I love the 68 chevelle tha most of all,because those skiny tail lights. My sisters husband had this year, and at 11 years old riding in that thing was so cool. He had it jacked up with big wide tires on tha back, thin up front.....on chrome craiger rims. I remember being in the back seat singing songs played on the radio, and his EQ jumpn...red yellow green lights. 6x9s rockn in tha back,5n quarters in tha.doors. those days were tha best ever. Love your videos. Thanks

Give me the 66 through 1970 Chevelle was one of my favorite cars. It had a full frame and everything bolts to it. There were lots of them around and a plethora of parts for cheap. You could just wait till your buddy stacked his and go buy what you needed off him. You know help a brother out. Big block small block 4-speed sway bars posi steel rims. Dollar per horsepower a better buy than anything else around. Heavy enough that you felt safe at a hundred and ten miles an hour. Strong enough that you could abuse the living shit out of it. My favorite was a gold 66 I had. It always had different engines and transmissions in it. It was like the Chevelle kit. You could put it together all sorts of different ways. Sliding left, sliding right, donut clockwise, counterclockwise figure 8, what a great greasy sled, Smokey toasty, banging gears and fucking with with the radio, just burning tire until you let up. No 12s without cheater slicks or wrinkle walls, Low 13's and that big block come on. The big block lunge. It's like when the weight catches up with the inertia and the RPMs Dancing from 3rd gear into 4th. Hours of enjoyment. Some sloppy loose big block you got from a wrecking yard, with an intake Cam and headers, ready to be beaten to within an inch of its miserable life. Routinely, some big block that came out of somebody's flat bottom boat. Frankenstein Big Blocks. Big Blocks out of Caprices or old Impalas, loose 396 with a 427 cam. Why won't this thing blow? This thing should blow. Maybe you're not beating it right? Quick to the cow fields. Smoking weed, drinking beer, listen to The Rolling Stones, Cross up competition, drifting, drifting, drifting look out for the cow, drifting

I had ‘71 Chevelle automatic transmission that would chirp 2nd gear, sometimes a light chirp for 3rd gear if I was on it hard and nasty!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! I want another one so bad! But due to my money, being on disability and all, might not happen unless “Santa” is feeling like he wants to help me out!? LOL!!

Louis Wing, I chose the 1968 Chevelle Malibu to star in my literary work of "An Incubus Behind the Wheel," as a dusty, battered "dark graphite '68 sedan". This work is to be the backstory to "Mineral County," based on a peculiar dream I first experienced in mid-fall(October of 1989) and this work will star a 1968 Chevy Impala custom hardtop sedan as another suspect vehicle. I chose these particular make, models, and year because, for some reason, they have such a rather interestingly eerieness to them. ✍️🏽🪔🔎📘🔦

Great looking car. If all the labor is sourced to do the build it would probably be 100k easily. If one does the build himself he could save substantial amounts of money. Labor is very expensive.

anybody thats ever had a car built knows the budget can get as high as the owners money can go, i wouldve guessed more than 100k for that build depending on what they started with

I want to know the tire size too they are definitely offset. It might be 245/60 up front 275/60 out back. Usually guys go with 275/60 on rear when they run 3.73 but he has 3.55 though.

@@gerald506 I I agree 275/60 rear and I believe 265 50 on the front. Compared a lot of pics and it’s not a 235/60 or a 245/60 it’s wider.

"Plain" or "simple" is a style not a budget. It's probably still a complete nut and bolt frame off restoration and there goes your 100 grand. Sure you could build a car for a lot less that on the street or on camera looks pretty much just like it but see them up close in person and you'll see where the money went.

Now that's a car worth spending 100k on. I LOVE that he kept it old school, that could have basically been done in 68. This is how old hot rods should be restored. To many of these modern builders ruin these classic muscle cars by turning them into resto rods.

Umm... no, he’s not on this one. I’m questioning the horsepower and the cost to build it... BUT, most chevys in the late 60s had 4 wheel discs. I know the 69 Camaro does. I’d bet the 68 Camaro did too. My 68 mustang had discs brakes on the front, from the factory, with the GT package. You all do your homework before runnin yer flappers! Lol

David Oliver Wrong. Most late 60's chevelles had 4 wheel Drums. Standard. Front disc brakes & front only - were a option. No Chevelle ever came off the assembly line with rear disc's. Ever. Show me an rpo code. Show me a factory part #. This Chevelle may have rear disc's but through aftermarket parts only

Wrong, my 69 Cutlass is a high option big engine car and it has 4 wheel drums. Discs were only a front option. Camaro rear discs were an option bred from Trans Am racing and the Z/28.
