[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Love the vibe of that car; not rat rod, not show car, more like...survivor! It's so cool that he respects the power too.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Totally with you

[@dredouglas2135]

You guys do a good job of mixing it up to backyard builds to very expensive builds

[@ryanmcclendon3309]

“Backyard builds” are my fav, even tho they aren’t my backyard builds..☹️ 😂

[@robsorgdrager8477]

This exactly how I would build a car. I've never been huge on high maintenance paint, worring about the weather....I drive what I build, daily all year everyday. This is a wicked machine.

[@CyberDocUSA]

Love this perspective - build a mean daily monster that you enjoy with less stress over cosmetics.

[@robsorgdrager8477]

@@CyberDocUSA exactly. Show cars have days and days into the finish . I want something that looks good but won't matter if it gets rock chips or bug guts on it.

[@monsieurnigaud]

bug guts magnets are less stolen!@@robsorgdrager8477

[@thektmkid6990]

Fernando is a straight up likeable relatable dude, you can tell how much he loves & respects his car. Great work guys ❤

[@anthonyarnold906]

Cracks me up how calm he was when thrashing on it. Just driving along lol. Shaun shitting his pants and Fernando going to church lol

[@zachg9065]

This thing is insane

[@chaching713]

I love the diversity of this channel!!

[@jayweiss4378]

Hidden Gem!

[@madsmc8789]

Not often you see a guy this into the build. Fernando knows what he wants and makes it happe, big respect! 🐊

[@YukonDemon]

Such a cool build, and a really cool owner as well. Can't wait to see where he goes with it!!! Thank once again Shawn for a great video. Just what I needed to unwind after a long day at work.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Glad you liked it and can’t wait to see what he does next with it

[@YukonDemon]

@@AutotopiaLA Hey Shawn, I know you're a California kid, but an idea for a video, I'm in Whitehorse, Yukon Canada, and each summer on Father's day there's a car show up here. You'd be surprised at some of the cool rides that we have up in the north here. And that time of year it wouldn't be too cold for your brittle Cali bones. I think you'd enjoy the cars and the people a lot.

[@danmyers9372]

Yeah, he’s pretty cool for a Dodger fan. 😉

[@user-ei1zp4fw8k]

Hang on to the seat

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yep. At some point he’s doing a full interior with proper seats

[@michaelcousins2526]

What I find myself loving from this sequential is that this one requires the clutch to shift. I understand that it would be a pain in the ass for every day city or rush hour traffic but my old school ears LOVE hearing the sound of the exhaust decel between the shifts!! Old school meets modern tech design, I love it!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very cool conversion

[@MrMan-ol4ic]

Dam right, the camera inside the car when Fernando is getting on it, you can see the torque lifting the car up, squatting the rear, that car is sick! And. The fact that it's a actual, actual learning curve to drive/shift makes that 1 of the best builds you've had on this channel!!!

[@avilesjuan180]

Need to make a series called “BEATERS WITH BRAKES” 💨💨💨

[@tranquilitybase7860]

Cool setup. I think this is the best car channel. I was grown-up with old Steve Mcqueen movies and movies like smokey and the bandit. For people like me this is the best thing on KZbin.

[@gordocarbo]

Most tv shows had a killer car chase scene, fun to watch back then.

[@tomnekuda3818]

Love what he's done to the interior.....LOL! Shaun is a stitch when guys drop the hammer.....great facial expressions. Lotta dough in that engine......dump the spool and put in a Detroit Locker. That would be about all a fella needs for a driver. I had a spool in my Nova but all it saw was the track....no street. I had a ratchet shifter in a T-bucket and they are nice.....just keep pulling them in.....

[@jayweiss4378]

“It’s only original once” You said that right… but nothing wrong with giving it new power under the hood! NICE 👍🏻💥

[@spookydog6959]

she'😁s a beater👍

[@4litrespoolyboi206]

Ooft, that flex in that first shot, freaking wild!

[@cameronyeager7635]

It's about time y'all shot my personal favorite year of Chevelle. And god dayum this one is wild in the best of ways. Great wheel choice.

[@danmyers9372]

Love the ‘66-67 Chevellez but sorry I can’t agree with you on the solid black wheels. 🤮

[@airpilikia]

My favorite year also but I'll take a 67 Pontiac Beaumont! Same car just built in Canada! @autotopiala if you are interested I know of an awesome one in Massachusetts you could do a shoot with. Great video! Thanks

[@gordocarbo]

@@danmyers9372 Polished alum would look great on this . Never was a trend follower

[@DavidNeyens]

Love how it’s built to drive and enjoy!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me to!

