1987 Buick Grand National owned by Angelo Vespi, crafted by Dutchboys Hotrods, made a sensational impact at SEMA 2024. The build gained viral status through our CarShowz Facebook page, and deservedly so, as it boasts exceptional craftsmanship both internally and externally. This is Angelo and Dutchboys version of the GNXS.
Engine: Mast Motorsports 427 LS7
Chassis: Custom Chassis with Detroit Speed X-gen front subframe and quadralink rear

The build’s seamless flow from the interior to the exterior has sparked widespread online discussions about the choice of wheels and, notably, the engine swap.

About CarShowz.com
CarShowz.com was born from decades of real automotive experience — the kind earned under shop lights, at late‑night meets, and through thousands of miles chasing the next great build. In 2009, we took a scrappy .us domain and turned it into a mission: fix the chaos of forums, flyers, and outdated event info. So we built the one-stop garage for car culture.
What started as a simple event hub evolved fast. Our passion behind the lens exploded, and automotive photography became the heartbeat of CarShowz — capturing the chrome, the craftsmanship, and the stories that make this community legendary.
CarShowz isn’t just a platform. It’s a crew. A movement. A brand forged by years of real‑world automotive grit — built by people who live it, breathe it, and bring it to life for the world to see.
