Im from england, its my dream to have a muscle car restored from US, you guys make monsters!!!!
Anything is possible man, turn your dream into a reality!
Good thing is with money your dream can come true. Figure out a price point and go after it. Shipping will be a couple a grand by boat. But because your closer to Dubai you could pick up something nice from there. That was already shipped that way.
If you ever visit, you can’t drive it!
It's bc here in US we have a lot more room to drive around lol.
Do it! I did, got a 71 Nova SS. Used a company in the UK called ship my car. You can get a quote really easily.
It warms this old heart to see a young dude building a classic muscle car!
Thanks for the support. Got a couple more Chevelles in the works now. Quite addicting
Hey man old school is the only way to go they sure don’t build em like they used to! Can’t go wrong with an Ls motor in an older car tho. New power old car= lots o fun 🤩
@Colten Reese not gonna work on me.(no instagram act)
I could not agree more ...Im installing an LS built brand new for my 1970 olds 442-w-30 conv this week....582-hp...
Amen
Much prefer these old American cars with smaller 17" wheels rather than these 20s people put on.
I like thick rubber
So funny you say that I started with 15 inch stock rallies sold them went up to 20s sold them bought some 22 inch forgiatos sold them just bought some 15 inch cragers lmao with white letter and a lot of tires lmao went in a big circle lmao
20s with run flats really do make the cars feel like they're on rails though, really tightens up the handling. May not be ideal aesthetically but they have their place outside of looks for sure.
@@DavidRobertsOfficialBut ruins the ride
68/69 Chevelle is one of my favorite cars. This one is beautiful. Nice job! Be safe!
Thanks so much!
I like 66/67👍
One of the coolest Chevelles around. The car matches the driver.👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Damn! Thank you!
I would rather have 4-500 controllable horsepower than 800 uncontrollable any day. Awesome build!
Love it!
Not me. More the better. I have a 680hp 68 mustang. But i want 900hp
Yes, it's cool to experience more of the range of revs and power and 'get to know' the car.
Great car
Yeah but capable of 800,900 hp though
This takes me back to when I had one. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love this nice simple builds, way better than 6figure protouring rs chassis cars
Definitely not 6 figure haha thank you
Swan is a natural behind the wheel
Thanks brotha Chris!
They call that stance the "California Rake" from back in the day.
Love it! Might need to be a new IG page or hashtag
Thank you kindly...my ancestors needed that!
My kinda car and my kinda car guy, What a kid !!!!!! I love this, I hope this inspires many kids. Great job kiddo !!!!!!!!
17's, mega stance, not mega budget or horsepower, drivable, cool back story... that's a legit Chevelle right there, absolutely love it! 👍🏻
Really great story and great driving car. Plus that Black Widow sound!!
My fav. Love them chevelles! Always a blast watching. Keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Absolutely perfect build and story, well done!
Beautiful, I've always loved the Chevelle! Great work.
Thanks
That exhaust note was very nice. I put my good headphones on to better enjoy it. Dude built a solid car.
Thank you! Can see more of it on Instagram as well @all4speed
Like those donuts it made me happy
He loves throwing it around
What a wild ride, hang on Shawn. Nice car young man
He’s a great guy and recently added a supercharger along with a few more upgrades
Love this car! Can't wait to get my 69 Malibu out in a couple months!
Nice! Excited for you. I’d you’re local come cruise in SoCal!
Just goes to show that 400 ish HP is enough to have fun with on the street. Nice build young man!
Very much so, a healthy power to play with. Much more is just wheel spin haha
And that was 400ish to the wheels, gotta be in the 500 neighborhood at the crank. 🙌🏼
The stance on that though... 🔥
Thank you!
Amazing video as alway guys!! Glad to see Swan finally got his car there
Hell yea! Thanks for watching it!
I love it when I see and hear that a young person is into building old school muscle vehicle especially the chevelle. Awesome car.
Had one many years, great cars.
truly!
Donuts at the end.....priceless !!!.
