Ringbrothers Headed to SEMA 2026 with Wild 1965 GTO “BILLIE” and Return of “RECOIL” Chevelle
Every year, the SEMA Show floor delivers some of the most jaw-dropping machinery on the planet, and Wisconsin-based powerhouse Ringbrothers never disappoints. For SEMA 2026 (running Nov. 3–6 in Las Vegas), Mike and Jim Ring are bringing a lethal one-two punch: the worldwide debut of a reimagined 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible dubbed “BILLIE,” alongside the return of their legendary 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle, “RECOIL.”
World Debut: 1965 Pontiac GTO Convertible “BILLIE”
Leading the charge this year is “BILLIE,” a ground-up reinvention of Pontiac’s legendary muscle car that bridges classic American styling with bleeding-edge technology.
-
Handcrafted Proportions: The GTO’s body has been widened by a massive five inches via bespoke fabrication and extensive carbon-fiber work.
-
Modern Muscle: Pushing out over 650 horsepower, BILLIE features a modern drivetrain, updated suspension, and an advanced custom chassis.
-
Meticulous Craftsmanship: Over 5,500 build hours were poured into perfecting the stance, panel gaps, and custom interior details.
-
Where to Catch It: BILLIE will officially be unveiled on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at 10:30 a.m. PST at the Gentex booth (#23889).
A SEMA Icon Returns: 1966 Chevelle “RECOIL”
Marking 12 years since its original debut at SEMA 2014, Ringbrothers is bringing back “RECOIL,” the build that pushed pro-touring and resto-mod fabrication into a completely different stratosphere.
-
Under the Hood: Powered by a Wegner Motorsports-built LS7 topped with a massive Whipple supercharger, pushing 980 horsepower.
-
Aviation & Billet Details: Known for its signature copper-woven carbon-fiber exterior panels, custom Glasurit “Sand Storm” finish, forged HRE rollers, and aircraft-inspired bare-metal race seats.
-
Where to Catch It: RECOIL will be on display throughout the entire week starting Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Ringbrothers booth (#22987).
