700hp All Motor Big Block Camaro Old School Pure Muscle

[@hent1438]

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....

[@kskip4242]

​@@robertc4311Pony car is a designation made on wheelbase dipshit. Wheelbase don't change just because you have a big block 😅

[@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.

[@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.

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....

[@creativethought4]

That’s crazy, this car received more views than these high dollar builds. It’s a real simple build with nothing major with a cool guy. Its refreshing to see a muscle car without big rims or rest modded out, don’t get me wrong, it’s nothing wrong with custom cars but it’s nice to see dog dishes on a car.

[@ckhertz75]

Mane that's a total bad ass there. The thought of having an everyday car as well as race car is awesome

[@michaeljorden2457]

Finally a real muscle car without low profile tires and stupid rims. Beautiful!!!

[@arizonalifestylechannel2186]

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

[@ronaldhellengreen7063]

I was lucky enough to own a 69. I'm in my 60s now, and have been checking out 69s for decades now. Your stock looking non LS Big Block, black beauty is by far my FAVORITE! I Absolutely love everything about your 69. There's only one thing I would change. T/A RADIALS on the front. Oh ya, I'm not 6,5 so I would put the original buckets back in. You don't know how COOL it is to see young builders like yourself building big block late 60s muscle cars, and not turner cars. Would like to see more of your 69, and any other cars you have.

[@TheRealGiacomoKnox]

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

[@jamesborek8125]

F'n slow clap.. Omar has almost built my perfect 1969 Camaro and I've never even met the man. Absolutely love it!

[@pinotgrizio3567]

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

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love that sound!!

[@CALISPEC1]

Probably my favorite Camaro on the show, 572 big block power 🤟

[@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.

[@brandonwoods9866]

The car is perfect! Copo wheels...deep dish back wheels on 15 inch wheels. Beautiful!

[@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?

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.