Had to watch to the end for the bonus haha
I hope my 66 Skylark GS is this good when done. Thanks!
I've had my '68 Chevelle for 40 years and it doesn't look this good ...deep pockets helps a lot ...
@@richki.24 I hear you. I am wearing a Speedo. ;)
I am sure it will, just dont let people stop your motivation and grind! Start with the things that are most important, dont spend extra on things that keep you from getting further into the build.
@@richki.24 if only you knew the struggles to build this. 20 years of my life and you're looking at my savings during that time haha 1 part at a time. no extra spending
@@all4speed , good luck with it and don’t ever sell it.
Perfect amount of reliable power...plenty of torque. The dyno queens almost always are short lived before they pop.
This ls swap is well done...got the old school sound, very clean underhood, took his time and properly built the engine
Not a 200k mi takeout that can blow anytime.
One of my absolute favorite muscle car bodies. Absolutely gorgeous. The story behind the car is great too
Thank you!
damn my respects to you bro u gave me a great idea try n do this with my son hes 5 n he likes cars specially old school i have a 79 z28 n he really likes the car always wants to to help lol thanks for this video shawn👍🏻🇺🇸
My dad started us young, driving around in his classic, the sound, the smells are all still familiar. Its a memory with me forever.
The sound and stance is CRAZY! 👍🏾
the sound note is amazing, reminds me Tom Cruise in "Jack Reacher" movie the chase scene.
Man!! That’s my favorite part of the whole movie!! Especially when they have the stare down at the convenience store, and Tom is just sitting there idling...
The 17s and some sidewall looks great here
And the sound 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thanks! I really wanted to avoid oversized wheels
@@all4speed Tasteful choices all around. The wheels are a big part of that. 😎
Sweet looking ...
Thank you!
Great build by @all4speed swan! 🤘
Thanks Bryce, your charger is next!
@@all4speed can’t wait! 👊
Beautiful!
With a great story
Love it,sounds well too
Thanks!
Great car. I especially like that he went no bigger then 17 on the wheel size. These older muscle cars look fantastic with some sidewall.
Agreed! Thank you
'Streetable' Muscle'! The Power & torque Not 'Outrageous'..to Make Yah 'SCARED SHITLESS'!...Built By an 'Blue Collar-Dollars'!....RESPECT..... 'Young Man'!
I love that crazy sound 🤩🤩👍I love Chevrolet and Ford ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Great cars!
PURE STEEL OF DETROIT
gotta love it, thanks!
I can so relate to a working man's build! Most of us have a budget to live by! Please keep these types of builds coming!
This Chevelle is GORGEOUS. I love everything about it. It's obvious that this one gets driven and enjoyed, too.
Thanks that’s one thing I built it for, to drive it
@@all4speed I keep coming back to this Chevelle. What is this paint color? It's gorgeous.
Great car. Enough to get you in the pit of the stomach but not so crazy you can't really get on it. Love the stick as well.
exactly right! though i still want some boost :)
@@all4speed I'm a supercharger guy myself. That whine is intoxicating. Many years ago I drove a buddy's 23T bucket with a blown 428CJ. Super squirrelly. Could barely touch the throttle but I was hooked on the sound.
Well said! It’s the sound for me too
This channel always brings a smile to my face! #nomaskgang 😎
Thanks for watching!
That car is fucking gorgeous ❤️
Thanks Jared, you can see more on Insta @all4speed
Best fucking story I’ve heard in a while this can be a Great Disney movie sandlot type but with a car
That’s an interesting idea!
A perfect Chevelle everything is done right I love the stance and wheels, and the sound is so cool
Wow, thanks for the compliment!
It's loud & nasty and I love it! This is the best argument for having a paper route as your first job.
Thanks!
That's a proper hot rod
All that car needs is rear tires.
Nice looks good sounds good and is a driver.
im still learning and getting better haha i make funny faces i learned
Let's all appreciate how awesome the steering wheel is as well :)
It needs to be realigned haha
My wife's fav muscle car 69 chevelle. One badass bitchin ride
Thanks for sharing, hope she enjoyed the video!
