Crossfire was also known as Ceasefire back in the day. From what i remember( i used to be huge in to 3rd gens) the crossfire had lots of issues and some were converted back to carb. Also, the camaro didn't get the L98 (350 Tuned Port) until 1987. Before that the top dog was the 305 Z28.
@@Adrian-mq5ld Honestly man i can't say but i would think it probably gained a little and DEFINITELY helped drivability and reliability. The 84 Corvette's 350 also had crossfire and suffered with the same issues. TPI solved those issues when it debuted in the 85 vettes. The camaro also got TPI 305s that year.
Randy this car is begging to be brought back to life! A Holly EFI fuel system like JR and Fractured Rooster use. Then just murder it all out flat black with tint. This bad boy Camaro would be a sic asf. Lucky wheels and Deals might be interested but this thing deserves to be saved.
Love them camaro's. I had a 1987 Camaro Iroc Z28 with a 5.0 3 years ago. Now I upgraded to a 1990 Iroc Z 5.7L G92 Performance & last year for the Iroc... I love it. They make great cars.
My dad had a 1982 Trans Am with the Crossfire 305 in it back in the day while in the Air Force in the early 1990s. It was completely built and the previous owner my dad bought it from had tickets from the track for 180mph+.
Nice find. '82 Z-28 with the crap fire injection. Had one exactly like that as my first car back in 1987. Bought it used for $6K. Had the typical problems that one had. High idling (vacuum leaks, IAC motors that never worked right), TPS that was always mis-calibrated, leaky hood flaps that caused hydro-lock & broken starters because of it. Mine had the black pleather interior instead of the cloth. Went through two sets of t-tops, two short blocks, transmission mounts, transmissions, driveshaft u-joint that failed. Rust galore. But I shined the shit outta mine every day I had it. Finally let it go in 1996 or so.
My 1st car was a 1982 Z28 Crossfire injection Camero with T Tops! I use to race that car EVERY chance I got! It was the BIGGEST gas guzzler I EVERY had. I remember 1 time I was on the interstate at around 3am in the morning and I STOMPED down on the gas and I LITERALLY watched the gas needle DROP!!! No shit ! it was drinking THAT MUCH gas! Good find Randy my man ! 😀
I've always had a soft spot for the DTS. The older Deville's were bad with the head gasket issues but they actually improved it with the DTS. It can happen but it's not as common as the older ones.
You need to read up some on the 80's cars. In '82 the crossfire was only offered in the Camaro Z28 package and it was automatic only. It was actually considered to be the top engine choice. There was no 350 available in 1982 Camaros. Love you channel, keep the videos coming.
I got the 82 Camaro crossfire sitting around . It's a little rough but slowly trying to fix it up . I thought it was interesting as a sort of rarity and a classic, as it was the first year of the third gen model. the 305 was the largest engine offered in that year for it
I had 88 Chevy Camaro IROC automatic what overdrive like I said I found it in a garage had a smashed front end only had 88,000 miles on it and it wasn't back in 2003 when I found it I put a new front end on it somebody wanted it I sold it to him but that black car won't be hard to put that car back together but you are right what I mean if you're in New York it wouldn't bother anybody would be a fun project to put back together thank you for the good video contact it was enjoyable like always thank you for taking your time to show us these cars cuz this ideas hope you have a good week
I agree with you , Randy , those starters were a lot of " fun " to replace on the Northstar ( replaced one on a 97 ) , I do believe gm redid the head bolts after 2004 ( they went with longer head bolts and coarser thread )
As someone who has had about a dozen 3rd gen Camaros and Firebirds and so want to have another, I would definitely take this one on, especially for $600. This one is in pretty decent shape compared to the hack jobs for sale in Georgia for 4-5 times that price. People here want $2k for totally trashed interior and no drivetrain.
Randy!!! This is a 1982 Chevy Camaro Z28. From 1982 - 1986 was 5.0 liter. This is my childhood car from this era. This car is worth restoring. Horsepower is 180hp. RANDY PLEASE BUY THIS Z28 AND KEEP IT!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
I had the same crossfire V8 in my 1983 Pontiac trans am. The Camaro and the trans am both had the 305. And no one had the 5.7....the Corvette had skipped a year.
Dreading the day when older cars are going to be ridiculous to find . Even ones like these just something about them that I love don't really care for many of the new ones. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts
I lost the corvette today and began to reconsider the camaro. I know I told you I wasn't going to bid, but man, I am so glad I saw this video before making a huge mistake! Thank you Randy!
Love your channel and watch you almost everyday. The $600 cars/vehicles like the Camaro are what made your channel. Would love to see you do another budget rebuild like in the past. I support you either way brother and please know I love all you do. Always look forward to your new post.
Randy this car is begging to be brought back to life! A Holly EFI fuel system like JR and Fractured Rooster use. Then just murder it all out flat black with tint. This bad boy Camaro would be a sic asf. Lucky wheels and Deals might be interested but this thing deserves to be saved.
