Inside Sydney Sweeney’s Vintage Car Garage

If you ended up now enamored by Sydney Sweeney in Euphoria, you may want to seem absent now, due to the fact she’s about to get a great deal, substantially cooler.

The actress is a vintage car or truck aficionado—and not just from afar. She collects exceptional, outdated designs finds new areas online and restores the automobiles herself. If you happen to be imagining that appears like an previous-university boys’ sport, gear up, due to the fact periods are shifting, and Sweeney’s TikTok, syds_garage, is proof.

“I’ve always been a big lover of classic autos,” Sweeney tells BAZAAR.com at eBay Motors’ New York Vehicle Parts Display at Common Vehicle Club Manhattan, wherever we admire her freshly restored cherry pink Bronco. “My babysitters (twin sisters) when I was tiny really used to be race motor vehicle drivers, and I’d go to the observe a great deal, and I thought I was likely to be a race car or truck driver when I grew up.”

Sweeney knows her interest has drawn eyes since of how “random” and rare it feels for a Gen Z girl, but she hopes her openness about it will help crack down the gender roles that exist inside the classic car world and reinforces the actuality that girls really don’t have limits.

“I assume folks just have to not be scared of putting on their own in a male-dominated setting,” she says. “Like, I know that there’s so substantially I have to learn, and I consider it is really ok to not know all the things. You only find out if you are there and you happen to be placing oneself there, so I assume if we just assistance girls and press them to try harder and challenge on their own, we’ll get there.”

There’s no glittery Euphoria glam or metallic eye shadow in sight, fairly she retains it simple with black eyeliner and leaves her hair down in gentle, informal waves.

“This is the very first time anyone’s looking at it,” she says of her 1969 Ford Bronco, as she caresses its aspect and gazes at it as if it were her to start with child—which, in a sense, it is. On her TikTok, the actress has been sharing films of her fixing up the car—her initial major restoration project—inside her very best friend’s father’s automobile shop. Coincidentally, that friend’s father is Rod Emory, whose Emory Motorsports business has been generating Outlaw Porsche 356s since the ’90s.

“He builds and restores the most wonderful vintage Porsches, and I someway certain him to enable me have my Bronco in the shop—because he only does Porsches,” Sweeney says. “So he cleared out a little segment for me, and he walked me via, and … he and the folks in his store helped me and taught me how to do anything, mainly because there is so a great deal to find out, and I never know every little thing at all.”

“It really is really particular,” she adds, pausing to determine if she would like to expose extra. “Rod’s content I’m performing it.” That’s it. Our female, the movie star, the true true mechanic, is restoring a Porsche. Oh, the TikTok information.

In the meantime—as if she didn’t have an overall Hollywood occupation to focus on as well—Sweeney is also correcting up a infant blue 1967 Ford Mustang, which she’s named Britney. The attractive classic car or truck has produced a number of appearances on Sweeney’s TikTok currently, and she says the restoration is not going to consider extensive, she’s “just likely to alter out the motor.” Everyday.

Even though admiring the other autos in the good deal at eBay Motors’ first Auto Parts Display in New York—a brilliant blue Hellcat Pacifica minivan, a six-wheel ’90s Ford Ranger, and a Prius hybrid by racer Emelia Hartford—the actress shares she won’t be able to hold out to have a whole garage crammed with vintage dream cars. “I would enjoy to accumulate them,” she claims. It truly is far too tricky to select a beloved, but when I request her what Cassie’s excellent auto would be, she says, “I truly feel like Cassie would just really like to be in Nate’s truck.”
