Hard to put a price on a car this nice and well thought out. Plus no shop will put the love into it that happens when the actual owner builds it himself..that is priceless.
This is true. Stuff always seems like it's done right when it's your own
You know Chris it's also so hard to find a shop you can completely trust in every way with your car too!
Nailed that comment. Same thought
i hope some redneck steels it and chris tries to get 125 grnd from the insurance hahahahahahaha
I swear this guy deserves soo much more attention his videos should be getting MINIMUM a million views per video love your vids keep up the amazing work
Appreciate it!
Totally agree. Chris is a truly talented guy!! Respect from the UK.@@ChrisSullivan69
I find the transparency so interesting b/c I feel most people aren’t very honest about it or just don’t want to tell you. Thank you for sharing this info Chris.
Thanks for watching!
Hi
You could hold a master class on how to build a show quality muscle car on a budget. Well done, Chris.
Great breakdown, Dude! The key is that you have the skills. As a mechanic I can say that labour alone would add $30,000 to the build. You are a craftsman and artist. Really nice car, well done and congrats!😎
Thanks!
It’s no longer a car , but a tailor fitted epitome of your dreams with no regard to time and money. The ultimate
Most impressive part is that you did most of the work yourself. Congrats, great job and great vid!!! Awesome Car!!!
Thanks!
Your series of build videos add to the value of your Camaro too. Any buyer would know everything about this gem. I'd be surprised if she didn't sell for closer to $200K.
Appreciate it my man🤙
Definitely more than 150k
Is they
Man, I absolutely love your channel. Everything is so well put together, informative, and fun to watch. Keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
You were 100% ahead of the game with a car that was nice to start with. You've got one bad ass ride, thanks for posting this video!
You just gave me motivation too go to school to do this I feel like you’re a genius if you can put a engine together
All of Chris’s videos are good but these cost recaps are so fun. How he bought the desired car and parted out the rest to recoup cost even more genius! Keep up the great content! Probably could get 150k today if he wanted.
Well done Chris! The 69 Z28 has been an all time favorite and takes me right back to high school. Yours is amazing. Proves not all automobiles a depreciating asset.
Been loving the content for years it’s nice to see your audience expanding, you will likely be one of the big cartubers in the next year or two, love the format and the clean cut to the point videos. Keep up the work, I never miss a video because they’re all entertaining
I appreciate that!
Brother you don't stop impressing! Can't wait to see what else you get into! This channel will grow fast!!!! Great work
Appreciate it!
Your videos are inspirational chris. Keep up the great work dude. Love it.
I LOVE that you did this! I have the same running total for my 69. I'm under $13k total invested including the price of the car (bought it in the early 90's) by doing the work myself and doing what you did, bought a running 454 pickup, yanked the motor then sold the truck. Lots of parts of Craigslist and Ebay and recouped a lot of money selling the take-off parts. Thanks for the details, Chris. Love the car(s) and the work you do is top notch! so glad I found your channel.
Totally awesome, you did an incredible job, thanks for sharing that breakdown, your skill set is way up there!! She’s beautiful
Chris, you’ve done a fantastic job going through the details and going into depth like crazy. Hell yeah brotha dude! Hope to see you at some car meets in the spring!
Appreciate it!
Great build, great work, great video. As always!
Hey Chris, I loved this episode. I haven't had an opportunity to go back to do a start to finish on the Camaro so this was very revealing. This build process was really amazing and the passion you show with the vision to see the outcome is impressive. I watch a lot of car builder, salvage rescue shows here on YT and I have to tell you your channel is really extraordinary because you're not "in the business, but a regular guy wish a strong desire to own some fantastic cars AND you finish what you start in spectacular fashion. I salute you 👍🏻👊🏻 P.S. I love that you actually drive your cars
That car is priceless in my opinion. The work and love you got in it has no price tag. Also the way you have it built it kind of makes it a 1 of 1 so worth every bit of the 125k. Amazing content like always by the way….
I appreciate that!
This was an absolute masterclass. Incredible work man
Appreciate it!
This was an awesome video and it kind of put into perspective how much work and man hours you put into this car. Excited to see your next project get started! Congratulations!