@@all4speed oh we both did
Chevelles are America.
Pure and true
I like the 66 Chevelle Story 👍Fantastic Passion 👌Super Build👊 my Respect for Daniel Swan👏...love this Chevelle 🔥🔥🎶🎵V8 sound Wicked😈
Thanks so much!
@@all4speed my pleasure to appreciate your amazing job 👍
How’d you get that alternator to clear the steering box?
Fbody accessory drive, the motor mounts I used (ict adapters) set it just right that you can slide a credit card between the belt/pulley of the alt between the box haha
Shawn’s reaction during the donuts at the end is so great. I love how giddy these restomod muscle cars make him...we’re kindred spirits, brother
That’s the truth!! Instant smiles and laughs from me everytime!!
Hey I know this car! Congrats on the segment man. Good to see you driving the wheels off that bad boy!
That’s what we build for! Thanks for showing some love! Can’t wait to see the MalIBoom back on the strip!
I ask this just about every video, so, from here on forward, PLEASE get diff and gearing info(if they're willing to give it up)...
We talked about it, stuff gets edited out for more of the story. It’s 3.73 notice gear, 12 bolt Posi Detroit trutrac, moser axles. Factory rear end. 6 speed lt model t56 magnum trans rebuilt with Ls1 corvette internals
Motive gear *
Such an AWESOME KiCK A$$ Chevelle!!! I Love It!!
Very cool car and owner!
Swan is such a cool guy and it come through in the Video, and he he drives his hot rod like it should be driven!
Thanks dude, take a rad dude to know one!
What is the backspacing on the wheels front and rear? Beautiful car.
Great episode... Danial is such a cool dude, and the back story of his Chevelle makes so much cooler. Check him out on the KarPage app if you want to see his Previous Car! Some of you might be surprised: www.karpage.com/all4speed #karpage
Definitely some surprises there haha
Nice car..I really like the story..I prolly would get some c4 zr1 replicas that are about 17x9.5 and 17x11 for cheap to add grip and the look similar to what he already has..other than that..I love his car...nice review..🏁💪
Thank you! Yea that would be nice but 11s are hard to tuck on a 69 chevelle
@@all4speed wow..I didn't know that..great car..Keep up the good work..👍🏁
They wouldnt fit without some large spacers.
@@gordocarbo I buy spacers then..🏁👍🏽
..a manual six speed!! That's the best of this car you ask me..GREAT
It’s so much fun!
My father in law is 81 he told me he has owned 25 to 30 fords in his life, "Fords are easier to work on but Chevy makes better looking cars." He is so right.
Haha Thanks!
Killer video guys, Swan loves burning up them tires 💪💪🔥🔥
Haha were very similar
Awesome Chevelle!! It's so cool to watch videos where the owner didn't break the bank rebuilding it. The owner has done a beautiful job and love the US flag on drive shaft, ntm the exhaust is just badass, I love the sound it makes too. Great video guys!!
Thanks man, I really tried to keep good originality through where it made sense, keeping it tasteful to not lose that amazing classic touch and sound!
@@all4speed I had to watch the video twice, it was that good and shared it with a few friends too.
Very much appreciated!
best vids are always these chevelles 🤤
It’s a great American built car
First I dig the stance. I'm old school and that's how a muscle car should sit. Even the wheels and tires look good. Sounds great too.
So similar to my nova .... bought it when I was 13..... had to sell it when I was 15..... bought it back when I was 31.... now I’m 36 and finally starting to pull it apart..... only forward now...
thats a killer story as well. do you have the build on Instagram?
@@all4speed no so far the build has been just parts gathering..... single income.... young kids.... work away from home.... typical story
I hear ya, no kids yet for me. But one day this will be theirs
@@all4speed put your car in Dads name before you wed trust me.
Get it in writing/a trust you get it back
God I love the smell of burning rubber
Wish you could have been there haha
Car sits right, isn’t overdone and looks just as good as some of the rides that cost twice as much.
