The RS front is one of the best fronts out of any muscle car ever made.
Agreed all the way 👊
I agree, however I'm a fan of the muscle cars that had the hideaway headlight option. The, Cougars and Chargers, and other Camaros. The '66 Buick Wildcat.The GTO's.
the original camaros always looked better with the rs front ends
Even the 70 70 1/2 z28 rs split number sick stuff
I agree but they did not always work correctly when they got older. I had them on my 69 Camaro RS SS and had to replace a bunch of vacuum lines when they stopped functioning correctly. But yes, the RS headlights, grill, and Endura bumper rock.
Damn that's a sharp looking 69 Z28. I like restomods but I really love an original looking 51 year old car that looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. The best part is he's not afraid to beat the hell out of it.
Same for me. Love the customs and love original badasses like this one
The 1st generation Camaro, especially the ’69, was just perfect. Seeing one now still gets the same reaction as it did the first time.
His cars probably start shaking when they see the garage door opening up lol
😂😂 or get happy they’re not sitting in a garage in purgatory
AutotopiaLA facts
He definitely does what those cars are meant for. Drive harder...🤗🤗🤐💪
Yes he does and with total control and ease
There was a reason that the DZ 302 and the Boss 302s owned T/A back in the day... 7k RPM shifts reliably .. for days!! Awesome video Shawn!!
High revving beasts! Love it!!
@@AutotopiaLA Yeah, it looks like Tomy rather enjoys them too. Him telling you, "We'll just go for a little cruise..." is about as believable as depending on the weatherman!! Hook up and give it a little extra yank on the strap!! ;^)
Boss 302 Mustangs ate the Camaro 302 Z/28's for snacks.
Tomy Drissi is absolutely a hero, bro. Love that guy! He seems like a really cool dude to hang out with. Awesome video, Shawn. That’s an incredibly beautiful ‘69 Camaro.
He’s awesome and has some amazing cars!
A 69 z28 is a car that I always wanted just couldn't get a good deal on one.Dodge and Plymouth came out with theTA Challenger and ARA Cuda 340 +6 pak to compete with the Z/28 and Boss 302 Mustang .I had deal got all but the Z28 . My cousin had a❤blue Z but would not race it or let me drive it,I did take a ride in it and I think it was just as fast as the other three but you would have to line them up and it would have come down to drivers and traction😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤I still luv the style and look of theZ and want the one that had two four barrels from the factory very rare❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Sorry AAR Cuda I drive better than I text😂😂😂😂😂😅😊
My dream car! Thank you for showing some love to original legends!!!
Thanks for watching and enjoying this one. Usually it’s modded and customs but I love a great car and this one is a legend
As a former owner of a 1969 Z28RS, there was no such thing as an Z28RSSS. The only trim package from the factory was the RS on the Z28. Horsepower was 290 h.p. , 11to1 compression.
Didn’t think the RSSS existed with a Z28...290 rated but everything I’ve read says closer to 400
My dude is driving the shit out of that Camaro.. body roll and all. That chase car is no slouch either..... I see that V.
Tomy drives all of his cars no matter the value
@@AutotopiaLA you guys get a '60 409 4speed let me know
That CTS-V will take that Camaro down in almost all categories. Except looks. But that is subjective. The CTSV wagon is a rare item and will be a classic someday. Maybe not as good as that Camaro, but still a classic.
Agreed, I was surprised by the amount of body roll for being a z28
Yeah it looks pretty squishy. Some small upgrades would be appropriate. Unless you’re all 100% factory or nothing. This car is on my dream list!
There seems to be a theme here with good old Tomy… blue classic 60s muscle/sports cars. First his sweet 427 street Cobra, now a gorgeous '69 Z/28!
He’s got some serious collectible rides but drives em like they’re any other basher...love it!!
This guy is becoming my hero...you forgot the Historic Chaparral racing 1970 Camaro trans am race car...drove it on the street! As only Tomy does...Now that was bonkers!
