How to Spend $300K on a Twin Turbo 1969 Camaro 

People that understand don’t need an explanation; people that need an explanation won’t understand. Very impressive car!

I’d take one of these before a lambo 😂 I don’t understand the confusion, you’re literally rebuilding a whole new car....lol that costs money!

Idk why this channel doesn’t have 500k followers. So under appreciated! But very appreciated by its subs!

$300K car and you need a prop rod to hold the hood up? Was gas struts not in the budget? lol. Still it's a cool car, thanks for posting.

I just came across your channel this evening and I have been watching video after video after video. You have really good content, seriously one of the best channels I have ever seen. Thank you for your videos.

I would take that car over a spaceship and am not kidding. No words can describe that car and the amount and variety of work that went into it.

120k in parts, the rest labor, quality is never cheap.

Mike has three beautiful cars in his collection, '69 Camaro's are my favourite of all the Camaro's, this one is exceptional. Great video of giving us some facts and figures of what goes into these builds. One of my all time favourite channels on RU-vid my man, great work😎👍

Smart man. He bought it after it was built. You save big money. That is one beautiful ride. I love turbo cars....

Over half the budget went to making the builder rich , would be the short version . Beautiful car none the less , and great video quality , so i subbed .

I think other than the color and powerplant this build as a whole defines my dream car! Beautiful body style a clean simple look with the drivetrain and suspension to make it handle on rails! The scenery was great too 😍 Great vid Shawn!

If you got the funds to build or buy a 69 Camaro like this...awesome..most of us don’t...but we have this channel to watch to enjoy a beast like this..what a car...it’s looks and sounds amazing...thanks Shawn

Love that camaro shawn absolutely stunning Great work. And very informative keep up the great work bro

Love the videos man! Keep up the good work!

loving your videos brother! got yourself a new sub and notisquad!

Wow! I knew there was alot of money put into these cars to make them what they are. But $300k? Totally worth it I'm sure. But jeeez. And Just to let you know ... The part of the video that was discussing the parts and components and their cost was NOT boring. I don't know how you controlled yourself driving that in those rides and kept yourself from putting that $300k thru its paces. I can't even imagine what it must feel like behind the wheel of something like that. Excellent episode!

Another cool video, don't get hung up on some people's comments... Just keep bringing us the awesome builds!

Love your videos Sean, amazing! You really make me want to buy another foxbody mustang. I really miss having a muscle car after watching this video. I miss the sound and excitement it gives having a muscle car. Keep doing what you are doing brother. I am truly a huge fan.

People who aren't car enthusiast or don't know anything about building a muscle car the right way will never know or truly understand. Forget the famous name of a shop, the person could be a backyard engine builder or body and paint guy and do better then a big name shop. I've known people who have bought muscle cars from Barrett Jackson Auctions and received lemons once they got their hands on it! Always know and have someone you can trust when dealing with a high end build, no matter what the vehicle is. I have 69 Camaro RS/SS Original 396/4 Speed, that I've been building as a Pro Touring car. Just to give you an idea it has a 632CI naturally aspirated BBC dynoed at 1097HP(Pump Gas 91 Octane), no trans, no interior, bare metal but a lot of custom bodywork done, rims are 20x10 Fronts and 20x14 in the back, fully tubed, bare metal no paint, custom aftermarket frame, custom suspension and brakes which are 16" rotors with 6 piston fronts and 14" rotors with 4 Pistons in the back. My private appraiser said when it's done it'll be at the 500K range! Also keep in mind that I took part the brand new BBC 632 crate motor and am completely going through it and I am also going to Twin Turbo the motor as well. As you can read I'm a big Motörhead! I started racing as a teen and never looked back, well maybe only to look at my losing rival/competitor!🤔😅✌🏼️

300k is so easy to do in these cars. The amount of labor that it takes to do this is insane. My Sledgehammer camaro was 250k build and I sold it for just over 100k. So the .50 cents on the dollar is accurate depending on the economy and buyer. Also a 300k car could be even higher as the builder cannot or does not charge for every single hour charged because it would be well over 300k. I know for a fact that my car would have been over 325k if he charged for every hr worked on. Builders sometimes will forgive many hours because it becomes so much that they can't do it. The clients are typically aware of this. This car was more than likely a 400k car when all was said and done. Beautiful build.

I’m so stoked I found this channel... gonna watch the ‘66 chevelle next...

Best $300K you could ever spend

Found you thanks to Sam the Man STG.... so glad I subbed.... awesome channel..... respect from across the Pond

Incredible execution of performance and style 👏

Sweet Camaro love it i have my stock 69 Z28 best car ever !

