Roadster Shop Showcases Four Incredible LS- And LT-Powered Builds

One of the highlights of SEMA 2026 and, in fact, every SEMA show, is multiple visits to Roadster Shop. With two displays, one inside Central Hall and one outside of Central Hall, the “solutions for all” crew always features some of the most impressive rides at the show.

It just so happened that all of the builds at this year’s outside booth had distinctly different styles. The builds also shared one of the best virtues in our hobby: epic LS and LT power! With that in mind, we thought it might be fun to ask you, our dear readers, to pick a favorite. So, take a look at the details, find our LSX Facebook post, and sound off in the comments!

1973 Chevrolet K5 Roadster

Slammed on a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis, this epic Blazer wraps sick Kawasaki KX-themed paint around smooth LT4 power and a tried-and-true T-56 six-speed. Details include lowered and shaved doors, a smoothed tailgate and roll pan, a tucked bumper on a tilted valance, and a raised bed floor with custom wheel tubs. Everything rolls on color-keyed Forgeline RB34C wheels that measure 20 inches up front and 22 inches in the rear.

1966 Chevrolet Chevelle

Stretching Deep Black Spies Hecker two-stage around a subtly customized body, this Chevy features a super clean Don Hardy LS3 that, with the help of Kinsler eight-stack injection, creates 650 horsepower. In the middle of the car’s Butter Rum Relicate Leather interior, you’ll find the shifter for a traditional TREMEC 6-speed, which is centered in a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis. Power meets the pavement through stylish Forgeline FF3Cs.

1956 Chevrolet 210 Wagon

A cool California cruiser that wraps original patina around a Roadster Shop REVO chassis, this awesome wagon backs fresh GM LT4 power with a 10L90 ten-speed. Major body modifications included a custom firewall, a custom core support, and a custom cargo floor that’s framed by custom mini tubs. At the corners, handsome Forgeline OE1s spin classic black pigment around traditional Chevrolet hubcaps.

1988 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA

A 14K-mile time capsule that’s been carefully married to a Roadster Shop SPEC chassis, this Pontiac features substantially upgraded mechanicals that revolve around an epic BluePrint Engines LS7. Cashing in on the latest and greatest trend, the builders chose to support that LS7 with a ZF 8HP70 eight-speed. Torque meets the tarmac through stylish HRE 501 Vintage Series blades, sized 18 inches up front and 19 inches out back.

From a slammed K5 and a slick ’66 Chevelle to a patina-covered wagon and a low-mileage Trans Am, Roadster Shop brought a little something for everyone to SEMA 2026. And while all four builds feature serious LS or LT power and the company’s incredible chassis technology, each takes a completely different approach to the hobby we love. That’s what makes this lineup so much fun! But now comes the hard part: picking a favorite. Head over to our LSX Facebook page, cast your vote, and let us know which of these four rides you’d love to have in your garage!
