Rodney Snyder from Riverton, Illinois built his 1988 Pontiac Fiero Pro Street by hand in a two-car garage back in 1987–88. He built the round tube chassis himself, machined the motor, and put it all together with help from two friends—back when they owned a small machine shop.

The car runs a 440ci big block Chevy (.060 over 427 block), with L88 aluminum heads, a Hampton 14-71 blower, and twin 1150 Holley Dominators. It’s backed by MSD ignition and built to run hard.

The Fiero first showed at Du Quoin in 1989. Rodney painted it in 1991, then parked it in his dad’s garage in 1996 when life shifted. In 2015, he brought it home, got it running again, and it’s been back at Du Quoin every year since 2018.

Check it out THIS WEEKEND, May 2–4 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds.

Rick Freeman from Godfrey, IL has been part of the Du Quoin scene since 1985, and his 1956 Ford F-100 has the kind of history you just don’t see every day. He finished building it in 1988—just in time to take it on his honeymoon to the Nationals—and it’s been making the trip ever since.

Under the hood, it’s running a 390 FE backed by a Toploader 4-speed, with a narrowed 9-inch rear end and a Heidts front suspension. The all-steel front end is fully hydraulically tilted, and it’s still sporting the same paint and drivetrain it left the garage with over 35 years ago.

Rick’s been driving this truck since 1978, and it’s never been trailered—just fueled up and driven in, year after year.

If you’re into vehicles with soul and stories, this is one to see. Register your vehicle or buy discount tickets now before prices go up.

See you May 2–4 at the Du Quoin State Fairgrounds!
