You can’t go wrong with a ‘70 Chevelle. Keep your Lambos and Hellcats, this is more than just a car, it’s a statement! 😍

Exactly best car sound ,,!

Much Respect to this guy..He did a big block with a manual Transmission..👍🏁

Going bigblock and 5 speed myself. I had a 350 then 383, went ls2 and then procharged ls2. But now i want something different than everyone else. So 540ci it is

Crazy Chevelle time! This never gets old : )

[@warrenmorgan3026]

Epitome of what a muscle car is and then he dropped a 502 in it......priceless!!!!

[@calvincooley1074]

Tight build! With those wheels I can picture this car with black bumpers just because I think ot would set the hoops off more. Lovely nastiness comes from the exhaust.

[@beauyo1293]

These chevelle videos keep my eyes on the target for my ‘69 chevelle build. I’m not made of money, so I know that I’m at least a couple of years away from completing the project, but these videos show me that what I’m working so hard to accomplish is well worth the time and money I’m putting into it.

[@theliftexpert]

When you can paint a 51 year old classic, black and it looks straight like that......you know the car is mint 🔥

A Chevelle deserves the 502

[@properteaproperty]

I'll never understand the people who click "thumbs down".. Even if the car isnt your thing.. You gotta admire the design/build and execution.. Jealousy perhaps? Center lock wheels look amazing.. I love the whole look of the car 😎👍

[@nishchaiydakhane9846]

Absolutely 💯

[@hawgfankc]

That's a sweet looking ride. Clean, simple and pure muscle car. It's got a lot of street presence. Badass indeed.

[@dannyal467]

youre right chevelle is for sure a real muscle car of the 70’s one of my favorites bad ass ride👍🏻🇺🇸😎

[@mcbm22]

Chevelle's Scream American Muscle....nothing like a big block 4 speed setup as well. I own 3 '70 versions right now..a cranberry red,cortez silver and mist green with plans to build a shadow gray and a fathom blue as well. Takes alot of time and patience to build but they are worth it in the end.

[@cuzz63]

You have video of them? Would love to see them.

[@RichSutherlandBB]

Dude I've been watching this channel since day one, part of the reason I started vlogging. And it's so cool to see you getting respect! " The godfather of muscle cars on the west coast" dude that's some serious love!

[@wes209]

Nice piece of trim. I'd stuff it.. Leave it wet and messy

Who else thought the drums during the intro was a blow-off valve at first? Another great video from AutotopiaLA featuring cool cars built by cool people.

[@dandorris8531]

Lucky me I have one. Also back in 87 I worked for a Chevy dealer. I bought a factory cowl induction hood with the flapper door and hood pin cut out. It had been stored in the upper attic storage of the dealership parts department since the 70s. It’s in the EPD black coating. Still have it today and never been mounted. Bad ass car love the traditional BB.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Awesome!! Sounds like an incredible find

[@andolinithedon]

I love how it 'rises' to the occasion with that power at the wheels

[@CJColvin]

The 70 Chevelle is definitely one of my favorite muscle cars of all time.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Same for me. Pure muscle even stock which this one definitely isn’t

[@reginalddopson1772]

Chevelle is number one I love myself some Chevelle especially the 70 other muscle cars is nice I don't take nothing from any of them I like the Camaro I like Mustang but Chevelle is number one and the 1970 71 is okay 72 is okay my favorites is 70.👍🏾🔥

[@bravofoxable]

Sweet ride man! This Chevelle really "gets up and go", so glad Nik enjoys the car now, perfect as is 👍🏻

[@RicoAdv3]

I'm excited for every upload, always great content! 🙏🏼🔥 keep up the good work man

[@FoxcastMedia]

I say this with all due respect as its a bad ass car: the wheels seem more suited to a tuner ride than a Chevelle. As always, to each their own, and respect to the owner for a bad ass ride! Epic vid as always AutotopiaLA

[@nik_karpage]

I hear you, I was getting this vibe from the beginning but pictures and videos doesn’t really do them justice... in person I think they look a lot more muscle car like

[@JimBronson]

I think they look good. Not every muscle car needs period correct wheels, I like the modern interpretations.

[@rahrah5268]

Now thats a super beast

CHEVELLE-NATION🇺🇸🔥 -California Chapter😎

[@nishchaiydakhane9846]

What an incredible machine this is. Absolutely badass Chevelle I have ever seen. With fantastic setup & perfect upgrades it’s a dynamic driving muscle car. Hats-off to Nik for blending the perfect balance of oldschool with advanced parts. Best of both worlds! Shawn is an icon in industry. Much respect man🙏🏻 love from India 🇮🇳

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you and I completely agree with this being an incredible build. And Nik is such a great guy!

[@unhappygilmore7129]

I'm more of a mid-60's Chevelle guy, but that is another incredible car. Great work!

[@marwannabe]

I've always struggled with non-period wheels, and low profile tires, even on muscle restomods, but he absolutely nailed it with these, especially with the redline tires... And them centerlocks!!! A unique touch... 🔥🔥🔥

502 just a mild build. Probably around 535+hp. The ones like small block LS. Which i do too. You can get heavy mod a 502 with twin turbos 3 - 6k hp. Depends how crazy you go. Big displacement easy power. highest Big Block power on rails dragsters 12k plus hp. Specially engines do 3 secs in quarter of mile over 300mph.
