1980 Camaro Z28: Parked for 22 YEARS! Will it Run & Drive Home?

- It's been quite a while since we've did a "Will it Run and Drive Home" video; and after our last failed attempt with the Pontiac Trans Am we decided to give this 1980 Camaro Z28 a chance to make it home under its own power. This car has been sitting parked for over 22 years collecting dust, it's time to knock the cobwebs off and bring it back to life again!
Update: Car has sold.

I have driven past that car hundreds of times to and from work. Glad you guys have it. Keep the fun ones coming.
Thanks! That’s really cool you are local! We ended up with a few other cars from that collection as well, we will have those videos up at some point.
This was my uncles car! So happy to see some life given back to it 🙏🏻
That's really cool, we are glad we were able to get it back going again.
Early and late second gen Camaros are my favorite. Used to own a cherry '81, maroon with gold stripes but sold it to buy a house 25 years ago. Glad you guys are bringing it back to life!
Thank you! I bet that was a beautiful car!
I just buying an 79-80 trans am . All apart . White with blue bird . Love seeing these cars come back.
That’s awesome! Sweet color combination as well!
@@ResurrectedGarage yes . And my 1983 1 owner 1st car Monte Carlo SS. Is white and the blue too😊
My favorite color combo on my favorite Camaro. 80-81 are my favorite. As you can see by my profile picture, i have a white with blue stripes 80 Z28 that we bought in 94 and have owned since. Its my baby, so when i saw this video pop up i got super excited.
Thanks for watching! That’s a very clean car! Love it!
I used to own a 1980 Z28 in high school. It was built! I loved that car and miss it to this day! Some fat bastard coming out of a buffet in Spokane side swiped me totalling the car. I kept it for years in a garage and finally had to sell it when I bought my lake home at 26. I miss that car so much!
Super cool! That's a bummer the car got totaled!
Maybe buy a replacement one and relive your youth. They're plenty still out there.
Glad this car didn’t fight you every step of the way. This one might make a good starter vehicle for someone.
We were very happy this one just worked out like it did. Yes it would!
I do body and paint work. I would put back the same colors and same color z28 decals back on it. Thing was sick back in the day
Yes! We love the white/blue color combination.
Junk back in the day
Your junk back in the day@@Pinkielover
@@ResurrectedGarageI have a 1980 Z28 with T-Tops too. Mine is blue on blue with the same color interior. I’m going to paint mine white and put the blue stripes back on it too.
Watching these vids makes me really miss mine. I absolutely loved driving mine. Ahh, the 80's.
Thanks for watching!
That is one sweet ride! Always loved the look of radial wheels on these camaros it’s too bad about the rust.
Thanks!
glad to see another 2nd gen saved!
Thanks!
Well done well worth saving, engine sounded great, cheers 🥂
Thank you!
New paint job and graphics,new floor pan,new t-top seals, chrome those rims,new floor carpet, clean the rest.
I love will it run videos especially of old camaros. I now have a 86 camaro z28 305 tpi that is in the shop getting swapped to a carburetor. I can't wait to get it back from the shop.
Thanks! That's awesome! We prefer carbs as well!
I had to change my fuel pump at work and used a parts store refurbished pump. The next week it blew the seal that it crimped into the body of the pump and siphoned the gas tank that was full. Luckily someone in the parking lot had a pair of vice grip they loaned me to get the line pinched off. Went with a new AC delco after that. Net time it will be an Edelbrock upgrade.
Unfortunately it seems to take 2-3 parts store pumps to get a good one these days.
Always liked those cars.
Sweet! You can find us on FB/IG or email resurrectedgarage@gmail
I'd kill for this car but I don't have the money to buy anything or to get it here to Jersey. Life's been tough lately lol
Great video, keep up the good work. This car seems to be saveable.
👍
Cheers from Bavaria...
Wow! Thank you for watching!
I can't wait till you're finished. I have a restored 1980 Camaro Z28. I would love to send pictures.
Thanks! That's sweet!!
I am restoring my 1980 Z28 now and I have a private Facebook group exclusively for 78-81 Camaro restorers. We have 179 Camaro owners/lovers so far with lots of active projects going on. I’d love to have you join and show us! 😊
@@ResurrectedGarageI’ve got a private group dedicated to the 78-81 Camaros. We’ve got 179 Camaro owners/restorers that would be happy to give you tips and advice if you want to try restoring it.