Thanks!
Determination, hardwork a little know how and presto. Its like Magic! Good job and well done Chris!👍
Thank you 🤝
Love it, I did all of my trim gloss black on my 68 camaro love the look.
That’s awesome love the breakdown, doing it yourself definitely saves you a ton
Beautiful job 👊🏼I love it and I’m happy to see this video.
Bravo sir. Sweet car. I love your fearless approach.
Thanks! 👍
Really enjoyed this episode, turn up to be amazing car, spec your way, labour of love. Just show's that hard work and dedication pays off 💪
Was with you on the whole build! Like a great movie, was awesome to the end bro! Love the content!
Appreciate it!!
What a great video , this is hands down the best 69 Camaro I’ve ever seen and the way u got the drive train for basically nothing was genius !!! All your sweat equity pays off in the long run
Appreciate it!
Hey Chris, I love watching your videos. I get a lot of inspiration from them. I built a 69 Camaro RS that is similar to yours, but I used a Gen V 6.2 LT1/ TR6060 from a 2018 Camaro SS. Now I'm Building a 72 Camaro RS/Z28 with a 6.6 L8T crate motor and a 5-speed Tremec. I agree you can build cars yourself and save big $$. Keep up the great videos. It keeps me motivated!
Great work Chris the 1st Gen looks killer!!
This is by far one of the best channels on youtube. Only complaint I have is that the videos arent coming fast enough! Love the content and cant wait for the next video.
Working on it!
Thats a great video Chris, good to see it.
This is the content real car guys want. Absolutely love the details and breakdown Chris!
Appreciate it!
What a perfect example of a build breakdown. Such a gorgeous car. My dream car for sure. I’d trade my 2012 zr1 that I’ve got well over 6 figures into for this in a heartbeat. Keep up the awesome videos 🤘🏼
The level of detail and masterful art work you put into your ride is unmatched. You definitely have become one of my favorite CZcams channels! I gotta ask, what is your day job because I would guess Master Mechanic for a specialized shop but won't even try to assume. 😂 Keep up the excellent work man and Happy Holidays!
Been watching since the CTS and now I’m a fan‼️‼️
I always enjoy watching your videos.
Excellent job! You've got a great personality. Speak the truth and are a REALISTIC PERSON! Thats a rarity in this world and you sir have earned a new subscriber!
Thank you sir! Appreciate it
This is insane, I’d never get rid of this car…. Ur very inspiring man shesh
Thats a beauty, awesome work.
I love it bro! Keep up the great work 👍💪👍
I mean...the level of mastery on this build! This guy has all the respect in the world from me!!
🤙🤙
Just really goes to show when you buy a fully restored car you are really buying the labor. The biggest barrier for me to do something like this though is just knowledge. I can't tig weld an exhaust or rebuild a transmission, and frankly its scary to try. Would be fun though.
Chris! Winner Winner Chicken dinner! lol You are one hell of a builder, with major skills brother!! I love the Corbeau racing seats!
Great episode chris🤘🏼
The car is perfect ! Thanks for doing a cost breakdown. My opinion I think hideaway headlights would look great .
Brilliant way to save money! You’re the man!!
Thanks!
OUTSTANDING. Beautiful job. I'm in 33g on my 1972 camaro putting a Lt1 from a 2019 ss into it. Loved watching ur build as It's given me great ideas and motivation. Thank You
Right on!
Thanks for taking us through the details. That was GREAT
Glad you enjoyed it!
One beautiful ride brother.. Huge Props 💯⭐🏁🏁🏁😎
Awesome videos Chris! 😎💪🏻
I’m Darnell from Rocky Mount North Carolina and I Love your videos I can’t wait to see the next one.
I’m sure I have commented this before, but keep the videos coming. Great work!
Very cool break down! I love it
I stumbled on your channel recently, and I'm digging the content. As a fellow NH resident, which I'd bet I'm not too far away, maybe I'll be lucky to catch your rides on the road.
Impressive. Your skills saved that money, amazing. Amazing car.
