will be signing limited-edition posters of the '53 Oldsmobile Convertible, a classic car purchased from Hemmings Classifieds that has remained largely untouched since 1958. In addition to the signing, Chip will have the '53 Oldsmobile Kustom displayed at the SEMA Show.
