I remember when cars with that same look were on the streets everywhere and could be had for cheap.
Ida bought them all if I were to have been around. Hahaha
Yeah I actually had one myself but it was a '77 and still regret selling it to this day.
@@AreaThirteenThirteen sure was cool finding cars for 500.00 to about 1500 that were drivable,when gas hit the magical buck a gallon I personally saw tons of big block cars of all makes going cheap my fist bodyshop boss was a cool ass older guy that said it was just a temporary situation and he bought a boatload of em at our local auction and redid em and had no problem selling them for at the time was “Good Money “ I got to wang on a bunch of em baddest one I drove was a 72 or 73 455 tramsAm four speed,we ran em about 20 or so miles across Pennsylvania turnpike to our local auction many cool days at work for a 17 year old kid indeedy as a I personally was driving my 70 roadrunner 375/440 4 speed to work odd /even plate rationing was not a problem as we had MV plates and got all the gas we wanted at our local Exxon 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Are 1970 Camaro 454 Big block nobody could touch it I was unbeatable I race so many cars I'm lucky I'm alive that 454 it was a beast for speed on the floor bringing back so many memories I erased a guy everybody said he was unbeatable it was a mock one mustang I gave him two car links everybody's like what are you doing there's no way you're going to beat him I smoked him there ain't nothing like big block 454 in a Camaro you guys take care thanks for bringing back the memories
@@traditionovertrend2704 Bought mine late 80s for 1200 daily drove it.
RAdical 327 M22 never understood why guys today are afraid to drive these. what a waste huh?!
Those days were magical and priceless!!
I wish I could have been there!
@@traditionovertrend2704 Me too!! I tend to think about it every now and then.
Reminds me of my father, and his buddies cars when I was growing up. Big engine's, giant rear wheels. Sure miss those day's.
They were the days. For sure.
E60s up front and L50s or N50s out back
That Camaro deserves a restoration. True old school race car.
It'll get one eventually
Im a Firebird guy, but totally respect this Camraro street warrior. You know it's a blast to drive.
Thanks for the memories 👍🏁
Thanks for watching!
I like the "Service Center" decal on the "Rustic" helmet.
The helmet is the same one that's in the photos from the Early 70's. Pretty cool!
I really like seeing all these warriors from the past!
Well stick around! There's more coming!!
Back in the 80s, this kind of ride was everywhere.
Thank you for your video! It was a nice flashback to the good old days. The sound of that engine and the American flag on the car- NICE!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I could help bring back some memories!
Love the pictures from Orange County Int'l Raceway, I was there, probably saw that car run in the brackets. Glad to see it's still around, put some time and money into it to bring it back to how it once looked. I also actually own OCIR's hanging Christmas tree, it's fully restored by me and functional with the Chrondek control box. Best of luck with your project.
MY FRIEND BK N THE DAY BOUGHT NEW 68 Z28 IT WAS BEAUTIFUL I WAS 15 HE TOUGH ME TO DRIVE STICK N IT HOW LUCKY WAS I 👍
Reminds me of my dad's cars when I was a kid
That's awesome! I'm glad we could help bring back some good memories.
My first car I ever rode in as a baby from the hospital was my dads 1970 Chevy Nova. We drove all over in it, but since my car seat didn't fit in the back, my mom had to always sit in the back while I sat in the front in the car seat.
My dad ended up selling it and getting a family car. Years and years later me and my mom tried finding it, had the vin and everything but nothing ever came up. We wanted to try finding it and buying it back for my dad. Since we never could find it I bought my own 1970 Chevy Nova to share with him. Me and him have spent a lot of time together working on it. Great memories have been made the last few years and hopefully years to come yet.
That's such a great story!! Thanks for sharing!!
I'll be posting more content about my 69 Nova here soon! Stay Tuned!!
@@traditionovertrend2704 thank you, will do 👍 👌
One bad Camaro old school!!
Ah Yeah!!!
What a neat car very cool thanks for sharing!!
My best friend had a 67 or 68 with a 396 and a Muncie 4 speed we cruised the streets in back in 1979. That thing would do a burnout two blocks long.. lol Great times
Ah yeah!! Rolling smoke!! Gotta love light cars with lots of torque. Lol.