I was very tempted to buy this car from Mike, just found this video wish I saw this video sooner. Great content man this is my kinda content. AF

Please get more videos together, your one of the best I have seen very watchable and very interesting. A car channel should have the attention to detail as yours does!!! 👍 I'm envious as I'm in rainy Northern Ireland 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 👍 💪

One of a kind. Worth every penny for people who can afford it.

Worth every penny !

Great episode, love it!

A piece of art ... love to own one lucky man

The guys that don't get it are rocking BOSS 338 wheels and cut springs. There are levels to this game.....This car is has an insane amount of tech/man hours into it. I have a nice 69 Camaro but am fully aware this car is light years above mine.

Absolutely BA. Worth every penny.

geeeeeeez!!! this is a awesome channel, i'm so glad i randomly came across this channel, one episode and i instantly subscribed

You dont need to explain to me about the high cost bro, Its worth every cent, Awsome car, looks like alot of work, I couldnt do it, it takes at least a year with a crew of experts. Great work,;

Wicked car and that white chevelle is something else and 300 grand is just about right

The sound of that car is worth the 300k alone!! Thank you for sharing 💪 ✌️ 🍻

The best part of the video was seeing how you treated someone's car with real respect. Most reviewers have no problems with setting or leaning on a nice car. Low life reviewers will take a supercar out and flog it without a care in the world.

Such a beautiful car! Fabulous

Just discovered this channel through a car review of vicious! Lovin the channel so much, it should be called the bad ass car channel 😂

Ls series motors make unpredictable insane power when built up and boosted. Unbelievably reliable. Gotta say, the body on that thing is glass. Bet it was nice to drive!

I love it 😍😍😍 god bless that project

Nice cars Mike we need guy's like you both cars

that camaro is pretty sick. love it

I like this Maro out of all the Maro's you've covered! It was close though! To the LSX 427

I really like your videos!! This is the 3rd video I've watched from your channel, so I decided to subscribe. Also what camera do you use? You vidz are Ultra HD quality!

omg I like this better than the Mercedes gold one! Dang! I'm in Love with 69 Camaros!

Great looking car!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello wouldn't know what your on about here in the UK but interesting to know and learn plus watch. Also love your videos of all the cars that you cover from around the world but your brother's 991 GT3 RS by BBI is very good.

I can understand that most people have a hard time understanding how expensive it can be. Quality parts are expensive. Most people will never build a car or be able to afford a car of this level, but what's up with the stick holding the hood open? Great video as always.

Love this car thanks for sharing

Finally some1 makes a video with car tht has decent music in the background..not tht bs techno crap

this might be my fave 69 I've seen in here, its just purpose built, not frilly, just right

Cheapest part is that hood stand.. beautiful Camaro for sure!!

9:30 when a random new Camaro passes you from the opposite direction.

damn that 69' camaro is badass 💪💪👍👍😍😍

Worth every fonkin’ penny.

Love this car!

Smooth intro brother! Subscribed!

woweeee! And, he let you take it on the road. You one lucky friend. Woweeeeeeee!!

The best so far .nice job great narration super beautiful car Sounds like a million bucks. I have a 66 Impala Super Sport than working on for 10 years looks picture. Perfect. 383 stroker but I probably have 30 grand into mine. And everything brand new out of the box, but nothing to compare to this. I'm roughly 4:25 to 450 horsepower. Keep dreaming.

Thanks for sharing. A beautiful/badass Camaro for sure! But let your buddy Mike know his center light on left taillight is out while braking. I'm OCD

SWEET FLIP!!! On Average White Bsnd's "Love of Your Own"!!! Nicely SAMPLED/REARRANGED!!!

Sean, congrats on the channel, you are killing it. These are the cars that we, as motor head children, dreamed of seeing. Big power with a six speed is the ground work for awesome.

Who cares what people say about costs this 69' is the the most beautiful one I've ever seen

A Truly incredible Machine. Well Done to the Owner, and the Shop

Love the video new subscriber keep up the great work I got a 69 Chevelle looking to restore but can't get nowhere with it due to the cost just a struggling landscaper but my question is with the build depend on what area of the continental US you live in so you live in California things seem to be higher there versus here in Florida would be great to hear of the cost of some builds in other parts of the country again new subscriber you may have already had a few builds in other parts of the area just haven't got to them yet great job great videos keep it up bro

Thanks Mike.for real

Cool custom car.

Thanks Mike

I am loving your videos, I live a few blocks from the owner of this Camaro. I'd love to see it in person and the other car. I'm sick of all the italian sports cars, love these resto mods.

$300k and the middle left brake light doesn't work (6:49).

