Goodguys Grand Prize Giveaway ’87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe Ceremony

July 18, 2025

One of the standout moments exclusive to the Goodguys Summit Racing Nationals was the highly anticipated 2025 Grand Prize Giveaway. Seventeen lucky finalists each received a key, but only one would start the car. 

As the tension mounted and just three contenders remained, Trent Nelson stepped up, inserted his key, and—boom!—the supercharged LT4 roared to life. Huge congratulations to Trent & Shawn Nelson, who are now cruising back to Illinois in their brand-new Aerocoupe!

As the Goolsby Crew says farewell to one of our favorite builds. We would like thank all the companies that played a major role in this amazing build.
