Shawn, I know I have said it many times, but I absolutely LOVE your reactions to cars! You are the perfect guy to check out peoples cars! You are truly a cool guy! This Nova is beyond awesome. Like you said, stellar! Keep up the great work dude. I can't wait for your new videos!
If my financial reality matched my dreams… this IS the man I’d want to build my car. Take note up and comers. This is how it’s done. Absolute excellence in execution.
Well…. Pretty much all comments below say what I think also. This channel has had AMAZING builds and INSANE vehicles… but this is the first time I have watched and thought… I WOULD LOVE TO OWN THAT ONE It’s just all correct and finished so perfectly. Big Respect to everyone involved. Genius work
I've seen a lot of beautiful interiors over the years but this is by far the most beautiful interior on this planet. The body lines he enhanced did the trick. Bitchin !!!!
i cant say enough about the show. i spent over 30years inO.Cbuilding orn helping built dozens of c 10s and suburban suff wagonsfirst gen camaros. i never got rich but i helped anybody do anything. then i had 3strokes one week. i came to tacoma to my buddy's house to get well and im not. i miss my life but when I tune into autotopia I feel like im there having a beer with the fellas. thanks? keep it up.
I'd drive it every day! beautiful car! They say "money doesn't buy happiness" i bet the owner of this car is happy and smiling every time he drives it, i would
You're right man, that interior is killer!! 66/67 Nova's are one of my all time favourite vehicles, although here in Australia they aren't easily available.
Don’t waste your time on the haters. You do a great job letting the experts talk and being articulate. That is one sharp car with every detail knocked out of the park.
You've showcased some incredible vehicles, and me being a Chevy guy born and raised in West Los Angeles, I've seen in person some incredible builds, but this Nova is one of, if not the most perfect builds I've ever seen.
Clean is an over used description of a car at shows. This car is the definition of a Clean build. The body work is simple precision. As far as adding or subtracting power, that’s the easy part.
Man that brings back some memories. My first car was a white '67 Nova. Unfortunately, it had two too many doors. Still had a great time in it and loved it.
I have an "07 Trailblazer in white with the upgraded LH6/350 HP all aluminum engine from the factory, LT, leather interior, custom sound system, custom 3' exhaust, factory aluminum 18" wheels with a couple of deletes like the luggage rack and the rear bowtie. I constantly get asked if it's an SS, but everyone is always impressed with the way it sounds. If I could do to it what these guys have done here with this amazing Nova, it would be incredible. But just having 350 HP in this SUV is super fun. People that feel like you have to have outrageous power either have too much money or they don't really want to daily drive it. 450 HP at the wheels of this gem is prolly enough to please any gear head on the daily. Great car and sweet review, Dude...
Out of all the car videos you’ve posted this car topped them all for me. Super super clean build the under carriage, engine bay and interior are so fucking immaculate.
I got my Journeyman's in Upholster decades ago, have done diamond pleats, tufts, etc, but these guys are on a whole other level. The metal fabrication and sharpening of lines is ridiculously meticulous!
its pretty smart to use a body like that as a base with a lot of fresh metal to work with vs trying to do that DIY with body/bondo on a car etc. This level of work is definitely worth it for the $ any day. Just so much more clean metal than filler On top of meticulous body work/gap care. Even the undercarriage shot was too clean. A proper presentation of "factory modern" for sure one of my favorites as a Chevy II/Nova fan
Brings back memories of my high school car 66 chevyll nova SS,mine was maroon with black interior 327w/375 hp .power glide trans in 1980,I put several transmission in it,fun car.
That's how I would do it other than the color choice . Sea foam blue is one of the stock colors in that year and that would make it perfect . Well Done
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL car, and that interior is gorgeous! I freakin' love it!!! Shawn, I totally agree with you when it comes to horsepower. I often say, "What's the point in building a car with so much power if you're not racing it?" For the very few that actually do race their cars that have a bunch of power, their #1 excuse when they lose is, "I can't get it to hook." 🤣 🤣 🤣
When I was a kid my friends and I used to call that model Nova a "Box" Nova. We used to call them out when we saw them on the street. It was like spotting a unicorn for us.
Ok ,brother, I have a few things on my mind. #1 I have not mentioned how great your team does on these videos. The time that is invested into these 25 ish minute videos is truly amazing and very well done they have a raw feeling but done very well, so a tip of the hat and a solid recognition of a dang good job done team. #2 I truly appreciate how this car has been done, and in my opinion, the time it took to make this car so clean yet so functional is inspiring. So many parts of this car are how I see our 62 impala build. There is so much to unpack here, but to keep it readable and not a book, I will leave it at that. Have a glorious day team, keep up the awesome content, and God bless. And a solid air high five.
I think the key subjects are attention to detail and practically. I love when professionals tell people how absurd it is to have excessive HP on daily drivers. Anything over 600 just isn't reasonable for daily. Enjoying the ride is more important than being able to show off. I'll take a build like this any day of the week
This Nova is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I also agree, any more hp in a car like this is simply overkill and useless. Hot damn, this is one of my favorites that you've shot. As a machinist who's worked in big oil for 20+ years the tubing and sheet metal work on this is so clean. Perfect! 🤍
Love these novas super lite and I can guarantee you that 450hp feels like 700 all day long! Damn this is a beautiful clean build and because I have ocd I absolutely love what they did under the hood,bumpers and undercarriage 🤌🏼....DAMN I FREAKIN LOVE THIS NOVA!🔥
Ok, I've watched most of your videos. And I've seen some incredible builds. This one though? Took them all and ate them for breakfast. Seriously - took my favorite Chevy. Then the builder went full bonkers. Ferrari couldn't have done a better job with that interior. Those body lines are so crisp and clean. My only gripe because I'm old school is I don't like skinny wheels on an old Hotrod like that. I want to see some meat. 500hp is plenty of fun under the hood. Such a nice build. I'd love to have the same car - just in black :)