After building my twin turbo nova over 3 years I can absolutely see how paying a builder for a car like this can easily cost $300k. You can drop $10k at a time on just parts and it feels like you got barely anywhere on completing the build. If I had to pay labor my car would have cost a lot more than the 80 grand I spent on it over the last few years. I have a video on my channel and that was an 80k “budget build”. My friend and I did literally everything ourselves in his snow plow shop. Paying car shops for custom cars ain’t cheap!

6pot 15 inch Carbon Ceramic Brembos in the front and rear? The brake balance must be terrible, not to mention dangerous. Guess just another easy way for the builder to charge the customer 7k extra. Ethically that is messed up period, compromising the customers safety for an extra buck

While high dollar pro builds are impressive, home built "raw" cars are so much more interesting to me. I love all your videos, you have such great taste in which cars to feature. Keep up the good work!

Yeah 700 hp in an old car is insane

One of the best looking 69's I've seen. What road is that? I know its in LA. Just curious, looks like fun

One of my dreams it to drive a late model Porsche or other sports car in the canyons in Malibu or around certain areas in California.

Awesome!! Is that a C5 Z06 in that garage too? Love to see an episode on that car too!!

Great vid! What canyon road was that, it looks familiar?

Mike is a smart man

Thanks Man for sharing yuor beauty puppy! 💪💪💪💪💪💪

Absolutely gorgeous

Bad ass car!

Wow us$300k?? Sure can get up there, especially if others are commissioning the entire build. Helps when owners can get down n dirty & get involved in the build themselves eg: sourcing parts, some fab mods, final assembly etc..... Time n Labour ain't cheap. Cool camaro though 👌

My other favorite thanks bro

The problem with a lot of these builds is not understanding putting the $300k into it but how the builder used that money. What most cant understand is every single bolt has to be bought and it adds up quickly. On the other end at that price point builders have to build and not just bolt on parts and charge for it. Not everyone wants a Lambo and these are built to order and thats where the cost is.

People would be surprised how much metal work, fabrication and man hours actually cost in a build …. People who legitimately understand this … know the amount of labor goes into a full build …. But thanks for breaking it down !

I really appreciate that these folks are willing to share the info price wise , please thank them from an equal fan of American Performance, Heck look at Singer Porsches / 600k to 1.8 M : why can't we build American super cars as well (?!)

So nice

This car is almost as nice as the "piranha Camaro" I saw on youtube... either way ... just a dream for me

Firstly Im no Fan of Jason from Timeless however that being said I have to say that everyone crying over the price of this Camaro are way of base as I can say that 300k is actually very reasonable "YES" reasonable!! If you just take one person working on a car of this level for 40 hrs a week for 52 weeks (Thats A year) thats just over two thousand hours (Which I dare say their are more hours in the build) and multiply that by say a very reasonable shop rate of say $85 you get $176,800 just in labor for one individual. Then you add in the combined dollar amount of the parts of an easy $120,000 its very easy for a build to get to 250-300k fast and in todays "REAL" world of car building that happens very very easily. I can honestly say that being a builder of some cars over the years myself and understanding the process, time and effort it takes that Timeless most probably just broke even on this car build, and would have made a few dollars but not as much as people think..............Running a large shop in California costs $$$$$ and the over head can be a killer for many business's and builders. If you cant afford to play don't hate the players hate the game Lol.......

killer build

that is a beatiful car

Beautiful car

U have to win lottery for those csrs 😂😂😂😂RICH PPL PROBLEMS dom needs to drive this asap

Here's your quick (kinda) explanation: The people who either build, or have these classics built, are doing it outta love. The owners typically aren't trying to make a buck, they're building what they want, and some builders are building what they love for shows and such to draw attention to their skills to bring in more customers. If I had the money, of course I'd source a 70 Z28 Camaro, a 62 409 Bel Air Bubble, and a 71 C10 CST "396bbc" truck, all with built engines, full chassis', sitting right, with all the right touches.... and even if I had the money, unless someone with the same money really, really liked my personal build and touches done(they would, nobody plans out like I do, just don't have the money lol), I'd lose tons of money, but, I wouldn't be putting all that cash and work in just to turn around and sell. Point being, people who can afford this stuff or have done the work themselves, build them because they love them, and the investment usually is the last thing on their mind.... until it's done lol.

I build my own twin turbo in my Corvette 1995 I do the all work myself. I have still that car in my garage and more cars Challenger70 Camaro68.Chrysler 57a.Love cars..

I would be the shit in Chicago with that car. Fuckn beautiful.

great show Shawn, really nice car! I think it’s just that if you don’t ‘wrench’ or are somehow involved with cars, a person has no idea of the cost. I’m just glad the industry is finally demanding value for talented work and product.
