.12 seconds Leaving high school sideways each day in the late 70’s 🤘

I love the 68 chevelle tha most of all,because those skiny tail lights. My sisters husband had this year, and at 11 years old riding in that thing was so cool. He had it jacked up with big wide tires on tha back, thin up front.....on chrome craiger rims. I remember being in the back seat singing songs played on the radio, and his EQ jumpn...red yellow green lights. 6x9s rockn in tha back,5n quarters in tha.doors. those days were tha best ever. Love your videos. Thanks

Less is more. THIS is how I like my musclecars. Another great video.

Stanced perfectly. 15 inch GM steelies. Amazing.

I like this more then the 500k builds... you aren’t scared to drive it and do burn outs in it...

I always said, "if it looked good from the factory, why change it?"

man - that car is freakin boss. the stance is perfect - the ride is simple and clean. its damn near perfect.

That Chevelle is absolutely beautiful and the straight-up steel rally wheels look badass! Love it!

Sometimes less is more. I love the simplicity of this car. No fancy chrome wheels or over the top interior. Just plane Jane muscle.

I keep coming back to this video. I LOVE how he built this Chevelle. Perfect!

I had a 1968 chevelle when i was 15 yr old! And I'm still in love with chevelles

That is how I would prefer to own a car no modern upgrades keep it classic.

Thank you for that drive! Sounds like power from the get go!! The shifting of gears even sounded muscly when you hit 2nd gear, that chirp is music to my ears!! I had ‘71 Chevelle automatic transmission that would chirp 2nd gear, sometimes a light chirp for 3rd gear if I was on it hard and nasty!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! I want another one so bad! But due to my money, being on disability and all, might not happen unless “Santa” is feeling like he wants to help me out!? LOL!! This would be my “make a wish” dream come true!! 🙏🏻 ✌️🎅

What a nice build. Prefer this over those over the top builds. Thank you Shawn for showing us this beauty

Give me the 66 through 1970 Chevelle was one of my favorite cars. It had a full frame and everything bolts to it. There were lots of them around and a plethora of parts for cheap. You could just wait till your buddy stacked his and go buy what you needed off him. You know help a brother out. Big block small block 4-speed sway bars posi steel rims. Dollar per horsepower a better buy than anything else around. Heavy enough that you felt safe at a hundred and ten miles an hour. Strong enough that you could abuse the living shit out of it. My favorite was a gold 66 I had. It always had different engines and transmissions in it. It was like the Chevelle kit. You could put it together all sorts of different ways. Sliding left, sliding right, donut clockwise, counterclockwise figure 8, what a great greasy sled, Smokey toasty, banging gears and fucking with with the radio, just burning tire until you let up. No 12s without cheater slicks or wrinkle walls, Low 13's and that big block come on. The big block lunge. It's like when the weight catches up with the inertia and the RPMs Dancing from 3rd gear into 4th. Hours of enjoyment. Some sloppy loose big block you got from a wrecking yard, with an intake Cam and headers, ready to be beaten to within an inch of its miserable life. Routinely, some big block that came out of somebody's flat bottom boat. Frankenstein Big Blocks. Big Blocks out of Caprices or old Impalas, loose 396 with a 427 cam. Why won't this thing blow? This thing should blow. Maybe you're not beating it right? Quick to the cow fields. Smoking weed, drinking beer, listen to The Rolling Stones, Cross up competition, drifting, drifting, drifting look out for the cow, drifting

I'm watching this in 2020 for the first time. My first car was a 68' SS 396 4 speed with 456 gear. That beast would pick the front wheels off the ground. It's now 43 years later and seeing this .. I want one again, well at least for a long weekend ! Woo!! NICE!!!

ignore the internet haters...they dont understand how expensive a real car build is cause they are just honda kids that think all cars start at $5000

Those transmissions are a blast to drive!

I had a 67 and 69 Chevelle, boy i wish i still had them. i am 60 years old and still have pictures of the parked in front of my house where i grew up in Philly.

I love it! This is a bad ass 68! Beautiful and strong all the way around loward to perfection! Easily worth the $$$ thanks for the view!

Awesome car !!!! Late 60s chevelle have been my fav car , this one is really done right. Has it where it counts , Motor, the stance , the rally wheels . So simple , but that’s what makes it so unbelievable . Please show us more of these builds , and keep up the great work man !!! 👍

Love how Dennis preserved the originality. The designers in those days really knew what they we doing. This car won't look like a dated build in 5, 10 or 20 years.

