I love the original was able to drive it. What a classy move.
Beautiful 1969 Z/28 with the super rare 4 wheel disc brake option and probably just as rare the medium green standard interior 💪👍🔥 !
That is a great looking car and the fact that it's a rare variant is even better.
Beautiful restoration no doubt! I'm glad that there's people who have the money to collect these cars but I've gotta drive mine! It would be too tempting to drive that car if I owned it!
I was thinking the same thing.
I was taken aback at the news in the video that this green on green Z was passed over at auctions due to the color combo. Surely by now those individuals are kicking themselves. This car is superb in green.
I want to cry, I once owned a 69 Z!
See the old boy behind the wheel a real tearjerker
AWESOME STORY IN THE PROCESS OF RESTORATION OF MY 1991 OBS SHORT BED ON SPEEDSHACK CZcams
Really cool story and great job of preserving it’s history!
I about fell out of my chair when I watched this video because I also owned a 69 Z28 in these exact colors! I had mine in the early 2000’s, didn’t own it very long because after buying it I decided I didn’t like the color combo and wanted to change it to a white interior but all my car buddies told me it was so unusual that it would be a crime to change the colors.
The one I had had set in the back of a machine shop in SoCal for decades and was discovered by a local Camaro nut. Anyway don’t mean to ramble on but just thought it was a great video on such a rare car and the importance that was put on the color combination. Btw I do have pictures of the one I had.
Very cool! Glad you liked the project.
Great story. Very well done !
Mr Boyette sure seems like a great guy
Great job on the restoration and telling the story of an amazing Camaro
you gave bob a gift of a lifetime!
fantastic someone in gaffney had one just like that ihad a 68 396 camaro those were the days
At the end of the video you can see the true joy in the driver.
very very beautiful story and presentation. very very nice take on this restored car.
I'm doing the same thing with the original owners of a real 1973 Pro Stock Vega Body in White I bought 5 years ago. I took it back to Illinois and met with the first 4 owners. Have lots of pictures and documentation on the car. Was a great trip and I would love to do it again when it's finished. But take it to the track it raced at the most. Union Grove Wisconsin
I enjoyed this video thank you for sharing you have a Beautiful Gem there👍👍👍💪💪
Loved this more content just like it please
If I remember right the 4 wheel disk brake cars had 1-5/8 rear axle diameter instead of 1-3/8 diameter axles for Trans Am racing.
What a great Story. Really enjoyed it. Thank you!
GREAT💪CAMARO💪AND THAT COLOR WAS ON THE 1970-72 MALIBU SEDAN,
❤️STAYBLESSED🙏GLAD HE DROVE IT AGAIN🤝THANK U
4BEING SO✍️KIND❤🤗
Beautiful restoration 💪🔥👍, that JL8 option was very rare. Personally I never cared for the lite green interior I always preferred the midnight green interior with green exterior Frost green and Forest green, white interior looked great with Rally green exterior .
Had a 72 Olds 442 with green interior
😎😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Awesome video 📹 👏 👌 👍
what a beautifule body-style.
👍👍 glad I clicked on this video
I own a 69 RS/SS 350. Installed is the heavy duty service unit rear end that was over the counter with 3.73 gears. Not as rare as a true JL8 car but I did put JL8 as part of my license plate.
As a former owner of a 1967 Camaro RS, with a modified 327/4-spd, I can relate to the top speed he mentioned. I did 141 mph (1x). I really could have used 4-wheel disc brakes…
Makes me wonder if my 69 Nova is still on the road. I had to leave it in Minot, ND back in 84-85 because as a poor Airman I couldn't afford to keep fixing everything.
All you had to do is truck it out, 12" disc on the front 11" drums on the back. It's an old school trick back in the day and work just as good. Plus you didn't have all the problems with parking brakes associated with rear disc brakes.
Great story and presentation. Can you share the restorers contact information?
I have a 69 z28 black with white stripes 50,000 original miles
Somehow I don’t think this car looked that good when it was brand new. Beautiful work and beautiful car. That’s coming from a Ford guy.
I truly hope Mr. Boyette still owns the car.
Did you even watch the entire video ? He hasn't owned it in 4 decades.
Have this exact car in Die Cast 1/18 , Highway 61. 3:73 would Not be my choice to do a 145mph. run would feel more comfortable with 3:31, 3:55.
Too bad he didn’t order the RS option. My 68 Z/28 I purchased in ‘74 was the same color and a friend of mine owns it today. But I still own my 70 Z/28 that I bought off the original owner back in 1981.
Great story. But I have my doubts if current owner has plans on keeping it that long. With the documentation this car has, he knows it's worth big bucks. This video and the owners signature verifying it were not made just because he is "interested" in the car, he knows what he is doing. Time will tell if he still owns it in 2037. That is only 15 years away. But I predict it will be sold by than.
I gave away a 1968 Camaro R/S. Blue with black vinal top and black vinal interior. It was a V8, power glide which is why I lost interest. I traded this car for a quarter panel restoration on a Buick convert able. I'm glad it went to a good kid because with my luck it was a 327 with 360 HP. This car would not start. After a battery and starter install, I think it had a cracked bell housing or torque convertor. To this day I kick myself for not restoring this car. I'm glad I have a Corvette C4 today to make compensation.
Needs power steering.
It needs a big block for the street. The small 302 hasn't enough torque.
Light green interior was “rare” because it was ugly and no one wanted it. 😂
Paint isn't correct
Bold comment followed by zero explanation. Would love to hear your proof.
F UGLY and its a Z28 with a vinyl top? Ok this must have beem the last Z ever made and Chevy said who cares get it out.
Sell it back to him, cheap
This guy should get hit a another z28 if I had that kind of money I’d get him a one
