The best thing about this car is that it wasn't built to be the fastest or have obscene amounts of horsepower. It was built to be clean, drive fast, drive well, and look good...and it does ALL those things exceptionally well

[@bmi4464]

This is a great build, check out his chevelle if you haven't already

[@HandMadeWrath]

610hp isnt obscene to u?

[@vernonhampton6973]

@@HandMadeWrath Production Cars: 2023 Bugatti Chiron - 1578 hp 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 - 755 hp 2022 Dodge Challenger Jailbreak - 797 hp 2024 Lamborghini Revuelto - 1015 hp 2023 Koenigsegg Gemera - 1700 hp 2024 Lucid Air Sapphire - 1234 hp Tuner Cars: MKIV Toyota Supra - 1100 hp AMS Nissan GT-R Alpha - 1150 hp UR Lamborghini Aventador - 1600 hp Bisimoto Honda Odyssey minivan - 1029 hp ...so, no - 610 horsepwer is NOT obscene...

[@HandMadeWrath]

@@vernonhampton6973 ur comparing old tech with new tech. 600hp+ is obscene in general for a street purpose vehicle. You seen how many hell cats get crashed leaving the dealership? Have u actually driven anything 600hp? Its not a light number at all. If you listen to when he does burnouts and pulls hes not giving it 100% throttle at all.

[@HandMadeWrath]

@@vernonhampton6973 also consider this is a 60s car with power brakes & tubular a arms being the only modern upgrades. That car will scare tf out of the average person.

[@motherloverjones6008]

It's Tony "put your neck brace on" !!! I love how he builds cars.

[@dominicksforza3484]

This car is insane, 640hp is mello Tony?!? You wanna trade?!? I've got the '17 ZL1 Camaro changed the supercharger and putting down 647hp at the wheels 785hp at the crank. This is the simplest, sweetest '69 I've ever seen, keeping the interior stock 69, most would've put in a modern setup and IMO not looked as good as a stock 69 functional setup. That cassette is hilarious, they didn't have the power to fight wind noise much less that 502 at full boil. That idle is glorious!! For the record this car is more than "640 mild hp" he's underrating his car. Love your style Tony, entertaining the masses with this piece of art. Any problems with the cops on your rides burning up those rear tires?? Absolutely beautiful car.

Yes first Gen Camaro's had the option of electric windows. First Gen came the way it was ordered. Just like the Yenco. Had a 67 with a 12 bolt ,327 , two barrel , it was how it was ordered. Most of the time they came as a package. SS, RS, Z28 etc.

[@TheMotorman80]

Nice, that’s something I didn’t know! Makes sense seeing that it’s an RS/SS as they were usually well optioned.

No problem with breaking the tires loose, make it go and this guy doesn't play around. I would like to see it with a mini - tub rear so you could squeeze in a 345 or 335 rear tire, but on the other hand it would take the simplicity away from the car. Great job Tony looking forward to the next one. 👍🏁🏁😎

Brings back memories….My first car was a 1969 Silver Camaro with a 327 and a Hurst 4 Speed. I didn’t even know how to drive a manual when I bought it…my friend had to drive it home for me!😂 It’s still on my Bucket List to do a build similar to this. The new camaros may be super fast etc. and was excited when they first came out….then I sat inside one. Felt like I sitting in a hole with horrible outside visibility.

[@AutotopiaLA]

This is such a great old school build done with taste and class

[@justwingingit1]

@@AutotopiaLA Agreed! I too love the big block build option for obvious reasons but for myself I’d lean more towards a lightweight small block for better handling etc. My carburetion choice would be an electronic Weber setup…I heard a 289 Cobra with that set up and it made one of the most beautiful sounds I ever heard from an ICE! Someday…
