The Holley LS Fest West Car Show 2024 just wrapped up. This wasn’t your run-of-the-mill car expo, folks – it was a turbocharged celebration of everything automotive, where authenticity and craftsmanship took the driver’s seat.
The Holley LS Fest West Car Show is an epic event that pays homage to the legacy and performance of LS and LT-powered machines. Imagine this: a gathering of the sickest LS and current-gen LT rides you’d ever seen, each one a testament to the blood, sweat, and grease poured into its creation. But we’re not just talking about flashy paint jobs and blinged-out rims – we were all about the nitty-gritty details here. From intricate mods to groundbreaking designs, we were on the prowl for rides that screamed individuality.
And let’s not forget the “Under Construction” category, where works in progress got their chance to shine. Whether you’re elbow-deep in engine guts or just sketching out your dream build, LS Fest West has a spot with your name on it. At LS Fest West, there’s no limit to what you can dream up!
Held annually at the iconic Las Vegas Motor Speedway during the last week of April, it draws enthusiasts from all corners, offering them a chance to bask in the roar of engines and the gleam of polished chrome. It more than just a car show – it’s a mecca for motorheads, united by their love for automotive greatness.
Best of Show Winner
Best of Show went to Michael Cooper of Lancaster, CA with his beautiful 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle. Mike’s vision for the Chevelle was made reality with the help of the experts at Asen Auto Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, CA. We love the clean look of this car, from the tidy engine bay to the custom black and white interior. This Chevelle really knocks it out of the park.
Features include a 600 hp 427 ls7 with a Tremec 6 speed tied to a Moser 12 bolt with a Holley Dominator. Long tube headers with Flowmaster 3″ exhaust give this GM the proper rumble. The chassis was reinforced and fitted with speed tech suspension with ViKing coil overs, Wilwood brakes, 19 & 20″ Bc forged wheels on 255 and 295 nitto tires with no mini tub and full inner fender.
Be sure to head on over and check out Asen Auto Inc. on their Facebook and Instagram pages, to see their latest projects.
Trucks
This C10 by Cuttingedge Hotrods’ is a showstopper that marries vintage charm with high-performance upgrades. Cameron Bishop’s vision turned a 1972 Chevrolet C10 into a standout with a custom chassis and a rear-mounted transaxle. The truck’s LS3 engine sits back for better balance. Inside, a roll cage, aluminum dash, and race-ready seats complete the sleek, race-inspired look. Keep up with the latest news from Cutting Edge Hot Rods on their Instagram
Carlos Alexandre’s No End Customs “Coffee & Donuts” truck is an absolute beast on the track. We love the balance of old school charm and hi-tech gadgetry and performance. Check out the No End Customs Instagram page to see more about this incredible build and others.
Josh Wojciechowski’s 1969 LSF100 has gone from cruiser to full-on race truck over the course of the last 6 years. Check out his Instagram page to see the latest news on the LSF100 and other builds.
Alex Valdez is the owner of this 1966 Chevrolet C-10. This truck is truly a masterpiece, blending influences from street rods, classic trucks, low riders, hot rods, and muscle cars, with engraved details, tasteful airbrush work, polished aluminum, custom paint, and upholstery. Every detail meticulously crafted, earned it the Anderson Composites Top Pick Award!
Clean Builds
Who needs a flux capacitor? Steven Flanagan’s LS swapped Delorean would make Doc Brown green with envy. We love the custom LED lighting on the engine. See more of this amazing build on Steven’s Instagram.
Unique Builds
Here we have “Haulin’ Ash,” the 1993 Buick Roadmaster Hearse powered by a 427ci LS engine with twin 80mm turbos. It’s not your average ride to the afterlife—this beast is likely the fastest hearse on the planet. Keep your eyes peeled for its jaw-dropping 8 second 1/4 mile times. Owned by Jason Pickett, this hearse means serious business.