the window lock only disables the other 3 window switches; the DDSA (Driver Door Switch Assembly) is supposed to have power at all times while the key is either in accessory, ignition on, or in RAP (Retained Accessory Power) mode. the fact that the other three windows did nothing when Randy was attempting to use the Driver Switches tells me that there's something physically wrong with the regulator assemblies or the motors in the passenger doors.
The engine I trust in the Camaro is the 5.7 the Cadillac can be saved replace the window motor's a battery that key fob just needs a new battery most likely fix the tires put in paint job it would look decent idk how much u want to put in the car if u get it just my thoughts as always good video
My dad and I both had brand new 82 z-28’s both POS, the Air cleaner allowed water through the hood flaps causing hydraulic lock up. We drove with duct tape on our hoods until the redesigned the air cleaner, the roof leaked the trans mount went at 20,000 miles got rid of it at 23,000 got smoked regularly by mustangs. Paid 13,7000 brand new lol
In Canada B.C. I had a white 97 Deville also with the north star engine, i only had it a few years, until 2016 but in the time i had it, the motor never gave me any trouble, I drove my elderly dad in it after he could no longer drive but he enjoyed the ride very much until his passing, after dad was gone, I wanted to keep it, but Cadillac parts are expensive and with sky rocking gas prices and limited resources i was forced to down grade to somthing more economical.
The local LKQ close to my house here in Houston Texas had one that was smashed in the rear end that still had a great front clip that was still all original even the crossfire injection sent up with hood last weekend it was red in color but it was all their.
The DTS triumph them all...a good passage through times...for USD 650.....it's a solid runner. Randy ...just looks at the auction....you may get lucky...regards from Malaysia
Randy, I bought my F350 from a buddy's dad's estate for maybe 1/2 book. It is from "Cattle country" in Oregon, so it has a huge Warn bumper & winch on it. I laughed about it originally, because in my neighborhood it makes me the "Redneck by proxy." I quit laughing the first time a deer decided to jump out in front of "Fordinand" in the Duke Forest. No damage. 2nd time? A pair jumped out and the bumper pushed them down & under the axles...no damage
It is a Z28 with Crossfire engine, unless someone cloned a Z28. It would be worth fixing, the 3rd gen values are there for a good one, this car has a lot of original equipment there. The left side that is crushed, if I recall, the charcoal canister is there and probably the vacuum leak causing the high idle.
@Autoauctionrebuilds , i love the Chevy Camaro Crossfire v8 , who would want a car like that . Its simple I would . I saw a Gas monkey garage video the other day & they had a Chevy Camaro Crossfire V8 in it in he same colour shame you couldn't get hold of that car & make a decent working 1 out of both & use the rest for spares
That camaro still seems like a decent car for what ever issues it has,, I personally can't find any shop were I live that'll do a paint job unless it's thru insurance, but for that camaro really to only need a front clip including hood then I'd likely just paint them w black enamel and just use the car 4 what it is, decent potential
that DTS could be an excellent flip car; but not only are the cats missing on it, the plastic piece that covers up the area between the grille and radiator support (GM calls it a "Sight Shield") is missing, and joy of joys, its been discontinued!
I'd totally do the Cadillac. Wasn't the Northstar head bolt thing sorted by 2008? I seem to remember that being the case. She has a bent rim on the right front too, it looks like.
1982 with Cross Fire is a Z28 by default, fenders,front and hood can be found at classic industries, it is a 5.0 lts, only automatic, is a mechanical fuel pump, no fuel tank pump yet, basically can be repaired. Sounds Ok to me.
That Deville had prior accident damage I think. Look at how the driver's door is buckled where it meets the front fender. Also those front wheels are bent. They ran over something, decided to take the cats off and sell it.
Can't believe it still runs...wonder if it had the fiberglass hood?? Edit: It does have the fiberglass hood, I could tell when he closed it. Very cool.
I knew that was a Z the minute I saw it the minute you showed it off them. I knew it was a Z and I knew it crossfire came out and that year so it’s a beautiful car and it could be fixed up somebody to fix it up, not me but somebody else can.
DTS is a fine luxury automobile, but I prefer the Buick Lucerne, built on the same platform and in the same plant. I have altered two Buick Lucernes (2007 CXS and 2008 Super) into Wildcats, with emblems from 1964.
Crossfire was also known as Ceasefire back in the day. From what i remember( i used to be huge in to 3rd gens) the crossfire had lots of issues and some were converted back to carb. Also, the camaro didn't get the L98 (350 Tuned Port) until 1987. Before that the top dog was the 305 Z28.
do you know how much hp it would have had after changing to carb? I'm curious how much it influenced their experiment back then lol

