Default Greening Auto Company 1971 Camaro SEMA 2008

Jesse Greening and the crew at Greening Auto Company built this sick '71 Camaro, and we had the chance to chat with him about it.

This Camaro was absolutely phenomenal! Motor compartment was as good as it gets. Very simple. Typical Greening - executed flawlessly. We had to keep pulling Jody away from this thing!!

Not a lot of 2nd Gens at the Show but this one was amoung the best of all the Camaros. Loved the car and was very cool watching it race on Saturday at the Optima Challange.

Not only did Jesse win the GM Styling award at SEMA, he finished a very close second in the styling competition at The OPTIMA Batteries Ultimate Street Car Invitational - after he beat the snot of it on the track. And Jesse was one of 5 cars invited directly from the SEMA floor, so he had no prep time! Show and go, he's set a new bar for a lot of builders! Congrats Jesse, I'm really glad you could make it out to the event.

I agree with everyone. That car was awesome at SEMA and even more cool outside being flogged at the Optima event.

The car looks awesome. I am biulding one for a customer and I am wondering if anyone knows what size wheels he is running? I know they are his own design, they fit the car great. thanks, Jon.

That car is absolutely over the top! Love the panels under the hood, great eye for styling. What color have those been painted? The body looks great too, as the styling still looks very close to stock. I always liked this body style, especially when I found out that Bill Mitchell borrowed it from Ferrari and Aston Martin, as well as Pininfarina. Decidedly European. VERY beautiful car Jessie. Job well done. Congratulations on the award, well deserved.
