Something wicked this way comes! Didn’t know Mercury was making auto engines now. Sounds soooo awesome. Can’t for a final video.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

MAN! That thing sounds like a BEAST, & I love the color choices.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, the colors are incredible and that engine 😎

[@Nomah1979]

Holy crap that motor has so much potential, imagine sticking a supercharger or dual turbos on that thing

[@CamaroRick]

Truly one of a kind I dont see any hackery. Well done!

[@Calislav96]

Camaro Rick this build is one massive hack

[@turbo6598]

Fascinating fascinating fascinating a real car Enthusiast would never know what kind of motor is this is .this motor don't sound normal but will turn heads straight fire on this build

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed. Very cool choice vs LS and go

[@HemiBurns]

Absolutely amazing

[@AutotopiaLA]

Agreed. Can’t wait to see it done

[@dleebrd]

Where can I find the white plastic paint protection material? I'm planning on a winter project on my '69 Chevelle and would like something like that to protect my paint.

[@gasratzcustoms]

love your builds!

[@AutotopiaLA]

They’re killing it on this

[@rxlo1062]

Looks amazing 👍

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yeah, this is a killer build

[@princesssolace4337]

This build is pure Lord of the Sith automobile💪

[@job4391]

Thank you for keeping a door handle!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very cool to work these in here

[@lsvip1820]

Looking forward to seeing this 👊👊

[@Locoandchooch]

Can’t wait to see it when it’s done. That’s pretty amazing. Haven’t seen anything like that here in Detroit. And there’s a lot of customs here.

[@allantaylor3288]

Looking sharp! Good progress being made, hanging out to seeing this beast finished😊👍

[@derrick_v]

Love it! Thanks.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thank you...we’ll show more progress and the final car at and after SEMA

[@blackpanther1269]

This is my Dream car😍

[@AutotopiaLA]

It is a beauty. Can’t wait til it’s road ready for a full driving shoot!!

[@bilpat5123]

Gabe's are they same guys as what Boyd Coddington use to use in American Hotrod show

[@brianp2707]

Yea I've been following Mercury Racing. They built the DOHC engine in the 90s Corvette ZR1. Now with rumors of the new Corvette having a DOHC I've been watching 🧐

[@meanf1502]

Hey Shawn you have a ton of Paul walkers cars in that warehouses right

[@AutotopiaLA]

Not anymore. They’ll be sold at Barrett Jackson in January

[@AJGUNNER]

Who did the DASH?

[@tmr626]

Hey Shawn, that's what a real hot rod should sound like. That motor would also be awesome in a Superformance Shelby Cobra. I'll bet Grimm 7.0 wins a number of awards at SEMA. By the way, are those pretty much one off custom parts on Grimm? I can see a lot of Camaro owners wanting to buy and upgrade their cars with many of those parts. Hopefully, they'll start making them for the masses. One last thing, if any of you hot rodder's out there love lot's of horsepower and your 6 speed tranny's, Tick Performance from Mount Airy, North Carolina now makes new Tremec's that can handle up to 1200 HP. You'll also find a good article on these new Tremec's in the October '19 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. Later!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks for the info here and yes, most of this is custom one off parts. Don’t know if they’ll be making them as accessory parts or not

[@djsonfire0001]

Just insane!!

[@TheJanisjosee]

What a Monster

[@Chong1975]

Very interesting build!!

[@joshgreaves9934]

If I could mash the like button 1,000 times I would! 👍🏿👍🏿

[@AutotopiaLA]

Awesome!!

[@allensaunders449]

If a person is willing to pay for this car and can afford it then worth it. Does look like something special

[@transam2002ws6]

DOHC LS 7.0 on pump gas that makes over 750hp is quiet impressive.

[@AutotopiaLA]

It really is and can go hard all day long

[@2quedogg]

I need that paint code please?!

[@alejandrcastaned8120]

Fino el auto

[@kanervatie]

If I want one, how much?

[@zwei94]

kanervatie could easily go north of 500K

[@Mr.Saephan503]

Had to change my boxer a few time watching this video lol

[@AutotopiaLA]

😂 awesome!!

[@jb2oldies69]

CAMARO 👍😷

[@AutotopiaLA]

And a good one bro

[@namelast6152]

I would be proud to own it. The video of it shows many attention to details an probably many more unspoken about. Hope they continue to innovate things into if allowed. The value to me already is worth more simply because it's been posted on utube an if it was being built for me I hope that they all where given time to introduce themselves in a small video explaining their contributions to the car an possibly some things about their backgrounds before the build an etc. Its to me wouldnt just be about the car being built it's about all the people no matter how small the job an how they may have met an etc. An not that I would want to sell it if built for me but if it was ever to be sold I would belivee it be worth way more than just the price stated. An imagine being able to sit back with others an view the whole process without having to explain it . An of courses invoices for parts time an labor possibly with location of where they where bought etc to help insure easy repairs in the future if needed. An to me that would probably be as big of a head ache as building an fabricating it. Sorry for long drawn out exsample. Love this post an I hope the crew isnt working to hard are going to many days without rest. P.s cant wait too see the post of when the customer receives it.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Poor planning for SEMA, doesn’t constitute an emergency to me. Should have started earlier. 😂😂😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

No emergency. Poor planning? This car started with full design renderings and partnerships with Speedkore, Mercury Racing, Jet Performance and Gabes. It’s in final assembly already

[@paulmader1052]

That is one awesome looking car but get rid of those tail lights they look cheap n tacky

[@AutotopiaLA]

When they are mounted and trimmed you may think differently?

[@paulmader1052]

@@AutotopiaLA that could be true but everyone has their own taste and it's not my car so yeah. But I would of kept the stock lights everything else is awesome

[@WattsUpDev]

Paul Scarpa I don’t believe the lights have the enclosures over the LED’s yet...that’s what I think he’s saying could be wrong @AutoTopiaLA ? Will the leds be exposed when finished?

[@paulmader1052]

@@WattsUpDev yeah well that's right it might look better when finished it is a killer car

[@ericthompson3551]

Not a fan of the wheels. Remember Gabe from Coddington ' s American hot rod.

[@troycavaiuolo3175]

I could rim the rims

[@RandomnessTube.]

Dried blood huh.

[@coolezum]

Real Nice or as they used to say in Cali, Bitchen .

[@AutotopiaLA]

I still say bitchin’ all the time 😂

[@coolezum]

AutotopiaLA that is funny! I. Lived in Hawthorne back in the late sixties and still remember the lingo👍😅, peace brother

[@adamfrbs9259]

Thats cool Mercury is going into cars but that's like 100hp per liter. That's like half of what a S1000RR gets per liter. Seems like they could do wayyyy better if they wanted to.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I’m sure you could get more if wanted but 750 hp n/a is pretty impressive and it’s reliable

[@jcd8192]

Every cool car. . But this fashion of putting that kind of taillight on I find it ridiculous for a muscle car.
