- In this 72nd Video from Classic Car ChitChat you will get to see a beautiful 1980 Chevy Camaro Z28 Restomod with a Gear Drive! This car has been lovingly restored by her owner David who has owned it for over 27 years. The car has a 383 Stroker Engine with an exhaust system that makes this beauty “roar”. The can was retrofitted with a 5-speed manual transmission in a blue metal-flake colour that can only be described as a mesmerizing blue.
In case you are keeping Track this is Video # 72 of Classic Car ChitChat Videos!
I hope my Classic Car ChitChat video’s make you smile. I do them in my spare time because I truly love cars and my intentions are simply to honour the beautiful cars I get to see and to really understand the passion and love of the vehicle by the driver (or caretaker as Jay Leno would say) of the car. I also understand too that my videos perhaps lack the polish calibre of great CZcamsrs like: Doug DeMuro, Scotty Kilmer, and of course my favourite Supercar Blondie. I also know that I can’t even come close the quality & finish you get from the likes of Jeremy Clarkson and the boys at Top Gear. I think they use a little fancier equipment than my little iPhone… LOL
Mission Statement:
My Objective through creating these videos is to shine the spotlight on people who love their vehicles whether it be a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle…. Bottom line is if it has wheels and you love it then let’s show that passion to the world!
Equipment Used:
Camera - Just an iPhone SE (Nothing fancy - which proves anyone can use whatever you have handy to make a video… you don’t need really expensive equipment)
Gimbal - DJI OM4 - For that ultra-smooth cinematic look. (To be honest... still not quite sure how to use it but one day I will figure it out!)
Audio - Rode Wireless GO II (I gotta be honest… this is really the biggest investment that was made… I wish there was a cheaper option but after the first couple of videos I soon realized that audio quality is important and hopefully better than the onboard mic on the iPhone!

If you have read this far, then I thank you. As always, I truly appreciate your “thumbs-up”, and by leaving your comments it demonstrates to me that I managed to get you involved and hopefully made you smile. Most importantly when you subscribe to my channel then you are truly acknowledging my effort to help share with others like you my passion and love for “all things that have wheels” and honouring the people who take care of them.
Thank You
Kevin
Beautiful Z. I have had mine for 17 years and finally at a point where I can start thinking about a full restoration. Yours is great inspiration!
Travis, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. You are indeed a lucky man to have owned such an awesome car for 17 years. Don’t let her go. The Camaro in my view was always the car that was easily recognizable and always sought after by every muscle car lover. Back in the day I bought an 84 TransAm and drove it all your round on its summer tires(because I couldn’t afford winter tires or he he k a winter beater car) I loved that car and wish that I had the ability to keep her. It was either the car or buy a house.. trust me i even tried convincing my wife we can live in the car…LOL
Wow!! I rescued a 1980 from a junkyard a little more than 10 yrs ago knowing nothing about restoration but only that I always wanted one. 4 engines later (305,350,5.3,and finally 6.0 lots of learning off CZcams she’s ready for primer and paint. Love it!!
Thank you C Smith. First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I’m impressed you built a car by watching videos on CZcams. I think that’s amazing. I would love to see a picture of your build. Would you be able to email it to me at ClassicCarChitChat@gmail.com?
@@ClassicCarChitChat I sure will It would be an honor.
what a beautiful example of good old American muscle car and it simplicity . She is gorgeous.
Adriana, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). You are right. This car always turns heads. You can hear her a mile away and when she shows up the car just speaks volumes in terms of the quality of the build and her perfect finish and body lines.
Cars used to be designed by the artist,then as closely made after the ability of mass production could do. Now it's mass production VS what a human had designed as art. If only we could go back to primarly artist made vehicles,with the new technology incorporated,without the loss of human art! Anyone agree?
Leecordell, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I completely agree with you. Take a look at the era of cars before the 80's each had unique styling elements and it was a time when perhaps we did not fuss so much about aerodynamics and left that aspect to aircraft design. Nowadays take a look at any SUV as an example and it is almost impossible to differtiae a KIA, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai... Heck even Buick now. 😊
The sound of that engine. Incredible!
Thank you James

My FIRST BRAND NEW CAR...17 YEARS OLD YOURS IS BEAUTIFUL KEEP IT FOR EVER
Louis, wow.. what a memory. I don’t think David has any intention in selling this car and recognizes how special the car is.
I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.
My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Great to see the correct tail lights and panel and front turn signal housing. Beautiful Z28
Mario, thanks for pointing it out. David was making it as period correct as possible.. after all, why change perfection.😊.

