These mild but wild cars are where it’s at! The priceless, enclosed trailer, never driven, show cars are great, but this type of ride is perfect and pretty attainable for most.
I don't know what '70 Camaros are going for where you live, but one in cherry condition, like this one, are =not= cheap. I had one, a Z/28, in fact, back in the day, but... as a personal, second car... I don't think I'll ever own one again.
@@christophernoto I was speaking of the build level and not being all out custom and intricate. Pretty much any old car in this condition is an arm and a leg these days, also getting harder to find in fields too…
Love the camaros especially the split bumper
Thanks Shawn and everyone for a great day filming. Such an honor to be selected for the channel!!!
Absolutely beautiful car man!!!!
@@trevorsanchez2470 Thanks so much!
@Jay & Laong's World!🤪²⁰²¹ Thank you!
Beautiful car.
Also your profile picture is actually super cool. Isn't obvious what it is, but it's a cool combination of shapes and once you know what it's from, it's perfect. Just thought that was interesting
@@trashbandit2449 Thanks! I love it when people figure out what it is!
Properly done second gen, the right mix of new tech with old school muscle!
Agreed 👊
That color is fantastic. What a deep car. It doesn't try to be more than it has to be, and still comes out more than the sum of it parts....
And those exhaust notes are fabulous.
You said that perfectly 👌
Love that color and the car…a little more power wouldn’t suck but simply a great car
@@AutotopiaLA how were you thinking? I was looking at it, thinking, light warming over. bumpstick, nicer intake manifold + efi. I don't even think it needs much more power, maybe just lighter flywheel/intake
Ghey
I owned a 1970 & 1/2, Z28. When the hood came open at the 2:44 mark, I almost dropped a tear or two! That is exactly what my engine bay looked like. I spent so much time under that hood, that I can still feel the fenders on my beltline. I sold her in order to start a new family when I was still a private in the Army. Miss that ol girl!!!
Yeah, they definitely swapped in those classic cast valve covers from the Z/28. I'm like you, bought a '70-1/2 Z/28 off the showroom floor for $4,000. Didn't get to keep it long, though, just about 15 months. Some very sweet memories, though.
A friend of mine had a 72' back in the late 70s with a 350. He had his engine rebuilt with a hot street setup. That 350 screamed. I had a 69 383 Road Runner at the time I never raced but could tell he could blow me away in a 1/4 mile and my Road runner pulled pretty good even though it burned rubber through most of 1st gear. Also mine had a rear end of just 3:23. I think he was running something like 4:10 gears.
My 77 camaro is "Camaro Gold" just like this one, and I wasn't sure if I was a gold guy when I bought mine. But, I love it! Awesome car!
Great color!!
Such a clean cruiser! Even though i have an LS swap, it makes me happy to see these dudes keeping it original like this.
The the baddest car on the entire show. That is exactly how I want to restore my Corvette. He really preserved the soul of the car.
Second generation Camaros and Firebirds are my favorites of all time. Simply timeless styling
My first car was a 701/2 SS 350 in this Camaro gold…(I’m an old guy) Great restoration, boy, wish I still had it!
Straightforward and clean. Luv 2nd gens - takes me back to better days.
Original...non-LS...refreshing. Really cool ride. Sounds nice and healthy.
My '70 is also a simple build with a GENI SBC. It has great suspension and brakes which makes it a car you could drive every day.
The gold looks so right on this body style. She's a beaut Clark!
The RS front end is so clean. I also love the small '70 rear spoiler and the gold color is great for that era.
Nice build. That guy was so chill.
My Uncle Craig ... God Rest his soul he's on the other side he bought a 73 split bumper rally Sport Camaro 350 4-speed and he owned that 73 Camaro since 1975! Some of my best memories are being a kid and cruising with my Uncle Craig in His 73 Camaro somewhere and Van Halen Running With the devil would be playing on the radio and Uncle Craig would be just calmly tooling around town and he was a long hair hippie it was so much fun!!!! My Uncle Craig was very happy when he found out later in life that I was into hot rods and I was working at a machine shop! He talked with me about building a 350 that could light the tires up and when you'd fire the car up in the garage he wanted it to shake the pictures on the walls of the house! Lol he was mad at my Aunt for sitting on Home shopping Network and spending all his money so he gave me an open checkbook and said little rip son and boy did I ever! I never thought I'd run across another Camaro that sounded identical to his. And I use the Edelbrock Performer RPM package on his 350 4 bolt main motor with a set of TRW forged slugs! Factory Steal Crank! Eagle I beam rods! Upgraded the ignition system to MSD 6A ..... There wasn't no such thing as an MSD 6al yet! Southside machine lift bars! We never did make it a posi or change it from the 331 gears I was too worried about my uncle getting her a little two Sideways .... Lol it didn't need posi you dump that clutch and it would light both tires up really easy! I did put a center Force clutch in it! And they weren't no skinny tires we did some aftermarket center line billet Wheels some 17/8 and 17/9 Front tires were 245/50/17.... Rear Tires were 275/50/17! Back when Flowmasters just became popular I put a set of two chamber Flowmaster mufflers dumping behind the rear tires! But no joke when that Camaro fired up that you're displaying here it sounds identical to Uncle Craig's Camaro! Rip Uncle Craig!!!!!!!