[@bubbacomputer]

That was a great video! That car has survivor vibes plus modern mega horsepower. Looks like a car you could have fun with all the time, which is a perfect combo. That clutch looks like it would build some leg muscles. LOL

[@gordocarbo]

Hydraulic clutch probably. Still easy to use just that puck type clutch. Those are like light switches.

[@TheClub94]

21:05 Thank you for not changing!😂😂😂😂

[@AutotopiaLA]

Lol!

[@timmorinlinescoot3458]

Holy crap, nobody would have any idea of the kind of power this car makes. What an awesome car.

[@ssaafur]

I grew up in that car. 327 4 barrel. Sky blue, black bench seat in the front. My dad sold it when the frame started to rust. Too bad. I see this and I’m brought back to him flooring it on our way to Norfolk through the beltway.

[@AutotopiaLA]

I love what they did to it

[@darryljackson4813]

By far the sickest Chevelle I've ever seen! It gives the Grand National a run for it's money! One of my favorites so far.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Definitely a badass car

[@ryanmcclendon3309]

This chevelle ,took that money!👍🏼

[@Yourmission9]

That chevelle is awesome, the patina makes it look like you’d see Daryl from the walking dead mowing over a bunch of zombies in this thing

[@BlackTreadTV]

First 67 I've seen on your show! My favorite year Chevelle and I loved it! Thanks for filming!

[@yukonjack.]

Shawn a tip, we only need the car the owner and you, your enthusiasm is the comedy gold... Good 2 see the young drivin the old Iron, original patina is badass!! Thx.✌️

[@CyberDocUSA]

Fernando's ride is fast enough to warp time. Can't wait till you revisit and shoot again!

[@AutotopiaLA]

It’s a beast and when it’s all done definitely doing a reshoot

[@minnesotatomcat]

If you don’t have 2 turbos and a thousand horse these days you better not even show up to the party 🤣

[@AutotopiaLA]

Lol!

[@gordocarbo]

Unless you can hook esp from a dig

[@martinneulen7050]

Oh my god, that's great, an old car with "a hell" in the middle of the car 😮

[@JaydenSpringfield]

I've never seen you drive someone else's car like you did. I can tell you love it 😊

[@AutotopiaLA]

Very cool car. That clutch is a serious learning curve!

[@sanfranciscobay]

I like how the Body is unfinished and the Drive Train is built to be driven hard.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too. No worries about rock chips…just drive it!

[@UcantBeSerious03]

as a 67 chevelle owner myself, that thing is bad ass!

[@scryla2000]

One of the BEST cars I’ve seen!!

And it’s gonna get better soon

Literally one of my top 5 favs on this channel. Raw and to the point.

I've watched some builds on this show that are mind boggling but something about his chevelle here. Thats cool. The beat paint with the low black rim stance my god its cool

[@martinfahrni5677]

That guy is cool as I reckon his brothers must be awesome Wild ride and he let you drive it Bye the way Watching from Switzerland 🇨🇭 And ❤ it 👍

[@shannonlane5647]

Me and my wife and friends Kevin and Julie met Shawn Saturday 9/9/23 in Bowling Green (71 Chevelle and the 67 Firebird guys from Owensboro, Ky.) I just want to say thanks to him for taking the time to stand around and listen and talk.....the guy is cool as hell, a class act and sincere!! We hope he makes it to our neck of the Kentucky woods someday!! We met a couple celebs that day and not judging or criticizing anyone but lets just say the experience was kind of disappointing....realizing they are busy people it seemed all about the merch....Shawn, totally opposite! Dude totally needs his own show!!! Thanks Dude!!

[@chriscondon3927]

Great show Shawn! I could see the car twisting when get got into the throttle.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks! Definitely needs a chassis with that kinda power

[@demondselmon6744]

Thanks for watching. Cool car and owner

[@frankjgornickjr3676]

That smells the clutch😮

[@joshs2448]

I love this channel and I love the builds that they showcase But it would also be really cool to see more average garage built driver builds. These multi-hundred thousand dollar builds are really nice but I'm sure most people watching don't have that kind of money to dish out. Would love to see more attainable builds from average middle class people.

[@twasbrillig33]

I want to see what Josh builds!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Dig into our channel. We show a lot of straight up garage builds

[@gordocarbo]

This car could easily be done in a garage. Dude has to make good $ and sacrifices for that drivetrain though That was not cheap!