@ClassicCarChitChat I also a huge fan of the late 2nd gens. The Z28 had small details like this many don't know. The 2nd gens had the best body out of all styles. GM had to make up for the lack of power.
Beautiful camaro. My brother had that car in 89. Same color , exactly. I have a 79 z/28. Had it since 1990. After 2 different 350s, it's getting a 5.3L. Yes, om joining the ls swap group. Lol
Mike, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. The Camaro is incredible for sure and for you to throw in that 5.3L rocket n your Camaro is going to leave people wondering what the heck just passed them. Good for you, and if you live in the GTA let’s make a video.
@@ClassicCarChitChat wish I was over there. I'm waaaaay over in BC. Lol
My target for the car is a sweet highway cruiser. Ss2 cam, holley terminator x and other goodies. Once I get it dialed in, no reason my wife and I (she loves cars as I do!) Can't make a trip east!
Incorporate it into to HotRod Power tour . That's the ultimate goal, drive in that as a long hauler! Keep up the great content!
You must be max from stranger things 😂
THANK YOU SO MUCH. SHE IS VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!!

This Z28 is absolutely bad ass! The color and stance is awesome. Sounds wicked!

You are so right. The car is always a big hit at car shows.. that’s why I park my little MG as far from David as possible otherwise nobody would look at mine.. LOL
A classic car in so many ways. Love seeing one with some great attention to detail. I wish I had kept mine 😪
Thank you Steve. I get what you are saying.. wish I had kept my Trans Am too.
Had one when I was a kid. Mine was the dark blue with gold trim and T top. God I miss that car. I always wanted to make it look as pretty as this one
Prizma, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). Let me tell you that you are not alone in thinking this. At every car show this car gets so much attention because she really is so powerful and beautiful too.
My brother had an 81 dark met blue, saddle interior, with the gold Z28 stripes. This generation Z is hard to find and under values. Beautiful representation of a classic!
Micheal, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow ´ordinary people’ like you and I who love cars an opportunity to speak about their love of their car and why that car means so much to them. After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). I think you nailed this on the head. I too think this generation of the Z28 gets so often overlooked it’s sad. However when you see one like David’s in such awesome condition you get reminded as to how truly awesome this car is.
One of the finest examples I have ever seen.
Thank you.
I worked as a painter in a chevy dealership bodyshop from 78 to 81 and I drove alot of these and there was about 30 to 1 automatics to 4 speeds I loved the 4 speed cars.i repainted a few that same color also the owners son had a corvette that color and they never had enough paint on the hood roof and trunk you could see the factory sealer through the paint on a few my bosses daughter had a berlaneta the same color I repainted just the hood on it. That's a really clean car you have I'm building my 88 monte carlo ss I have a 661 hp 427 big block I built for it with a manual valve body turbo 400 with a reverse shift pattern
Richard, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 👏. That is impressive that you really got a chance to get up close and personal with these beauties.
I had a 79 z28 matchbox car when I was a kid, and always said my first car was gonna be that. And it was. I was the second owner of mine too. Had a 350 horse 350 with a quicksilver ratchet shifter, ended up having to get rid of it and regretted it ever since. That was in 2001. I miss the hell out of her 😭
Philip, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). Now that is really what I call dreaming as a kid and making that dream come true.. I can only imagine how much you miss her (perhaps more than some relatives…LOL)
Had.
I saw the car at the show, and had the pleasure of meeting David! Let me tell you, this is definitely a ‘one of a kind’ 1980 Z28. Being a 1981 Z28 owner myself , I will tell you that this Camaro is in a ‘class of its own’. Nicely done. The ground shook when he started it💯👍
Frankie, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I am glad you got to " fully experience" this incredible car.. And yes the ground shakes and the heart throbs.😊
@@ClassicCarChitChat lol… it sure does
I was working for UPS when they came out. I stopped at the dealership on my way home and dreamed of buying one just like that. I later bought a corvette but never forgot that car.
Michael, I hear you but the Corvette is pretty darn awesome too. I made a video of a stunning Stingray many weeks ago.. you may appreciate and a little spoiler alert.. look for a 65 corvette convertible.. coming to this channel soon !
@@ClassicCarChitChat it was enjoyable. Lots of good memories.
My Dad had a 78 in Red ....nice Childhood memory ... remember when he cried ...had to trade it for a Chevy Spectrum in 86 (yikes).. I was 5 and remember it vividly
Kaos, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. Isn't it amazing how certain cars especially vintage vehicles just trigger some memories. Don't you wish you still could get a hold of that car?
@@ClassicCarChitChat oh absolutely...I live in Germany tho..so that would be pretty expensive considering the gasoline prices of round about 7 bucks for a gallon ;)
Nice Camaro Z28!!
Mississauga baby 😎👍
Glad the owner shared his car and drive fun video and nice to see our city!
Clem, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). Great to see you are a fellow Mississauga too. And you are certainly right.. David’s Camaro is often heard first and then seen.
