This Camaro is a backyard built hot rod that Omar takes to the drag strip and actually drag races it, so sit back and enjoy the ride..

The true definition of a muscle car. I love how he went with the COPO look. Understated, but potent.

@hent1438 2 жыл бұрын

@Skip R Pony Car is a Mustang thing. Other cars such as the Camaro was indirectly given that name because it was similar in size. Car folks or not, no one referrers to a 427 big block COPO or a ZL-1 as a pony car. And definitely not a beautifully restored version with a 572.

@Skip R Nope. That’s Mustangs and Camaros with small blocks. When they have big blocks...they ain’t pony cars. They cross over to muscle car....

@Skip R Challengers, stangs and camaros can be muscle cars too. Just because they are pony cars, doesn't mean they can't be muscle cars. You can turn a luxury car into a muscle car if you want to also. When it comes to muscle cars, just like rock music, no one follows your rules. Your rules are made to be broken. This car is 100% muscle car. Consider your pony car rule shattered.

Go back and read his comment moron. He said nothing sounds like an old school big block. It don't matter what people were doing to their engines in the old days, that design 572 wasn't around then. Nobody was punching there 454 to 572, except for maybe some hard-core drag racers who had a load of cash laying around. Even if some people were driving around back in the day how many do you thing you would actually hear drive by? They are a crate engine and I've never seen one driving around in person, every chevy around here is a 350 with a hot cam to make people think they are running big power but most are not.

WOW I absolutely love this. This is one of my top 10 favorite looking muscle cars of all time. The styling is absolutely period correct and on point, and doesn't have the cheap race car look where someone just rips out the entire interior to save 40 pounds. The whole part of owning a muscle car is the vintage style and beauty, and this captures it. The soft door panels, the vintage tires, the vintage wheels and hubcaps, and the white lettering on the tires, everything is just perfect.

I love pure motor hot rods! My first car was a 1979 Camaro with a 305. I upgraded it to a 383 stroker with ported and polished 882 iron heads. Before I left for basic training I had a set of Airflow Research heads on order. Someone decided they needed my motor more than me and stole it from garage. My dad canceled the AFR order and contemplated how to break it to me. I haven’t owned a hot rod since.
