@@PARTSMANYT9 hey thanks I appreciate that can't wait to get started on this 83 Camaro it was a very busy last half of 2024 I'm definitely going to be able to spend more time in my shop here in 2025 so I'm excited to see what the year brings.
Oh nice that's a color combination I haven't seen too many of them person is a white with gray I bet you that would look really good in person. There's tons of options that would look great on these 3rd gens
Keep it red…and add one of those stupid black vinyl bras to needlessly complicated and cluttered. My 83 was in much better shape, had 15” Punch woofers where the back seat is supposed to be. And I had the most ingenious custom multi-faceted auto anti-theft system…. A kill switch wired up so you had to push the cigarette lighter in to get it to start. Lol!
Yeah exactly it's in really good shape I have no idea what would have pulled the door out like that though it's kind of odd. Something must have got hooked on the side mirror. Other than not in that dent in the fender and the crack on the ground effects on the passenger side it's in really excellent shape
The early third gens (82-84) are definitely my favorite. Mainly because that's what I had in high school but I also just like the front end, hood, and tail lights better.
Yeah I'm definitely a fan of these ones especially since the motors were all carbureted. Definitely make some a lot easier to work with having the less electronics in them. Same here I always like that front end of the earlier 3rd gens too. What year and color was your Camaro in high school?
Yes I graduated in 84🇨🇱Abd several of my pals had these gen 3 ,and Square bodies ,C-3s,Gen 2- Z28s,my close friend had one of the 1st sold at our local dealership,Dark Brown/tan interior/gold package trim V-6,nothing like new car smell😄
@ThereseClinewithaC oh nice that's awesome what color were the cars that you had? I'm hoping to pick up a couple more 3rd gens to plus the very first car i ever painted which was my 79 Pontiac Trans Am hopefully here in the spring when the snow melts
@@fullyloadedkustomsthe 80 Camaro was yellow, the 84 Z28 was white (with the red & black interior and seats said 'Camaro') and the 89 Firebird Formula was black. I sure would like to get another one!
This car looks awesome, and especially the interior after you detailed it, those seats look great. I know how exciting it can be finding one of these cars in good shape, just like when I bought my 1991 Trans Am. I'm excited for you and I hope to see more videos of this car in the future.
Hey thanks yeah I definitely felt way better after that car was detailed. The seats are in fantastic shaping this thing the only thing I really need to replace would be about the carpet. And just reupholster or reglue the T-top headliner. Oh nice that's awesome what color is your 1991 Pontiac Trans am? I will be doing a full video series on this Camaro on the teardown and repaint of it. As soon as I'm done the 1980 Scottsdale pickup truck series. I will either be painting this one or the 1991 Pontiac Firebird
@@fullyloadedkustoms That's awesome, I look forward to seeing more. My 91 Trans Am is maroon with a grey cloth interior, it is a GTA model so it has the gold badges and wheels. I would have really loved to have found a Trans Am in metallic blue like your 91 Firebird, which also is a nice car with a super nice interior. I haven't started my Trans Am in a few months so I plan on doing a cold start video of the car this week.
As a red 1983 Z28 owner, i may be biased, but i really think you should keep it the factory red with its silver ground effects like it is. Also, from the factory, this car wouldve had orange stripes just above the ground effects all the way around the car. Dont forget the stripes, they really make these red cars pop!
Lota of people are loving the orginal Red color on this Camaro it looks great with the silver Z28 ground effects kit. I juat Google that stripe I'll definitely be adding it of I go with this colors 👍🏻
I agree 2ith u about the Rootbeer color...Its already been repainted anyways...Do u know if it was origionally red? Most red ones I have seen have had the black or grey interior...That buckskin doesnt match red very well....
Hey thanks I appreciate that this was definitely a great find. And it's a really good car and really great shape too. I'm definitely looking forward to getting started on this project when I get the chance.
My first car was an 84 trans-am painted brown with a small flake in it (GM OEM paint). It was a nice car. so yea go with the rootbeer. It will look awesome.
Oh nice my buddy Rich back home in Ontario. Has a metallic Brown 84 Trans Am looks really good his is the only one I've ever seen in that color before. That's definitely what got me thinking that the root beer candy would look really good on it too.
14:22 on my 82 i use broken hockey sticks as hood or rear window prop rods.. using the same wooden Sherwood stick the last 4 decades. Lol. The original 1982 gas struts lasted 15 years in the back and say half that amount for the hood..😊
You just can't beat a good Sherwood brand hockey stick they last forever haha.15 yesrs out of a gas strut that's wild lol I swear every car I've gotten of these the gas struts are always gone haha.
