Raw Old School '68 Chevelle Doing Burnouts 

.12 seconds Leaving high school sideways each day in the late 70’s 🤘

I love the 68 chevelle tha most of all,because those skiny tail lights. My sisters husband had this year, and at 11 years old riding in that thing was so cool. He had it jacked up with big wide tires on tha back, thin up front.....on chrome craiger rims. I remember being in the back seat singing songs played on the radio, and his EQ jumpn...red yellow green lights. 6x9s rockn in tha back,5n quarters in tha.doors. those days were tha best ever. Love your videos. Thanks

Stanced perfectly. 15 inch GM steelies. Amazing.

Less is more. THIS is how I like my musclecars. Another great video.

I always said, "if it looked good from the factory, why change it?"

I like this more then the 500k builds... you aren’t scared to drive it and do burn outs in it...

Sometimes less is more. I love the simplicity of this car. No fancy chrome wheels or over the top interior. Just plane Jane muscle.

I keep coming back to this video. I LOVE how he built this Chevelle. Perfect!

Great episode. Your enjoyment of this car was tangible. Genuine & sincere. Nice job.

man - that car is freakin boss. the stance is perfect - the ride is simple and clean. its damn near perfect.

When I was 18 I bought a Chevelle SS 396 375 horse in Phantom Blue so this video really takes me back in time. I will never forget the sensation and sound from dual glass paks when I kicked in the 4 bbl. It was a great period of time.

I had a 1968 chevelle when i was 15 yr old! And I'm still in love with chevelles

That is how I would prefer to own a car no modern upgrades keep it classic.

What a nice build. Prefer this over those over the top builds. Thank you Shawn for showing us this beauty

Definitely reminds me of the street races in the 70's... Love the plain jane look as well...

That Chevelle is absolutely beautiful and the straight-up steel rally wheels look badass! Love it!

ignore the internet haters...they dont understand how expensive a real car build is cause they are just honda kids that think all cars start at $5000

I love it! This is a bad ass 68! Beautiful and strong all the way around loward to perfection! Easily worth the $$$ thanks for the view!

That's sick luv it.Just hearing the engine growling give me goosebumps

I'm watching this in 2020 for the first time. My first car was a 68' SS 396 4 speed with 456 gear. That beast would pick the front wheels off the ground. It's now 43 years later and seeing this .. I want one again, well at least for a long weekend ! Woo!! NICE!!!

Awesome car !!!! Late 60s chevelle have been my fav car , this one is really done right. Has it where it counts , Motor, the stance , the rally wheels . So simple , but that’s what makes it so unbelievable . Please show us more of these builds , and keep up the great work man !!! 👍

Thank you for that drive! Sounds like power from the get go!! The shifting of gears even sounded muscly when you hit 2nd gear, that chirp is music to my ears!! I had ‘71 Chevelle automatic transmission that would chirp 2nd gear, sometimes a light chirp for 3rd gear if I was on it hard and nasty!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane!! I want another one so bad! But due to my money, being on disability and all, might not happen unless “Santa” is feeling like he wants to help me out!? LOL!! This would be my “make a wish” dream come true!! 🙏🏻 ✌️🎅

Excellent video & recording angles, thank you! Hearing the whine coming out of the 4-speed as your going down the road reminds me of the ‘55 Chevy in “Two Lane Blacktop”, that noise was very obvious in that car as well. Gotta love the old school combination of a 4-speed behind a carbureted Rat Motor! Good Day Everyone!

Love that trans whine , it sounds so raw . . miss my 68 Chevelle's , this really takes me back .

Those transmissions are a blast to drive!

What a beast, I love this car, she's prefect and how good does it look. Great build 👍🏻

Yea, I'm 59 and been hot rodding since the late 70s, this is how I roll. There is something about a naturally asperiated engine. I'm running a 1975 firebird with a 1973 front clip and ram air hood, 1972 455HO, M-21 4 speed. Very nice ride, thanks for posting, she sounds sweet. 👍👍🏁🏁

Definitely one of my dream cars! Awesome .thanks. Love the show!

if u freeze around 8:32 you can see the tire sizing, 275's in the rear and 235's in the front

Love the steel wheels.

Perfection. Absolutely love this car.

Enjoyed going back and watching this. Clean and simple. I dig it.

That’s one badass ride!

Hey man. You're a great guy. One of the main reasons I subbed.

One of the finest cars you have shown!!! Thanks for sharing!

Love the stance and tire combination. Perfect!

Soo cool thanks for sharing with us Dennis & Shawn. One awsome muscle car ! Love the engine.

Another great video bro! Keep em coming!

It doesn't get any better than this. I find the what ifs using mainly factory parts produce some great looking cars.

Love these beautiful chevys . Thanks for bringing them to us , Autotopia .

Now that the smoking tire is done, this might be my new favorite channel. Good stuff man keep it up!

Beautiful car just the way it is.

That's about as close to perfection as you can get for that car. Nothin outrageous. The power is there but not too extreme. Great sound nice & mild yet you can hear it. This guy knew what he was doin with this car.

love this car. thanks for showing us the car , defiantly worth 12:37 of my day

A 68 300 Chevelle with a factory big block and 4 wheel disk brakes..... ooooookay.

Nice Chevelle bro ☝

Beautiful Chevelle.. these classic's are very nice.. and great to see them!

I had a 67 and 69 Chevelle, boy i wish i still had them. i am 60 years old and still have pictures of the parked in front of my house where i grew up in Philly.