Such a cool memory Dave! Nice!
Thanks for the story and the memory here
This car is sweet! Love how he kept it original for the most part but did subtle upgrades to embellish the ride.
Beautiful car. My old man had a split bumper 70, it was a loud green color. He also had a 55 Bel-Air. That color on his camaro is awesome. So period correct and perfect.
Really great mix of old and new. Just another really cool build. Glad to see it.
Berry, Berry nyce '70!!! These cars are timeless! Still gorgeous after all these years! She reminds me of my first car back in the 80s, a '73 Type LT Camaro in dark brown.
Very nice, I love that he left the original motor in it. Sounds awesome!
He’s doing all the right things here and not going too far
I like how the owner is honest on the power.
Wow, this car works so well- everything that's been done, the wheels, the stance, the original paint scheme- what a complete package. I had the same 300 hp/ 350, autumn gold paint on my 1970 Monte Carlo. Had that car for 20 years, should have kept it.
That was exactly the make and model of how my car looked in high school down to the color and stripes.. I've never had so much fun!!
One beauty right there
Hands down fav gen Camaro this one
Same for me all the way!
The sound of flowmasters 😍
Very beautiful 70 Camaro brother. My mom had a 79 Camaro 6 Cylinder as her first car and man she loved it.
Dude! I have not even watched the video yet. I only viewed the first five seconds of the clip and I'm already in love with the car.
Now this one is a keeper for me! Very well done. Love that it’s manual.
Personally, the split bumper is my favorite camaro. Exceptional car.
Super nice car. Glad he kept this one mostly original.
I love this Camaro!
I own a ‘70 RS, and although not as nice as Brian’s, his is perfect.
I wouldn’t have put the vinyl top back on, either. Thanks for sharing!👍🏻
Love it. The best generation of Camaros. Well up until 73 at least.
beautiful...Not 'over-powered'...Awesome Exhaust 'Music'!....Something You won't 'Get yourself' in 'Trouble With'! Respect for Not 'Over Doing Her'!...Cheers from Canada.
AutotopiaLA...the BEST show on the tube. As a freshman in high school I sometimes caught a ride home with a senior named Scott who had a white on blue SS. I am 54 now and have no idea what hp it had it at that time it was the car that TOLD ME...YOU NEED A CAR LIKE THIS! Hate to break it to you all but by this time I wanted an AC Cobra. Is a Ford fan I became. When I was a junior I rolled up at school in a 78 Cobra 2 Charlie's angel's car. I had wished Scott was there to see it But was glad he didn't drive it.😁
Beautiful and lovely build.
It isn't always about the burnout, very nice car.
Sweet ride. I dig the music as well.
that how you restore an old 70' Chevy Camaro , beautiful done
That Colour Combo Just Works / Goes on this Car ! 👍
Split bumper Camaro’s are just badass. Love the paint combo.
They really are and that black & gold is beautiful
Split bumper or full bumper it don’t matter! They all can look bad to the bone.
Love how its simple nice mix of old and new tech and that paint job excellent work love it
I agree about the early gen 2's. Beautiful body style.
I think it looks awesome. The color really makes it pop
I love what you've done to my most loved car. Thankyou for not messing up its originality. People thats how to appreciate a car for real. Not destroying its original Flava!
The Ultimate CRUISER! and I love the color!!
This reminds me of my 2nd gen. I had a 1972 RS Z28 Clone with a 383 4 speed and a MSD Atomic EFI system. Spin tech exhaust 3 inch. Boy did that camaro move! That was only a few yrs ago and I was the only 21 year old driving one in my neck of the woods. Everything I drive is carburetor to early 90s. Love the old-school feel.
Beautiful, sane car without a roll cage, usable as a family car. 👍
It really looks fantastic! It was originally built/optioned by someone in the know & the restoration was respectful as well.
This f-er raised the hair on my forearm. Holy crap. Brian, this is a masterpiece and I love the color, too.
Right?! The exact same thing happened to me to man!! Absolutely beautiful car!!! And that color sets it off!!!!
