Tim Allen's 1968 Camaro 427 COPO - Jay Leno's Garage

This video was funny seeing Tim’s anxiety that’s happening over his car 😂

[@mu99ins]

This particular model and year was always my favorite, as far as looks go. I appreciate Tim improving on the original design without going too crazy. I never knew these models had bad steering and bad brakes, and unibody issues. It was always out of my price range, but If I had money to burn, this would the car I'd pick. I wonder how much Tim has invested in this, in my head, the ultimate muscle car. $300,000?

Greetings from Japan. This is literally THE MOST beautiful Camaro I’ve ever seen. I’ve always preferred Firebird more than Camaro or Corvette but this is just exceptional! Every work have done to this car; the color, the flare, the wheels, the engine, the interior are just perfect and can see his respect to what the original car had. Thank you for the video!

[@tommurphy4307]

the original was screwed together in a big hurry- this car has been lovingly planned out and crafted by dedicated automotive people- it makes a big difference and it's almost unfair to compare the two.....

[@菅原龍之介-b9d]

@noble mc Custom American cars are used to be one of a major car culture in Japan around 90’s - 00’s but after the gas price went through the roof, it declined. When I had 91’ Firebird GTA around 01’ - 03’, we could still see lots of F bodies, Corvettes, Astros, Caprice sdn/wgn etc were around. But now you can hardly find these kinds in the streets. However, there are some enthusiasts who love American muscle cars of 60’s & 70’s exist. Btw, we don’t even see many JDM sports cars either and it seems that young generations like iPhones over cars.

[@joelikespotatoes8321]

Hello, thats wild! Never knew american muscle was really popular anywhere else! I find it ironic because tuned JDM cars where popular in the US around 90s 2000s. Note I may be wrong because Im a car guy newbie.

[@菅原龍之介-b9d]

@@joelikespotatoes8321 Hi! Yes we used to see lots of American cars here. Most of them were from either GM or Ford sold by official dealerships. Sadly we don’t see many dealers or importers who sell American cars anymore because of their size and fuel efficiency. Well, except Tesla though, haha

This is what I believe a resto-mod should be. Subtle period correct changes and tastefully modernize the driving experience without taking away the character of the vehicle. Probably the best '68 Camaro in the world today.

[@stratplayr6997]

@Jar of Smegma I think he's referring to "character" in the sense of the vehicle's design and aesthetic details. Too many restomods have digital dashes, wheels and interior parts from modern cars. This one looks like a regular '68 from the outside, and the interior also looks like factory spec (except for the large gauges - but they still look appropriate) - this car is very tastefully done!

[@animalyze7120]

And he didn't do that 24 inch low profile crap you see in Foose results. I can't recall just how many cars Chip ruined on his show over the years turning people's classic rides into some Hoopty mobile.

[@charlesfranks1902]

@port nut If that car were in a showroom today , it would not look out of place (assuming the bumpers would pass a crash test) as far as the styling. Emissions might be an issue too. The safety equipment... would be frowned upon. Boy, the government has sure ruined cars and ruined drivers too. There is so much equipment helping bad drivers , they don't need to learn how to drive.

[@deanmatthews7803]

If that's a '68, where are the marker lights? Looks more like a '67.

[@jawn1977jaws]

No, Tim just realized how easy it would be to put the passenger side rear fender into one of those parked cars... I made the same face with my 450hp '71 Z28 with a 4 speed manual driving down a narrow street with cars parked on both sides... you forget sometimes how easy it is to hang the rearend out instantly....and how easy disaster can strike when you apply just a tiny bit too much throttle. Remember , Tim said it was the SECOND time he had been in the car. Tim , you have one of the coolest Camaros I have ever laid eyes on. You could not have made it better. Steve McQueen would have loved it.

[@maciejstalmach]

+jawn1977jaws I believe that face was an act. He is an actor.

[@DeathBringer769]

Projecting. No one knows exactly what he was actually feeling and thinking at that moment besides Tim, even if you imagine you've made an identical face in an identical situation. That still doesn't mean what was going on in his head was identical to what was going on in your head. That's called projecting. You could be totally right, or you could be wrong. I don't know. What I do know is that you're projecting and acting like there's no other answer besides how *you* felt in that moment. That's not a good mindset to have. The intellectually honest answer is "I don't know, but this is what I *think is likely.*"

[@doug.ritson]

jawn1977jaws. Totally agree. Notice that they show the burnout a couple times and that face he made was exactly when the car started to twist sideways, and he was headed down the street toward cars parked on either side.. Yeah, I'd want to check my undies after that. 3 way tie in my book for the best looking car of all time - '57 Chevy, 68 Camaro, 70 Mach 1. Man if I ever win the Lotto - I'll have 2 of each.