Very nice example of the malaise era Camaros, but redone to perform! Great work on this!
Robert, thank you. The owner has certainly made the right modifications to make the car perform better (and sound better) than expected. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Super CLEAN and Absolutely Sinister wheel tire suspension set up is on perfect 👌
Averyparticular (love the name), First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos are not to be "how to" videos (I think there are amazing videos made by others far qualified than me) instead my focus is to create a platform where "ordinary" people who love cars get an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I would agree, this car has been built with the utmost attention to detail and it certainly shows. Kevin
Last beautifully made Camero! Especially Z28! If G.M. had made this exact model,brand new in 2018 when I bought a retro Challenger..an even tho I'm a mopar nut..I would have bought the G.M. .
Thanks for sharing!... Bet you still miss her don't you 😢
Beautiful car. My first car was an 81 Z28 that was white with blue stripes. The air induction hood with the flaps that open at full throttle my friends thought was the coolest thing ever.
Chris, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. You are indeed very lucky to have the Z28 as your first car.. I bet after watching this video you wished you had kept her. Kevin
Had a 1980 Z28 just like that, same color even, late '79 to end of '85 when I joined the Army. Wouldn't mind getting another one. Mine wasn't modded quite as nice as that one back in the day - it had the original 350 engine with headers and dual exhaust, an Edelbrock Performer manifold, Holley 650, and Cam Dynamics 286 Enforcer cam, nitrous kit, WS-6 Trans Am anti-sway bars, gas shocks, suspension lowered 1 inch and 265/50-15 tires all the way around. We didn't have 20 inch wheels in those days so it had the original 5-spoke steel wheels. It looked stock but handled like a go-cart and turned 14.2s @ 98.5-mph at the track without the nitrous. Only made one run at the track with the nitrous - it turned 13.7 @ 105 but I couldn't even use the nitrous until I was just about to shift into 2nd gear with the automatic. No way I could get it to hook up off the line or anywhere in first gear. I was surprised that he got 285s on the back. Even fiting the 265s required that I remove the rear seat belts and flatten the bulges that protruded into the wheel wells and bend the inner fender lips for clearance but maybe because he didn't need to lower it with the 20" wheels. Putting 265/50-15s on the original 15" wheels made them look lost in the wheel wells so I cut a coil off the front springs and modified the leaf spring bracket to lower the car an inch which looked awesome.
Derrick, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. Wow, she sounds like a beast and I bet you still wish you had kept her.
@@ClassicCarChitChat Thanks. Looking at that one really brought back a lot of memories. And made me think, yeah, that's what I would have done had I not been a broke college student. LOL. The story of how I got mine is funny. As a teenager, like all teeagers at the time, I wanted a Trans Am just like Smokey and the Bandit. Didn't we all? But by the time I was old enough and in any position to even think about it, they had discontinued the Pontiac 400 engines and I didn't want anything to do with the Turbo Trans Am. Anyway, I had a clunker that had gotten me through high school and one day my parents said they would buy me a new car as my graduation present. Woo-hoo! But my parents were absolutely not car people. So I figured I needed to stick with something basic like a Malibu or whatever Pontiac had at the time in that market slot. So my dad and I went out to look at cars. Now I had my standards - I wasn't having anything that didn't have at least a V-8 and a sport package, even if it was just a 305. Well, every car we looked at with those types of options was around $12,000. Dad looked at the sticker and saw the option list and said no way, you don't need all of this. So we were kind of stuck. Went to the Chevy dealer, the Pontiac dealer, and the Oldsmobile dealer but it was always the same: $12,000 +/-. And dad just kept saying that I didn't need the V-8 or the sports package, he just wanted me to have a reliable car for college. Without those kind of options they were around $10,000. So while we were at the Chevy dealer I was just wondering around and I started looking at this dark metallic blue Z28 with the light blue stripes. Man it was beautiful, just like the one in the video. Of course there was no way, was there? Dad would never go for that. So I looked at the sticker: it said A/C, tinted windows, floor mats. That was it. No other options. $8250. I ran over to my dad and told him that he had to come and see this. He looked at the sticker, saw that it wasn't loaded up with options, and saw the $8250 price and that was that. They would not budge on the price as Z28s were selling like hotcakes at that point but $8250 was still much less than the other cars. And so that was it, we bought the Z28.
I love how you built this car. Essentially form follows function. Also, you retained the small block. Personally I'm tired of LS swaps. Very nice!
Kudos to your son waiting patiently at the end.
First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. David has done an incredible job building this car to what she is now. There is nothing that makes old guys like me happier than knowing the next generation of youth are taking some of their parents passion and keeping cars like this alive for long after we’re gone.
yeah great to see u kept the small block very nice car bro
THANK YOU FLOWMASTER!!!!