That’s a horrible color, but not on this car…
69 was ok, but 70-73 is my Favorite, and 77-80 I also like. Great video
Sounds great
Right here, the best year, best example of 2nd gen Camaro, Bella!
A complete MONSTER! 💪🏽
You know me Shawn. Got to love these cars
Original 70 split bumper. $$. Cool cruiser. Not chopped up. Nice. Very rare.🤩🥰😍😛
Nice Camaro, like that its mostly stock. Had a 71 Firebird 350 way back when, very similar in color. Wasn’t keen on the color either at first but grew on me and got plenty of thumbs up from the ladies😊
I love your videos man. Big fan from Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺
Loved it. I had a base model 72 Camaro... really base... inline 6 and 3 speed. It lacked a bunch(!) of straight-line speed, but I surprised quite a few people on the curvy roads with proper gas shocks and radials (this was when radials first were getting popular).... mid 70s.
I love the 2nd gen body style of all Camaro’s
Damn that's a badass car, especially for being Standard!
sounds great and looks even better
Good little mix..I like it..Good Job!
Like you guys said, gold goes great with that car, love the ss stripes too. Beautiful car!
My mom had a 1970 Camaro in gold. I remember her driving it off the lot and my brother saying, “Don’t get the tires dirty!” Ha! We immediately drove to the beach. Fun times.
That's sleek and stylishly with a great note to it. In Australia Ford called that colour Tropic Gold. 😎👍
That's cool to know!
That’s a badass cruiser man!! Not overdone, very elegant!! Beautifully done😎!!
Great great build but I’m still 67-69 fan😍
Nice ride....I have a 71.....and I'm headed to the same destination
Awesome car , 2nd gens are my favorite Camaro 👌🏾
I Love so mutch this car, and Manual Gear Box Is the Cherry on top
One dam sweet ride
I'm glad to see the old cars with modern components. Style meets technology.
This is the car we all wanted to have in the 1980s. Clean, fast and puts a smile on your face.
That Roadster Shop f-body full-frame conversation should be on the menu.
It’s SICK!!!
They make incredible chassis’
I’ve always loved those 70s colors that no one liked back then, keeps the car period looking. Yet when you modify the car it doesn’t take away fro the looks as much, beautiful car!
That is one bad ass Camaro. Nicely done. Shawn, you are having too much fun. 👍
Absolutely stunning.
Love it. Color is def perfect for its era. Big fan of the split bumper's. I wouldn't change a thing about this Camaro. Great vid as always Shawn. I would kill to have your job
Gen 2 Camaros are the best looking. beautiful
Awesome original car congrats for keeping this beauty true to its roots love it
Just a super clean 70 Camaro with a great stance. Really nice simple build, wheels look awesome with the stance also
The most magnificent gold colour I have ever seen on a car…..man it just works!! WOW!
I know! Same for me with that gold
Actually pretty sure this is a '71 Camaro color called "Placer Gold" It looks identical to my '71 Z/28 placer gold black striped car I owned.
Such beautiful sounds...
What a car! Shaun, you have great cars in LA!
Very nice. Love the old split bumper
That thing is just perfect! Original with some modern amenities, that only make sense too.
Beautiful stance on this old girl! Keeping her (relatively) stock is the only way here!
Keep up the awesome content here Shawn! Loving it!
👍🇦🇺
I’m usually all for radically modding cars but this one is perfect as is given its originality and that gold is stunning!
@@AutotopiaLA saw the thumbnail and thought “here we go...another radically altered classic “
Sounds awesome too!
👍🇦🇺
Great looking gen 2 love that color. Yeah it's a time capsule I remember riding in them back in the day. When I drive my foxbody it takes me back to those days. Great video
Bumblebee looks 🔥
Nothing like an old school car😎
Nice, solid, nuts and bolts chevy there!
Absolutely beautiful car man!! I love that color!!!! And boy oh boy does that thing sound great!!!!!
Love it!
Beast 😎
Really a nice CAR! The owner kept its old school style with decent rims and suspension. This is an eye catcher... Nice tune in the background "Don't Break · SINY" Gorgeous scenery "California of course" ;-)
I love how he’s kept what needed to stay original and upgraded suspension, wheels and exhaust
Beautiful camaro that's 1 I would love 2 drive nice job nice video 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Shawn,
Love the channel, presentation style, editing, appreciation of the history, and dedication to the industry. Keep the videos coming. Amazing job
Thank you and I always have to credit my team (Paul, Kyle & Chris) for making our content what it is. More to come I promise!
I love the gold with black stripes on that car, it pills it off so well. I love the early second gens also. I seen an awesome black Z/28 in the mountains of Puerto Rico sitting on the side of the road. I would of loved it if I could afford to buy it and ship it home.
Never too late to buy your dream.