Watching this brings back great memories for me. I was in my early 20s but a fixer upper a 68 firebird. Trump out it was a true ramair car .i had to body work in school and that how I was making my living. I didn't get to enjoy it for long though but I sure loved the time while it lasted. See I found out that my youngest son had cerebral palsy and my life changed. I need something more dependable to get him the help he would need. I always thought someday I'd be able to build another one like it. Now I'm in my early 50s and not in best health but watching your videos always brings a smile to my face! My wife and I have injoyed 32 years and some great times were in that old 68 .keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching with a smile. THANKS!

I know I'm probably not the only person to have this thought, but if gm would just release a brand new special Retro Camaro they wouldn't be able to keep up with the orders. I'm talking a Camaro that looks exactly like a 1st gen (and i don't mean a modern take on the original)but with modern drivetrain, chassis, and amenities. They can still sell their new Gen Camaro as well.

[@sinformant]

@@brody.4098 the problem is it probably would. Probably be one of those cars only available to dedicated cm /Camaro owners. And it'd probably cost another $20k above a normal camaro. If they could keep the price the same though they would have trouble keeping up with production lol

[@alfandeddie]

They really missed the boat by not doing a retro ‘57.

[@GlassTopRX7]

I think interest would be high but the demand wouldn't. A first gen Camaro is small, with the factory seats anyone over 6' will be aware of headroom. The general foot print of the 1st gen Camaro is about the same as my RX-7. As for the cost they wouldn't be cheap not unlike the company making new 70' Mustangs.

[@MrMustangMan]

OMG.!!!!! Be-a-utiful.!!!!!!! In 1967 and 1968, Yenko was dropping 427 cubic-inch monsters from Corvettes into Camaro bodies and creating some of the most powerful Camaros of the era. One of Yenko’s crowning achievements came in 1969 when Yenko was tired of selling Camaros with limited warranties because of his modifications and convinced Chevy to add a 427-equipped Camaro to its special equipment ordering system, known as COPO (central office production order). This addition of the 427-equipped Camaro to COPO made it possible for Yenko to sell these cars with the GM-standard 5-year or 50,000-mile warranty. Yenko ordered a grand total of 198 of the Camaro 427s available from COPO. The total number of COPO Camaros produced and sold is unknown, but has been rumored as anywhere from 500 to 1,000. With exception of the 427 jammed into the engine compartment, the Camaro 427s came from COPO with almost nothing identifying them as a special model; they even came with the old dog dish hubcaps on steel wheels. Yenko made sure to order his from COPO with 15-inch rally wheels, a front stabilizer bar, and a 140 mph speedometer. The rest of the customization was all Yenko’s doing.

late 60's early 70's , still the best lines . Smooth, clean simple. Those pumped guards ( fenders) are just gorgeous.

[@WildBillHabiki]

Thank you for this classic American Muscle car. I grew up in the '70s so this talks to me.

[@amoruzz]

I've never seen a Camaro from that era with almost invisible mods on it like that one. Tim really had a good plan for "driver". Jay sure loves it too! Great episode, thanks.

[@KrikZ32]

I like that the aesthetic mods mostly just made it look more like a Javelin

[@amoruzz]

@@KrikZ32 😂

[@kiyoshispec.r4808]

Might be the nicest Camaro I think I've ever seen.

[@plaguex1]

LOL I about died when he did the burnout his face. He loves it but it scared him haha

[@PistolPeteOMHW]

I noticed that also.......too funny.

[@captofthestrad]

If doesn't scare you then it's not any fun.

[@bethanytorah3578]

I want a muscle car like this one so I can do some burnouts!!

[@Geo-xj8ti]

I think he sharted in his pants.

[@hellboy6661234]

hahaha he thought he was gonna loose control man, which he was!!! lol by the cars in the beginning!!! xD

[@PhotoAlbert]

Oh I always loved the '68 Camaro. My parents had one and I'd take it out whenever they'd let me, and I found out that the girls seemed to like it too!

[@austinbevis4266]

Lucky lucky lucky

[@jonstevens9245]

My first car was a '68 Camaro. It only had the 250 cube I-6 and Powerglide, but I loved it!

[@paulanger2048]

Lucky! 68 is my favorite, so clean!

[@andolas100]

its great hearing old dads talking about there cars:)

[@Matt-kt9nm]

When Jay said "rollin on 22 inch dubs"

[@bigvicz]

lol @ tims face when hes doing the burn out

[@MauFerrusca]

Panic!

