The car is awesome, but can we talk about Mike for a minute? I have been watching car and hotrod shows for 30 years. I have never seen someone who can take other peoples cars and convey them to an audience like Mike. He has always found a way to make you feel the passion of the car and owner. Thank you Mike for the great cars and possibly the best experience possible.
All about this dudes mindset in building it now thats a man with heart. His artistic abilities are insane!!! never had teh eye for it And the LT5...what a frigging engine!! If only we coulda had this back in the 80s! Rain or shine drive these things guys may come a day not too long off we might not get to Wasnt planned but 1st drive after 12 yr frame off I hopped on teh fwy and started pouring Thought about it...and laughed burned up a lot of gas that day
im 22 and i own a 68 firebird. i plan to make it a ride worthy for me. hooking up the cable to my shifter rn, 6 year process ending after this is done. thank you for being motivation in giving your take on how these cars should live out its time with us. badazz car
They all want to be driven.. The dedication it takes to your chosen Vehicle.. Is the best example of actual Love... Even traffic is better in a Classic Car.. Cheers from Huntington Beach CA 🇺🇸 Daily Driver 68 Dodge Dart..
Awesome!! Keep us posted on it. Got my 1st ride at 18 or 19 67 rs. Youre gonna love it...with new suspension bushings parts youll be surprised how solid it drives! A 12:1 steering box will totally change the car. Summit has them
That car is mean, wicked, nasty, and brutally beautiful! So much talent in that build. And I finally figured out why I get so pumped when I watch Mr Musto - he's the Gray Baskerville of the 21st Century - real/raw reviews from a guy who builds and drives them. Thank you all for this ~ Chuck 😊
My favorite thing about that car is the fact that it has dust on the dash, it's painted with rustoleum, it's being driven in the rain, etc etc. Oh and the Firebird in the background WOW 😍 please ask him if you can do a future episode on that car too!
Dude. I was such a huge fan of Totem since I was a kid! Did not know that he was such a cool car guy! Makes me want to meet him and pick his brain some day. He is a huge inspiration especially his 3D work is still top notch. His rides are so sick too. Amazing.
I’ve always really liked the look of this car, I look back at the first video I saw of the car from time to time when they’re rolling it out of the exhaust shop, glad you covered it Mike really appreciated it 👍
she's looking real mean... head lights behind the grill, all murdered out like a stealth fighter jet and the switch panel... sick!! sounds great too, not like a typical clapped out muscle car these days
SAAAAAAAWEET!! Mike Musto and the house of MUSCLE is BACK! My favorite automotive host EVER! It's like having the Big Muscle days all back again!! I started taking You Tube seriously and later got evolved with my own channel because of Mike. But I cover the little cars and I cannot drive them. LOL
@@hemmingsmotornews Molded in is clean but apprecite the look he was going for. In the late 70s this look caught on. Canyon racing even in s.f.v. was catching on. My 67 rs..couldnt afford to make them didnt know you could buy them at the time. Did a great job rolling the lips with a baseball bat though lol
In NorCal Walnut Creek CA there was a guy named Alex that had a 69 Camaro similar to Vengeance. Big brakes, turbo 396 I think, large 17 wheels, custom stereo, even satellite tracking device, looked modernized and this was in 1989. I recall it was black and totally before Mark Stielow.
Soon as I seen them fender flairs I said NOPE! Looks like someone that sticks a sock in their paints when people do that to cars that already have the perfect lines! Same thing with big hood scoops like on 3rd gen camaros when they put 4 inch cowl hood on and you open the hood its a stock 305 or 350.. People are getting 5-700+ horsepower under the stock hoods and it doesn't look like the guy who shoves a sock in his pants!

House of Muscle is back!!! Such a mean Camaro!!! 🏁
It is! What do you like most about this Camaro?
How aggressive it is. He killed it
The color, stance, and those spikes.@@hemmingsmotornews
@@chipjordan7872 Pretty good right!
@@hemmingsmotornews Like the inspiration behind it.

@ Well deserved imho. Thanks for all you do, and thanks to Hemmings as well.

But always Drive them..

TOTEM is the best and I don't think he'd have a problem with that!