Your videos have inspired me so much so that I found a Copart lot here in Baltimore. Looking forward to my first visit.
I've always had a soft spot for the DTS. The older Deville's were bad with the head gasket issues but they actually improved it with the DTS. It can happen but it's not as common as the older ones.
Man I love Driving my DTS it's one of the cleanest in Chicago so I get a lot of compliments in the streets that so many of them were run down by now
@@irishuwould5185 Yea, I mentioned they still had some issues but weren't as bad or bad like the 05 and under.

1969 Chevelle SS 396...ANY thing on this gem, would be a real treat....We're waiting patiently,Randy..Thanks,man..
Yeah, like someone else commented, the earlier Z28's had just the 305. I had an 84 Z28 with the 305 and a four barrel carb.

I had an 86 Berlinetta except mine was an automatic with a 305. Was very nicely equipped. Radio was mounted on a pedestal in front of the gear shift.
A Sling Blade reference Randy! Awesome buddy. 🤣

PLEASE
PLEASE
PLEASE
165 HP in 82' with Crossfire.145 HP with carb.

Them Camaros take me back to my childhood big time. Pretty much every male in my family owned one back then
Italian by any chance Craig? Lol 😆 they were an OK looking car in there day, just not a real performer until later on in her production run.
The 1982 to 1992 3rd gen Camaro is my dream car
I had a 91z28, convertible, I love theses ol' school Camaros.
I lost the corvette today and began to reconsider the camaro. I know I told you I wasn't going to bid, but man, I am so glad I saw this video before making a huge mistake! Thank you Randy!

Randy this car is begging to be brought back to life! A Holly EFI fuel system like JR and Fractured Rooster use. Then just murder it all out flat black with tint. This bad boy Camaro would be a sic asf. Lucky wheels and Deals might be interested but this thing deserves to be saved.
Hey Randy, the Northstar was fixed in 2004 and up. Thank you for showing her! Hope to see more.
in 82 the cross fire induction was only on the Z-28 and the 350 was not available till 87.
Hey Randy always great to see you back! Go for it on that Cadillac! Good luck at $650 out the door how can you go wrong buddy!
Yea but the northstar engine is the worst engine gm ever made and i wouldn’t spend more then 1000 for a mint car if it had that motor in it
The trunk release is on the dash , left of the steering wheel and right by the light dimmer.
Don’t have to worry about head bolts on a 2008, the issue was corrected by GM for a final time in 2004.
That Cadillac might be an "easy" fix. It's in "good" shape, and runs well
My cousin had an 83 or 84 Z28 with a 5.0 HO engine. Not a screamer but decent for the day.
190 horse back then.
My neighbor has a 2004 Deville with a northstar that has over 250 k miles and its a powerfull engine.
I have a 2014 Nissan frontier and it’s an awesome truck I have over 116,000 miles on it and still haven’t had an issue
the trunk release on that Cadillac is next to the dimmer switch!
I had a 89 firebird formula 350 it was rough when I got it but with a lot of work it and learning it turn out awesome I wish I had a photo of it.
Good Coverage Randy, That ‘08 DTS Is A Nice One For The Money..
In the Cadillac, check that the window lock isn't engaged. That would keep you from being able to test all the other windows.
the window lock only disables the other 3 window switches; the DDSA (Driver Door Switch Assembly) is supposed to have power at all times while the key is either in accessory, ignition on, or in RAP (Retained Accessory Power) mode. the fact that the other three windows did nothing when Randy was attempting to use the Driver Switches tells me that there's something physically wrong with the regulator assemblies or the motors in the passenger doors.
Hello Randy. The 1982 Chevrolet Camaroo is a decent car. The other cars and trucks are decent.
Morning Randy! A car I’d love to see on the channel is another old Mercedes. One from the 80s.
The engine I trust in the Camaro is the 5.7 the Cadillac can be saved replace the window motor's a battery that key fob just needs a new battery most likely fix the tires put in paint job it would look decent idk how much u want to put in the car if u get it just my thoughts as always good video

My buddy in Burns Flat, Oklahoma had the same Z28 in high school. It wouldn't touch my 73 Gran Torino with a 351C.
Randy. That ERS meant a guy could pick up Rock 100.5 in Burns Flat from OKC!