My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. You are right. Some cars (like this one) just get it right. The whole rake on the car is so perfectly done with the right wheels and tires and tuning of the suspension.. it really is a testament to owners like David!
I would prefer the original wheels & tires for that "classic" look these cars originally had.
Kudos for converting the Camaro to a manual transmission! He's a beautiful piece of machinery.
Annatar, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I agree with you. There is just something amazing about the manual drive and the ability to be ´at one ´ with the engine. Back in the day I had an 84 TransAm which was an automatic.. but I also had a Suzuki swift GTi that was a 5 speed and so much to drive in a different way.
I had one in high school I put a 400 sb in it I miss it so much when I dropped out of college and went to work well my mom was pissed so she had my dad sell it... I will never forgive her. I will have another one day soon. Almost done with my build that's going to be next.

After all we are all the "caretakers"of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). 👏 I bet too when you cars that have been restored to this calibre by owners like these that it continues to inspire you. Looking forward to knowing how your baby turns out. It's never too late. I still think about my 84 TransAm that I owned 30 years ago.😊
@@ClassicCarChitChat I will my current build might not yet be classic yet but will be one day and it will be rare because of the cab. But I've done a fram up restore and also I made it so you can tow 25,000 lbs and also go chase down sxs in the desert and jump it also you can... still working on power but soon I should be around 1,000 horsepower some were around 1,800 ft pounds hopefully.
I just bought myself a Z28 for a MASSIVE DEAL from my uncle. (I've been wanting his car since I was 8) He rebuilt the engine and transmission and has 60k original miles. All that's left for me to do is tidy up the seats and get it repainted (original paint ofc). I've just been watching videos and reading some forums so I can get to know the car more and stumbled on this one. So sick love it.
Tovix (love the name by the way) First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

I hope too you will cherish her and keep her running for many years to come.
I have the same color with t tops and a four speed. I’ve owned it since 83 with 45k original miles with one repaint. All original parts except headers , radial tires and an aftermarket radio it came with . I also have the build sheet I found behind the back seat. Fun car though drive.

This car is beautiful. I've grown to love these late gen 2 Camaros. I personally own a 1971 Camaro.

Any oldschool muscle with a hurst stick is bound to put a smile on your face. The owner has some serious serious self control with not flooring after every turn 😂😂

Great video Kevin and good to see young people getting into classic cars especially with dad's like these. Awesome car keep her going.
Thank you Dan… I think David is a great example of a role model for keeping the car passion alive with young people.
Fantastic video of one of the best Chevy's ever built.
Thank you Frank
Ahh I miss my Camaro. It was a 81 but did not look or sound as sweet as this beauty. Great video.

