SEMA 2012: Dakota Digital Shows Off “The Professor,” Goodguys Muscle Machine of the Year

Built by Lakeside Rods & Rides on an Art Morrison chassis, and packing an LSR by six-time NHRA Pro Stock champ  Warren “The Professor”Johnson mated to a beefy Gearstar box, “The Professor” is a slick silver rocket which retains the 2nd-gen aesthetic while adding an otherworldly smoothness that’s striking in photos—and even more so in person. The C-pillar might be polarizing—I see hints of a Mustang Fastback—but against PPG’s Porsche Silver, the clean interior and overall attention to detail, I think it works.

What do you think? Check out the photos below!

SEMA also saw a host of other great Camaros over the week including: Reggie Jackson’s green ’69 Yenko, the blown 780 LS7 1st Gen, the Hot Wheels themed ’69, the Custom Shop’s adventure in graphics, the one of a kind Copo Convertible, Mark Stielow’s latest, Mayhem.