When I was 18 I bought a Chevelle SS 396 375 horse in Phantom Blue so this video really takes me back in time. I will never forget the sensation and sound from dual glass paks when I kicked in the 4 bbl. It was a great period of time.

Great episode. Your enjoyment of this car was tangible. Genuine & sincere. Nice job.

I love the Chevelles and this is a cool ride. I totally get the build cost vs the value.. I think any car that you put in $100k isn't really about the money (for resale purposes), it's about the value of the car to the owner. Keep going my man!

That's about as close to perfection as you can get for that car. Nothin outrageous. The power is there but not too extreme. Great sound nice & mild yet you can hear it. This guy knew what he was doin with this car.

Now that's a car worth spending 100k on. I LOVE that he kept it old school, that could have basically been done in 68. This is how old hot rods should be restored. To many of these modern builders ruin these classic muscle cars by turning them into resto rods.

if u freeze around 8:32 you can see the tire sizing, 275's in the rear and 235's in the front

Now that the smoking tire is done, this might be my new favorite channel. Good stuff man keep it up!

Damn, I love this Car. I'm a Pontiac guy, but this raw old school Chevelle is just perfect. The definition of muscle car. Nice vid.

For years I've said that I was born twenty years to late. I can't stand these newer designs and that's why I own older vehicles. Thanks Shawn for sharing these cool experiences and bringing back some of my childhood memories. My childhood days are the days of which I wish were my young adult years. Who really is crazy enough to pay for these over priced rolling pieces of modern crap these days?

That's sick luv it.Just hearing the engine growling give me goosebumps

I'd love to see some vintage race cars, drag cars, etc. Anything with race history really interests me.

I’m 5 years late on this video, but I’m blown away with this built. Very simple But an true muscle car!

Yea, I'm 59 and been hot rodding since the late 70s, this is how I roll. There is something about a naturally asperiated engine. I'm running a 1975 firebird with a 1973 front clip and ram air hood, 1972 455HO, M-21 4 speed. Very nice ride, thanks for posting, she sounds sweet. 👍👍🏁🏁

I think 68 was best year for chevelle

What a beast, I love this car, she's prefect and how good does it look. Great build 👍🏻

Don't worry about the people who cry about the builds . The owners are the ones spending cash not the crybabys. Keep up the awesome content and just do what you do brother . Show us bad ass rides and the experience of riding in them . Awesome content and never ever boring. Your channel kicks ass

It just reminds me of highschool. These cars were everywhere! Then all of a sudden they dissapeared.

Hey man. You're a great guy. One of the main reasons I subbed.

A 68 300 Chevelle with a factory big block and 4 wheel disk brakes..... ooooookay.

Two words.... Real Car!! I love the whine of the transmission and a lot more than just crazy loud exhaust.... Just something different! I've seen a lot of interior is redone but I'd have to say stock usually looks a lot better look how clean that is!! Just looks amazing... Nice time machine!

Dad hade a 68 Chevelle 327,but he was a transmission guy. Loved to hear it chirp. Hell,he made his huntning van chirp.

Love the steel wheels.

That car is badass. The transmission is the same as tractor trailer transmission’s. You synchronize the shift points with engine rpm.

I like these wheels and tires on this car so much better than more expensive bigger wheels!

Definitely reminds me of the street races in the 70's... Love the plain jane look as well...

Soo cool thanks for sharing with us Dennis & Shawn. One awsome muscle car ! Love the engine.

F’ing yes!

Love that trans whine , it sounds so raw . . miss my 68 Chevelle's , this really takes me back .

Don't you ever think it's about anything but classics.55 Chevy is my dream car followed by a 69 Nova with a 350-427.😎✌🙏

That’s one badass ride!

Damn good looking car and sounds amazing, nice video bro

Love these beautiful chevys . Thanks for bringing them to us , Autotopia .

Very nice car and THANK YOU for doing real burnouts and not brake stands like everyone else on KZfaq (which any car can do).

Old School I see you

Another great video bro! Keep em coming!

That is a beautiful car. I personally would have added A/C for comfort for the family but , yeah . Perfect stance. Perfect tire and wheel package which factory usually looks the cleanest and unadulterated. As Cartman says…. “Shweet.”