I turned 16 in 1988 and my first car was a 1985 IROC-Z with the LB9 TPI 305. I haven’t driven a third gen since I sold that car around 1993. I have so many fond memories associated with that car. Im completely out of garage space ( I’m even storing one car at my father’s house) and I am in no way wanting to sell any of my cars…. But I am jonesing for a 3rd gen Camaro. It may be time to buy a lift and start stacking cars 🤔 Thanks for the video and the trip down memory lane. Peace, love, mullets and hair metal. 🤟
That's awesome can't beat having an Iroc Z as a first car that's awesome!! What color was it? Getting a lift is a good idea provides room for more cars. I agree the decision let's you get a 3rd Gen camaro I recommend it lol
@@fullyloadedkustoms…it was silver with red decals. The car was totaled soon after I sold it. It was a first year IROC, in the rarest color, with the top performing engine option and a rare non T-top car from year with lowest IROC production. Shame it got recycled into soup cans.
@abolishwelfare oh really that's to bad the new owner totaled it that sucks, yeah that's definitely ashamed that was end of it especially with it being the first year of the Irocs as well
Ahhhh nice Florida that would be a great place to be. Haha it was -24 here yesterday evening and we had bunch of snow too. It Would definitely be nice to be out on golf course instead.
Same here I definitely like my 3rd gens my 83 Camaro was pretty much the first car to get me into classic cars and Custom paintwork. Really looking forward to being able to do this one and the firebird over the winter should be great.
Pretty good purchase you have there ! Glad you got that f body running ✌. I always wanted a silver and black 85 Iroc z28 my uncle used to have.. Those cars good acoustic for a sound system. By the way that vacuum brush hack you have worked like a charm when I was cleaning out my GMT400 suv the other day ✌
Thanks same here it was definitely a great find. Really glad I turned around and left a note on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh yeah for Acoustics for sound systems they sound great. My 83 Camaro had the box that Six Flag with the rear hatch and when you get the base bouncing off the glass it sounds really good. Awesome the brush hack for the vacuum works so much better than the Plastics
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. Hopefully you get a chance to pick up a silver and black 85 IROC camaro 👍🏻
Arizona here! It’s 65-70 degrees every day right now. But, we pay for it in the summertime. My first car was a red 85 Camaro, so great to see this one get a new life again!
Oh nice that sounds like great weather compared to out here lol. But I've seen some of the temperatures there in the summertime it definitely gets hot. Have to plan to take a trip down to Arizona sometime for a cruise I've never been to that area before it would make for a great road trip. Oh nice that's awesome my first car wasn't 83 Camaro lock to my friends in high school either had a 3rd gen Firebird or a 3rd gen Camaro. Awesome cars to have. I can't wait to tear into this one and get it torn down and ready for paint
Excellent video as always, can't wait to see this f-body being restored to former glory. Don't worry about the zed thing, here in EU we initially learn British English so it's also "zed" for me 😄 - and in my native language German it's "zett", which is close to "zed" as well :). It's winter time here as well now, close to 0°C, it's gonna snow soon...I used to like winter, but the older you get the less you like it 😄. I never liked hot weather either, so I enjoy spring and fall the most when it's around 15-20 °C.
Thanks I really appreciate that. Lol when I posted the video of the world's largest Trans Am Camaro and Firebird collection at David T's I had a lot of people in the comments saying hey it's not a Zed 28 camaro it's a Zee 28 haha so I thought I would throw that clip in there lol. Yeah I know exactly what you mean used to like winter as a kid now that I'm in my 30s I really don't have much use for it haha. I would definitely prefer a longer car show season and golf season now haha. Yeah we're going to get hit with snow and cold weather here right away too. And then it's going to probably last until about May LOL had to stock up on my winter projects with the 3rd gens I picked up lol
Nice to see a new video. Looking forward to the body and paint phase of the project. A rich forest green with light gold ground effects would be sweet.
Same here I definitely cannot wait to get back to doing body work and paint on a project. Green and gold is such a good color combination. I painted a 1991 Caprice lowrider and a gold and Candy green color combination and it looked incredible when I was finished. Those color's go really well together. The greens really nice too because it stands out you definitely don't see too many of those ones around 👍🏻
I would love to build a replica of the first car I had back in high school which was in 83 sports coupe that I showed at the beginning of the video. I'm definitely saving the black paint for that one. This one I think would definitely look great in a red color for sure tons of really nice shades out there for red. I'm thinking it would go really nice with the tan interior
@roycervantes1341 I want 100% will be building a replica of my high school camaro on the channel. I recently just found the fiberglass hood scoops for it online. And after I found those I really got to thinking I have to make a replica of my high school car. Same here I really like that 90 to 91 RS ground effects kit with the Scoops I think it looks really good
Thanks, yeah, this one was in really good shape. I think the only thing I would do is replace the lower seat foam. That's all the seats need. Really comfortable seats in this car though
@@csavage63 100% doable to get that 92 up and running again, I pulled a 91 Firebird out of the wrecking yard last summer it sat in the yard for at least 10 years. Got it running and driving with no keys and a Vats system and drove it out of there. These 3rd gens can be brought back to life
Yeah I'm definitely liking the red color on these looking really good. I've looked at a few shades of red for it. Definitely going to keep the tan interior because it's an excellent shape.
