I'll try to get that for you tomorrow. I just searched the directory and Revology doesn't have a booth at SEMA, so no promises. But I'll see if I can stumble upon it.

I never did stumble upon the Revology Mustang. However, lucky for you we are actually running a full feature story on the car. It'll be in the next issue of Classic Motorsports—being sent to the printers in a few days. I'll see if I can dig up an engine shot from the materials for that story.

Oh and you should totally subscribe to Classic Motorsports to read all about it and how it compares to the real deal.

The lack of air filters in most of those speaks volumes about intended use. Although every car I buy from California is missing the filter, so maybe I'm missing something...

I didn't spend any time gawking at the cars at SEMA - but I did have to stop and check out the lowrider. Spectacular.

Bumping....any luck Ed? I did receive my Jan '17 Classic Motorsports, but it had pictures of the convertible Revology car, not the GT350, and the engine shot was a little small for details. I'm assuming there's more info and go fast bits on the latter? Any chance of some high-res photos of the interesting modern additions?

Thanks!

They're show cars. Their reason for existing is to be looked at, not to do anything. From what I've seen, they get pushed around because the owners don't put fluids in them. Keeps them from leaking and mussing up the brightwork.

Wouldn't doubt it if some of them don't even bother with internals.

In reply to Knurled:

True, but there's a few guys who show up at shows around me who have sunny day cars that are tucked like that. Not quite SEMA quality (hell I did one of the tuck jobs) but still pretty clean with minimal visible wiring or anything. The car I worked on (the only tuck job I've done) sees a decent amount of track time, and the owner has actually discovered that the tucked bay makes it much easier to spot leaks or other issues that may be an issue on track.

That is cool but I really want to see the v4 that they make with the left over parts. Those I think are really cool.