I love them Cadillacs. I think they fixed the headgasket problem by that year . Could be wrong
Love that Camaro man, Nice Caddy Randy
I’d take a chance on that Frontier also for the right price. Looks miles better than the truck I’m driving now!
I’d love to see a 3rd gen camaro on here
The local LKQ close to my house here in Houston Texas had one that was smashed in the rear end that still had a great front clip that was still all original even the crossfire injection sent up with hood last weekend it was red in color but it was all their.
trunk button is right below the headlight switch
i had the same exact car with 450hp 350. man i miss that car it was a head turner when i finished it.
It’s the way you kept passing the trunk button 😂
The DTS triumph them all...a good passage through times...for USD 650.....it's a solid runner. Randy ...just looks at the auction....you may get lucky...regards from Malaysia
RE Frontier, you call it vandalism, I call it X-girl friend. Classic damage pattern.
That Z28 would have been a cool project. Its been Windy in Fl. Lately too.
Buy it, my dad has one and its great not a crosfire but a 87 350 iroc
Randy, I bought my F350 from a buddy's dad's estate for maybe 1/2 book. It is from "Cattle country" in Oregon, so it has a huge Warn bumper & winch on it.

You are thinking of a welder's chipping hammer, with a sharp point on one end, that went after that Nissan pickup!
after 05 headbolt problems were pretty much gone
I love the Caddie hope you get her and get it back on the road.

Trunk button 28:51 under the headlight switch
lol, I had the same Camaro in high school. 87 Camaro 2.8L V6. I thought it was fast too! Haha
Go for the Caddy, Randy!
I heard the crossfire V8'S STUNK. Just like the X braking system of the 90'S for GM. EL STINKO!!!!!!!!!!!
As an American, I know where all the major cities are in Canada, I visited Vancouver as well as Toronto, I know where Quebec is.
My z28 came out with a 305.
Check the glovebox in the cady for the trunk button if not right along the drivers seat
That camaro still seems like a decent car for what ever issues it has,, I personally can't find any shop were I live that'll do a paint job unless it's thru insurance, but for that camaro really to only need a front clip including hood then I'd likely just paint them w black enamel and just use the car 4 what it is, decent potential

...check the glove compartment or the center console for the trunk release.
1982 with Cross Fire is a Z28 by default, fenders,front and hood can be found at classic industries, it is a 5.0 lts, only automatic, is a mechanical fuel pump, no fuel tank pump yet, basically can be repaired. Sounds Ok to me.
The crossfire injected Camaros have an electric fuel pump not a mechanical one. I've had to replace mine before.
i think they had a 5.0 z28 that was california compliant
Hey my friend. Bob from Michigan.
There are window locks on cadys. Buy it, it's a diamond in the ruff
Yay the old intro!!!! Great vid
I like the Caddy 😀
That Deville had prior accident damage I think. Look at how the driver's door is buckled where it meets the front fender. Also those front wheels are bent. They ran over something, decided to take the cats off and sell it.
Definitely love the z. Would like to know what she brings
The 82-83 Z28s had the fiberglass hood from the factory, in 84 they went with steel. So really any 82-83 Z28 will have the same hood.
No headbolt issues with this North Star it's the previous generation from this that had those problems
Love the look of the DTS
If you closed your eyes you'd swear that is Randy Quaid talking!
So beautiful Cadillac
you can get parts for the Camaro at David T's Auto he is in Edmonton in Alberta Canada he deals with firebirds and trans am and camaro
Can't believe it still runs...wonder if it had the fiberglass hood?? Edit: It does have the fiberglass hood, I could tell when he closed it. Very cool.
Frontera shows all the signs of a theft recovery. Driven till it was out of gas then used for target practice with a BB gun.
Randy...was the window lock on I the caddy?
@Autoauctionrebuilds you should get in touch with Gas Monkey Garage about that car
Hi Randy, that was another great video. I like the DTS. it just needs a little work and the price seems reasonable !
Crossfire Injection fuel-injected version with 165 hp and 240 lb-ft.
I knew that was a Z the minute I saw it the minute you showed it off them. I knew it was a Z and I knew it crossfire came out and that year so it’s a beautiful car and it could be fixed up somebody to fix it up, not me but somebody else can.
Thinking that the window lock on the master switch was engaged on the DTS, keeping the passenger windows from opening!!
You are wrong. 82 first year new body style Z28 was only the 5.0 crossfire. The 5.7 crossfire was in the Corvette starting in 81.
I have always wanted that model DTS.
Love 80s chevy Camaro
DTS is a fine luxury automobile, but I prefer the Buick Lucerne, built on the same platform and in the same plant. I have altered two Buick Lucernes (2007 CXS and 2008 Super) into Wildcats, with emblems from 1964.
