Drive On is in Las Vegas this week for the annual orgy of all things related to custom cars, the SEMA aftermarket parts trade show. During the weekend, every kind of amazing car imaginable has been gunning its engines on the way into the convention center parking lot for the show that starts tomorrow.

We already know about a few. This one, a Dodge Challenger customized by Chip Foose, was done by WD-40 lubricants as a charity fundraising project.

You can see how it turned out from the outside, but know that underneath it has a 392-cubic-inch Hemi V-8 producing 470 horsepower, a Tremec six-speed manual transmission and high-performance Brembo brakes.

After the car makes it way through a circuit of car events in the West, it will head to Scottsdale, Ariz., for the big Barrett-Jackson Classic Car Show, with proceeds of the sale going to children's charities.

"You've seen the Camaro and the Mustang with those beautiful WD-40 brand colors, and this year we're going to build something that will turn even more heads," Foose said. "I can't wait to build it, drive it and then auction it off for a great cause at Barrett-Jackson."

This is the third-consecutive year WD-40 has partnered with SEMA Cares, the charity arm of the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), to build a custom vehicle for charity.