You see a lot of earlier model Camaro restomods on CZcams but finding a 78'-81' body version appears to be exceedingly rare. This video is the only one I have found of that style on here. Thanks for showing us around this beauty and letting us come along for a ride--brings back great memories. I just really, really wish you guys would have wrung that thing out fully on some quiet or cordoned-off bit of roadway. Wanted to see those cowl gates wide open through every gear to redline!😄
Mark, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). Trust me it was really tempting to see more “red line” driving. Perhaps I can convince David to meet on an abandoned airport strip and see what happens!
I believe they were so ragged on,and rusted out..that's why they weren't long lasted. In 1990,most around Indiana,were rusted out and abused to far for most to restore or do anything with. It sad,but atleast G.M. kept making the most artist made cars and trucks. Th8nk tho..how hard would it it be,for such a great company,to just reproduce the same,with better longevity and better 400hp models,atleat?!! There are 2 kinds of car buyers,those who want what is available they like. Then there are the ones that want what they want..can look at and have ever lasting art,that is truly appreciated!
What an absolutely awesome looking Camaro!! Love that color! The entire car is so well done, it takes me back to my youth. I had a '77 Z/28 40 years ago. Sorry I sold it. Great video, stunning car!
Vincent,First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I couldn’t agree more this car is so gorgeous and certainly turns heads every car show he goes to. I bet you miss your Z28 it’s something that true car lovers understand and trying to explain that feeling to non car lovers is next to impossible. I still miss my 84 TransAm.. it’s been 25 years and I think of her daily!
I owned one in the 80s exactly like this but it had a factory 4 speed. Loved it! I think the color is called midnight blue 😮 Unfortunately I couldn't get it to stop oil leaking of the valve covers.
Bighoss.. I bet when you see videos like this one with a pristine Z28 it reminds you of her. Don’t you wish you kept the cars.. leaks included 😊.
I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for taking the time to watching my videos, leaving a comment and for subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.
My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Nice Z28! I was born the year it was made. I have a 2018 2SS.

After all we are all the ´caretakers’ of our cars (as Jay Leno rightly says). You lucky dog to have a 2018.. I bet you’d love David’s car… but I don’t think he has any plans to sell it.
Very, very nice car. I love how you did the resto keeping the factory appearance outside. This year Camaro looked awesome from the factory so hiding the modern upgrades under the factory look is the perfect way to go for me. Nice build, nice car and thank you for sharing.

My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I completely agree.. David has done an incredible job recreating this beauty.
Certainly an awesome car, brings back memories of my 1980 Z28, the one had was silver, with red and orange stripes.

Don’t you wish you still had her after all these years. I have seen a few in silver but never with the striping in red and orange. I think it would look awesome… lucky man indeed.
Remindes me of my 1980 ,same color ,same stripes,but because i lived on the texas coast,rust was taking over,i would have done the same setup,same rims and engine as david,i made the mistake of trading it for an 82 z-28

My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. I didn’t think that in Texas rust was an issue. I think as Canadians we assume it’s all the salt after snow clearing … but you are right that could destroy a car in so many ways. I bet when you see videos like this it reminds you of your beautiful car and I bet too you still miss her. Heck I still think about my 84 TransAm every day!

OK , I have been told by everyone and their uncle that I’m saying it all wrong.. for that I apologize. Coming from the UK the ´Z’ was always pronounced as ZED and never ZEE.. in Canada many also call it ZED .. either way.. awesome car.
We’re Canadian, eh?
I saw those flaps open just once. He should of ripped it through the gears, and let those things, click clank, open and close, from first to fourth.
Beautiful car

I knew it was Canadian when he said Zed and not Zee, love these cars, i had a78 Z28, and a 80 Z28.
No way, so Americans say Zee28 and Canadians Zed28. I never knew.. learn something every day. No matter how you say it - It’s gorgeous. I think Canadians and Americans pronounce Gorgeous the same way.. LOL. Thanks again for watching.. it means a lot to me. Kevin.
They are Z28's(ZEE28), NOT ZEDS!!
Had.
@@JG-ef2cn ZEE sounds like its a girls car, Zed is more manly
Well done! Thanks for sharing. 27 years! I can see the attraction in late 70's and early 80's difference in styling is that you don't see a lot of well build, not rusted out cars of this age. Great build! smiles per mile CHEERS

My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. You are exactly right.. to see an iconic car like this Camaro makes us smile and think about how much had gone into such an awesome car to have her looking and don’t forget sounding so darn awesome.
I don't even care much for that body style camaro. But I must say that is a clean ride.

