The rear spoiler was pilfered from Pontiac prior to the debut of this car in Trans Am by Chevrolet engineers. The car had a tendency to lift at speed and the low spoiler did not produce enough downforce to plant the car.
lmao
OMG, that has to be the COOLEST SOUNDS I'VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE!
I love when I find a new car to add to my list of "one day cars". I can only imagine what it sounded like when a pack of these ripped around a track. Your channel is awesome man. We get a little bit of everything.
I love the sound of naturally aspirated engines.
Now that's what a f****** race car sounds like🎧💪💪💪💪🤘
@@codywatts7625 Who needs a big block when you have a small block like that?
High compression short stroke small block Chevy 💪
What a privilege to have a ride in that car and such a cool owner. He's the kind of owner collector's should be.
It was and I completely agree with you. He’s such a cool guy and I love that he drives his cars. Wait til you see our next one with him and his 1967 Shelby Cobra...wow!!
I literally said “hell yeah” when he said why can’t we drive it?!?! My man!!!
That car and owner are awesome. Way to have an Iconic ride and use it. That N/A 302 Chevy gets all of it!! I have a old school but built to the hilt 327 L-79/M21 stick in my 68 Camaro and it likes to hammer and rev to the moon. It's impossible to just drive it, the heart races in anticipation because they have nothing down low and then it's Holy Sheite, car going sideways and tire smoke follows.
Awesome comment and sounds like you have a badass 68 there
Whether it’s got a 327 crank or a 283 crank, a 327 block makes a magic engine. Sure miss mine.
That dude is a legitimate badass. Way too cool. Awesome friggin' car and video.
hes coked out too
finally a trans am car! Hell yeah
Love the "your a real badass" shoulder tap, He really is !! Thank you for this video made me so happy.
The baddest ride yet! I worked for Dick Guldstrand many years ago, he had excellent stories from the old days, I miss him.
“.... eight if you need it...”
🤘
Finn Green best line in the episode
This guy is the real deal, Tommy loves his car! The car is a real historic peice, that still runs!
I have been scouring TH-cam for vintage trans am videos just to catch a glimpse of THIS car. Thanks so much for posting this. This is my inspiration for my 73 Camaro build. Thanks AutotopiaLA!
Still my favorite race series of all time. I worked for J Bittle at JBA Speed Shop (former owner of JBA exhaust) who runs the #29 68 Shelby coupe and got to see the IMSA and SVRA racing up close and in the pits. I follow Tommy on IG, love this car.
I'm a Mustang guy but that was epic! I love the history of that car!
Iconic car I remember from my childhood! Too cool!
Jay leno, take note Autotopia is what the people want.
I saw Jim Halls Chaparral Camaro AND AutotopiaLA and got super excited. One of my all time favorite race cars, and has given me lots of inspiration on my build.
Love the Trans-am cars, and to see one driven hard on the street was a good show....top notch stuff
This car is pure bad ass! Gotta love them blowing through the industrial park, going by the 35 mph signs! The SCCA cars are incredible, getting ready to build a 1970 Firebird vintage SCCA car with the Pontiac 303. This video just gets me chomping at the bit to get going on it!
When you get it done please show it to us! We were shocked when he said let’s go for a drive. Didn’t expect that at all!!
@@AutotopiaLA I sure will, hope to have it on the track at a vintage SCCA race as soon as I can! Shooting for summer of 2021 right now.
Is this Steve McQueen’s long lost bro ?
Ha that was great Shawn, thank you so Much !!
Having seen this car in person, the sight line down the sides is spectacular, someone with MORE than a little skill did those fender flares
Well that's just BADASS, man. A 302 Chevy at full song is glorious! 👍😎
Yes it is. What an incredible day of shooting for us!
I had an Aurora AFX ho slot car in the early Seventies that was just as fast and fun. Nice to see a winner restored and driven T/Y-
I love that he drives this like it was meant to be driven and also does some historic races with it
Shawn, you have the best job in the world!!
Definitely having fun!
Three generations of us worked for Rohm & Hass company in Bristol Pa. They were the inventors of plexiglass and held GM contracts through the 90’s for airflow and body parts both for general assembly and racing teams.
MORE, MOAR !!!!! Need more vintage T/A race cars. BEST episode ever ! Coolest owner/driver yet. 2 thumbs up
Soo freakin awesome!! More trans am racing cars!! Would love to see some first gen Firebirds
Awesome.... thank you Shawn & Tomy - "why can't we drive it - we'll come back to you on that" !