It doesn't get any better than this. I find the what ifs using mainly factory parts produce some great looking cars.

a beautiful car, i can see where a lot of the $100k went - was spent removing the '68 specific side trim and filling the holes.... could have spent less starting with a '69. that's what i thought it was until i saw the vent windows, don't need A/C with vents. still it's a beautiful car

Friend built 69 chevelle. He is about 32 deep in it. Its 454 4spd. Ground up and some good friends helping. Ok. You got 1 more sub. Great vids.

Excellent video & recording angles, thank you! Hearing the whine coming out of the 4-speed as your going down the road reminds me of the ‘55 Chevy in “Two Lane Blacktop”, that noise was very obvious in that car as well. Gotta love the old school combination of a 4-speed behind a carbureted Rat Motor! Good Day Everyone!

I get to take my Grandad's LS5 Stingray one day a week in summer. I just brought it back into the hangar and I GOT THE FEVER! Tell Dennis I like his style.

Beautiful car just the way it is.

Nice Chevelle bro ☝

I really love that model, I test drove a nice one owner teal blue 68 Chevelle in 1975 and wanted it bad! It was a SS 396/325, but it certainly had plenty of power. I can't imagine the same car with double the ponies! The only thing I didn't particularly care for were the bench seats. The muncie 4-speed stick curved drastically around the bench, but shifted very nicely. Like this one, it had manual brakes and steering, and it was absolutely brutal to steer and stop for a 17 year old! I had to stomp on the brakes with both feet which was sort of scary. I would definitely go with the power steering and disc brake upgrade, he did it all right on this build. I wouldn't change a thing, well worth the 100k he invested.

I wonder why there's controversy? I JUST LOVE SEEING ALL THE CARS!!! And thank you!!

I remember when he first got the car!

Great looking car. If all the labor is sourced to do the build it would probably be 100k easily. If one does the build himself he could save substantial amounts of money. Labor is very expensive.

First video,I like how straight up this guy is and his commentary flows very naturally.

love this car. thanks for showing us the car , defiantly worth 12:37 of my day

That my favorite car old school with I'm so 69 Chevy

I'm in love with this one!!

Wow that old school Chevelle is awesome perfect nothing is missing

I like this build! Reminds me of high-school auto class.

What is the rear tire size. I love Camaros and Chevelles. ✔ .

The noise!

I'd say this Chevelle is done extremely well. Nothing but 1st class OG flavor in this build.

I had the 1968 SS396 Chevelle 4speed exactly like that one in high school, wish i never sold it. Now i looking for another one to build! Very cool car

Very cool!

What’s the wheel and tire set up? I want them for mine.

Your face when you see the cops....kkkk. Bro, you are amazing man, i tell it forever. Show to us all this cars. This old school with this transmition....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Make me remember when i drive a V8 car for the first time. Congratulations to the Chevelle owner and to you buddy. Thanks again.

Enjoyed going back and watching this. Clean and simple. I dig it.

Nice car Could you tell me the tire sizes? This wheels look great on it

Mr. Shawn, any chances to get your hands on 67 4 door impala with 427 or 454 engine. yes, you know why.

Came back to watch this again, just an awesome car.

a big block chevy laying rubber with a prius and a tesla in the shot, love it! haha

anybody thats ever had a car built knows the budget can get as high as the owners money can go, i wouldve guessed more than 100k for that build depending on what they started with

My next project has to be a chevelle or 70 nova

My absolute dream car. 68-69 Chevelle.

Absolutely love that car yes I’m old-school to. Love color best color for 68 Chevelle

Notice how it never hit a wall or another car or even some spectators during the burnouts? It's not a mustang...

Heard to believe even a simple build like this still cost 100k very discouraging

You Sir are, 100% correct about how much it costs to do these cars. I did a stock 1930 Model A Ford Coupe....that car stood me close to $18,000 and I did not pay for the finished body work or the paint , a very dear friend of mine did it for free in his shop. If I were to sell that car, I would be lucky if I could get $16,000 for it.

This is how I like them, clean and close to stock in appearance with a nice stance and tire combo.

Wow factory manual four wheel disc. Unheard of

9k already Shawn

Just a plain and simple Chevelle !!!!! Beautiful nice excellent real muscle and forever!!!!!!

very cool combo: raw visceral power + super clean classic lines. 100K is not unrealistic considering worksmanship. Well done !

Fathom blue, not Phantom blue
