[@ErinWunder]

Love how these classic Chevy owners and lovers let each other SHINE!! Beautiful cars!

[@HERodriguezJr]

Nothing like that old school carb sound and feel. Love the Chevelle.

[@Marcel-sv2lo]

Don't want none of that chevelle!

[@bw6078]

Like two maestros conducting their orchestra's. Sounds to behold.

[@coxgaspoweredtether]

Yes they sound great, nice clip...I had two 70SS Chevelles in my time. White black and red white.I just found some older camcorder video of my red car . Check it out on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHvUpKOOmpWfetE

[@midnightsun2483]

Makes my heart beat. I remember the days.

[@JayDogTitan]

American muscle: There's nothing like it! 🇺🇸💪!!!!!!

[@buickmonte]

Finally,a video with just motor music!!!

[@JimGuidry]

Bought my new 67 SS Chevelle 396/350HP 4-speed after I got back from basic training at Fort Polk . It had AC and powering steering am/FM radio & 3.08 gears. Marina Blue with black vinyl top . After 2 into 2 headers it woke up big time . Then 3.73 gears and I was running with the big boys ! Now THOSE were the days and I give the LORD ALL the Glory !!

[@shawnfloyd5757]

I will always have a soft spot for american muscle, there nothing like the sound or power!!!! looks like fun guys!

[@craigewen2878]

Right on heavy Chevy not one but two for the show and kick ass lets go .Awesome classics .

[@rollthers3157]

Beautiful cars! I love the "do not touch" windshield decal.

[@joesphgallo5534]

Back then there were no computers to control the speed of the car ! Just pure horsepower 😎

[@MC2RD]

The problem with new cars, like the HellCat, Demon, SS, LS and all that fancy shit is: you BETTER be fast, or what good is it? With classics, its good, no matter what.

[@Dr_Xyzt]

People get too pent up on performance. When I did my LS swap, it transformed my truck. In town, I can land myself in jail with any gear. It does 56mph in 1st gear. Once you get away from factory equipment, life just gets so much better. I feel like these old muscle cars capture that. The people designing them had turned wrenches before.

[@tyvekhomewrap9164]

Bullshit. You don't need to be fast to be cool. I'll be damned if someone would think a modern Challenger R/T, for example, is not a "good" car. It's not the fastest, but with a six-speed and nice exhaust it's a hell of a good time and a hell of a car.

[@hemiheritage]

Better be fast?? Lmao They're plenty fast Fast enough to blow the doors off most any ole skewl musclecar but I do love the classics. Love it all Classics and modern muscle. I'll gladly take a widebody 392 with the Shaker any day of the week but I'd love an old camaro, chevelle, nova, cuda, 68 charger too. My 2006 daytona charger is quite a bit of fun too with LT headers, big valve heads, cam, pedal commander, 85mm TB, upgraded pulleys, suspension, stage III performance chip, staggered wheel set up, dynotune, etc etc etc I've had more fun along the way turning a reasonably stout stock daytona into a fairly formidable four door Family sedan musclecar lol

[@Joe-uo9wv]

Bring back memories cruising in my 68 Chevelle 396/375.

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

And, let`s not forget about the BEST shifter ever made, the Hurst Competition Plus ! If you`re ever demolishing a house, you can use that shifter in place of a large crowbar ! :-)

[@phantomvapor]

That Camaro sounds amazing!!!!

[@kenwaring7583]

There is Nothing like OLD School Muscle and Big Block too! You got Love it.. Old School IS the BEST SCHOOL!! And you can take that to the BANK!!

[@ScoobyDigites]

Ken Waring damn straight.

