The true definition of a muscle car. I love how he went with the COPO look. Understated, but potent.

[@hent1438]

@Skip R Pony Car is a Mustang thing. Other cars such as the Camaro was indirectly given that name because it was similar in size. Car folks or not, no one referrers to a 427 big block COPO or a ZL-1 as a pony car. And definitely not a beautifully restored version with a 572.

[@robertc4311]

@Skip R Nope. That’s Mustangs and Camaros with small blocks. When they have big blocks...they ain’t pony cars. They cross over to muscle car....

[@rosco664]

I like this guy's style. In a world of LS engines being dropped in everything this man keeps it old school. 👍

[@markwilliams5606]

Back in my day. Show it. Drive it!.

[@benking9627]

Old guy here, that's how we used to do'em.... In garage finish couple passes on Friday & Sat. All week tinker, Friday pull it out and do it again. Just good natured fun, with liked minded people.. Nice ride, O.

You hit right on the head old timer😂

[@micahcastillo9113]

That Camaro is absolutely badass!

[@nickp701]

This is done perfectly. The stance, color and the entire setup is just amazing excellent build.

[@Hype679]

He's got it set up to look like an old COPO Camaro. Thing has to be a crazy sleeper on the strip.

[@Gdesign959]

Totally agree. That thing is perfection.

[@edwinrosa4632]

Excellent

[@harryfaircloth4513]

Only thing I would change is the yr model, iam parcel to the '68.

[@mura0]

the pure definition of a muscle car...those big fat tires, the stance, the wheels.

[@internallycombusted1]

camaro without an LS and has normal size wheels, instant click

[@kylec166]

Yeah something not so over the top and a lot of money old cars should be some what up graded but not so crazy that the average person could afford.

LS swapping a classic car hurts me inside

I love this comment!

[@darronlewark6504]

Hub caps are sexy!

[@AZCobraman]

You said it! I can't wait for the Dub Craze to be over with. Fix that steering wheel and the dig gauges and it'd be perfect.

[@boston7704]

This guy took the idea of a COPO and made a freaking awesome restomod. Every part of this car is just “right”. …and I love that he drives the snot out of it.

[@lexustech48]

I want to like this hard, but it's already at 69 likes. So, have a like here to preserve the number.

[@Strawman333]

I like this a bunch. Omar's got taste. Nice.

[@CaydensDaddy91]

Yes 100% only downfall to me is the bumpers need to be chrome to match the wheelwell trim and the dog dishes beside that this is a nice ass tasteful build here

[@paytonc3532]

@@CaydensDaddy91 not feeling the digital dash and the front seats are all right.

[@RandyJM21]

Dude seems cool as hell. Cars great but the owner is just very cool which makes the car even cooler . Car suits him .Nothing tacky and just straight forward . Good episode . Wish this dude all the best.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Omar is awesome. Class guy and built a great car too

[@kevinwells4888]

Being an old timer, I never have liked it when classic muscle cars are "updated". This one is the exception. Great job!

[@danmyers9372]

@Skip R - Give it a rest. No one cares.

[@bradbroemmer9085]

@Skip R, hey Skippy. You need to read a few muscle car books before you open your mouth. Because you sure as Hell don't know what you're talking about. And besides, do you have a car that can top this badass Camaro? We doubt it.

[@kevinwells4888]

@Skip R Well SkippeR, you say Potato I say...

[@shanebrbich5698]

@Skip R Yeah skip....we get it! I think if it’s a small block, yeah! But big blocks ain’t ponies! They’re on steroids if they are!

[@Warrior_Resisting_Colonialism]

@Skip R Challengers, stangs and camaros can be muscle cars too. Just because they are pony cars, doesn't mean they can't be muscle cars. You can turn a luxury car into a muscle car if you want to also. When it comes to muscle cars, just like rock music, no one follows your rules. Your rules are made to be broken. This car is 100% muscle car. Consider your pony car rule shattered.

[@TheRealGiacomoKnox]

Thank G-D, that actually LOOKS like a Camaro. No silly detailing, no aftermarket wheels, exterior and interior just about classic

[@Kevin_747]

This guy nailed it. The dog dish caps and steelies are perfect. That racing gas is the best cologne.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed and yeah, love the smell of race gas

[@eliteharrington7377]

1:00 "I got the car just about when I started following you on Autotopia." Take a bow Shaun, Omar's car is raw and she certainly has a mean roar.

[@brianclausen9999]

This is by far my favorite Camaro I've seen so far. This is a beautiful work of art!