[@Kennysmelle]

its almost like jay dared tim to do the burn out and tim didn't want to look like a chicken in front of everyone

[@kuladeeluxe]

This has to be one of my all time favourite car builds. I would love to own this car.

[@nathansharma87]

This is one of my top 5 most beautiful examples of a car ever. The colour, the contours, the basic clean and nostalgic interior and those wheels are just .... I want to hug them.

[@HooyahPeacock]

What country are you in

[@ja-kl8rg]

👍

[@MarkWright1963]

The most beautiful Camaro ! Just right better than later body styles.

[@almightywhitey6955]

Rally's are the way to go. On my 69' I had the matte black painted in between the shiny crime of the wheel..man did it look badass...Tim's car here is just flawless

[@enigmaPL]

If I had the money for a perfect Camaro from this generation, this is pretty much what I would do to it. Clean and tasteful.

[@ObiWanSatoshi]

Wow that is one beautiful car

[@hibiki54]

Every time this video pops up in my feed I watch it, because Tim's Camaro looks just like my grandmother's '68 327 before my father sold it. I miss that car so much and I'm still have some animosity toward him for no selling it to me.

[@wranglerstar]

Gorgeous car Tim and Jay,

[@Femmpaws]

I remember when those were new cars... There were a couple of Air Force officers that had them so we would see them in town now and them

[@ThomasJoseph315]

Kriss Femmpaws Yea, I'd love to get a 69 Camero fastback :)

[@RevolutionMuscle]

***** Or CamAro? And going by the literal definition of what a fastback is, the Camaro wasn't a fastback until 1970.

[@ThomasJoseph315]

RevolutionMuscle There was limited productions of the Fastback in '69, technically the titles say 1970, but the production dates are from '69.

[@SpectrumSurvivalist]

+Wranglerstar Nice seeing you here.

[@CamaroRick]

Tim Allen needs a youtube channel.. Big time!

[@MrNotorius5500]

Hey give the guy a break. At least he turned over some kind of new leaf. Why keep holding something over someones head for years and years?

[@whiteribbonman1]

+MrNotorius5500 WHAT are you referring to? Holding WHAT over his head? All he said was "a KZbin". Tim would be someone with a great channel. R, R, R, R!

[@HammarixSwe]

What? You must have replied to the wrong comment.

[@lokisgodhi]

I think he was making a joke about Allen's troubles with the law back in the 70s and tongue in cheek pretending 'big time' meant time in prison.

[@tomaslopez2940]

His channel needs all the outdoor man vlogs from Last Man Standing

[@Frejborg]

I love Tim Allen! haha Great funny guy. Used to watch a lot of Home Improvement, and I've seen many of his movies too. This was a great episode. Jay Leno and Tim Allen, a good comedic pairing I think.

[@dannymatthews6365]

I saw this Camero and it brought tears to my eyes. My sister had a ‘68 the same color, but with a white stripe around the front end and down the side. 327, 3 speed. It had been her boyfriend’s before he went to Vietnam. She took over the payments when he was drafted. Unfortunately, she lost control of it during an ice storm and it was a basket case after that. Thank God she wasn’t hurt. We were 4 years and 1 day apart in age, she being born on April 3rd, 1952 and me on April 4th, 1956. She passed away in 2017 of cancer, leaving a huge void in my life and a bigger hole in my heart. Great car Tim. May it live forever. Danny Matthews

[@Dontjuststareatit]

Tim seems like a real person, he isn’t involved with the fake Hollywood scene. At least that’s what it appears.

[@CapnSlipp]

He's been hit pretty hard in the past few years for being right-leaning. If being a Republican in Hollywood without apologies isn't a test of realness, I don't know what is. #LeftistsHate

[@ronnieharsh1556]

Right.even on his sit com he had his show car in the garage working on it.

[@Shinkajo]

I think he is too old for that anyway

[@mikeanglada742]

Nah, Tim's One of Us... ;) \,,/

[@K1ng1995]

@@CapnSlipp I honestly think that in modern day times. There are way to many people who are WAY TO FAR LEFT, or WAY TO FAR RIGHT, on the political spectrum where both sides need to be closer so while they may not have to agree with each other, they can at least listen to the other side perspective

[@roosterandabaldguy]

Jay: it's not an age thing - I'm 20 and this car is stunning!

[@crossacoustics6814]

Thanks for sharing this fantastic car with everyone. So clean, and beautifully old school modern. Nicely done Tim.

[@kagato82]

"Cause I drive these things." Thank you! Don't let those beauties just sit around. Gorgeous car!