I love the Chevelles and this is a cool ride. I totally get the build cost vs the value.. I think any car that you put in $100k isn't really about the money (for resale purposes), it's about the value of the car to the owner. Keep going my man!

That car is badass. The transmission is the same as tractor trailer transmission’s. You synchronize the shift points with engine rpm.

Truth.......Love old school builds....!👍

Love this style!! Perfect.

Very cool!

I think 68 was best year for chevelle

Give me the 66 through 1970 Chevelle was one of my favorite cars. It had a full frame and everything bolts to it. There were lots of them around and a plethora of parts for cheap. You could just wait till your buddy stacked his and go buy what you needed off him. You know help a brother out. Big block small block 4-speed sway bars posi steel rims. Dollar per horsepower a better buy than anything else around. Heavy enough that you felt safe at a hundred and ten miles an hour. Strong enough that you could abuse the living shit out of it. My favorite was a gold 66 I had. It always had different engines and transmissions in it. It was like the Chevelle kit. You could put it together all sorts of different ways. Sliding left, sliding right, donut clockwise, counterclockwise figure 8, what a great greasy sled, Smokey toasty, banging gears and fucking with with the radio, just burning tire until you let up. No 12s without cheater slicks or wrinkle walls, Low 13's and that big block come on. The big block lunge. It's like when the weight catches up with the inertia and the RPMs Dancing from 3rd gear into 4th. Hours of enjoyment. Some sloppy loose big block you got from a wrecking yard, with an intake Cam and headers, ready to be beaten to within an inch of its miserable life. Routinely, some big block that came out of somebody's flat bottom boat. Frankenstein Big Blocks. Big Blocks out of Caprices or old Impalas, loose 396 with a 427 cam. Why won't this thing blow? This thing should blow. Maybe you're not beating it right? Quick to the cow fields. Smoking weed, drinking beer, listen to The Rolling Stones, Cross up competition, drifting, drifting, drifting look out for the cow, drifting

I had the 1968 SS396 Chevelle 4speed exactly like that one in high school, wish i never sold it. Now i looking for another one to build! Very cool car

Damn good looking car and sounds amazing, nice video bro

Old School I see you

I get to take my Grandad's LS5 Stingray one day a week in summer. I just brought it back into the hangar and I GOT THE FEVER! Tell Dennis I like his style.

Very nice car and THANK YOU for doing real burnouts and not brake stands like everyone else on RU-vid (which any car can do).

F’ing yes!

I remember when he first got the car!

I’m liking this style of build more and more

The noise!

a beautiful car, i can see where a lot of the $100k went - was spent removing the '68 specific side trim and filling the holes.... could have spent less starting with a '69. that's what i thought it was until i saw the vent windows, don't need A/C with vents. still it's a beautiful car

I love this car! My 68 Chevy II nova 2 door the original color of it is fathom blue also. I'd love a 68 or 69 chevelle to build next after my 56 chevy

This is how I like them, clean and close to stock in appearance with a nice stance and tire combo.

I'm in love with this one!!

I'd love to see some vintage race cars, drag cars, etc. Anything with race history really interests me.

Absolutely love that car yes I’m old-school to. Love color best color for 68 Chevelle

I really love ur videos and I can really tell u love making them . Lol well who wouldn't . Dream job . Keep up the great work brother

Friend built 69 chevelle. He is about 32 deep in it. Its 454 4spd. Ground up and some good friends helping. Ok. You got 1 more sub. Great vids.

That my favorite car old school with I'm so 69 Chevy

Love the color and the original interior

It just reminds me of highschool. These cars were everywhere! Then all of a sudden they dissapeared.

What is the rear tire size. I love Camaros and Chevelles. ✔ .

My next project has to be a chevelle or 70 nova

I like these wheels and tires on this car so much better than more expensive bigger wheels!

Absolutely magnificent chevelle.wouldn't change a single thing.clean,American muscle.👍👍

Great looking car. If all the labor is sourced to do the build it would probably be 100k easily. If one does the build himself he could save substantial amounts of money. Labor is very expensive.

Mr. Shawn, any chances to get your hands on 67 4 door impala with 427 or 454 engine. yes, you know why.

Came back to watch this again, just an awesome car.

Very nice Chevelle, Great look... 'original steel rims'

Nice car Could you tell me the tire sizes? This wheels look great on it

What’s the wheel and tire set up? I want them for mine.

Thank you for all the cool videos. you show a lot of nice cars. love your channel

I love the Chevelle it's awesome easy to work on dependable and you can daily drive and it's awesome love the valve covers and have a great day Merry Christmas thanks for the video that keeps me inspired Merry Christmas

anybody thats ever had a car built knows the budget can get as high as the owners money can go, i wouldve guessed more than 100k for that build depending on what they started with

Notice how it never hit a wall or another car or even some spectators during the burnouts? It's not a mustang...

Two words.... Real Car!! I love the whine of the transmission and a lot more than just crazy loud exhaust.... Just something different! I've seen a lot of interior is redone but I'd have to say stock usually looks a lot better look how clean that is!! Just looks amazing... Nice time machine!

Perfectly executed. I've had a similar build in mind except with a '69 Coronet. Very understated, clean and all business. Cheers

9k already Shawn

Heard to believe even a simple build like this still cost 100k very discouraging

I like this build! Reminds me of high-school auto class.

that Chevelle is Beautiful... I Love it. Sounds killer.

Wow factory manual four wheel disc. Unheard of

Fathom blue, not Phantom blue

Awesome, very simple car badass Chevelle. great job Dennis

Super clean and packs a punch! Love that transmission!!

Badass and pure. Love it👍🏼
