Classic Recreations Displays a 1,000-Horsepower Carbon Fiber 1967 GT500 At SEMA

Standing out under the bright lights of the Las Vegas Convention Center takes serious hardware, especially when hundreds of wild restomods pack every hall.

Making its first SEMA appearance under Velocity Restorations ownership, Classic Recreations drew massive crowds inside the FuelTech booth by parking an officially licensed Carbon Fiber 1967 GT500 right on the carpet.

Fresh off an appearance at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, this GT500CR Carbon blends composite bodywork soaked in BASF Glasurit paint with four-digit Coyote power.

Lifting the Ringbrothers hinges reveals a Wegner-built Gen 4X Coyote V8 topped with an inverted 3.0-liter Whipple supercharger and a Wegner front accessory drive.

That combination cranks out 1,000 horsepower, routing torque through a Suncoast 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission and a Panhandle Driveline composite driveshaft to a Ford 9-inch housing fitted with a Gear FX 8.8 center section.

Making sure all that horsepower hooks up on the street comes down to a FuelTech FT700 standalone electronic control unit (ECU) tucked cleanly inside the glove box.

Working alongside a Vaporworx fuel controller, the management system dials in traction control so the Carbon Fiber 1967 GT500 puts power to the pavement with precision rather than just roasting the rear tires.

A Wizard radiator and fan package keeps engine temperatures in check while spent gases exit through a TIG-welded stainless exhaust featuring Spintech mufflers and titanium tips.

Underneath the lightweight shell, a Detroit Speed Aluma-Frame front setup and Quadra-Link rear suspension pair with electronically controlled Nitron Elec-Tron shocks to modernize the classic pony car geometry.

Forgeline Carbon Grudge wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 rubber hide massive Brembo CCM-R carbon-ceramic brakes featuring six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.

Inside the Dynamat-lined cabin, Scheel-Mann seats, an ididit steering column, Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air climate control, and a Focal K2 audio system with a Mosconi amplifier and Alpine head unit keep the driver comfortable.

Pairing track-proven electronic engine management with a lightweight Carbon Fiber 1967 GT500 body proves Classic Recreations is building serious machines for modern collectors.