[@dukeman7595]

Yoo Jastle: Yep it's day in the sun is gone, however, they were class all the way compared to today's offerings. I'm not saying today's muscle cars don't have the power to out perform the old muscle cars, they just don't have the same mystique. imho

[@aquariusdawning]

I bought a new corvette back in 2008. It's quite fast, it gets great gas mileage, it looks good, it doesn't break down, it handles well, it has all kinds of luxury shit, etc etc etc.. So why am I looking at Chevelles for sale and contemplating trading that vette in to get one? There is something about the old school muscle cars that can't be captured in a modern vehicle. I probably should have got the chevelle in the first place.

[@dukeman7595]

Yes there sure is.

[@LILORIONVDIESEL]

Ken Waring The genuine heartbeat of America

[@jward9637]

Very smooth sounding 396!

[@ErinWunder]

Listen to them kitties purr!!! ❤

[@davegroves1924]

This clip made me SO remorseful!!!! Had a new 1968 Camaro SS/RS L78, red w/black vinyl top. Most fantastic car I ever owned. I've had a new '66 Chevelle, a '70 (used) Vette, 1 '70 Chevelle, 3 Typhoons, BUT nothing came close to that Camaro. Yep, the sound of the pipes, the lop of the engine at idle with the solid lifters, the ease of pulling away at a stop light or, much better, entering the freeway....So stupid when you're 22 (yeah, turning 77 in 7 days and still 22 inside)!!!! I feel like crying.

[@saltytrashtruck3366]

Just having a little fun. Good job! Be safe out there

[@johnnytorino9455]

That Camaro sounds like a well oiled machine.❤

[@tj5228]

Aahhhh.....dude....thanks for sharing....there's some of us out here that truly love the looks, the sounds, and the beauty of riding in "American Muscle " cars.....Thanks!!

[@michaeljordan8850]

The Malibu has a great paint scheme however the Mark sounds like a beast!

[@karenhumes8689]

Love 'em both!!! I had a 70 SS & have a 68 SS Camaro.. Also had a 66 Chevelle SS 396 Marina Blue Convertible way back when. Still wish I had both of my Chevelle's I'd have a working man's collection of classic muscle! Greg

[@jward9637]

That Chevelle is sweet too!

[@jackwarren9464]

There is nothing better than building it yourself & being proud to say so.

[@ghostrider-gm2wg]

Two beautiful American cars. Doesn't get any better than that !

[@Dr_Xyzt]

That camaro has the entire classic muscle experience nailed. The sound. The look. It's a rite of path. The Chevelle is close. A set of 17" Torq Thrust 2's would have it right there. The only better sound is a built big block with 40's dumped in front of the rear axle. It's like a bomb going off.

[@richmaxwell2263]

Two really nice rides.

[@vhp454]

No small block or modern technology can replace the shear brutal torque and horsepower of any big block. I have owned big block chevys ever since i was 16 in 1982. Today i still have my 1971 camaro with a big block and i will never get rid of it for anything, no luxury cars can ever be for me.

[@scooterp7009]

‘69 sounds fine. ‘70 looks heavenly.

[@leszeknikodem8362]

LOVE these little taillights! Fit in that massive rear bumper and overall side design of 1970s chevelles... Also THAT hood vents in the 69 Camaro... outstanding detail ;P :)

[@Motown454]

Two beautiful cars

[@buff6637]

Late to the party but Wow...like em both..imma old school big block guy! Love the L78! 4 speed!

[@omalley16]

lol@ "goddammit" @1:25, loss of patience at 1:30. great cruise video!

[@paulbrosco281]

miss my '69 like hell. the 396 sounds sinister. thx for sharing.

[@mattdavis5994]

I have the L35 396, watching this vid gets my adrenaline goin

[@c130comm]

Two fantastic cars

[@70xr7Cougar]

Love driving like that to, just having fun and enjoying that engine roar, need to get mine back on the road!

[@jeffanderson4078]

miss. my. 69. 396. and. the. rockcrusher😜

[@davidb5978]

The sound @ 1:31 is pure music.

[@MrAshlandVideos]

one of the best videos in a long time jeff, hooked up the sound system for the cruze, sounds great, thank you

[@carsbyjeff]

Glad You enjoyed!

