This particular model and year was always my favorite, as far as looks go. I appreciate Tim improving on the original design without going too crazy. I never knew these models had bad steering and bad brakes, and unibody issues. It was always out of my price range, but If I had money to burn, this would the car I'd pick. I wonder how much Tim has invested in this, in my head, the ultimate muscle car. $300,000?

Jay Leno, Tim Allen, and Adam Carolla should have done the American Top Gear.

@noble mc Custom American cars are used to be one of a major car culture in Japan around 90’s - 00’s but after the gas price went through the roof, it declined. When I had 91’ Firebird GTA around 01’ - 03’, we could still see lots of F bodies, Corvettes, Astros, Caprice sdn/wgn etc were around. But now you can hardly find these kinds in the streets. However, there are some enthusiasts who love American muscle cars of 60’s & 70’s exist. Btw, we don’t even see many JDM sports cars either and it seems that young generations like iPhones over cars.

@Jar of Smegma I think he's referring to "character" in the sense of the vehicle's design and aesthetic details. Too many restomods have digital dashes, wheels and interior parts from modern cars. This one looks like a regular '68 from the outside, and the interior also looks like factory spec (except for the large gauges - but they still look appropriate) - this car is very tastefully done!

Projecting. No one knows exactly what he was actually feeling and thinking at that moment besides Tim, even if you imagine you've made an identical face in an identical situation. That still doesn't mean what was going on in his head was identical to what was going on in your head. That's called projecting. You could be totally right, or you could be wrong. I don't know. What I do know is that you're projecting and acting like there's no other answer besides how *you* felt in that moment. That's not a good mindset to have. The intellectually honest answer is "I don't know, but this is what I *think is likely.*"

See I found out that my youngest son had cerebral palsy and my life changed. I need something more dependable to get him the help he would need. I always thought someday I'd be able to build another one like it. Now I'm in my early 50s and not in best health but watching your videos always brings a smile to my face!

OMG.!!!!! Be-a-utiful.!!!!!!! In 1967 and 1968, Yenko was dropping 427 cubic-inch monsters from Corvettes into Camaro bodies and creating some of the most powerful Camaros of the era. One of Yenko’s crowning achievements came in 1969 when Yenko was tired of selling Camaros with limited warranties because of his modifications and convinced Chevy to add a 427-equipped Camaro to its special equipment ordering system, known as COPO (central office production order). This addition of the 427-equipped Camaro to COPO made it possible for Yenko to sell these cars with the GM-standard 5-year or 50,000-mile warranty. Yenko ordered a grand total of 198 of the Camaro 427s available from COPO. The total number of COPO Camaros produced and sold is unknown, but has been rumored as anywhere from 500 to 1,000. With exception of the 427 jammed into the engine compartment, the Camaro 427s came from COPO with almost nothing identifying them as a special model; they even came with the old dog dish hubcaps on steel wheels. Yenko made sure to order his from COPO with 15-inch rally wheels, a front stabilizer bar, and a 140 mph speedometer. The rest of the customization was all Yenko’s doing.

One of my favorite episodes! Thanks Jay...and Tim.

Tim always brings the best stuff, love that car!!!

12:13 Tim's facial expression looks like he's in a scene from a movie.

one of the best cars - so simple, so beautiful, the green is perfekt an the number 427 is a great number

Pretty sure I just found my dream Camaro 🤩 Hands down the most beautiful Camaro I've ever seen. What an absolute gem of a vehicle. Glad it belongs to a car guy 😎

I always love the look on Tim Allen's face during the burn out. He looks like he is saying, "Holy s#!+, this is powerful!!"

Born in '56 I am a late '60s - early 70s car guy! THANK YOU!

Tastefully done. Those wheels are perfect for that color and style of car. Man Tim has the same exact taste as I do. Wish I could meet these guys in person.

Looks like it could be Verdoro Green, a Pontiac color, referring '68 GTO color, but it could be a custom color, also so who knows.

Car guys...we know what we like!

Not only two ‘car guys’, but as we’ve discovered after Jay’s burn accident, pretty close friends too! Love this version of a truly BEAUTIFUL MUSCLE CAR… GET WELL SOON, JAY !

Two genuine car guys, with ALL the toys, beautiful

Tim Allen is a cool guy. And that is one great car.

Jay and Tim should replace Adam Ferrara and Rutledge Wood on Top Gear US! Then it might actually be worth watching.

Jay Leno, Tim Allen, Jerry Seinfeld.

I’ve always loved tim allens cars since the home improvement days when i was a kid. I’ll never forget the episode when he crushes the 55 Nomad Wagon with the crane.

Tim and the shop that put the wrench time in really knocked that build out of the park.

"Hold on, I'll be right back." Priceless. Both Jay and Tim are in their 60s, and viewers in this bracket will get the joke. (I'd write more here, but, uh, I gotta go.)

12:11 That's a face that says, "Holy Shit! I might lose control." 12:14 That's a face that says, "Yep, lost control."

He did a couple of long burnouts and obviously didn't lose control. It was a brand new car and he was just trying it out himself for the first time, on camera--try that sometime.

I lived in sunland, Ca for 10 years and races my Ducati up Wheatland and La Tuna canyon roads for years. I moved out of state and it's such a nice drive. I saw Jay one time in Burbank. Such an amazing approachable person

I remember riding in a '68 Camaro. Thanks for the memories.

Haha Tim was mortified by the power! Love it, great episode.
