Hart’s vehicle made its debut during the SEMA Monday Reveal, a
prominent pre-show event that offered a glimpse at the
aftermarket’s future, spotlighting what’s next in the most advanced
vehicle designs and builds. It was one of only 12 vehicles included
in the program. The vehicle is now on display in Holley’s SEMA
booth (#22463) in Central Hall, where attendees can view the
exceptional vehicle firsthand.
“With a collection of high-performance classics revered around
the world, we were honored to work with Kevin Hart on his latest
masterpiece and are excited to see our work showcased on the
world’s largest aftermarket stage,” said John McLeod, Director,
Detroit Speed & Engineering. “We worked closely with Kevin to
deliver a custom rebuild that celebrates the timeless appeal of the
1969 Pontiac GTO, captures his individual passions and spirit, and
incorporates many of Holley’s leading aftermarket solutions.”
Hart, a car collector and enthusiast, has nearly a dozen
custom-built cars as part of his collection. He selected Detroit
Speed & Engineering for this latest build due to the team’s
deep experience and expertise overseeing pro-touring vehicle
restorations.
“This ‘69 GTO was purchased by me for a close friend who wasn’t
a classic car fan and instead of returning such a great muscle car,
I decided to build it into a restomod,” said Hart. “I chose Detroit
Speed & Engineering to build the GTO because when it came to
fit and functionality, their name was always mentioned. From
knowledge to creativity, the Detroit Speed & Engineering team
checks all the boxes. I’m excited about the work that was performed
on my classic!”