Such a beautiful car. That has been my all time favorite car since childhood. ☺️
I hope you do another video on your progress.
Exactly my first car! The smogged 350 was short on horsepower but torque made it fun. Lots of good memories hunting the junkyards with my dad for parts to fix it up. Great video and happy to be a new subscriber!
That's really cool! Daniel has been tuning on it to give it a little more power, it felt really bogged down and after making some quick adjustments it's better than it was. Thank you!
I was watching CW Customs and Hannah was wearing a t-shirt that looked cool so i googled Resurrected Garage and ended up here and it's a simple as that you have a new subscriber now. 🏁
That's really cool! Thanks! There's a few of our videos over the years that have CWC in them.
Road trip too Wal-Mart for some 1500 grit sandpaper and a case of white krylon spray paint if your on a budget !
Ah nice car, and in Banks County! I'm in Barrow, and I got my 79 Camaro from Cumming, GA last November! Nice to see some car revivals so close.
Thank you! Sweet, it’s always neat to come across local people! We are having a Car Show October 19, 10a-2pm at the Jefferson Civic Center if you are interested.
Wow this was my third cousins car omg 😮😮😮
Sweet! Thanks for watching!
I want to restore a Z28 in similar shape parked for 30 years. Motor said to be blown. loved the video. May need donor car, also I live in the rust belt. great content!
Go for it! Thank you!
The ole flexy flyer. Those Camaros were slinky toys.
Oh WOW you had a set of N90 rims that would have been a stock option on that car. Love It!!
Thanks!
Ok, you guys redeemed yourselves. That front window cleaned up nicely. That car is like that Comic character with two faces, good and ugly!
Its suprising how quiet that engine is after sitting that long
Yes it is!
Good evening Daniel and Brittany, Been watching you grow this Channel for a very long time. Please do this car right with your combined skills. Make it part of the Resurrected Garage family of vehicles. God Bless Y’all!!! Date night and Car Show cruiser!!
Thank you!!
HERMOSO VIDEO DEL GRAN CAMARO Z28 ..TUVE UNO A LOS 24 AÑOS ...LO VENDI 5 AÑOS DESPUES SIN SABER LA.JOYA QUE PERDÍ.....HASTA AHORA LO RECUERDO EN MIS MEJORES PENSAMIENTOS...SALIDOS DESDE PERÚ 🇵🇪❤
That thing looks ready to go car camping in. When I did mine for the Power Tour, I put some Bilstein B6's on it all around, and it got me through the Tail of the Dragon and was still comfortable. WIX Fuel Filter - 33482 off of an 1984 Corvette is a great in-line filter that I'd highly recommend. I've also heard the 1981 Brake Booster and Master Cylinder is an improvement to the older ones, might want to look into that if you end up putting more time into it. Another thing I would do is inspect that driver side seat rail, the driver's seat will throw you out of the car while you're driving. Also double check that lower grill, they fall off easily and are near impossible to replace. You'd probably have a lot of luck selling it on NastyZ28, the 2nd gen forums.
We remember a guy we met in the Planet Fitness parking lot during Power Tour that was in a Camaro that did that; not sure if that was you we talked to or not. The seat rails in this one are roasted and need to be replaced. We may look into the brake booster/master cyl deal, this one doesn't work. Thanks for all the info!
Still have my 1980 Black with red 3tone stripe TTop Z28. Bought in High School in 88'. Son graduates next year. He gets it next.
Awesome color combination!
I appreciate the scripture 🙏
Good to see some believers
Thank you!
The seatbelt may be loose when harnessed bc that was an option and 1981 was the last year for that option. Meaning, when harnessed you could double pull the seatbelt and it would lock in place with slack in the seatbelt.
We will try that and see what happens.
That’s a nice rims. They came on the 80s that rim I used to have it on my Camaro. I love that rim so keep them rims on the car. It looks good rims are the best I had to set on my 86 Camaro I bought and I love the rims and make the car look
Thank you!
You said that the oil looks majestic
Cool bodystyle of camero.cool you got it running and driving. Cant wait to see what you do with it.
Thanks!
Your welcome
Forgot masking tape and newspaper you may have at home too cover up the blue stripes you don't want white ! It will come out better than you think !
Victor from Palmdale ca aka California Smoke.
Thanks!
Some other tools I bring are a leaf blower and a mini pressure washer. I can't stand working on old dirt. Now wash that windshield!😂
Both of those would be nice additions!
