Man you guys always have a great presentation on your cars I check out your website every night when I get home would love to come by I'm all the way back here in Virginia just always a good sincere presentation on what you have to offer, sometimes that's hard to find this day and time great job!!!
I love the 70 Z-28. I looked at one in a Chevy showroom back in early 70. What I remember was how noticeable the orange peel was in the paint and how poorly the doors were aligned. You won't see that in today's restored cars. But I also have several original 1970 road tests of them, both stick and auto. We're talking mid to high 14s in the mid 90s...by no means an apex predator.
The local dealership (Colonial Chevrolet) had giant cassettes promoting the different cars and trucks. The tape for the Corvette showed the car's performance and cornering prowess. On the tape for the Camaro, the narrator pointed out that the video of the Corvette cornering capabilities was taken from a Camaro. Well played. I've never forgotten it. (Note: As I recall, the LT1 couldn't be had with AC because either they couldn't keep a belt on it at high RPM, or the compressor couldn't take it?)
Guy's . I live across the pond and don't pretend to know about these motors but wasn't there a COPO that was built to "special"order. Very nice car indeed. Bare metalled one of these back in the '80's for a customer. Thanks for sharing.
Y’all have some great cars I really enjoy your videos. Cars are like people nothing is without flaws under close enough scrutinization. But y’all have sharp, fast, higher end muscle cars and I can appreciate everyone of them. From the hot rod big blocks to the well tuned numbers match cars and everyone in between. I haven’t seen one yet that I wouldn’t be proud to own.
Memories... I bought my bone stock original '71 Z28, Placer Gold blk stripes, 4 speed, with 15k miles in early '73 for $3,000. Drove it for 10 years, sold it for $9,000. Money numbers are crazy now for these beautiful cars!
Had a 1970 camaro cortez silver that came with two short chrome connected to the main bumper and part of the lower body part, I used to live in Boise, Idaho. Kept it in the public storage and left it there on federal way.
LS6 Chevelle, 440 Challenger or ‘Cuda, 428 Cougar or Mustang, Buick GSX, 454 Corvette are just a few examples of 1970 cars that would leave this Camaro in the dust. The Camaro is gorgeous and a great car, but not the fastest or the quickest.
Im a mopar and now a ford guy but there are some chevys i give a 👍👍 up for and other classic cars . a classic car needs to be driven. A nice cruze enjoy the drive.
My friend in high school David ; his parents told him if he kept his grades up A's & B's in High School his first 2 years there would buy him this very car buy the end of of his Junior school year he did so much rippin the gears that he had to have the clutch ; throwout bearing replaced. Man this car was fast.
So many bored keyboard jockeys on here ripping on the fact that he said "Fastest car in 1970"...Then comparing it to big blocks and hemi 426s etc...Gimme a break...I heard what he said but all he basically meant was that it was the highest HP 350 small block in "1970"...AND IT WAS!!! It was a 350 4-bolt with 11:1 flat tops, steel crank, solid lifter cam, 2:021:60 64cc dbl hump heads, Holley 750cfm, and true alum high rise dual plane intake that made 360HP. I know...I HAVE ONE! Nice car and great vid...keep up the good work! Thanks for posting.
Was going to post a comment about this not bring the fastest production car in 1970 but it looks like many others have already challenged this inaccurate claim.
I came home in 1973 from serving in the U.s. Air Force, my cousin was new car sale manager at a chev dealer ship. We sat down and ordered a 1973 z-28. It was white with black in side. Five week after ordering it he call me to tell me the car came in . I pick it up and drove about 3 miles to a sonic drive in .when I git ready to leave, this 4speed had the reverse look out .you had to pull the shifter up to put into reverse. When I pulled the shifter up it came out in my hand. Had to get under car a had put it in2gear and took it back to dealer. That was the first problem I had. It was a peace of junk. I soled it back to the dealer. After that I had 14 new chev. They all had bad problems. Chev to this day do not make a good car . After all those chev. A went to Toyota and never hade any problems out of 9 Toyota.
It's so nice it makes me look for a teekd Roof...... Don't get me wrong I love you guys you're some of the best....... Is my favorite car buying channel on TH-cam
You guys are the best, that dual commentary that you guys have going on is absolutely awesome...you really put the passion in it. And the drive by, you guys put a smile on a muscle car enthusiast. KEEP THEM COMING