Nice ride!
Wow I appreciate the kind words!
Badass
I can smell the burning rubber from here (Kansas).
Haha that’s great!
He had me at American flag painted driveshaft! What a cool car and even cooler young man!!
Garage built?
I always build my shit in the taco bell parking lot.
That Chevelle is just perfect! The sound, the rake, and especially the look of the front end with the wheels turned. There's something about that negative camber, combined with the lip spoiler that makes it look really good. Though it's hard to go wrong, with a 2nd gen Chevelle anyway. I love it!
Another sweet Chevelle------looks like fun
Thank you!
Yup. Shoulder belts clipped up, as they should be! We always used to do that back in the day 😎
I loved keeping the originality where it made sense. I didn’t want to lose the cool stuff that makes it classic. I was always so excited to get those in.
Shoulder belts never came down on our ‘71. Love where this car is going. This Chevelle embodies the true spirit of the enthusiast in virtually all respects. Stay rowdy, friend!
Shoulder belt .. on top awesome! can you tell me the brand and how you put it there.. congrats about your car!
@@patricksellhorn6518 The shoulder belts are a factory option in chevelles. Mine were restored by a guy in NJ or NY. Now you can buy them I think through places like OPGI.
Hear lottsa folks saying the 69 Camaro was the best looking care ever built in that era, but these 69-70 Chevelles were right there. Beautiful lines, and badass looks. Love em.
I love me a chevelle!
Good and cool ride .but when you that gas the owner feel in his 🚗
hahaha
This one is my favourite car, simple and very low profile.
Nice daily drive beast the sound music to the ear
I do drive it a lot!
Great story! Pumped for Daniel to get this chevelle together and be able to enjoy it!
Thanks Nick, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice!!!
Thanks!
I own a very similar build.
'69 402 based 440 stroker,3" exhaust, TKO 600,built rear 4.11 gear,17/18" torque thrusts,QA1 suspension.
Love the front spoiler!
Where did you get it?
Sounds like you have a good one too. His info is in the description of the video
LOVE the way its sits
Thank you!
👍 what a great car and he seems like an awesome guy. There is not a car person out there that wouldn't want your job. Keep those videos coming buddy. It's amazing the talent some of these people have to build awesome cars that you review. I never miss an episode. 30 years ago my 69 SS 396 wasn't pretty but I've been told as I spank somebody on the street that the front wheels come off the ground. It was purpose-built. Now I drive a damn Sentra.
You’ll make your way back!
Nice honest home build and a young dude no less, so awesome!
Hope to inspire more youth to start early.
Oh that 69!!!!
Thank you!
Where do we stand with this EPA stuff guys? I never got to modify my 2011 mustang 5.0..looks like I may not get that chance either...😔
Scary stuff
Very nice and super clean. Dude has that car dialed in!
Still more to dial haha
Chevelle is a chevelle always like a little demons 👍. My grandma when young she buy the fabric new 69 chevelle automatic and not power steering in gold with vinyl top . When I grow up I falling love of that car , now the chevelle is not more in the family but I thinking buy one for me and remember the old times.
Definitely buy one! The memories are one of the best parts.
Dope car and cool guy that didn’t go overboard. Everything is perfect.
Makes me wanna throw a 6 spd in my 72 ss
Definitely do it, so much fun! And thanks for the kind words
Being a Chevelle guy....keep em coming...great story...great build.
Thanks for watching!
Can someone tell me how much a non SS, small block 1969 chevelle costs
Really depends on quality of the car
@@AutotopiaLA well, I want one to work on, but still in good condition to drive
Good Lad the Sound is immense the Stance is so Cool n the guy Enjoys his bad ass Muscle car your living the dream
Thanks so much!
69 Chevelle is the best lookin car Chevy ever built, imo anyways, beautiful car
Thanks!
17’s are perfect on the 70’s muscle cars.
Nothing worse than oversized wheels
thanks!