Leave it red, looks old school and cool. When I was 15 I got an 87 firebird and its maroon and gold. I originally hated the color but I grew to love it and I got the seats redone to be their original red. This car is badass and I love it
Yeah lots of peope are loving this old school Red paint job on the Camaro. It definitely works well with the silver Z28 ground effects kit. Nice that maroon Firebird I bet looks great
Hey, a red 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z28 305 5.0Liter V8 TPI With race homo-legation undercarriage and 5 speed manual Borg-Warner drivetrain with 4 diskbrakes owner here, Please keep her Red and by all means do not upgrade the engine (LS-swap or someting) because you will chew up your entire Borg-Warner drivetrain. If you must LS-Swap this Camaro, then swap out the entire drive train as wel, capable to handle the Horse power and Torque the LS in the end comes with. And please when you turn off the engine by key, the power really is off when you press down the key release button behind the key so you can turn the key all the way back so both arrows on the key/contact actually point to each other.... ask me how I know....
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with that Color combination Red/Silver I also will add the lower decals that should be on the car too. Me and my dad were recently out at the pick and pull and picked up a door and a fender for the camaro too. Now I have all the parts I needed to repaint this car and get it ready for the road again
I'm pretty sure if I throw this in a poll video this Camaro will be going back to that stock Red color with the z28 Graphics and the silver Z28 ground effects kit
Oh nice I haven't been down to California before I really got to go take a road trip down there sometime. See what kind of cars I can find along the way.
Yeah I definitely got a good score on this one. I ended up picking up this Camaro for $1,500 canadian which works out to be about $1100 us. Can't wait to start the tear down process on this and get it ready for paint
I'll have an update video coming out on the Camaro and the 2 Firebirds I recently did a Revival on. In the next few weeks after the car hauler budget paint video 👍🏻
Great video. My wife (girlfriend at the time) bought a brand new 1983 Camaro Z28, black with grey black interior. We live in the gta, just north of Toronto, Ontario. She didn’t drive it in the winter so it was mint and Was a good car. I sold it for her a few years later but we enjoyed it while she had it.
On nice that's awesome. That would have been a sweet car. Your located around that Vaughon area? I'm originally from Pembroke Ontario just outside of Ottawa. Lived there for the longest time. Can't believe there is more snow in that Toronto then there is here in Alberta.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated

I am thrilled to have discovered your show and the impactful mission you're undertaking. Reviving these cars and putting them back on the road, restored to their prime, represents the epitome of upcycling. We've embarked on a similar journey, having rescued a Jeep YJ from a scrapyard, meticulously restoring it, and then taking it a step further by electrifying it entirely! We've retained the original look and functionalities of this iconic vehicle, enhancing its power beyond its original capabilities. The message you convey is exceptionally vital, especially in today's economic and environmental landscape. Salvaging these classic cars serves as a brilliant solution. Kudos to you! I have a deep affection for the z28 Camaro, and it's likely next on my list for restoration and electrification. Here's a brief video showcasing the inspiring story of our electrified Jeep. th-cam.com/video/rHe_osRXWZ0/w-d-xo.html
That's awesome hey welcome to the channel. I definitely can't wait to get to the body work and paint portion of these vehicles that's where you can see the biggest transformation come to life. That's awesome I will definitely go and take a look at your TH-cam channel there as well I just subscribed there this morning. Once I get a chance and I'm finished up work here today I'll sit down and I can watch that video👍🏻
Thank you I greatly appreciate it. Really glad that I stopped in to find out if this car was for sale. Definitely cannot wait to get the body work and paint started on this 3rd gen project 👍🏻
Thanks I appreciate that this was definitely a great find. Really glad I decided to knock on the door and find out if it was for sale. It's definitely going to make for a great project can't wait to get the chance to start working on it.
I definitely have always liked these gens of Camaros as well. My first car in high school was a 1983 Camaro sports coupe. Thanks I really appreciate that. Now that I got it running I can wait to strip it down and get it ready for paint.
@BDOML9101 hey thanks I tried to find that car recently but I found out It got crushed years ago. So I 100% plan on building a replica of that Camaro from high school on the channel. Here gonna be fun
Thanks yeah the root beer candy color I've never seen done on a third gen Camaro before I definitely think it would stand out and go really well with that Tan interior
My 1st was a 82 z28 350/T350 trans, it was blue with grey skirts, it rotted away😞, my second was a 88 sport coupe with a 305/700r4,all rattle can black indy 500 hood, i had 387,000 miles on it when the engine blew😞, these cars schooled me on how to improvise, best sitting position for bad back ppl too its like a beach chair.