Nice thank you for sharing this..
Thank you for watching!!!
Pretty cool!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Aaaaand that 's the was back in the day.....when street cruising was the coolest. There were all kinds of combinations of hot rod profiles.....some really clean...some a bit rougher but still good looking....some very eclectic and cool (like this Camaro)...and some that were junkers. But it all made for exciting Friday and Saturday nights! Americana at it's finest. Kids today can't begin to relate, except for some that actually get it.
Lyons has been closed for decades. Love those hood scoops, timeless st race look
FIrst ride was a 67 rs 4 spd bought out of Thousand Oaks, loved that car 1200 bux late 80s
Reminds me of my first 68 396 Camaro. Black with black interior, 4" and 8" Cragar SS. L88 solid lifter cam, 12:1, Edelbrock Tarantula intake, 780 double pumper Holley, Hooker headers, 40lb flywheel, 3400lb Zoom clutch, M20 2.54 Muncie, Hurst Competition Plus, line lock, 12 bolt with Summers Brothers spool and axles and 5.13 Eaton pro gears, multileafs and slapper bars. This was my daily driver, my work car. The parts store/ speed shop I worked at loved it being parked out front drawing business. What a blast for an 18 year old. No, daddy didn't buy it for me. Daddy never bought any of his kids a car. What a blast, never got beat on the street. 1978 Tuscaloosa Alabama.
U don't see cars like this anymore. I remember when I was a kid u will found cars like this in driveways or sitting in the guarge.
The ole school stance is awesome hands down
It definitely sits perfectly.
Reminds me of my brother ernest friends camaro frome the 70s his name was Allen Tribbett his other friends rick diamond bruce they were the north maine street street racers in Riverside California my dad still had his 427 block but the car no one knew were it went
That's wild!
Coolest thing I've seen in a while
Had 6 different Camaros through that era up to the 90's. Two were big block one with a 4 speed, one that I back halved with ladder bars and 14x32 Goodyears on a 9 inch with a blown small block. The blower car was a 67 RS and looked similar to this car except the rear wheel wells were cut out bigger for those 14x32 slicks, it was black and purple and the scoop disappeared when the hood got cut out for the blower. Those were definitely the good old days. 60's Camaros all around for a grand without the engine and trans.
Love the FENTON(?) ANSEN(?) slots!
I believe they're Ansen
That Weiand Exterminator sticker looks exactly like that Socal Pest Extermination company logo 'Western Exterminator' thats still around off the 405 near Wilmington/Old Lyons strip in Carson. That had to be the impetus for Weiand logo!
so cool, man that brings back memories, thanks for a great video
Beautiful as is!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!!
I love it!! Complete with cobwebs!!
Proper!
I had a 67 we put 427 bored .125 crane solid lift cam open chambered heades,,, 4,:88 gears munchy trany, 11:32 on the street at a 130 mph, bad to the bone, this was in the 70's
Great story and car! Sounds nasty too 😎
Glad you enjoyed it! I love how that thing sounds!!
I'm sorry but I love this post and I really have to vent.. My dad was all about that stuff in beltville Maryland. It's so many race cars.. I would love to there his story briefly in my story how I got started briefly if you wouldn't mind. On your site. Awesome video let me know if you don't mind Awesome video, God bless you and family I know exactly where you're at with this all respect
The end of the video gives me vivid memories of the low buck kids that would straight pipe to get an aggressive sound, stickers, remove their front shocks and punch the throttle at low speeds so the cars front would lift higher to give an appearance that 275hp was 500hp 😂. There WAS those tuner types back then too, I lived down the road from a few of them.
Ah yeah!!!!
My cousin actually owned the 69 super sport Blue with white rally stripes with the cowl induction hood 396 4-speed wicked car
That's awesome!
Raced them at OCIR, and still have the track decal on my 57.
Nice!!!
OCIR was magical, that's where I got hooked on hot rods and drag racing 40 years ago. I own OCIR's hanging Christmas tree, and it works perfectly.
That is awesome keeping it alive you can tell me about this new drag cars im like 👍lose interest but hear stories about mr 4 speed and grumpy jenkin im all ears
Same here man!
