Every gearhead has a car that he or she fell in love with as a teenager and actor Tim Allen makes no exception. His dream car is the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro and he is the proud owner of a customized 1968 Camaro 427 COPO.
Powered by a Corvette-sourced 7.0-liter V8 engine producing 505 hp, Allen’s Camaro is no ordinary pony car. It has an understated look that emphasizes the Camaro’s clean, strong lines, not to mention that it is built with an obsessive attention to detail.
Tim Allen stopped by Jay Leno’s Garage to show his ride and the talk-show host was really impressed. Not only with the car looks, but with the way it rides as well.
If you’re a fan of the original Camaro, the video is a must-see – especially the part where Leno gets to drive the car.