What a great looking hood, Hope you can use that!
Thanks!
Love them 80s camaros mostly with them louvers on the back windows and it's a added bonus it having Ttops
Yes!! We do have the full louvers, they were in the back of the car.
@ResurrectedGarage yeah I thought I seen them back there
Man, I miss my '81 Camaro!!
Great fun Great car and you guys are GREAT! Isn't that G.....Grand?? LOL. Hey I notice that as I check out some of your older vids (I enjoy them thank you!) That many times a car gets pulled out or made to run etc then we never see the car again. I understand that you definitely can't keep most of them but I just wish we knew a bit more sometimes as to "What happened to the Fairmont or the Gremlin etc. (I'm just throwing the names of cars I noticed in the video choices I really am not trying to find out about those models in particular). Thanks again.
Thank you!! That is a good point that we should give an update on them. We have a "build/YT row" at the shop that has a handful of vehicles we've kept that we want to do more with (Blue RR, Mercedes 450SLC, Valiant, Pontiac Firebird). Then we have our personal fleet of "daily drivers" (Shop Truck, Rambler, IHC, Saab, GMC Van, etc). Some of the others ended up being sold before we did anything else to them. Sometimes we just pick up vehicles when we see them within our budget and if we get something better months down the road we will sell some of the vehicles we aren't as fond of to put the money into the builds we are more excited about. Between the two of us we have close to 60 vehicles.
Great Video
Thanks!
Check the spring pockets in front of the back tires, these cars rust out there just about always. Cool car
Thanks
I wanna take my Camaro 600 mile road trip what would be recommended to do before that what should I bring for emergencies?
Thank you for watching!
had one 1984 love this
Thanks you!
Just found your channel and noticed the license plate, we’re in Wayne county 😎 subscribed 👍
Thank you and welcome!
Did yall do anymore videos of this car? I would love to have it!
This was the last video we did on it, we listed it for sale and it sold in a few days.
Kind of sleepy this morning. Did you use an adapter kit on those wagon wheels?
The wheels we put on were Monte Carlo wheels, they bolted right on.
Awesome, thank you and God bless.
Thank you too!
Probably should pump the gas petal to get gas though the lines before starting the engine
Just found you today! Enjoyed the video! :)
Thanks!
Very good job
Thank you!
Good luck to you both.
Thank you!
Nice ev n hot the 1986 monte Carlo SS mags on it
Very nice job guys
Thank you
i love this car!!
Thank you!
How much did you give for this car
maaaaan you didnt even check ATF and steering fluid befor you start the car.
just after you found out the engine is not locked up change the oil for gods sake, everytime you crank it with old expired and black oil you are cracking a crank shaft bearings.
You even reeeev it up!!!... i cant belive it man!!
next time pull out coil plug after using fresh oil and fuel crank it to turn the oil pump to build up some pressure and lub everything.
2 pairs of vice grips and a battery wish I was that lucky😂
How much?
Hey what's that contact information for that Astro van from the owner of your z28????
Send us an email and we will get that to you. resurrectedgarage@gmail
this is from a "extreme non driver"if for ex u brought this very car back to life" even though its several years old and has extreme alot of miles on it, one how long would lt last once again, two would you buy this car do the usual usual stuff like tires etc , i may change my answer depending what the total of people say about it. i dont know anythng about upkeep of a car.
Our 1977 F150 Shop truck we’ve had since we were 15 years old and did a similar resurrection on; we are 31 now and still using the truck. We’ve put a lot of hard miles on it going to shows and delivering cars cross country. For us it’s keeping up with the maintenance and staying on top of issues as they arise instead of letting them go. We did a 64 Rambler a few months back that we got running and drove it home three hours from a show. Daniel is very in tune to what vehicles are doing and fixing the problems. We’ve had better luck with our old vehicles than anything new. That’s why most of our personal vehicles are all old. We work on newer customer vehicles during the day and see too many vehicles failing with major problems before reaching 100k.
Hi-vis green or orange
Those would be fun color combinations!
@@ResurrectedGarage I would buy 2 (1-of-each) if y’all had those colors. Most pep that watch(men/women) are more than likely, not all, “out in the field” and need Hi-vis or const. colors so they DONT have to wear a VEST. They can just put on the shirt AND GET TO WORK
@@CourtJ_ml9to that does make sense me also😎👍
i know that car its been in my family for a long time you picked it up at my uncles house
That's cool!