Gotta love how a guy can enjoy driving iconoc cars like this 🙌
Nothing but love for Tomy and his approach to owning collectible cars
A true Camaro. Never crashed. Love it .50 plus years. Looks brand new.
Awesome! You never see original, non restomodded muscle being beat on like this. So cool to see them being driven hard instead of sitting at a show. Thanks for this. It was really an enjoyable video.
Glad you enjoyed it and yeah, I love that he drives his cars rather than parking them
Man that's one of the best looking, sounding & driving cars I've seen on the channel so far! I totally prefer to see rides like this one, all original....damn what a car! I almost bought a 68 RS back in the 80s, the dude screwed around painting it (never got it done when he said he was going to) ended up with a 1977 chevy custom van instead....haha
Pure joy on both of your faces. Best Camaro video ever!
Nice! Lemans Blue with white rally stripes on a 1969 Camaro Z/28 RS. 302, 4 spd, 3.73 rear axle ratio, front disc brakes, 4 leaf rear suspension, ZL2 cowl induction hood (optional), Endura bumper (optional), and 15 inch Rally wheels! The RS package is an appearance package upgrade which includes the hidden headlights, trim around the wheel wheels and back up/reverse lights under the bumper and different tail lights. The SS package was a performance package which included upgraded suspension (5 leaf rear springs as opposed to 4 or single leaf cars) and disc brakes along with upgraded engines in BBC or SBC. Awesome video...my favorite of all time Camaro. That was my dream car. I once owned a 69 RS/SS Camaro with ZL2 cowl hood, Endura bumper, and auto trans and SBC (it was painted white with blue rally stripes). Bought it from a guy in Northridge, and kept it for 8 years then sold it to a guy right before 9/11 to finance another house purchase...sometimes it sucks to be an adult. Wonder where shes at now? Love the content man! Keep it coming!
Thanks for the comment and the compliment here...and yeah, being an adult and responsible is often times difficult
Love the way he drives and you didn’t get scared. Love your facials as you come into the lot:) Keep up the GREAT work very much appreciated.
Thanks. He’s so much fun to shoot with and loves doing donuts in his rare expensive rides
7:09 best sound I have ever heard of any muscle car. That gave me goosebumps and my cheekbones hurt from smiling !
My personal favorite muscle car of all time!👍🏻🤘🏻
Awesome video, thanks guys! Great to see Tomy enjoys his cars and has fun with them. So refreshing to see a rare car out doing what its best at, not getting rubbed down with a diaper in somebody's collection!!
Agreed!! He’s a driver not a polisher 😂
This is how you're suppose to drive a car like this! No putting around town after a car show with this guy!
Man just watching that made me feel like I was 19 again and I wasn't even in the car
Awesome! I felt like a kid all over again too 👊
@@AutotopiaLA 👊
I’m a new subscriber and I have to say how impressed I am with this channel. Your interview style is perfect. You let ppl talk and ask the right questions. The production is tv show quality and it’s always dope cars and you’re straight to the good shit: story, car details, FN rippin! Love it. Keep up the great work sir
One of my dream cars for sure, like top 5. Best camaro ever (after '69 ZL1 but thosr are super rare). All the cars on here are so perfect it's insane
I love this one too and we always try to bring the best of the best
I’m glad he’s one of those who would swing these cars like they’re supposed to. Unlike most garage queens. Haven’t seen many vids like this with these the of cars 🔥
He loves driving his cars. You should check out our video with him in his ‘67 Cobra...swinging it hard!
Absolutely love your videos man, genuinely sucked in through the whole videos. Congratulations and keep up the awesome work!
Thank you! We have a lot of fun making these
Love the 302. One of the most impressive factory engines of it's time. Had one years ago.
Great engine! Way underrated on power...290? More like 400
I fugure mine had 350 or 375. Balanced , headers , offroad cam. 780 holley . Ran awfully good .
They ran well due to a good cam to crutch the poor heads. The Boss 302 was a far superior engine that came stock with a tiny (too small) cam.