Crazy seeing this style since I was a kid and now I'm building a Capri and the kids call me the old school guy for having a carb and nitrous 😂
Very cool video I know who has that Datsun pick up right now
Glad you like it!! Same people with this car, George and Joe.
Way cool video. Great job.
Thank ya Sir!!!
GREAT VIDEO! I SUBSCRIBED THNX FOR SHARING! GOOD OL OLD SKOOL STUFF, REMINDS ME OF DAD WITH HIS 67 CHEVELLE 396 BB 3 AND A QTR AND MOM HAD A 64 MALIBU AND THE FLAT TOWING BACK THEN WITH CAR IN TOW ON THE BACK WINDOW WITH WHITE SHOE POLISH!! GOOD OL DAYS AND LOTS OF FUN!!
Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad you liked the video!
I love hearing memories like those, I wish I'd have been around back then.
cool history
Definitely!
Dream car right there
I remember riding in them ol Chevys would rattle in the interior worse than any other manufacturer
Accurate. Hahaha
You should try listening to the AC Delco 8 track and mono speaker with the damn 427 yowling around 7k RPM
Must have been used up mine never did and bought it 22 yrs after it was built
@@traditionovertrend2704 They drove like any new car did unless people ran them into the ground
I was 16 in 1976 & had many 67 thru 69 camaros only , i finally woke up at 24 & stop playing with small blocks & realized the big power was in the 427 - 454 ,than at 40 i bought A 70 Chevelle & realized they were far a better driving more comfortable car than any camaro ever was.
I love it! Gotta ditch those new wheels though and go with some old school slots, TQ's or Cragars.
I remember the days you found ur body and you could get some cool body styles for cheap also like chargers cameros Mustangs and then you found ur engine and possibly trans if it was with out one and probably only had a grand in every thing and go play and have a ball these days takes a rich man to enjoy building them and still be able to raise a family
Check out our Basket Case to Burnouts Video. That's exactly what I did!!!
I even traded my clean plain 73' 318 barracuda for a rough all original condition 70' rt/se 383 magnum pistal grip 4-speed plum crazy paint w/the small, yes very small back window/glass challenger! (T/A back window) that thing was a beast, I drove that car with the dame push rod sticking out the valve cover, yes! Ran like a beast on 7 cylinders. Lol......
Hahahahahahaha
Those skinny cragar front wheels on the front,i bought mine in 76 still have them on my 73-Z-28 people ask me where i got them? You should see there looks when i tell them i bought them new, cuz GRUMPY run-em🎉😊 if I remember they only weigh 4.5 pounds each.
Badass!
This car is pretty cool. I wonder if you let me borrow it and take for a spin? I promise I am very responsible and a pretty good driver.
Thanks in advance! */w\TMFR/w\*
Sweet
Awesome video and your name of your youtube channel, trends are erasing tradition I have a couple of cars you maybe interested in seeing some pics of ,
Thanks man!! And let's see em!
you have no contact info on your you tube about me page, hit me up on my about page,
@@traditionovertrend2704Yeah I have a couple of old day 2 cars, one is a 67 z/28 and a 69 ss/rs l-89 convert owned by the GM buffalo NY central office
The 70s Ruled!
He said the Datson was cool.🫵😆😝
Love your Camaro, i had a 67 w/327. Get some good shocks up front and she'll go better for ya.... 👍
Looks like hes running 6 cyl front springs they all did back then for weight transfer
@@gordocarbo that's actually a good trick, hence all the wheel stands w/gen 1 Camaros.
Vicious
Tunnel ram with 2 4 barrel Holleys nice
Single Early Dominator is currently on it. The Pro Stock engine had the Tunnel Ram. Thanks for watching!!
At the end of the video, the way the car jumps when hitting the gas sure looks like old school 90/10 shocks. I would make sure this car had brakes and fuel lines and such gone through, but keep appearance just as it is. Maybe different front wheels, Centerlines would like more period correct in my opinion.
That's basically the life it has now! I love that they drive the snot out of it!
Centerlines? They weren't around in the 60's and 70's and early 80's like Keystones and Cragers and slots. That was all there was on the streets, Keystones and Cragers and slots.
