What it is
Goodguys is the largest hot rod and street rod show series in America. Tour stops include autocross events, cruise nights, and large swap meets.
Unlike Concours (judged restorations), Goodguys is street-rod-friendly — modified, restomod, and custom builds are welcomed alongside stock restorations.
Driver-grade muscle (Mustang, Camaro, Chevelle) and street rods (modified 1932 Fords, 1957 Bel Airs) dominate.
Which rigs fit the event
- Driver-grade Mustang Fastback (1965-1970), Camaro Z/28 (1969-1973), Chevelle SS — appropriate for Goodguys cruise nights.
- Restomod 1957 Chevy Bel Air or 1969 Camaro with modern drivetrain — common at Goodguys, accepted on the show field.
- Pre-war Ford coupe or hot rod build — Goodguys' street-rod heritage celebrates these.
Booking logistics
- Tour dates published 6+ months ahead on Goodguys' calendar. Book 2-3 months ahead for the regional stop.
- Most PickRV hosts in tour-stop cities offer Goodguys-week pricing. Verify event participation in the listing.
- Many hosts will deliver to event venue parking.