100%. His reactions make the videos. Love this guy.
If my financial reality matched my dreams… this IS the man I’d want to build my car. Take note up and comers. This is how it’s done. Absolute excellence in execution.
That's a BEAUTIFUL Chevy Nova . ❤❤
One of my favorite cars ever on the channel. Fukkkk that thing is clean. I want it!
Well…. Pretty much all comments below say what I think also. This channel has had AMAZING builds and INSANE vehicles… but this is the first time I have watched and thought… I WOULD LOVE TO OWN THAT ONE
It’s just all correct and finished so perfectly. Big Respect to everyone involved. Genius work
Clean yet Mean! Perfect combination! I love a white or black color car outside with a red interior…perfect!
Jeez what a Beautiful Ride!..I'd name that car "Snow White"
I like that.....Snow white!
OR CASPER
I've seen a lot of beautiful interiors over the years but this is by far the most beautiful interior on this planet. The body lines he enhanced did the trick. Bitchin !!!!
Beautiful Nova
In my opinion, 66 Nova the best looking Chevy ever made.
I gotta say 67.. because I have one in the garage.. lol..
I really love this car, it's so clean and just comes off as pure.
i cant say enough about the show. i spent over 30years inO.Cbuilding orn helping built dozens of c 10s and suburban suff wagonsfirst gen camaros. i never got rich but i helped anybody do anything. then i had 3strokes one week. i came to tacoma to my buddy's house to get well and im not. i miss my life but when I tune into autotopia I feel like im there having a beer with the fellas.
thanks? keep it up.
Glad we bring some good into your life brother
Keep doing ur thing Shawn am not much a gear head but I just love all the cars he shows love all old school cars keep up the awesome work
Thank you! Lots more to come I promise
I like how they made valve covers that look like BBC covers and also hid the coils, etc. That did a good job of polishing up the ugly of LS engines!
I'd drive it every day! beautiful car! They say "money doesn't buy happiness" i bet the owner of this car is happy and smiling every time he drives it, i would
Your enthusiasm is infectious mate, one of my favourite UA-cam channels with top quality vehicles
Thank you! I get excited when cars are done right like this one. That interior knocked me out!!
You're right man, that interior is killer!!
66/67 Nova's are one of my all time favourite vehicles, although here in Australia they aren't easily available.
Don’t waste your time on the haters. You do a great job letting the experts talk and being articulate. That is one sharp car with every detail knocked out of the park.
I can usually nitpick about something on a car I dont like, but this car is badass.
Love the show please ignore the haters! Each episode the interviews are great and the questions are awesome!
I'm not a gearhead. Always loved manual brakes. He explained it perfectly! That plumbing is 👌😘
I think one of the best looking body lines of novas
Beautiful Nova. Love it. You know I have a soft spot for white Novas! Oh, and Bro... It's Currie. lol!
Gotta love it bro!
Outstanding little Nova, BUT that interior takes it to another level! WOW!!!
You've showcased some incredible vehicles, and me being a Chevy guy born and raised in West Los Angeles, I've seen in person some incredible builds, but this Nova is one of, if not the most perfect builds I've ever seen.
This build is perfection in and out. Nicest Nova I’ve ever seen
Dope dope dope! Clean as hell. Perfect balance.
Watching this one Shawn, is like going down a rabbit hole of OCD care of custom details to the N'th degree man...wow! 🤯
This nova is super clean and super neat. It has been tastefully done.
My personal favorite car in my 60 yrs of my life, A OK 4 me 😊 WOW...
Clean is an over used description of a car at shows. This car is the definition of a Clean build. The body work is simple precision. As far as adding or subtracting power, that’s the easy part.
Stunning
Man that brings back some memories. My first car was a white '67 Nova. Unfortunately, it had two too many doors. Still had a great time in it and loved it.
The car is cleeeeeeeean. Love it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
It's very difficult to make white cars pop but this builder hit every element of the car out of the park. A first class build.
Beautiful Nova deck out to the tens plus tens 66 Nova, a stunning thing! Congratulations! A true Hot Wheels car in real life miles of FUN!🤩 !!!
I cannot stop thinking of this Nova. It’s gorgeously put together
The interior... yeah buddy. Gave me the warm n fuzzies. That's so proper. Like.. this car would steal an entire streets attention in Monaco...
Another beaut that is spot on .well done that man .keep well guys .
Very nice car with a lot of great details that's not over-done. The hardest part of creating a big budget car is not over-doing it.
Can’t go wrong with a two door deuce whether it be a post or no post there awesome!!!!
Shawn this car looks fine waiting to hear her
Lakeside Speed & Shine you F nailed it, Respect for all your hard work. 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing work and that Camaro we just put up of theirs is even better…great builders
A beautiful car that's beautifully built.
What a beautiful car. I’m so not a red anything guy especially interior, but on that car it just plain works
That has got to be the best nova to date. So clean and looks very well built. Stance… can’t get any better ! Too rad

