Garage Built Pro Touring '67 Camaro | Built to Drive Hard!

This is such a cool 1967 Camaro and it's been built and pounding the streets for close to 10 years and is still relevant and timeless. Mike started off doing all the bolt on components then ultimately went to a full Art Morrison set up, LS powered and made a Camaro that looks great but was built to autocross and street drive hard so sit back and enjoy the ride...

I can't believe how much this channel is slept on. Definitely one of the top all around car channels on KZbin. Should be over 1 million subs easy. Keep up the awesome work Shawn!

[@henrynwatu8132]

I agree, I look for new postings daily.

[@yuriray6249]

Whenever I get to watching it 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 something always surprises me. Keep up the awesome content.

[@fernysquirny3656]

I feel like this channel is for the mature car enthusiast who aren't entertained by clapped out infinites or Nissan 350z's lol. I respect all builds but these guys do hold a higher standard, and I'm not talking financially either.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you! Little by little we’re growing it. Maybe we should start shooting street takeovers or modern luxury brand vehicles and we’d grow faster lol!

[@simonmayle45-70]

@@AutotopiaLA lol no, keep doing what your doing already brother we love seeing these badass custom beauties.

[@JaredR1996]

Absolutely beautiful car. This channel is always killing it

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you. Definitely a cool driver car

[@ParissaKhoury]

​@@AutotopiaLA Is the owner ever planning on selling it? I would love to gift this to my boyfriend for his birthday

[@josephmatuszak3855]

This build is like one of those cracks at "what is the best drivers car for enjoyment and a deep auto enthusiast".... and hit it right out the park! Clapping - Worth clapping for. Tasteful, functional, thoughtful, easy interface, classis style.

[@zach_diecast_mansur]

400HP to 600HP in a street car is all you really need.

[@gordocarbo]

Hard to hook more on the st whats the point,,,,agree

[@shelbyavant5081]

Say it louder for the people in the back.

[@whatta7793]

Agreed, anything more kinda a waste just for some playing. Now if you're drag racing every weekend then sure, different story. For a daily that can have a little fun at a redlight or getting on the highway every now an then? 400-600 is perfect. Reliable, plenty of fun, nothing ridiculous, tons of drivability, etc.

[@Ballen1182]

Def 600, then

[@peaner083]

Very true yeah. Ive personally got 450 rwhp in my Holden Commodore, basically the same motor and iam quite happy with but will most likely do a few things to get to 500 one of these days

[@ljsites]

Not another ‘67 Camaro! No problem here. Love them!

[@romeyrome32]

I prefer second Gen Camaros but a well built first Gen is never a bad thing.

[@ericdolan2130]

Another perfect example of "Less is More". He nailed the look.

[@AutotopiaLA]

And he nailed the drivability as well

[@robsorgdrager8477]

In a rear drive application 500-600 at the tire with a wide sticky tire will require a killer chassis add a man-well trans mixer😮‍💨, that's a lot of work buuuut makes for a very dynamic vehicle. I'm currently working on a dodge charger AWD hemi pursuit. Goal is to have 500+ lbft at all 4 wheels and keep it " jump in and drive " . I will always love the regular guy builds , that said you get a guy that knows what to do but has the money for the " good parts " you will end up with a fantastic build. I LOVE that the owner doesn't let dust collect on this . Respect for using this what it's built for✌️🤙🤌🙏

[@chawalitD]

Mad respect to Mike for this build. I love the restraint he went to on the body in keeping it mostly classic 60s. The fact that this is a show car and still drives it like you should, is truly awesome. I love it and I'm a Ford guy.

[@AutotopiaLA]

My favorite kind of build is this. Looks, sounds and drives great!

[@genemounce8302]

The Porsche RS center caps and the RS 6.2 on the rocker ... 100% a Porsche fan !

[@aaron4757]

Looks corny

[@ryan.vision]

I can't get myself to modernize my 67 this much, but I absolutely love this car! Great job to the builder and thanks for documenting it so well.

[@buckreynolds1779]

Wow bench and three on the column ........never seen.......................like the paint

[@buckreynolds1779]

500 whp is plenty

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love what he did here

[@mg_streetkandi]

I definitely agree with his thought process on built the car..If you want to just have a good all motor setup and drive then his process work..All motor, good suspension and brakes..😎👍🏽🏁

[@AutotopiaLA]

Set up to drive and look good

[@grelkj]

When he said he swapped the cams out i yelled cam and immediately thought of that one video where the guy was like "its ma'am " 😂 clean car i love it! Can't wait to start on mine

[@riverrat130]

I love it !!! Mike is one talented dude. Perfect all around car. I love that he built the car in his garage. 500 to the wheels is all you need. Awesome car

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed all the way

[@Ballen1182]

"Maintenance and issues" are EXACTLY why i prefer naturally aspirated.

[@richardwarfield7386]

Simple and clean - I like the color

[@robertrusso877]

I was hooked once I saw the color! Can’t believe how old the paint is and it still looks this good.

