Sleeper Chevy El Camino Making 1000 hp (350 NOS Shot) | 8 Second Car

It's always a great time shooting with our friends from Hood Muscle Cars and this time was simply a blast. Their friend Richy brought out his 1964 Chevy El Camino with a 383 ci small block making over 700 hp...plus it has a 350 hp shot of nitrous!!! What makes it even crazier to me is that other than wheels & tires it looks like a stock ElCo. Plus Richy says this car runs in the 8's in the 1/4 mile which is cooking!! Sit back and enjoy the ride...

Just imagine how the guy with the built ZL1 felt getting gapped by this..... I love it

[@AutotopiaLA]

He couldn’t have felt good. Awesome!

[@jackspradt1562]

he felt not stoked this car should have a bumper sticker that says - CAUTION: WILL BUM YOU OUT -

[@uahfastboi3073]

I didn’t feel bad at all 😎😎

[@Dmhlcmb]

😂

[@CTemple82]

Richie nailed it by keeping the original paint color, interior and all the components. True classic looks with the perfect wheel choice, the Weld Aluma stars are my all time favorite especially with the 17” fronts and beadlock rears. Those wheels look good on anything from classic to modern. I love this ride, its beautiful and bad ass!

[@Dmhlcmb]

💯

[@rmac3x]

If my 65 looks this clean when finished I’ll be a happy man

[@monsieurnigaud]

the paint! Fantastic

[@SigTheSauceMan]

FINALLY! A 1964 El Camino!!! I have a 1964 (passed down from my late uncle). And I'm so glad to see another person appreciate one.

[@saulp16690]

Mannn I was smiling through the whole video. Badass ride man.

[@rescuedandrestoredgarage]

That is truly awesome. I love the fact that there are so many different ways to build a car, and you show them all. Top notch video, brother.

[@wyattfortune5494]

Those 434 small blocks are something else! There’s a gentleman that lives near here that has a Decently known Red C10 pickup with a 434 and on a tube chassis built for autocross.

[@MH-53E]

This guy, you can tell he's been down the track a few times. Cool as ice driving that thing. Great show man...

[@sporkeh90]

That means absolutely nothing, you can be cool as ice while doing the dumbest things, doesnt make it any less dumb

[@MH-53E]

@@sporkeh90 What the hell are you talking about? What important thing in your pitiful life would I say the same thing about.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

What a beautiful 8 second cruiser!

[@dkstudioart]

I have one question though, what track lets him run 8 sec without a cage or harness?

[@danmyers9372]

@@dkstudioart - Only at a private track rental. Anything else and he would not be allowed to go faster than 11.50.

[@danmyers9372]

It’s a claimed 9 second car but as a retired racer I always have an issue with racers who claim a certain ET or power level without proof. This guy said the car had gone a best of 9.30. Yet he claims it’s an 8 second car? Where’s the slip?

I love it !!! Really cool car ! With a good feeling of customizing ! Just like a sleeper, but with a nice and bright paint. 😊

[@supertruckerextraordinaire]

Love how he did the hood thing….thats a old school trick from back in the day, just like the old timers flipping the air cleaner lids lol

[@brianbob7514]

That is a really beautiful car , thank you fir showing it to us

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks for watching. Badass ride

[@al9030]

Dope Ride .Love the stock look..Sean you need your own t.v show just like you do it (Don't change nothing)

[@johnlopez3001]

Definitely!

[@funnrun3399]

I like seeing the older el caminos I barely see them at car shows in my area the engine upgrade is awesome

[@David-Drums]

Thanks for having an El Camino on the show. I know it’s not one of Shaun’s favorite rides but some of us love them.

[@spookyfizz]

this is one of my favorite cars. Really clean. I love how it's simple old school original.

[@bigmountain7561]

We used to pop the rear of the hood with washers because it lets the heat escape and keeps the engine running cooler. That was 40 years ago. I love that he kept the El original to its look. Gauges look great, he really put a lot of thought into the build. Bravo!!!! Great Video Thank You Shawn!!!

[@AutotopiaLA]

I really enjoyed this one. Old school with a lot of history on this El Camino

[@rixkafer56]

Cool AF.... i have a 64 malibu same color combo... 327 4sp tilt 355 s 😁👍

[@moralcompass11-11]

Nice looking sleeper! ✌️

[@AutotopiaLA]

Total sleeper Badass ElCo

[@AJKlos]

Love how the first thing he mentioned is the gap on the hood to fenders.

[@bspeers1]

Love that ElCam Shawn Ritchie really hit the nail on the head with the “stockness “ of that bad boy! FM it rips too!! Thx Ritchie😊

[@toddclark332]

So sweet ❤i grew up in a 64 from the age of 4 to about 12 in Santa Paula California❤ have a great weekend brother later

[@hoonaticbloggs5402]

Such a well done ride. Just the right combo 😊

[@scottsavinski9311]

Like you said, It gets down.. Woulda loved a ride in that bad boy!!!