Clean and simple goes a long way. Beautiful Nova.
This car is phenomenal, absolutely perfect...🖤😎
Man yall always feature the baddest rides. This Nova is ridiculous. My favorite segment is the black C10 with the white cab. Great content guys.
I love the 66 and 67 novas. This 66 nova is absolutely stunning. Fantastic quality build.
Out of all the car videos you’ve posted this car topped them all for me. Super super clean build the under carriage, engine bay and interior are so fucking immaculate.

Exceptional build, one the best Nova I ever seen what a job. Great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful 66 Nova fit and finishes flawless 👍👍
Great attention to detail on this build
The details! 😍
So many!!
I like the stance. Tucked wheels back and front. Butter. Sweet ride Yo.
Brings back memories of my high school car 66 chevyll nova SS,mine was maroon with black interior 327w/375 hp .power glide trans in 1980,I put several transmission in it,fun car.

HOLY SH$T Shawn, everything about this Nova is absolutely perfect. Stunning car! Killa build & like always, Killa episode. Cheers AutotopiaLA 💪🏻
Love that car & the interior really sets it off!
Nicely detailed and finished. Lots of thought went into this build yet a simple and straightforward car.
Awesome build, the color combo, stance, everything....great attention to the details!
On of the Prettiest Beast I’ve seen
Very nice build i like the stans of the car and color good job shawn and the crew.
stunning and beautiful

Your comment is greatly appreciated👊
@@christophermarechal5017 my pleasure.
solid clean nova! checked all boxes! the interior is so tastefully done as well with all the power features.
I think the key subjects are attention to detail and practically. I love when professionals tell people how absurd it is to have excessive HP on daily drivers. Anything over 600 just isn't reasonable for daily. Enjoying the ride is more important than being able to show off. I'll take a build like this any day of the week
what a rad ride
Wow that’s one amazing ride!
Sure is
You show so many cool rides… ❤
Love that Nova! 👍🏾
Awesome ride, greetings from Perú
Such a beautiful cool ride
This Nova is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! I also agree, any more hp in a car like this is simply overkill and useless. Hot damn, this is one of my favorites that you've shot. As a machinist who's worked in big oil for 20+ years the tubing and sheet metal work on this is so clean. Perfect! 🤍
That is a sweet build. HDM Bluetooth paddle shifters, cool beans.
This is one totally awesome car both inside and out. This has got to be one of the best you've showcased on the channel.
LOVE These! I want One
Awesome high classe build very nice 👍🏽
Simply clean & beautiful right there 👍
This is one sweet ride! Love that is has paddle shift.👍👍
WOW that’s a clean car Shawn.
Love these novas super lite and I can guarantee you that 450hp feels like 700 all day long! Damn this is a beautiful clean build and because I have ocd I absolutely love what they did under the hood,bumpers and undercarriage 🤌🏼....DAMN I FREAKIN LOVE THIS NOVA!🔥
@4:00 Truth. This car reminds me a lot of the CHC (Chris Holstrom Concepts) '67 Nova. Very sweet ride!
The intro audio is insanely good 👌 audio...not to mention the top tier edit
Thanks. I love the work our team does. Kyle/SuedeOps is killing it
Ok, I've watched most of your videos. And I've seen some incredible builds. This one though? Took them all and ate them for breakfast. Seriously - took my favorite Chevy.

My only gripe because I'm old school is I don't like skinny wheels on an old Hotrod like that. I want to see some meat. 500hp is plenty of fun under the hood. Such a nice build. I'd love to have the same car - just in black :)
very nice car
attention to details is unreal, beautiful car!
Very clean and perfect build. Interior is amazing. Greetings
It's a beast under the hood, but looks so classic! Gorgeous build, I love it!👏👏👍❤
So yeah that is one badass car... but so is that Jag in the background!
That's a beautiful build all the way around.
Sin duda al abuelo nunca sele acaba la fuerza
what a beautiful car.
The underside! 5:40 Holy crap!