This is literally a Dream Ride. Keep it up. liked and subscribed and I hit that Bell. I would rather bring you cash but this is the best I can do in the meantime
Cool car. Love the color. The best thing the lifter noise. Love the sound. The hei disturbitor is a plus . great video. My favorite body style. Love the grill
I have always been torn between the 70 Z/28 with the more horespower and more tasteful rear deck spoiler and the lower horespower 73 model with the optional air conditioning. As a fat guy the 73 is the Z for me.
cliff ford both the 1970 426 Hemi powered Cuda and Road Runners beat the Buick by 0.3 (Cuda) and 0.1 (RR) seconds in the quarter mile with a +2 mile per hour trap speed. The time that Motor Trend got out of the Buick could never be duplicated by any other test. The 1970 Chevelle 454 also beat it with times slightly less than the Cuda.
Hey Guys, that exact same LT1 engine was rated at 370hp.when installed in the Corvette. Think about that compared to the 69 DZ 302 at 290hp. Great engine but I've never heard anyone claim the fastest muscle car in 1970...

This is the Fastest Production Car in 1970!" --- What a ridiculous statement to make. With 4.10 gears and a top speed in the 120 mph range, it wasn't even close. Typical lying used car salesman.
Would be lucky to be in the top 10 fastest cars in 1970 the fastest would probably go to the 426 hemi cuda. But who cares it is a nice z28 camaro and its a manual yeah!!

Was close to the fastest in 1970. How can you sell classic cars and not know the basics. I love the 70 Camaro. I've owned a 70 and 73 but it wasn't close to the fastest production car in 1970. It was the Buick GSX stage 1 that ran l3.3 @ 105mph also on street tires.

@@CoyoteClassics Your "stats" only lists a handful of cars that it could beat...it skips the half dozen or so that could beat this car (Chevelle 454, HemiCuda, GSX Stage 1, Trans Am with a Ram IV)...Did you guys really think that list covered every muscle car built in 1970?
Fastest production car in 1970? How about an LS6 Corvette? How about the LT-1 Corvette? Hemi Cuda? Hemi anything! 440 anything! 455 trans am? 455 GTO? 455 Formula? 455 Buick GSX.

That’s a beautiful car but stop being a typical used car salesman with your BS. It ruins your credibility and makes customers wonder what else you’re BSing about.
You guys obviously don't know much about cars of that era, there a host of cars that would have blown that Camaro off the street, Plymouth 440+6 Roadrunner, six pack Superbee, 440+6 Cuda, 440+6 Challenger, any Hemi car, and this just the Mopar's.
"1st engine to produce more HP than cubic inch" Wrong even when you talk about claimed not actual. Ever here of a 1965 Corvette 396/425 and 450HP cars + nova Z16's had same engine and many many other cars had the same engine only w different exhaust manifolds rated at 375 HP. Or 290 HP fullie Vettes starting in 1960's or 1965 fully 327 rated at 375 etc etc...

Also: Chevy's L78 396, & not to mention the Mopar 426 Hemi.

My favorite year Camaro. That would be a great add to my collection .
That looks like my moms old Z28 that was red when she had it , wow it's looks very different and amazing !
As much as I love the Gen 1 Camaro this is my favorite year!
In 1957 the 283 CID sbc made 283 horsepower and was the first engine to make 1 horsepower per cubic inch!

Power steering in a 1970 Z28? Maybe RS/SS?
Most 1970s had manual steering and no AC
92 thousand 70 Camaro's came with power steering. Both of my 70 cars came with it.
Was close to the fastest in 1970. How can you sell classic cars and not know the basics. I love the 70 Camaro. I've owned a 70 and 73 but it wasn't close to the fastest production car in 1970. It was the Buick GSX stage 1 that ran l3.3 @ 105mph also on street tires.

M22 rock crusher and scatter shield?
M20 or 21.
short deck spoiler;built in late 69.

If it puts you back in your seat belt your not using them correctly. It goes around your waist not behind your back.
The front bumper is a '71. 1970 didnt have the 2 little "teeth"
that's not true... those are correct bumper guards for 70-72 ...maybe you're thinking of '73 where they had those bis ass ugly ones?
