One car we couldn't wait to get a closer look at during SEMA Show 2017 was this twin-turbocharged '64 Dodge Polara built for Jesse James by the famed Roadster Shop. Sitting pretty (those who like patina would say) in Honeywell Garrett's booth, we got an inside look of this muscle machine firsthand. With tons of custom features that have been finished off to a level we've come to expect from the crew at Roadster Shop, glance around with us in the video above and read on for the full spec list and gallery at bottom.