That's so perfect. Like you Sean, I love the custom restomods. This, however, I can get on board with. Awesome car!
450hp in a small block 302! that's amazing
That’s a bit inflated. Rated at 290 from factory but is actually closer to 400 hp
@@AutotopiaLA I know, the only motors I knew that had that kind of power was l88 and ls6 bbc
400hp is still inflated ... the dz302 was great but it didn't make those kinda numbers..
Best 1969 Camaro video I have seen where owner drives it like it would have been driven on a Saturday night back in the day! Bravo!
Lucky guy gets to ride in all of my dream cars . And the best test drive channel on you tube
And sometimes I get to drive these beauties as well!! Glad you like what we do here
That's a beauty. Love how your not afraid to burn some rubber.
That is one gorgeous Z28. And an owner who isn’t afraid to drive it like it was intended. 👍
Exactly. Love that he drives his cars like this
Man ! I love this channel. Those smoking tires and the expression on your face....as good as it gets right here !
Thanks brotha!! He sure made me smile especially when I thought we were done and he went for more!
Muscle cars, donuts and rock music. Love this channel. :D
Thank you...we try to show what we think is cool always
I remember that video with Tomy and his Cobra. He's a freaking boss! Great cars, great driver and overall awesome dude 🤘🏼
what a beautiful, fun looking car man. That's awesome
3:20 There is no such thing as a Z28 RS-SS. You are saying that it is a Z28 and a Super Sport (SS) Camaro at the same time. There are Z28's with the RS option, and there are SS camaros with the RS option, but no Z28 ever came with the SS option. Great video, and that car is awesome!
I just posted the same information. Different motors in those two packages. The Rally Sport was a trim package that could be ordered on any Camaro. It came with hidden headlights, custom interior (wood grain dash, custom door panels, and the console (with the stirrup shifter on automatic transmission)), and separate rear backup lights.
Glad to see you guys make these comments! If my memory is correct the Z28 was available only with the Muncie 4 speed trans and no A/C! The DZ302 produced a high revving 290 HP. In 1983 I bought my first car, it was ‘69 Camaro painted Le Mans blue with blue vinyl interior. Bitchin video!
I have a 69z black with white stripes what an amazing car dz 302
I’ve been sharing video after video from this channel. So now I’m a subscriber. The hits just keep coming. A 302 Camaro is my lottery car, this episode nailed it for me.
Me to
I found my triple black '69 Z/28 with 32,000 miles in a barn in '94. Paid $2400 for her did a groundup restoration and Drive her as much as I can. The sounds and driving experience is Amazing!!!!
Awesome!! Would love to see it
Mine was in hotrod magazine in 92 . Rs z28
What. A. Car. Wow. And in the hands of a true pro driver. This video is better than a wet dream.
BEST VIDEO YET, DUDE THAT WAS SOOOOOO AWSOME!!!!!!!!!
Classic, classic car. Great video as always. Love it
THE SOUND at low rpm is just out of this world. The idle sound just says MADE IN AMERICA. It must be like that because I live in Europe.
That's not misfiring. An aggressive cam causes an inconsistent idle.
51 years old looks and sounds really good
@@AutotopiaLA American muscle cars from the past are soundwidse and lookwise just classics. I wish cobra on start of the wideo had spoke wheels. What is the biggest naturally aspirated engine fited to a car in America. I n Germani one cobra builder puts 10 or 12 liter engine in.
Good question...I know there’s a Superformance car making around 1000 hp and has been slightly over 200 mph which is insanity in that little car
Tomy the “ doughnut”. I have to watch his driving every once in awhile.
Beautiful colors, blue and white combo on a Camaro is just tops !
Cars were meant to be driven and that is waht Tommy does! Shawn, yet another super hit! Congrats.
Tomy drives everything he owns like this and I love it!!
He said" God drives a z28". I have to remember that one.
Hey Shawn you were not fibbing on the video content!! I'm loving the hell out of this channel keep it up bro!