[@boogrbear9224]

God i love the old 396. i drove a 69 ss chevelle with that same engine 4 spd Muncie. beautiful sound. Had friends with the 396 they all had a distinct sound to them.

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

canted valves, like the ford cleveland and 429/460

[@dirtyharry7616]

who dosent love a chevelle and a camaro

[@sabre-ub3op]

Dam those are nice cars almost as nice as my 65 SS Chevelle

[@d-phoenix2198]

It is so refreshing seeing a Chevelle without a fake SS badge.

[@betosgarage]

2:35 let’s all hear that again

[@phantomvapor]

I think I just wet my pants! The sounds of those engines are freaking amazing!

[@edgardagosto1917]

8track stereo in muscle cars. A must today

[@tylermadden4915]

Looks like autumn in Virginia, maybe Ocean City area

[@ZerokillerOppel1]

Hey you were at ultimate Flemings garage! Love that guy! He makes some nice carvideoes!

[@centermass4962]

Love both cars.that 70 tho😁😁

[@samdorsey4590]

Great video!! The Chevelle needs the black SS pad on the rear bumper.👍😎

[@prestonqualls3550]

The thing I like about American Muscle it is strong an you can use the power whenever you need it.

[@jayesh5131]

They are sitting in heaven

[@ScoobyDigites]

These cars stand out loud and proud in a sea of boring cars.

[@ErinWunder]

True true!!!

[@johnmilner7603]

We used to do that a lot in the late 60's and 70's. I still have my car.

[@harleyrider8889]

John Milner I've got a 69 Nova ss same drive train...had it since 1973...

[@jamesvogel1477]

You guys are great keep it up enjoyed the video

[@carsbyjeff]

Thanks! www.dreamcarsellers.com

[@msclecarcrzy]

I think the Camaro has a better sound but that LS2 in the Chevelle will run.

[@carsbyjeff]

Thanks, old school - new school!

[@HERodriguezJr]

I disagree.. but to each their own! I think the carb setup sounds and feels much better..

[@BigUnitBeef]

I think you guys got the best job in the world!

[@carsbyjeff]

Sometimes it really is fun!

[@hornetbrown]

Healthy machines! Nice to see some real motoring without getting stupid reckless....very nice!!

[@jessefraime3078]

He caught way up!

[@LILORIONVDIESEL]

The genuine heartbeat of America

[@joshuamartinez2571]

Man that chevelle is a sweet car. I would love to get one if I had the cash.

[@philortega6516]

Joshua Martinez ,you can it take 5 to 10 yrs to build a car like that blue chevelle. I have a 72 that I started working On it in 2004,painted myself did all the mechanical,it does cost money but if you budget in some money once a week,once a month the average person can do it. How many times do we go out to eat a week and spend 15 to 20 dollars when it can go to a project like this? That how I look at it.

[@johnfila6480]

love the rims on the chevelle

[@doublej118jc]

I'd take the L78 any day!

[@bailey9r]

Oh sure more HP way more torque (which is what moves the vehicle) add to this the RO weighs less and NO CONTEST.

[@GlassTopRX7]

The LS2 makes similar torque and more HP than a L78. If you are comparing stock to stock. The L78 was rated in gross HP at either 425 or 375, in net hp that's only about 350-300hp. They make about 425hp with manifolds and about 450 with headers in gross power. The LS2 makes about 470 gross hp with manifolds and close 500hp with headers in gross numbers. The same is true of the torque rating although that doesn't take as big of a hit between net and gross. The LS2's power and torque curves are flatter and broader than the somewhat peaky L78. Acceleration is all about HP in any vehicle with multiple gears, specifically average power through the rev range you are using. Torque measures twisting force, HP measures what you can do with that twisting force over time. So a car with 500lb-ft and 300hp is going to accelerate slower than a car making 300lb-ft and 500hp every time. You can multiply torque with gearing you can't multiply power. I would still rather have a L78 for the cool factor but if it's about performance the LS2 hands down. You are shedding 300lbs of engine weight with the LS2. Even with aluminum heads it's still 250lbs lighter. There is a reason that the LS is the engine undisputed king of engine swaps. It's may not be much to look at and sounds a little off, but they are cheap, reliable, light, and powerful even in stock form.