[@AutotopiaLA]

10 years old and still looks great!

i am passionate abot the meticulous detailing of that car... sweet, parts and upgrades...

[@ryanperry9472]

What a great looking car!!!!! Love everything about this thing! Interior looks awesome. Crazy that the build is 10 years old. Looks like it was finished this year. Keep up the great videos! I watch every single one.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks! Blew me away that it’s a 10 year old build…still looks relevant and fresh

[@user-qh1yf3kl8n]

Man you have one of the best shows. No other like it. AWESOME! That Camaro is very nice & built the way it should be. That color in my mind will never go outdated.

[@dan3162]

Perfect build, absolutely usable and easy to see the difference versus someone chasing dyno numbers

[@carlos64030]

Beautiful car and it sounds fantastic!!! I love the simplicity of this build. When it comes to fun, usable horsepower for the streets, I too think that 500 - 600 at the crank is plenty for me, especially since none of my fun cars have traction control. With THAT said, what planet is this guy from?!?! Doood said the LS came out around 2014 and that's when LS swaps really kicked off. That is WAAAAAAY wrong! People were doing LS swaps way back in 1997 when it was first introduced.

[@AutotopiaLA]

You’d have to ask Mike about his timing reference but sure is a cool drivers car

[@micheandmikey]

I just commented on this on the IG page.....I compared it to the 911 of a Camaro ....this car is so friggin beautiful!!!! I have lots of favorites on your channel....this one is right up there in the top 5. AWESOME car Mike....good name! (same) 👊 Also....67 = Better Off Dead baby!

[@jimmiecarter3099]

This is a really nice car. I plan on painting my V wagon this color

[@hotrod2321]

My opinion the perfect car. I have a Camaro it has about four hundred and fifty horsepower and it is perfect for me. Great video has always.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks and totally agree!

[@PETERNESS]

Mike ,i hope your reading this comment ,mate you have the most beautiful Camaro its just perfect ,the colour the wheels the driveline the lot ,much love and respect from Australia and damm you did it near all yourself ,outstanding,its Stropeworthy

[@cabaneencac5168]

Well done for keeping the bodywork as is without swelling . Drip rail included . No unnecessary stripes here, just the right choice of color . For nickpicking : not a big fan of the silver grommets and prefers a gear lever planted directly on the carpet without any console around all on beautiful graphite gray wide steelies with dish hub cap.

[@EnriqueSilvaLOBEZNO]

conducir ese camaro es un sueño me encanto

[@Ccm10000]

My favorite Camaros,1st gen ‘67-‘68 🔥

[@walter9724]

Dude you share some kick ass cars and some of the best are camaros. I have a 63 slammed vw beetle with a 1987 Porsche 911 turbo engine. I wanted to keep the stock engine but my mate called me and said he had a 911 come into his auto wrecker yard here in Australia and said he wanted a vw engine for his vw bus and he wwpuld straight swapped the untested Porsche engine. The vw engine had been overhauled before I bought it so I knew it ran. Long story short I've done a ground up restomod built of the car and installed will wood disc brakes and vintage air air-conditioning. The interior I've gone for the high gloss paint look with vinayl pads instead of carpet and they are held down with billet aluminium frames and countersunk stainless screws. Behind the rear seats is extra heat and sound deadening. I installed power windows and it rides on custom air bags made by an Australian company. Only color I wanted was article white and nardo gray.The front hood has white scallops with purple pinstripe edging its got a white all metal sunvisor and all the chrome has been redone. Its also got a custom push start button that looks like a stock item my mate made for me. The power windows are operated by pushing up or down on stock billet looking handles. The build took me 5 years in between other builds and I haven't had it on the dyno yet, but it being a 3.3L engine with a slightly larger turbo I'd say it would make around 380-390bhp. It gets down and boogies that's for sure and the engine note from the stainless exhaust is sensational. I have done the build in memorial to my late father who passed away not long after I took him for a drive in it. First time I saw him shed a tear when I showed him the Porsche engine. As Porsche was his favorite car ever. I sure miss him a lot and the car won't ever be sold and I built a single garage for it and all of the car memorabilia that my dad owned and couldn't display as my parents house wasn't big enough. The car gets driven on sunny weekends only and the cost of the build was a lot especially the gorgeous paint. But every cent and late night working on it was worth it.

[@eujeniu8527]

Very very nice car! Porsche type on the front fender looks interesting and proves the owner's aspiration for Porsches.

[@Moe-Jo]

Great build!!!! I love this channel. It's always a great thing to see when passion and focus meet. You get that build!!!!

It’s actually a split bench seat automatic on the column and is a really rare option. Sad to see it changed, but to each there own. I also own a 67 camaro with this option, the red one in my name field

[@Whiskey_Ridge_1776]

With it being a one owner with those options it should have went to a collector.

[@sqrlnts1]

​@user-tx6rs7ny1q 😂 Yeah the car should be locked up in a building because it had a bench seat from the factory. 😅 The car is doing what it "should".
