The RADwood Build Challenge presented by Goodyear comes to a close! Three builds, two checks, $100,000 on the line, as ‪@LarryChenPhoto @stanceworks @vin_tra bring their finished builds to RADwood NorCal in Alameda, California.
Mike Burroughs shows off his 1989 Lotus Esprit Turbo, wrapped in a VHS-inspired livery, with a last-minute set of HRE wheels, a cooling system fully bled and fans working again and an interior that came together at the last minute. Vin Anatra rolls in with his 1994 GMT400 Dually, now finished with machine-turned details, an orange bed and all the ’90s stickers you could ask for. And Larry Chen unveils his 1996 Honda Accord SiR, a JTCC-inspired tribute built to look like it raced for 7-Eleven in the mid-’90s, with a turbo to make up for the horsepower a stock H22 couldn’t reach.
Then it’s up to you. Show attendees voted with wooden nickels, and the box with the most nickels wins. $50,000 goes to the winning builder and $50,000 to the charity of their choice. Who took home the prize? Watch to find out!
All three vehicles are now live in no-reserve auctions on Hagerty Marketplace (https://www.hagerty.com/marketplace), ending November 5th, 2026. Bid now and bid often!
Thanks to everyone who came out to RADwood NorCal, voted and followed along with the series.