Beautiful n Quick Elky Love the 64-67 Nice Ride Dude👍

[@dlow8737]

Shout out to big Rich I'm subscribed to his son gtp rich and everything these brothers have is super clean.

[@chrislovett6120]

That thing is bad ass. Love the way he built it. It’s amazing what a small block is Capable of these days.

[@rodz7910]

OMG, that is 1 sick ass ride!!! Very impressive ❤

[@tinkyoct14]

The nicest El Camino I've ever seen. Well done. Cheers

[@dastarddizaster]

Awesome sleeper. I totally dig the stock appearing cars (and trucks) that rip below 10's. The faster the better!

[@Stevespoken]

My friend built a 64 Chevelle SS he followed a old Car Craft article on ASA Chevelle s and boxed the trailing arms and gussets the A frames among other things it has a 525 hp 383 w a 150 shot nitrous

[@weekendwarrior556]

Very clean love that motor. This must be one of the last 3 on the trees still in use that's awsome!

[@ckelly9747]

Passengers face looked like he was in a fighter jet wind tunnel test. Woa. That El Camino is pulling some hard straight-line G's

[@travisalbritton605]

that's one of my top 5 favorite cars think I've seen every car you guys have shown smooth looking El Camino love the stock look old schools only way to go

[@cartracer64]

great video, loved that el camino just as he built it nice color scheme, column shift smooth as butter, wheels and tires , stock suspension, car didn't even seem real loud but the power put you back in the seat. looks like he was driving and closing the nitrous bottle as he drove.

[@dave5833]

I just dropped the Dime and bought a 1967 El Camino with a 383 Stroker with less than a 100 miles on the crate engine.

[@impslap7620]

Just saw this. Wow. What a beast. Love the column shifter with reverse valve body.

[@supersport57]

Great looking ELCO

[@TheTheboomwearcompan]

That El Camino is hot and looking forward to ordering that AutotopiaLA t-shirt XL same color.

[@EdwardSteadfast]

Funny to watch dude try not to smile in his own ride😂 be happy Man

[@danmyers9372]

Trying to be cool.

[@EdwardSteadfast]

@@danmyers9372 no, just unneeded modesty. He was plenty cool. I just wished he would have smiled when he got on it. I know he’s proud of that build.

[@ls1says]

Beautiful car but I think the 8’s is kinda pushin it lol I’d love to be proven wrong though!

[@danmyers9372]

Yep. It’s a 9 second car provided he has an ET slip to back it up. How can you say your best ET is 9.30 and then claim it’s an 8 second car?

[@Harlo86]

G Rich pops camino hard. Taking all fades 🏁

[@angelovasilikos7980]

Definitely a very cool build. Car looks great

[@lukiw7044]

You can drive it shopping, You can drive it drag strip. I love it

[@Dmhlcmb]

I love this car so much, total sleeper.

[@dannymac5623]

VERY NICE! My 66 Elco is basically the same "type" of setup and I agree... It works! All stock except the wheels and a ZZ427 Crate engine. Marina Blue too! It can seen on the Schott Wheels website displaying the Mach V Concave Cover-loc wheels, or in the gallery.

[@chrisschuler2278]

Holy balls is that a nice clean elcy I recently got a 66, it runs has a good rebuilt motor new custom interior but some chrome and one or two body pieces, the piece behind the front bumper and a piece in the driver's window

[@paulhammond3488onetime]

That is one bad el Camino. Wow perfectly put together 😮

8 seconds and no roll bar on the track? My things have changed. Sweet ride.

[@fredflinstone5315]

Ok man look ! That thing is no way a 8 second car. Not even a roll bar . My ass was born at night but not last night. 10s on a good day . Cheers people Edit :::: After watching the rest of the video I see I made a mistake. It’s a 13 second ride .

[@danmyers9372]

I’m sure he would love to take your money on a bet. Is it an 8 second car? I say no until he has a time slip to back it up. But 9 second? Yeah that’s possible with the nitrous on a prepped track surface. I don’t think he had the nitrous on during the street hits. No way the tires would have hooked with those small radials on a bare street.

[@Ruffway64]

WOW!!!!! Awesome Chevy

[@AutotopiaLA]

Seriously cool build

[@AJKlos]

We need a t-shirt that says: Autotopia LA…We’ll put some cameras in it and Go for a Ride!

[@Kevinlopez-hu8vx]

Super nice 👌🏻 car

[@ckelly9747]

Dont care if it runs 8,9,10. Its still a tasteful engineering with immediate brute force without whiney superchargers. Just grunt force of N/A motor muscle. 434 is a nasty hogh revving engine. Big blocks nightmare.. Love the Magnaflows.. Deep, crisp, clean neighborhood friendly. I may ditch my Flowmaster 44 series.

[@JedediahSmith342]

Low n slow like a Chicano 😎🏁✌🏽