[@SkylineR34XSupramk4]

Beautiful machines

[@carsbyjeff]

Thanks!

[@jessefraime3078]

They boaf smokkd trakz down uh street.. dang dude... Blu my Saturday knightz.. aye!

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

NICE cars....love `em both, but that Chevelle is calling my name.... :-)

[@lawyers9]

Two awesome looking and sounding Chevy's!!!

[@carsbyjeff]

Glad you liked! Was so fun shooting this one... Jeff

[@jamescoool2816]

lawyers9 I

[@ragnarfoxtrot4622]

2016 and that Camaro still looks badass, wheels and all. I feel the wheels on the Chevelle take away from its potential. the rest looks real nice though.

[@matrox]

Both still look good. Its why they are classic.

[@C.S.Sensei]

Those wheels look good on anything.

[@artina.i6563]

yes king of cars

[@mauricesilva6177]

awesome video,great cars.these videos help me get through the winter.makes me want to take out my 69 Camaro.keep up the cool videos.us motorheads need them.

[@carsbyjeff]

+Eddie Fastway Thanks! Jeff www.dreamcarsellers.com

[@cloakedgt]

the black tail panel is an indication that its an original big block car

[@heychevrolet299]

Master Debater chrome vent hood, badges, black tail panel etc

[@keithcastleberry3993]

Nice!!! GOOD Stuff!!

[@chevyguy4ever299]

Very cool guys.

[@c130comm]

Auto vs 4 speed. Always a conversation

[@carsbyjeff]

U.S.A. All The Way!

[@matthewcorsaro5317]

Hell yes!

[@garlitzhyperformancegarage8818]

Did you all see the license plate fuel door come open on the Chevelle? That's some hp right there!

[@richardbarr6814]

Chevelle's are my favorite cars

[@anthonymaniz9896]

The moment when he tells him self damit

[@goopah]

We need to go back in time so we can afford these damn things.

[@johnsheetz6639]

Hp=👍! Tq=🤘!!!

[@whatsrightisright5054]

Sweet!

[@cfmechanic]

Very nice cars. Still prefer the big block over ls

[@Cvbn1969]

70 Malibu dressed up. Not an SS. Still a hot looking ride

[@killbillyapocalypse4230]

That LS tho 😛

[@flanerpete2040]

Sweet 👍

[@stevebellen8674]

Some sweet rides doing ls swap on 86 C10 short bed right now

[@wayneoneal7952]

Sweet

[@tltsw]

That chevelle LS2 sounds so good. The best part when it comes down to it, that camero would not beat the chevelle in a head to head match. Yes the big block sounds good and its old school but that LS2 is to much for that 396. Cubic inches dont mean crap in todays world. My 04 Dale Jr Monte Carlo SS 3.8 supercharged 400 hp is nothing but a tire shreading bitch. 1987 buick proved to the whole world with their Grand National GNX. So gone are the days of big block old IRzoN heads and carbs. Give me a V6 with a supercharger and some tuning and im happy.

[@yoyomaa1896]

Chevelle sounds like it has boost

[@V8AmericanMuscleCar]

Great video Jeff!!!!

[@carsbyjeff]

Thanks!

[@jesusaguilar2281]

Que bonito suenan esas bellesas

[@kevinkendall3122]

Camaro sounded like it had chambered exhaust

[@FastNFurious]

great video Jeff!!

[@carsbyjeff]

Thanks!

[@xxxXXXFASTXXXxxx]

The bumper is custom? Looks different than a traditional 70 (which that one looks better)