The best looking car GM ever made... The second generation Camaro!! 1st. Place at Watkins Glen, that's no joke, very technical track!!
Agreed. Still my favorite Camaro ever is 2nd gen
I can just imagine the amount of adrenaline these 2 gentlemen felt during that run.. trust me I know the feeling.. That was badass!!!!
It was so much more than I expected. Couldn’t stop smiling!
Nothing cooler than a 100% race car on the street
The plastic on the nose was made by Lexan which sponsored Chaparral... Specially made skirts for the J vacuum car. So Hall also used it for the Trans-Am Camaro project.
I'm usually a mustang freak, but I wouldn't hesitate to purchase a Camaro like that.
What a dz302 sound! When i have my chevy, i wanna make a dz302 tribute to an Chevy V8 😍😍
Loved that car in 1970, love it now! As a youth my automotive heroes were Jim Hall, Smokey Yunick, and Grumpy Jenkins (no particular order). My sbc MGB (500hp@2350lbs.) will be having Donuts tomorrow morning!
You know its a good ride when the passenger stays quiet for a while .
I just had an EARGASM... 🤤
That car sounds very angry! “Holy shit dude” indeed...
Very angry old Trans Am racer
That is so badass! Tomy Is a badass!
The sound of this camaro is🔥🔥🔥
OMG what a car and to own such an awesome car is out of this world, one luck dude to have this in his ownership👍
Sounds damn good!
Pure race car...the sound was incredibly and perfectly loud!
Holy shit is right ! I'm just the moron who would put headlamps and liscense plates on this car and drive it to church on Sunday ! I own a 69 Z/28 and my son wants me to do a trans am race car for the street.... I think he's on to something !
Best video yet ! 🍻
I love trans-am cars. One thing that I always found strange how so many people don’t know about it.
Definitely a lot of people in Mustang and Camaro group aren’t aware. Every time I bring it up I get the ol “Trans-Am’s we’re made by Pontiac genius!” Comments.
Yeah buddy! All muscle car nuts should know about Trans-Am and the SCCA, if not for them muscle cars would suck! Aside from drag racing Trans-Am is why muscle cars exist. Everyone knows about NASCAR and "Stock Car" racing but Trans-Am is REAL Stock Car racing! Like you said, Camaro and Mustang people don't know about it but those cars were built intentionally to compete head to head in Trans-Am just like the Firebird (people don't get Trans-Am was an option package named for the racing series 😝), Amc Javalin, Challenger, Barracuda and Cougars.
@@JackDaniel617 And Pontiac had to pay the SCCA a royalty for every Trans Am they sold.
Dang, the locals probably that the apocalypse was coming when they heard that thing coming down the street!
It’s certainly not quiet
Awesome car.
Dude must really dig it too, having his teeth painted to match the body color!
I think this is the only time I've ever seen Shawn look apprehensive 😁. Few things in life better than a running, driving vintage Racecar!
What the efff,that cr is a freekin MONSTER
Those flared fenders are jaw dropping
That’s bad ass!
True old school legend of Trans Am racing!
This is what I have been waiting for!!!
This car is god sent🔥🙏💯
Hell yeah smoke em if you got em
It was kinda thrilling to watch the old school getaway driver in his element. Dude looks like he's down for few last street moves. Raw dog, no F's given. Luvvit
He’s such a cool guy and yeah, he can drive with no fucks given
love it! Thanks
From 1970 to 1973 are the best Camaros in my opinion.
Would like to see more Trans-Am cars, escpecially Posey's Challenger
Would be cool but just don’t know enough of these locally
Beautiful music. 😁
This thing is pure music to my ears. Deafening loud and perfect imo
MY GODDDDD 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 duddeeeeeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️ this thing is freaking insane!!!!!!!! The owner drives like a boss!!!
He’s such a badass and that car is not only pure race but a legend. Awesome day shooting!!
Badass
Yessir. Total badass!!
Hell yeah you guys took it out on the street!
That shocked the hell outta me! Wasn’t expecting that at all!!
For such a high rpm motor didn't expect a dual plane intake!
I can't believe you guys got away with that in broad daylight 🤣🤣🤣
When the sun goes down, they rob banks...
Sweet! 😎
Love it.
Me too...the sound..the history and of course, the ride Tomy took me on!!