That car is 51 years old and still the beast of the road. 👍
Hey Tommy thanks for showing the RS. I see you as the quintessential all American race car driver. Great cred man.
Thanks for the time warp. Kiwi Sam.
Classic old school Camaro! Beautiful builds!👏😍
Classic and pure cool timeless car
Nice! Brings back some very good old Memories!
A little late to the show but I just ran across this video. You guys are spot on no Z 28 SS combo Z 28 is the engine code option. fun fact, 1967 wasn’t badged as a Z28. It was only an option code given to customers. In order for Chevrolet to enter the Trans Am, there had to be so many of the car offered to the public. Therefore, we got one of the baddest beast of all time. Although 1967 was a small journal they up the Annie in 68 and 68 and 69 got the large strong version of the DZ 302 I’ve had a 69 Camaro RS since I was 15 still have it today just say a couple decades later lol I’ll probably be buried in it instead of a coffin. I love that thing! Cheers everyone!
The 69 Camaro was I think everybody’s favorite they only made it look like that for one year… it was special.. friend of mine‘s older brother had one when I was a kid, an orange, one with white stripes..
If u get it, you get it. If u don't, you don't. Tommy gets it. My favorite on Autopia.
Tomy definitely gets it and I saw your other comment with the correction...badass ride!
Now that was a great episode!!!!
That's the coolest video I've seen on CZcams
Thank you!!
@@AutotopiaLA keep them coming 👌
What a car! Definitely my favourite colour.
Luv this guys taste in cars! Awesome Camaro
He’s got class and can drive!
I enjoy an all original interior bc man they don’t make them like this anymore! Crazy to see how much detail went into these cars from factory. I like the overly done new stuff as well but it’s more unique looking at a all original interior🔥
I love em all but sure is cool to see these time capsule cars and especially to see them driven
I love this every time I see it, I used to drive like this all the time. Now everyone has a cell phone and you get in trouble.
2:30 some idiot in a toyota pulls right out in front of him
Great to see someone drive their car hard.
Agreed 👊
Beautiful car, beautiful colors, best of the best. I'm a Mopar guy, but would take this in a heartbeat. Thanks
Really great true classic and I love that Tomy drives it
Dang , how did I miss this one? Two seconds in I was thinking, that has to be Tommy throwing down pro!
Tommy’s smile says it all.
I believe factory spec’s on the 302 rated the engine at 290hp. However like most muscle cars of that era, the manufacturers listed hp was way lower that actual.
My all time favorite car.
The horsepower ratings of the time were overrated because engines were rated without accessories.
They marketed as 290 but I’ve read closer to 400 was realistic and this definitely makes more than 290 hp!
@@Robert-goose1 Its been documented with rebuilt engines to factory specs on engine dynos that they make @350/375HP, as does the Boss 302. Look at the RPM its rated at for 290HP at 5800, thats the trick in the statement. However, that is not the Peak RPM for the engine...which I believe is about 7000 RPM..there's were it making 350+ HP...
Love this channel, man that was funny how he got u off guard in that cobra.. Lol..I love doing that to my buddies in my TA
At this point I expect pure mayhem with Tomy
Thats how I drive to work! Jk so cool to know you could drive off the showroom floor! He drives it like it needs to be driven!
Agreed all the way 👊
Omg looks like a Awesome ride. ❤❤
This is one clean badass original 69 Camaro.
Sure is and gets driven which I love!
@@AutotopiaLA Sounds awesome brother.
Driving it like it was meant to be driven. Very cool.
I am a fan of those rims and caps
They’re timeless
They seriously look good on anything you bolt them to.I've seen a set of them on a mid 80s olds wagon and they looked good
They are called Rally Wheels in come in different sizes from 14 x 6 to 15 X 8, with different center caps
I've always wanted a Z28. Just an amazing ride!