[@vanPoll]

This is a real masterpiece. A perfect Camaro.

[@arizonalifestylechannel2186]

WOW!!!!!!!! This is my favorite car on the show so far. That and that kids Nascar powered Camero

[@coloradokid808]

Nothing sounds like an old school big block, Very cool and looks great too.

[@csr801996]

The 572 big block has only been around since 2003, I'd hardly call that old school

[@coloradokid808]

@@csr801996 That's because you don't have a clue what you are talking about ,It's a new block but. It's old school design (NOT AN LS or LSX) same design as a 60's or 70' motor!

[@dakotaautosales9673]

@@csr801996 That block has been around since day one you have to stroke a motor to get 572 in³ And they were doing that in the sixties buddy

[@csr801996]

Go back and read his comment moron. He said nothing sounds like an old school big block. It don't matter what people were doing to their engines in the old days, that design 572 wasn't around then. Nobody was punching there 454 to 572, except for maybe some hard-core drag racers who had a load of cash laying around. Even if some people were driving around back in the day how many do you thing you would actually hear drive by? They are a crate engine and I've never seen one driving around in person, every chevy around here is a 350 with a hot cam to make people think they are running big power but most are not.

[@demiurgeobzen327]

@@csr801996 So basically he's not wrong, you even said so yourself that only a few people sitting on excess cash were punching out their motors to that high of a displacement, just not many. Do you make it a point to contradict yourself or are you just plain stupid?

[@pinotgrizio3567]

That sound, that deep rumble it’s so good. It really sounds like a lion’s roar.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love that sound!!

[@chrishart2064]

My favorite year camaro, beautiful and beastly. I love it!

[@cyrus7210]

I'm 61,had a '69 Z/28, my best friend in highschool had a '69 SS/RS 375HP 396. I've seen quite a few Camaros in my time. Yet here it is.... The Badass Camaro to end any discussion about whose got the Baddest Camaro out there....Well...here it is... this thing has the look, the stance,the sound,the idle, motor,drive train and the intent the owner has... It just don't get badder than this....

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Man, this one just squats on those meats & goes, all the while making all kinds of glorious noise! I love it!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yea it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Ritalie]

WOW I absolutely love this. This is one of my top 10 favorite looking muscle cars of all time. The styling is absolutely period correct and on point, and doesn't have the cheap race car look where someone just rips out the entire interior to save 40 pounds. The whole part of owning a muscle car is the vintage style and beauty, and this captures it. The soft door panels, the vintage tires, the vintage wheels and hubcaps, and the white lettering on the tires, everything is just perfect.

[@TwinTurboRamAir]

Everything about this car is built perfect.

[@dmkorba]

This guy knows a Camaro Love the pics of him as a kid!

[@omarlovejoy9086]

Thanks David,, that’s actually my son he rode with me to get the car 3 years ago

[@jayh9635]

I hate most Camaro's out there. But I'm digging this one a lot! Props to Omar for not sticking an LS in there! And props to whoever did the body and paint work on it! Looks smooth and nicely gaped from what I can see on the video!

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s clean but still a driver. I love that he went big block in it. I love LS’s but it’s refreshing to see and hear that big block!

[@jayh9635]

@@AutotopiaLA Keep the videos coming! Great work as always! Do you have any videos of the shop that you shoot at!? A lot of really nice cars in there! I'm sure if you haven't done a video of it yet? A lot of people think the same as I do!

[@lixingzhao5931]

Love this car. While the high tech restomods and pro touring muscle cars are cool, it’s great to see an old school period correct muscle car like this one. And it looks right at home in Southern California, where people used to drag race cars like this on weekends at their local drag strips.

[@oxyfee6486]

I have a 67 RS ,and I love this car,well done.

[@andrewipp426]

Nasty Big Block, damn that is the purist “basic” muscle dare I say that he built it to drive to the track, race, and then drive home .....that’s a such an amazing garage build all done by the owner. He did such an incredible job on his car!

I love pure motor hot rods! My first car was a 1979 Camaro with a 305. I upgraded it to a 383 stroker with ported and polished 882 iron heads. Before I left for basic training I had a set of Airflow Research heads on order. Someone decided they needed my motor more than me and stole it from garage. My dad canceled the AFR order and contemplated how to break it to me. I haven’t owned a hot rod since.

[@omarlovejoy9086]

Damn that’s terrible man

How did someone remove your motor from the car and noone saw? Had a bodyshop do that to me.