WOW! 👍🏻
This very car has been faithfully replicated as a mod for Assetto Corsa. I drive it multiple times every week! Looks [almost] exactly the same and sounds exactly the same. I would be curious to know if Tommy has tried it in a sim and what his take is. If not, my door is open. I run a Thrustmaster T300RS wheel, T3PA Pro pedals, a TH8A shifter with a HALL effect e-brake. Sliding around corners is a blast! I recently found this channel and am thoroughly enjoying the videos - great content!
Thank you for the compliment and yeah, this is a special car. Not a replica but the actual one of one original factory Chaparral Camaro. Wow!!
Side pipes are the answer to all our problems.
They sure are!
That car is so fkn bad ass!!
No words...GREAT...!
Well a frw
I'm pretty sure 70-73 Camaros didn't have cowl induction hoods ,SS or z28
No no no ... we’re taking her on the street!!!
Couldn’t believe that happened! He’s the coolest
Chevy Thunder !
Yessir! True legend right here
Your face expressions going through that ride along. Lol priceless
I was shocked and felt like a little kid. Couldn’t stop smiling!
AutotopiaLA there’s a million words in facial expressions
Thanks again Shawn for another great video. I love to see a guy like Tomy who knows how to drive them 😎This one I paused and put on to my tv and 7.1 sound system 🤘
Shawn, that is one of the best car videos I've ever seen!
I love historic race cars, and and for the owner to take it on the street, so cool.
Thank you from Australia.
Thanks. I can’t believe we took it on the streets! He’s my new hero!! And more to come with Tomy and some of his historic cars
This car is like a P51 Mustang fighter, elemental in the same kind of way.
I want that ride bad!!!! One Snappy little SOB. .... can't believe he was out driving that in La LOL that's hilarious
Bad ass!!
Love it! I have the AFX slot car from the early 70s.
I can just picture in Epic video with the whole city shut down and this car getting chased by the cops
Thanks for sharing this incredible automotive history, Tomy is definitely a badass!!💨💨💨
🏁🇺🇸
Legend
Dam, cool car . Follow your channel you do some great vids. I'm from the uk and were not so lucky to have the muscle cars ... think they are awesome..👊👊👊👊
Delicious.
An Amazing piece of history - glad it still exists - also, one of the best looking Camaro's ever ...
sounds totally insane
I just wanted to know what it is underneath the body -- what kind of suspension.
Did you wear Ear plugs for that ride, what an Insane sound, music to my Ears. 🤙🏼🍺
Wow
We are attempting a restoration of Warren Agors Hugger Orange number 13 car. Our company sponsored Agor Race team for 3 years and we have a ton of original photos.
dz 302 ! Love it. Tire specs ? Please
He drives like me when i was 21 in a 400hp 4 speed 327 chev powered 1974 holden L34 torana weighed about 2612 lbs, burnt the tires at over 70mph in second gear, was a blast to drive hauled serious ass ,back in lat 90s nothing around my hometown could touch it out on the freeway rolling start
I wish I would had seen this video when it originally dropped. I use to work on that car. I worked for one of the previous owners. He was the one that originally restored it.
Not only is the hood purposely miss aligned like that. The doors were, too. The front fenders door jam edges were slightly out farther than the door's leading edge for heat extraction.
Man I would love to see that car up close again one day. Allot of memories. Although I am the dumbest car guy in the world. The then owner of the car told me I could take the car out for a spin at PIR. I said no. I'm not a driver. I'm a mechanic. What the Hell was I thinking 🤔
American V8 revving at 7500rpm is so sick! 😈😈😈😍😍😍😍
According to my poster out of an 80’s issue of hot rod. The 1969 dz 302 in the Penske camaro made 402hp @ 6800 and 340 ft/lbs @ 5500
11.15:1 compression
fsca72 “6800rpm” 🤣🤣🤣
Driver Jay they are obviously getting more rpm out of it now with the advent of modern cams and valve springs. If you read what I said, it was an 80’s magazine listing the specs of the 69-70 race engine. That was old cam technology in 1970 with large amounts of lash which peak hp was at 6800. Back then I’m sure that 302 still pushed well past 6800
So happy to see this last effort by Jim, restored and driven !! I want 2 cars in this world. A Ford GT40 MKIV and a Chaparral 2E
Good choices for cars there 👊
Super sweet Camaro love the early 70's design and this is perfection.
2nd gen Camaros didnt have cowl hoods from the factory and..... the tall rear spoiler wasn't available on production camaros until 1971.
Good eye