The sound of that engine and exhaust combo could not be sweeter. Who needs a radio. 😊
I was asking about great small youtube channels featuring cars on Reddit and got this as a suggestion. I was shocked to see my old stomping ground in the first video. I grew up in Mississauga and moved to the maritimes. Oddly enough, your videos are very similar to mine in that you love unique classic cars and the stories their owners have. I just started out a few months ago and I'm glad to subscribe. Love the vibe of your videos! Super wholesome! The nostalgia I'm feeling with Streetsville in the background of the studebaker video. Bravo
Gearheadsyndrome, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. I am glad you are appreciating my videos on 2 levers.. First the car and then if course the beautiful village in the city of Mississauga. I will definitely check out your videos and channel and one day I am planning a trip out to Newfoundland and the maritime region and would love to drop by and say hello. Let's keep our passion alive for cars and share with future generation.. And relive those times when cars were unique and quirky and why a car does not necessarily have to have blue tooth and power seats to make them beautiful and fun. Kevin
@ClassicCarChitChat cheers Kevin!
You're more than welcome out here in the Maritimes! I'm based in Moncton which is central to the 3 Atlantic provinces. You'd drive right by on your way to Newfoundland! Maybe we could do some collaboration video when you visit. We have enough unique vehicles for you to feature!
I would have went with 18 rear 12inch wide, 17 in front, my opinion the wheels are a little to big, but I love this car and color!
The factory stripes are a must, I hate when people remove the IROC decals on IROC Camaros!

Lately, I’ve been watching a lot of Camaro vids. I live in Japan, so they are definitely a novelty here. Saw a nice one the other day though. It was an earlier model than this, with patina.
Nick, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it.

I am sure in Japan you may see some interesting cars too... However classic muscle cars are hard to beat. Kevin
@@ClassicCarChitChat I gotta say the vibe of this car is off the charts. resonates much more than some of the big money builds Ｉ’ve seen
@@nickmills8476hey friend I have a 78 z28 that I'm fixing they're easy builds with the LS engine it a 350, 454, ,383 depending on your budget. I'm glad to see someone that has passion for American muscle 💪

My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. The Z28 is just such a naturally beautifully designed, engineered and just so much fun to drive. I still think often of my 84 TransAm which had some very similar attributes and such a pleasure to drive. No matter what people say and no matter how many bells and whistles new cars come with you can’t beat the classics!
So did I. Mine had T-Tops, A/C and pwr windows. Too bad, with pollution controls at the time, the 350 4-barrel only developed 195 HP, but 335 lb-ft of torque. It pulled pretty well. And the sound of that exhaust through the resonators, no mufflers. Eventually 2 kids and luggage didn’t fit and swapped for a Pontiac 6000 V6 with wire wheel covers. Classy in its own right but not sexy
Gorgeous Camaro z28

Nice to finally see one i had one i wish i didn't sell a couple of differences but probably because it originally had an automatic and mine was a 4 speed. Beautiful car

@@ClassicCarChitChat im embarrased to tell the reason i sold it. Ive allways had two vehicles, a 4x4 and muscle car for weekends. My new addition was my 86 Silverado and i didn't pay as much attention to the z28 so when i did use it alot of little things were going wrong. All the upgrades i was doing to my truck i wanted a car that i dident have to tinker with. So listening to my girlfrends complains that she couldent climb into the truck anymore because i jacked it up and the z28 was too loud! So she convinced me to bye her mothers 87 supra that was only two years old and like 5k miles. Like an idiot i sold the Chevy z28 for a damb Toyota. I enjoyed it for a while but allway felt i betrayed Chevy for some reason.
My Father has a nearly identical build 383 stroker tremec 5 speed 4 wheel disc same colour same interior just a little more bling under the hood if i could post a picture I would! There is definitely very few around in good condition these days.

I have a 87 monte carlo SS I'm putting my 427 big block in and it's going to be my weekend cruiser I'm putting new quarter panels on the car and a set of new doors car is black with red ss stripes and ss tags I will repaint either black with no stripes or a maroon color I really like. I work most my life as a painter in body shops and in 1978 I worked for a chevy dealership as a painter in new Orleans and I drove alot of Z28s and I kept track of the cars that came through and from what I remember only about 1 out of 35 Z28s were 4 speeds you had to order it that way.i ordered a 79 Z28 4 speed black with t tops stripe delete with the oyster gray interior but when the car came in it had powder blue interior I almost didn't take the car I wanted a 1 of 1 combination
I put a set of rims and tires on the car headers a isky 280 camshaft with a aluminum intake and a 650 holly carb duel exhaust running into a set of thrush hush thrush mufflers I put every penny I had into that car I even had the tail lights blacked out with the plexiglass tail light covers the car was beautiful right after I made my 7th car payment I walked out of the shopping mall with my girlfriend and found out my car was gone I parked way away from all the other cars so nobody would open there door up and put a dent in mine. Made a police report and got a call about 2 am they found my car it was towed to the impound I went to go pick up my car and as I walked up to it I noticed the t top on the passenger side was up a little when I got closer I could see the passenger door was wrecked and pushed into about the middle of the seat I was sick I started crying the car was totaled with only a Lil more then 4200 miles on it I got sick to my stomach I was so upset all the money and work I put into my pride and joy . Sad day in my life as a 18 year old kid who thought life couldn't get any worse.