His rides are so sick too. Amazing.
Yeah, man - he builds his rides from the heart as well which makes a HUGE difference...
@@drivebigmuscle8080 agree 100% … you can tell how much someone loves a car by how many revisions it goes through

Absolutely, and thanks so much for posting up!

You should do an episode on the Mulholland Hill racers.
It's been going on for decades
Would love to!
I’m all about the sinister look of that body style in a pro touring car , good job 👍
The house of totem baby !

Thank you Sir! We're trying!
One of the dopest in the graff game one of my fave camaros. Can't wait to take mine out soon
Glad to hear you're getting your Camaro ready to roll!
she's looking real mean... head lights behind the grill, all murdered out like a stealth fighter jet and the switch panel... sick!! sounds great too, not like a typical clapped out muscle car these days
That’s a crazy car, crazy beautiful!
One of my all time favorites!
Love his cars..I saw them a bit when I lived in ATL..👍🏾🏁

@drivebigmuscle8080 well, all I've got to say, Mike is, " Do it for THE KIDS!"
@@TheLukaCeeChannel HAHAHA!!! Well done! 😆
Finally house of muscle again 💪👍
It took a minute, but we're back!
Glad to see you back Mike! Great episode..
Thank you, and we've got a lot more to come!
We're excited to see Mike back in the driver's seat. There's more to come, so stay tuned!
House Of Muscle is back ? There really is a Santa Clause. Thank you looking forward to many more.
And many more you shall receive! Thank you!
Finally someone got a hold of this car. I have seen this car online for so long nice to get a closer look. Thanks
Only took me 15 years!
@@drivebigmuscle8080 MIne took 12 many yrs of working 7 days, paint shop failures etc.
You know every nut and bolt on it and that is worth something!
Awesome content as always Mike! Glad to see Thaddeus Brown in the credis as well! Keep up the good work y'all
Thad's the best!
Badass like always❤uall 💪🏼later
SOOOO BADASS!!!!!
Just wait... 😉
There are elements of this car I love. The fender flares are never one one of them.
Why is that Joe?
@hemmingsmotornews It cheapens the look of the car! A factory done wide body without the hardware showing through is the best.
@@joeavelar2222 Factory flared no such thing.
Ive seen flares wider than that molded in to the body..Nail the stance they look mean
@@hemmingsmotornews Molded in is clean but apprecite the look he was going for. In the late 70s this look caught on. Canyon racing even in s.f.v. was catching on.
My 67 rs..couldnt afford to make them didnt know you could buy them at the time. Did a great job rolling the lips with a baseball bat though lol
Car is & sounds sick...💪✌️
It was SO good!
EPIC.
This is the way I’ve always done my builds. I have a vision and stick to it. Opinions of others have never mattered.
Nor should they!
Build them how YOU want them to be is key!
Yes! House of Muscle is back! Subscribed Hemmings! Keep these episode coming please🎉
And they will! Hope you enjoy them!

Ever get a chance to hop in the car?
Once upon a time, Mulholland racecars looked like this..
Hell yeah! I’ve missed HOM.
Me too - can't wait bring you more episodes!
Slick...
Does anyone know where I can get a set of the flairs like the ones on this Camaro? Who makes them?
I believe me made those himself.
Who dosent like that look the trans am series always is a cool look. Aloha bobby & rose from the 70s
Dude! Mike Musto how ya been brother?! Subscribed!!
Been busy, but in the best possible way, so all good!
Bumblebee IYKYK
Sickkkkkk
How does it compare to “ Blue Balz”?
Much more raw than BB - but in a good way.
(Big red)
No question that Big Red is one of the most influential Camaro's in the world, but don't discount others.
So is the house of muscle back? or is this a one off?

First gen camaros are just MEAN. I love mopars and I really have tried to build some cool ones, but I would love to tackle a First Gen camaro.
Same here - they're killer cars!
like 82 !
Isn’t this basically the bumblebee Camaro from the transformers movie?
This car is the Inspiration they used to create Bumblebees look in TF4.
Stop on 10:55 look on buildings with sign infinity taillights, its design of taillights on this Camaro.
Does anyone know what brand these wheels are😍? They have such a JDM look but works so well on an American car.
Custom made for the car
He "bakes bread with an edge"?
Edgiest baked good you've ever seen...
Nice car , weird dude tho.
Weird in the greatest way humanly possible! We need more TOTEM's in the world!!
