That pro-touring 68 Camaro with that LSX engine looks badass and sounds badass as well.

[@GLHS592]

This is your best video yet. There's nothing to dislike about this sweet Camaro. I watched Erick banging the gears more than once. I loved it when he looked over at Sean for his reaction while he was still in it! The man can sure handle his car. It sounds like he is an excellent role model.

[@Borderline5440]

* 500WHP Camaro * "It's not fast." Dude's living the dream! So glad he put a manual behind it.

[@famousmidnight]

"He" didn't put a manual behind it. He bought the car like that. But yes, perfect setup for a restomod

This car was sold by Joshua Anthon from Rio Linda, California. Guy sells amazing cars on Craigslist and has a KZbin channel under his name. I thought I recognized this car. It’s awesome and congratulations on it. Dennis, you should check out Joshua’s cars. He has a restomod 69 charger you should check out!!

[@apbt067]

That man got that attitude in his facial expression when driving. Gotta love a guy that actually drives his car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

He does and he drives everything like this!

[@hawiianpwr]

This dude is badass, love his story.

[@ttown918]

Once again, white (yes, I know, this is a close "gray") comes through as about the best color there is for any car IMO. This Camaro and those like it in this resto-mod V8 class are just the best smile generators.

[@TheSmellofGas]

That interior is badass!

[@bryanluntz1603]

Has a great subtle business look about it I agree with ya Shawn 500 to the ground Great power

[@bernzie001]

He loves it and its great the way he looks over to see the reaction as hes nailing it. So cool

[@Cyber_Nomad01]

5:30 smoked that clutch.

[@RB25luv]

Exactly 💯💯💯 front smoke

[@fdguy1412]

🤣

[@ericdebisz9458]

You saw that too. I was scrolling down to see if real car ppl saw that. That things taxed. He was slamming gears after that and she's just soft. 500hp and a tight clutch she's ice-skating down that street.

[@XCVi_MAC]

That’s the best year for the camaro

[@alexb-yn6ns]

Honestly tho I like the 67 better because of the vent window but basicallythe same car. The 69 isn't overrated but it gets the most attention out of the 1st gen.

[@trashbandit2449]

1969 is still my favorite, the lines of the side perfect it but this is a beautiful car. Don't usually like white but this is perfect

[@XCVi_MAC]

Tbh I like them all! The 93-2002 would be my least favorite, but with the right modifications any camaro could be made sexy.

[@lawrenceturlej4772]

69 is far nicer. The grill and rear look amazing i think

[@DKLabs99]

‘67 doesn’t have the side marker lights. Makes it a little cleaner. But any first gen is sweet.

[@lukelambert4595]

One of my favorite episodes. I am in love with that Camaro and that dude seemed like a real good guy. I was loving watching him rowing through the gears having the time of his life.

[@DesertRunner602]

I’m not a fan of modern interiors in classics, but the craftsmanship is top notch.

[@foadrightnow5725]

Why in the hell do so many builders of classic cars improve nearly every aspect of the car except for the most crucial one...passenger restraints? To give a car built in the 60's or early 70's(you know, the ones with mediocre crash integrity, zero ABS or ANY form of traction or stability control) MORE power without significantly beefing up passenger restraints, including head rests, is damn near criminal! I don't give a shit if people think it looks better, or cooler without them! The first thing I think of when I don't see them is "Who's the dumbfuck idiot that signed off on this blatant oversight?" Unless the vehicle is a show piece and never sees the road, you HAVE to have restraints!
