Thousands of car enthusiasts rolled into the Mackay Showgrounds over the weekend for the Hawks Industrial Solutions Pirtek Mackay Motor Show 2025, and the atmosphere was electric.
Presented by the Mackay Rod & Custom Club, the two-day event featured a stunning display of classic cars, street machines, bikes, and jaw-dropping custom builds that left even seasoned showgoers speechless. “The level of some of these builds is absolutely mind-blowing and the attention to detail is on another level,” one attendee said.
Inside the Pavilion, the Top 10 standout cars were unveiled — a mix of American muscle and Aussie icons, including the 1957 Chev Bel Air (OURBEL), the wild BLOWNRT Dodge Charger, and the immaculate ENVIE 1971 GTS Monaro.
Top 10 in no particular order:
OURBEL - 1957 Chev Belair
BLOWNRT - 1968 Dodge Charger
1TUF57 - 1957 Chev Bel Air
PXH865 - 1970 XY GT

From live music and rock ’n’ roll dancers to the go-to-whoa competition and vintage pin-up contest, the weekend packed in entertainment for all ages.
With polished chrome, roaring engines, and a community of passionate car lovers, this year’s show was a clear winner. And with the bar now raised, fans are already revving up for next year.