Do some work on your editing and balancing out the sound and everything and this will be killer content man. Cool car, cool story. Thanks for sharing.
That's the plan! I figured I better start somewhere! Thanks for watching, and I hope you stick around to watch us grow!
Man. I NEED this car. De-fart the seats. Change nothing else and drive the heck out of it!
I wouldn't even mess with the seats! I'd just drive the wheels off of it. Hahaha
Do you know which 427 motor was in it? Was it a cast iron block with aluminum heads or iron heads?
Cast Iron all around if I'm not mistaken.
I got to ask is there any chance that cars for sale
Nope
@@traditionovertrend2704 you can't blame me for asking but I don't blame you I wouldn't sell it either
I miss back tires like that
Dig our Nova video also then!! I'm trying to bring this style back. Lol.
Lions, like the Lions club.
🤣🤣🤣
67 camaro is 3rd on my baddest rides list..67 nova ss #2 87 grand national#1..
4. Is a mustang 429 cobra jet.5. Is a cuda
The 67s are tough for sure!!
Nice old school car they don’t make them like that anymore
Everything now is all plastic and fiberglass .
True Story!
(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧
サイコー
Slow now was fast
Shame to see it rusting away.
Rusting away?
@@traditionovertrend2704 well yeah, look at it. It's covered in rust from bumper to bumper. There isn't a single panel anywhere on it that doesn't have some rust. It absolutely appears to be rusting away, and that's a shame.
Lol apparently brown paint means it's rusting.
@@georgetantardini9133 clearly 🤣🤣🤣
the days before hipster collectors that only want it for a 401k
patina definitely was not a 70s tradition.i was there
No. But what's left of the paint was there with you.
Heyya again dude!! Yeah man, everything was fender flares and metal flake orange and yellow and brown stripes and crud man!
I think that's a 327 not a 427. Very nice
It had a pro stock 427 swapped in.
Thanks for the comments y'all! And it currently has a very hot street 427. I don't think it's had a small block in it since the family has owned it. Just has 327 badges from it's past life.
Yeah buddy, ur probably right... wanna race for pinks?
That's my kind of global warming!
The numbers say 327 ?
Past Life. They're just still on it.
Pro Stock engine and factory traction bars huh?
At one point it had a Pro Stock engine in it. The family still has that engine in another car. And yes. Factory Traction Bar.
Yes, 67 big blockCamaro's with a 12 bolt came with a option for a factory traction bar.
No, they did not. @@georgeashmore9981
Hey Bro... I'm glad to see your obviously into family traditions and all that , But can I just point one small detail out to you .. The ONLY reason dad didn't finish the body up and get it looking as good as it runs was because back then that was no easy feat to accomplish . I can assure you He didn't think driving the car around or taking it to the track where many fine drag cars were every weekend was what he enjoyed with the car not finished up ...I know because back then we were the same way . So you do Dad and the car ZERO justice keeping it looking like something you hide under a car cover out back behind the wood pile... Just saying bro....
Thanks for the comment. The car was painted a couple times back in the day, the paint looks the way it does because it sat for 30 some years. At this point, the family is just driving the car, and working on other things. It will be painted eventually. It does more justice to the car and their Dad for it to be operational, and being used as it always was, than letting it sit around more, just because it isn't painted perfect.
I think it looks badass I got a 70 Monte with the 427 rectangle heads
@@peteragersea377 291 Casting?
I'm the owner of the car, I just want to clear up because I don't think you understand the events with this car. My dad bought the car in 69 has street race it from day he bought it up till ocir closed when the car was parked, for the paint the my dad painted the car him self in 76 in a gold pearl root beer, and won awards for that paint job. The car will be painted when we have time but customers cars come first over personal cars.
@@traditionovertrend2704 I don't know they say high perf on them cast iron
Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025
on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime.!!! (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!
That's wild!
Would’ve been cool to see them run it through the gears…
It would have been, but at the time of shooting they were having a transmission issue that wouldn't have made for a good video of doing so.
@@traditionovertrend2704
That’s understandable, still a good video, love the 70’s style street cars. 👍🏻
@@shitbox82 thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I love that style as well, I'll be releasing a video with my Nova, done similarly, in the next week or so! Check on back soon!
