We met Ricardo at SEMA 2019 and knew right away that we had to shoot his Chevelle. His styling choices are very cool and its a very tasteful build overall. We love the color choices and the interior is simply beautiful.
And with an LS swap you know it makes good reliable power so sit back and enjoy the ride...

Flawless finish. Love the way it's rocking at 8:30 sitting at the red light. Both guys just rocking in their chairs like it's normal. Wait until they tune that beast. Beautiful craftsmanship. Perfect stance. You guys should all be proud of that one.

@markdrewett149 4 года назад

Very refreshing for someone to be honest about their HP.

@AutotopiaLA 4 года назад

With no apologies too. He wants it to be a reliable driver and doesn’t need 1000 hp. Can’t wait to go for a drive when it’s all dialed in

@newschool72 4 года назад

Yea, i agree with both comments , with an aside that half the fun of having alot of hp/tq is having more power than a 10" street tire can handle, lol

Damn that’s a bad ass Chevelle I always Like the back tail lights on this year rather than the 70 just my opinion great video Shawn

@Packer1290 4 года назад

If you ever watch the movie "Faster", the Chevelle in there has a '70 front and a '71-'72 rear. Its like they made the Chevelle that should have been.

@corevaluesinvestmentgroup8940 3 года назад

Yeah, if I buy a 70, it’s getting 71 rear bumper

@jm-hb9tl 4 года назад

8:20 It's like you 2 are bopping to some imaginary music at the stop light😂. Once tuned it will be spot on. Love the color combos. I always loved the Chevelles. I had a 72 a long time ago and regretted that I didn't have it too long to enjoy much.

@AutotopiaLA 4 года назад

It needs some minor tweaking (tune, brakes) but it’s a great build. Killer color combos!

@vincentcook5089 4 года назад

I've always had a soft spot for orange muscle cars. Guess it goes back to Bo and Luke Duke. Pretty sure they never wore seat belts either. That interior was clean, stitching was exceptional. Thanks Shawn for another dream build!

I'm totally envious of that Patron!! I just bought a bottle of the "everyday" Patron last night for me and a friend to enjoy tonight. But the stuff y'all were drinking must be soooo smooth. GREAT CAR tho!! Perfect color the interior looks amazing. And I can only imagine what it'll be like when everything is all dialed in. Thanks for sharing this one Shawn. Gonna go check out the merch now. Need at least one of those t-shirts.

@AutotopiaLA 4 года назад

@TheGunfighter45acp 4 года назад

What an outstanding build & the time frame het got it done in is outstanding, too! I hope Ricardo has you back for a proper shakedown when the tune, belts, and brakes are all dialed in to his liking. I hope a little of his fine tequila is left over for that run, too.

I am French, 44 years old and a fan of old American cars since I was a kid, the lines, the melody of the V8, I love them all but I have a weakness for the already beautiful original Chevelle, in restomod it is a jewel. Thank you in any case for all these videos that treats us. Cordially. Of France.