Timeless powerful beauties
My First car lol Second was a Z-27
Shawn, do you think you could have had anymore fun???? What a life you've got dude. A ride in a 1969 Z28. Keep up the great videos. 👍👍👍👍
Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing
Z28 with the rally sport package. There's no such thing as a z28 RS SS
I just posted the same comment, explaining in detail why you can't have a Z-28 combined with a SS package. The Rally Sport was a trim package, and it could be ordered on any Camaro, even the famed ZL-1.
The SS came with either a 350 or a 396, but never the 302. That came only in the Z-28.
Thanks for pointing this out so I didn't have to ! Rally Sport is an appearance package and there never was a Z28/Super Sport Camaro.
Also the SS package order code was Z-27.
yup...correct....nice call....
Those DZ 302 motors were very stout awesome video as always brother👌
The same color as my 69 Z/28, Marina blue with the same color interior, brings back even more wonderful memories. I bought it at Applegate Chevrolet in Flint, Michigan in 1969. Mine didn't have the SS package, it was just the RS complete with 3.73 gear and a 4 spd trans. I was a 20 year old kid who thought he had all the time in the world and was 10 feet tall and bullet proof, lol. What a car!
Awesome story! These will always be cool imo
Not lemans blue?
@@jakefriesenjake ,
I'll never forget the build sheet on the window, wish I still had it, the sheet and the car, lol. BTW, yes, it was Marina Blue.
Killer machine
Seriously cool old school Z28
Excellent one of the best !
Truly is
great looking car Shawn. Love the year and color. Stay Gold..Peace
Thanks and I agree. Such a beautiful time capsule that gets driven like it’s supposed to
Now that's the way to drive a car!! Not afraid to "abuse" it! Hell of a driver. 🇺🇸👍
Great!! Thats why they made them!! Awesome
Such a sweet sound!!!
True classic
Both the car and Tomy 👊
This is awesome
Tommy is a driver, driver.
fun fact: for 69, the Camaro was also available with a double plated clutch and rear disk brakes, very rare options
And, two 4 bbl carbs. They were rated @ 290 horsepower, but actually produce around 360-370 hp.
With stock exhaust manifolds it was low numbers but in the trunk were special made long tubes supplied by Chevy just for that car that one thing alone brought the horsepower up considerably then of course some work to the distributor. Was in order get the advance to come in right and to max stock distributors never came all in to 36 or whatever the engine really.likes some that I fooled.w back in the day would give me 30 and that was a good one I would not even run a vacuum advance on that motor it would only.make it do weird shit and detonate at cruising speeds maybe an adjustable one to limit the amount of advance you wanted but a stock one would just drive you nuts especially the way the factory wants us to believe. They should. Be hooked up to.ported vacuum so your cruising along advanced nice you found the sweet spot downshift and floor it you loose vacuum so that sweet spot is gone now you see what im saying it's why people lock everything. Out at full advance.otherwise you go out.of your. Mind trying. To tune it for max power w no detonation
This car has so much life in it and so many story’s to tell amazing machine I have a tough 66 mustang and it drives hard every weekday and some u know the saying if u don’t use it u looooz it. 😎
Agreed! Would love to hear this one tell stories. They’re built to drive not to polish and sit in a garage
Drissi is the man!
It's Amazing video.. congratulations!!!!
Thank you! 👊
What a beauty!!!!!!😍
Wow.. One of the best..
Agreed and his driving is badass too
I think this is one of my favorite episode... That dude is got to be the coolest Driver ever... lol
He loves to throw down. And races in the modern Trans Am series in a modern Camaro. He’s a badass!
The good old days. My brother had a 69 Z28 rs with the same color combination except his didn't have the enduro bumper or rose wood steering wheel. He drove it the same way, the way they were ment to be driven. Fun, fun, fun!
I love that Tomy drives his cars and has fun with them
SICK!
Completely badass old school cool
That's a very nice ride all original👍
It’s such a beautiful classic
Absolutely beautiful.
Truly is and I love that he drives it
TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO!!👍👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Thank you!! 👊
damn thats a cool camaro that car should be driven always nad ass ride and video man👏
Thanks and he always drives his cars which I love!