My intention for the videos is to allow "ordinary" people who love cars an opportunity to speak about their car and why that car means so much to them. As I read your comments I was hoping it was going to be a story about how your Monte Carlo looks today. Especially being a car painter (a true artist in my book). The last couple of sentences left me feeling sick to my stomach too. As a car lover, I can only imagine the pain and anguish you went through and likely still do. Sadly there are many that don't appreciate cars as much as us and don't quite get it, and perhaps never will. I hope seeing this video encouraged you to perhaps find another project to work on.
Oh yeah I'm going to be putting my big block in my monte carlo around the end of October when I take my next week's vacation it's just to hot right now I live in Louisiana and it is like a oven down here right now I'll have my new quarter panels and doors on my car by then I'll do the engine swap and have the car all painted and detailed by the end of the year then I'm going to start saving money to find a 55 chevy that's going to be my next project I'll be retiring in about 21/2 years so I'll have alot of time to focus on another project I've been in love with 55s sense I seen American graffiti at the drive inn when I was 13 years old.....lol have a great day

Idk what the crap a Zed28 is ,but nice Z28
Thanks Jason.. LOL
That's a great car. I had a 79 z-28....I do have a question a couple of things I've never seen a Z 28 they didn't have tilt wheel, or no air conditioning, or with Vents like that, Especially on the side on the bottom... I would have to see the factory build sheet or the Vin number
but definitely a nice car ,..... There were a few other things, but I don't wanna dog the car. Good job.

My brother had a 79 z 28, it had a tilt steering wheel and air conditioning. I have a 79 z28 no tilt wheel and no air-conditioning, both had Borg Warner T10 4 speed Manual transmissions. The z28 in the video had heater vents correct for a non air-conditioning car. The heater vents in the center of the dash were fake ( non air-conditioned cars only) In that spot I installed mechanical Auto Meter oil pressure & water temperature gauges.
love the z 28 but even know I wasn't a fan of t tops seals dry up and leaking but it's most exciting z28 there just not at there most classy completness with out them

Awesome Camaro chief. Any input on air filter etc please advise. Wow. This encouraged me to get my car rolling again.
I have a canary yellow 1980 w/t-tops and need to get that bad boy back on the road. It's been in my garage for over 15 years now. Can you please advise where you got the billet hood latches? Those look awesome and would compliment my stainless steel headers and billet pulleys. What size are the rims and where can i get some of those from? I need to upgrade my brakes any pointers?

My intention when creating these videos is to showcase not only the beautiful car but give the owner an opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
Thank you Angel. I’m happy to hear you are inspired and hope you get your camaro on road looking and performing as expected. As for the rims unfortunately they are discontinued but they are US MAG wheels Front 20”8.5” Rears 20”x10”, +1 offset. The brakes are a full wilwood 4 wheel disc brake kit. Summit racing has these kits available and requires very little modifications to install.
my buddy had one. I whipped it with my datsun 510 street/slalom car. He then had headers installed (to no advantage)
No way Don.

John, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. You rascal.. I’d love to see it.. can you email me a photo to Classic CarChitChat@Gmail.com

Steve, First of all thank you so very much for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. My intention for the videos is to showcase the car and also allow the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. This car is so perfect in every way how can anyone not love her. Plus sadly the microphone could not really do justice to the amazing engine sound and that worm drive!
I have the Bright blue metallic version 1980 Z28
Hi JG, I actually say the bright blue colour version once and it too is beautiful. I also wanted to take a moment to personally thank for watching my videos and subscribing to my channel I truly appreciate it. As you may have seen in my videos that my intention is to showcase not only the beautiful car and really give the owner of the car (the caretaker as Jay Leno rightly says) the opportunity to share their story, love and passion for their car. Thanks again Kevin.