Hey Chris, love the video. Any chance on doing a video on your background, you are so knowledgeable on so many thing just wondering how you learn all this or is this what you do for your job? Been following you since the start of the 69 build. Keep the videos coming. Great work!
A little bit handy? Dude your a master mechanic cmon
Great work
Chris....forgot how much you did to this car...thanks for sharing...and keep up the good work
I loved this build. Cheers from germany!
Prost!
Your Camaro is absolute perfection. I may be a bit partial, as I have a 2010 SS in Cyber Gray, but still - this build is nearly exactly how I would do it.
Awesome content man. I am newer to the channel have been going back and watching other vids. Would love to see you do an s550 project!
Great information Chris
Thank you for the content I enjoy watching your videos
This dude has great taste. Would love to see his take on a 5th gen zl1
Like you’re post speech Chris!! Make us regular guys really believe! Me at least!!! Great work!!!
Thanks!
Hard work pays off!
Beautiful build lovd the Chanel bro! Wish i had your knowledge to do half of thst work
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU CHRIS ,YOUR BAD ASS 69 CAMARO ,IS DEFINITELY WORTH ,IN MY OPINION $150 GRAND ! IT'S A QUALITY BUILD ,AND A POTENTIAL NEW OWNER WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IN THIS BUILD !! GREAT VIDEO ,KEEP THEM VIDEOS COMING !! JESSE VIA LAS VEGAS
Great video. Mini tub should be next. Awesome looking Camaro.
Very cool Chris !!
I’ll give ya $51,240 for it! lol. You hit the nail on the head Chris, you have to hunt for the deals, you can’t just jump on the first car you see! Buying a solid car is key, it allows you to do the items you want over leaving it at a shop for months and paying a big price for it! Great video!
Thanks!
That’s the way to go when you have the skills and the garage with the right tools and the smart way to save lots of money. Awesome car. Congratulations, really nice work. 👍
Thanks 👍
that is a gorgeous car you did an amazing job that is literally exactly how i would love mine to be i have wanted one of them since i was a kid maybe someday I'll get mine thanks for sharing yours
You have some mad skills!
Beautiful build man you have a lot of talent
Thank you very much!
Great video!! I am currently weighing my options on my 71 Chevelle to do the same kind of thing. Only I would need body and paint. Great job on you super nice Camaro and final cost. Very inspiring
Really liked how you broke it down,Beautiful car buddy
Thanks 👍
Absolutely awesome building. Thanks for the video. Thanks Chris. New subscriber
🤙🤙
Understood. Hope to see you out and about enjoying it when the weather gets nice again up here in New England😮
What's up Chris love your videos I watch them every chance I get what's going on with the sonic blue cobra I'm looking forward on watching that build I have a sn95 and your inspiring to build mine keep up the good work man shouts out from woodlake California
Great job well done!
Love the channel, Chris. I don't think there are many people that can say they built a 69 Camaro or anything of that caliber for $50k. I don't think you give yourself enough credit. Well done!
Thanks!
QUALTIY BUILD SIR FOR REAL, REALLY CLEAN AND WELL PUT TOGETHER 💪
Much appreciated
VERY WELCOME SIR, KEEP THE BUILDS GOING. MIGHT NEED TO GET A PROJECT GOING MYSELF W/ADVICE FROM U SOON
@@ChrisSullivan69
Your a straight savage man, absolutely killer job on everything with the sixty9🤜🏼🤛🏼 ( I like the cost breakdown videos after watching all the episodes on the build👌🏼 ) and those 4l60s hold zero power, so your motor and trans setup are wayyy more desirable 🫡
The Gray Ghost is a beauty! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
wow awesome build
Good call on the body work points at the end of the video. That's where the time suck and lack of skills can really put a dark cloud on the restoration to a great pro touring build.
one of my favorite cars...chevy nation..very awesome videos
Absolutely amazing build! Salute to you sir! 🫡
You just took me back to 1996 when i had a 69 HotWheels Camaro same color. That was my favorite car
Love the videos 🙌
Youre a bad man! my kind of work right here, truly priceless
Nice build!
Dope car brother! You did a great job! 🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate it!!
The 69 is FIRE man. Great build, I enjoyed seeing it ALL come together
Appreciate it
