Pat Musi Racing Engines Partners with Lemons Headers to Debut Lizzy Musi ‘Norma Jeane’ Camaro Tribute at 2025 SEMA Show

Pat Musi Racing Engines is proud to partner with Lemons Headers to unveil a special “Norma Jeane” ’68 Camaro Tribute Car during the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (Booth #23655). Conceived and completed over the past year, the car celebrates the late Lizzy Musi’s legacy both on and off the track. The “Norma Jeane” resto-mod will be on display in the Lemons Headers booth at the SEMA Show, where the Musi family will present the car to its new owners. 

“Norma Jeane” is a modernized, resto-mod version of the Camaro Lizzy drove on Street Outlaws: Gone Girl and at select Street Outlaws: No Prep Kings events. Built in close collaboration with Lemons Headers, the project has been deeply personal for everyone involved. Lemons, a longtime supporter of Lizzy and the Musi family, brought the idea to life as a way to honor her unmistakable spirit, competitive drive, and the joy she brought to fans across the drag racing world.

“This project means the world to our family,” said Pat Musi. “Lizzy raced with passion, purpose, and an energy that connected with people everywhere she went. ‘Norma Jeane’ captures that spirit perfectly. We’re grateful to Lemons Headers and everyone who poured their hearts into this tribute.”

Along with Lemons Headers, the “Norma Jeane” resto-mod was built using only the finest components trusted by Pat Musi Racing Engines, starting with an EFI-equipped, Edelbrock/Musi 555-cubic-inch crate engine. The build also includes products from ACL Race Series engine bearings, Red Line Oil, and Fuel Factory. The “Norma Jeane” ’68 Camaro is the latest project to roll out of Musi Muscle, an extension of Pat Musi Racing Engines which builds and restores muscle cars paired with high-horsepower Musi engines. Musi Muscle collaborated with A&W Performance Racing and Rice’s Performance on the build. 

“Norma Jeane” will be the centerpiece in the first-ever SEMA Show booth for Lemons, known for its hand-built headers and other exhaust components for high-performance American V8 applications. 

 “Working with Pat and the Musi family on ‘Norma Jeane’ has been both a joy and deeply emotional,” said Chuck MacDougall, Lemons Headers. “Lizzy’s authenticity inspired people far beyond the starting line. This car is our way of saying thank you – and ensuring her influence keeps accelerating new fans into the sport.”

The Musi family and Lemons Headers invite SEMA Show attendees to visit Booth #23655 to see “Norma Jeane” up close, meet Pat Musi, and join in celebrating Lizzy’s enduring impact on the sport and the community she loved. The Musi family will present the car to its new owners on Wednesday, Nov. 5, at 12 p.m. PT at the Lemons Headers booth.
