Love these my last one was an 1984 Z28 5.0 H.O 5 speed manual with t-tops and I loved that car. I was stolen from my sisters house in 1994 and I never saw it again. I was a 18 year old pup back then. I wish I would have been smarter.
@@msicilia59 yeah I discovered your video in my news feed. At first I thought I car was stolen. Lol. She runs, I'm in the middle of changing out the water pump. Just need to replace the front and rear suspension, change the brakes, and finally going to the paint and body shop.
Just an FYI, when trying to rock a car against a gear to unstick a motor, you want to use your highest gear 5th gear would give you way way more leverage to do what you are trying to do. It is easier for the engine to turn the wheels in 1st gear, conversely, it is easier for the wheels to turn the engine in 5th gear... Really like the color scheme and the pin striping- I would delete the non-factory decals but keep that pin striping. Also a shame on nixing the numbers matching 5.0. I feel that with a car of this caliber, it would be wise to keep it as original as possible. But that being said, I swapped in a 6.0 and t56 in my 89 GTA and it is a real blast to drive ;) Factory motor was long gone by the time i got the car...
amazingly mint from the hangar, my goodness. the owner had the right idea on where to store it and it was put up in mint condition im sure. So the problem was bad oil pump? Why not just replace that, the walls of the cylinders still looked good. Unless all the bearings are shot from no oil??
ONE of the cars to have! The Trans-Am was a darn quick one at that year level. But, so was the, yuck, Mustang, ha ha. The Mustang was an OK car, quick and all, but no elbow room, and no leg room for the double date in the back seat, while "Cruizin' the Boulevard!" 😮 The Camaro's and the Trans-Am's had a touch more room, and they just felt right rippin' around and havin' fun!😅❤
I love it right down the older ontario plates on it. I think it will polish up really nicely and smell a lot better with a good interior cleaning. Since you're oulling the old motor how about putting an ls in? That would really wake her up.
Just pull the dam engine rebuild it, known have shaft shear when they sit for a while. sense ran so long, its screwed. Numbers matching much Beter option. simple 305 appears to be.,
I don’t agree with pulling that original motor I would have put a new oil pump in it. If you look at the crosshatching in the cylinders that was a very low mileage engine and you guys are killing the value of that original car by pulling that engine out of it
Got a 91 RS sitting for years but got it back on the road again feels great driving these olderGM cars
I'd keep that old motor in storage for a future rebuild looks like a gorgeous original car.
Numbers matching is more desirable.
@@mr.lewelljo1971 yup keep that motor
Especially on a preserved classic like this car- I would definitely go for numbers matching. @@mr.lewelljo1971
3rd Gen Camaros are so gorgeous and sexy! I absolutely love them.
I have to agree! I had one a few years ago and will probably own another one day!
That z looks DAMM good
I had a 1991 Z28 Convertible.. 1 Excellent auto..!!!!!!

Camaro Z28, The Best! Show...Roc On The Rock V8 🤜 ⚔️ 🤛 🏁 🎱 🇧🇷 🇧🇷👻
Looking good Matt!!! Can't wait to drive it again
Same here!
The vintage Alpine is nice. Had a few F bodies back in the day. They all tend to squeak like crazy after time.
Wow, that looks exactly like my 1985 Chevy Camaro Z28, same color design, same setup. I bought mine last year, still trying to restore her.
nice! it will be worth it once you get her on the road!

I have a 1983 Z28 Camaro I love old school American made cars very cool 😎
Some interesting options on that car.
Looks like it's got everything but power seats and A/C.

Or you could fill the cylinders with marval mystery oil and not risk breaking anything

Awesome car! I know someone who has one almost identical to this one. 😉
Car looks amazing
Growing up that was the car to have
ONE of the cars to have!

6.0 and a T56 ;) Numbers matching would be much more desirable though.
Definitely not an IROC-Z, but still cool.
A higher gear provides more leverage trying to pop a stock motor,

Awesome music track..great vid....👍
Thanks 👍I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Why put it in first gear when trying to turn the motor by hand? I would think you would want it in neutral.
Ouch...too bad the motor sat that long without being run time to time
That's my dream car right there, the delivery 🚚 is Australia 🇦🇺 lol jks😂😂😂 jks
Had an 86 Z28 favorite car I've ever had. Also what is this song?
They are cool cars!! I use Epidemic sound! the artist is Chester Malone!
Just needs a cow on the roof and it's the same as Clarkson's on top gear..
Looking good
Thanks 👍
Customer? I thought you traded the Edsel for this? Way to try to resurrect the motor.
Hey Bob! No the Edsel trade has yet to make it to the channel! Lol but it will soon! Yeah we gave it all we could but it just sat too long
What a terrific find !!! How much did you pay?
It was bought brand new in 1987 - original owner - I can't remember what I paid for it
Good content hate music in the video tho

Bad oil pump
dont store yours cars in concrete floored enclosed spaces, folks. this happens. id rather one sit outside.
i also wonder if it broke the oil pump shaft/drive.
