VINTAGE SHAPE. HELLCAT HEART.
Tiffany keeps the unmistakable single-cab Power Wagon profile and pairs it with a 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8. The turquoise paint, bronze and copper accents, lifted suspension, and brown leather interior give this build a character all its own.
The appeal is in the combination: a truck with classic working roots, modern power, and details worth taking time to explore. Open the full build gallery to see Tiffany from the exterior through the cabin.

[ EchoPark Speedway · August 28–29 ]
MORE THAN A ROW OF SHOW CARS
At EchoPark Speedway in Hampton, Georgia, Power Fest brought together classic muscle, modern performance, street rods, trucks, and custom builds. The two-day format combined a car show with racing and a manufacturer midway, putting several sides of car culture in one place.
A different starting line
An eighth-mile stretch of pit road became the dragstrip. Arm-drop starts and head-to-head finishes gave the racing a direct, old-school feel.
More than straight-line speed
The autocross categories covered Modern, Vintage, and Truck/SUV entries. Braking and direction changes gave drivers another way to put their machines to work.
For us, the highlight was seeing Tiffany recognized among the builds gathered there. For visitors, the mix offered plenty to explore between the show area and the on-course action.

THE FEST THAT HELPED START A TOUR
Power Fest came before Power Tour?
Yes. HOT ROD’s retrospective traces Power Festival to 1994. In 1995, staff and readers drove from Los Angeles to its Ohio stop, helping launch what became Power Tour.
Was there a road trip at the 2026 event?
HOT ROD reports that roughly 80 cars joined Saturday’s 78.5-mile cruise through Georgia, led by AnD Hot Rod Shop’s 1939 Chevrolet sedan, Sid.
What could you race at Power Fest?
The announced drag classes were Small Tire, Daily Driver Challenge, and Stick Shift Shootout. Different classes gave street machines and manual-transmission cars their own place in the program.