🤔 not sure who Eddie is but this was my Uncle Jerry’s. This was at my grandparents house
@@KGrindle97 was my uncle too
jerry was my cousin
How much did you pay for it?
Hi what would you happen to wont for this one
Shoot us an email
my Aunt had this exact same car.......
Link for your tshirt please! 🙂

Good parts car
We drove it around for a few weeks until it sold. The person that bought it is going to do the body work and get that sorted.
How much for it
This one sold a few weeks ago.
I have a black 1988 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z 5.7 with 59k original miles...I need a paint job 😢
Wow! Super cool!
500 hundred dollars for it I will give yal two ❤❤❤❤❤
In about 80 years these videos will mostly people reviving old electric cars. "will this Tesla run after sitting for 50 years?
We've thought about that before as well!
I'd love to have one of these to teach my boys to work on real cars but in my area all I find are over priced junk. It's a shame that basket basket case cars have gone up so high
Yes the market is all over the place where we are as well. We find vehicles through marketplace but some of the better vehicles are through word of mouth or just out riding looking for vehicles in the fields/barns/woods etc
@@ResurrectedGarage I hear you. It's a shame the average car people have been completely priced out of the hobby. In SWVA there are some cars you find from time to time but people think their rusted, no engine mid 80s car is worth $5k 😂
I remember when I could buy a perfect late 70s Z28 for $2500 all day long. 😔
I just seen that you are in GA what part I have relatives in south around Waycross
We are in Commerce, GA
@@ResurrectedGarage
I'd like to see some of your inventory
I really like the Z28
It’s nice
Thanks!
How much for z28
This one sold a few weeks ago.
I don't think I ever seen a white with blue letters & pin stripe
It's an interesting color combo for sure!
It’s got some weight reduction
Yes!
great
Thank you!
This is a sin to let a car like that sit in the dirt!
This one was stored better than most of the vehicles we pick up - in the woods or in the junkyards tangled up with trees is how we usually find them.
You don’t know what happened in my dad or uncles life that left this car get into this condition. We have had Lots of hardship. And the important thing is that the love is now going to be put into it by Resurrection Garage! 🤍
cool, can i do it
T TOP FUN!
Yes!!
Try to scribe, but I’m gonna have to wait puppy until tomorrow because I scribe too much today so I get with you scribe tomorrow I had to checkmark but the scribe won’t let me do anymore today so I’ll see you
Thank you for watching!
why you guys go to wash cars ? clean it in the house and you can buy a new paint to her
Our pressure washer is broken at the moment and we haven't had the extra money to put into getting another. This was only the second car we've taken to the car wash, the red Pontiac Firebird was the other.
Love the car but not a fan of how u record it at all. It's horrible recording this video 😮
We’ve came a long way since our first videos several years ago. As time has went on and our filming equipment has improved we have been able to produce better videos.
Looks like an Ohio Car -LOL!!!
Абсолютно не профессиональная работа ,! Сначала необходимо все промыть, прочистить , мотор смазать, поменять масло , прочистить топливную систему, прокрутить мотор вхолостую , а потом уже только запустить .😮😮😮👉👉👉🚙🚙🚙👉👉👉
It needs a. Paint job
We usually leave that for the next owner to take care of, it is a slight bummer the passenger fender and door are in primer.
Sean serios con los videos
👍😜🇮🇪
Thanks!
How to do everything wrong and still get it to run decently 😂. Of course take out t top cause more important to look cool rather than clean a back window which if I was a cop would pull u over in second for that. No reason to be stupid and not one plug removed and u can hear it 😂
Camera 📸 girl is awful 😢. BIG time.....😮
She needs to be silent and focus on recording only. We don't want to see or hear anything from the camera 📸 person at ALL..... ever!!!
We are a husband and wife team; we work together on the builds for the channel as well as off camera. There are many channels that the person filming has multiple roles and that’s what makes each channel unique.
Let’s see so far you have done everything wrong.
There are many people that don't like the way we do things and we never claim to do them the correct way. Our objective was to get the car to run and get it to drive home, we accomplished that.
This is a boring video!
We were happy that we were able to get the car running then drive it home. We tried to get different camera POV's to make it more interesting.
Most people that have a brain will turn engine over by hand before tearing up a starter or flywheel!
The starter on this one was incorrect and was barely touching the flywheel. Installed the later style gear reduction starter and now it starts great.
How Much ?