Awesome find my friend.my buddy had a 88 camaro back in high school in 92. we used to hop in it and ditch 1st period to go and get donuts.Im here in Arizona and its currently 50F and will warm up to 75 today. sending you warm thoughts brother. keep up the videos i really enjoy the time and effort you put in to them..
That's awesome ditching school to go do donuts. to me that sounds like the better option as well lol. Arizona weather is definitely sounding pretty good I bet they still have the golf courses open there too lol. Hey thanks that's greatly appreciated I definitely can't wait to get painting on one of these projects here. Almost ready to start the metal work on the 1980 Scottsdale I'm working on. After this week here I'm going to have some extra time to work on it finally lol my second job shuts down for the winter hahah.
I had a 1982. Z28 same color. It was a crossfire engine. Crashed it back in 2003. I like the one you have better. Yours doesn't have the Crossfire engine for 1. And yours has T-tops. Very nice. Red is the right color too. 😊👍
A lot of people are definitely loving the red and silver combination on this 83 Camaro. I might have to go with that color when I repainted here right away. Oh that's too bad about your Camaro hopefully you have a chance to pick up another one
Yeah I was thinking about doing that just before I posted on the truck series. That way I can kind of use that video as a poll to find out which car to paint after I'm finished up with the truck series either the 91 Firebird or that 83 Camaro. Thinking when I get back from the city I'm going to work on doing a quick video on the three of them. Before I post the first video on the truck series.
Hey my friend just finished watching your video. Man you did a great job the car looks fantastic. I think the burgundy would look nice when you paint it.. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks really appreciate that. Yeah seeing a burgundy color online with a tan interior and it looked so good together. Really got me thinking that it would look excellent on this Camaro👌🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms Your welcome anytime btw I'm Steve from L.A.and I love cars old and new I work for a rent a car company. One of the nicest things about my job I can rent a car free when ever I want.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Glad to. Last time I saw one of ur vids u were at a yard looking for firebird parts. I guess I'm behind. Keep the content coming bro, there's lots of people checking them out!
@BNM0826 yeah haa I was at the wrecking yard picking up a bunch of body panels for the 91 firebird. I also picked up a door and a fender for this 83 Camaro at the Pick-n-Pull recently too. I've got about seven or eight videos worth of film done just have to sit down and edit it lol.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Oh, cool. Those camaros are hard to find down here. I'm more into the Pontiacs cause I had an 88 Trans Am. Good luck and looking forward to new vids.
Hey mate, got recommended your channel, nice work! I lived in Regina for a year or so which was cool. back in my native New Zealand now, you don't find cars like this!! if i'm honest , the root beer would be mint!
Oh nice yeah Regina is roughly about 7 hours from where I'm located. Nice my buddies been to New Zealand was showing me pictures from there that's beautiful country there. Same I was thinking that Rootbeer color would be sooo unique on the Camaro
Nice looking car. Keep it red,and just spruce it up abit. Here in Florida, it is hot and muggy. That cool weather sounds really nice. More updates whenever you can
Thanks definitely lucked out with this one. Really glad I went and knocked on that where to find out if it was for sale. Hot sounds good muggy not as much lol. But I definitely would take hot and muggy and still be able to drive classic cars over parking them 6 months at a time lol.
Hey thanks it's greatly appreciated. Right now I've currently got the 1980 Scottsdale in the garage that I recently did a Revival video on. I've got it pretty much torn down and ready to get the box off and start the metal work on it. Definitely looking forward to putting the Retro paint job back on the truck. And from there I will be either getting to this 83 Camaro or the 91 Firebird👍🏻
You scored with this one. I would go back with the red color but if changing it definitely the burgundy of the same year Iroc series and maybe go with gold Iroc wheels as well. Tuning in to see where you go with this one.👍
@keithcarlson7267 no problem, I was just out at the pick and pull the other day getting a door and a fender for this Camaro as well. Getting it all ready to repaint it
There's definitely been lots of comments on here about keeping the Camaro the original color. It definitely looks good with the silver ground effects kit. Oh that's awesome. What color is your 82 trans am? Awesome here its back up and running
I think you said in your clip that it was October up there and I'm getting the video kind late adds to the whole Halloween vibe as your crank and the light's flickering. And there's dust flying up and everything else. Pretty cool. Erecting it from the dead..
Yesh I think it was around the 26th of October when I finished filming up this video for the channel. Haha it really does add to that Halloween theme bringing it back from the dead
I am so glad I live in Florida, feel so bad for you. I cannot function in extreme cold or heat but can handle the heat a lot better than the cold, anything below 50 degrees farenheit is to cold for me. Great video.
Hey thanks I appreciate that. Florida would be fantastic to be in can definitely get used to all the humidity in the heat out there. Plus being able to golf more than 3 months out of the year LOL. Yeah it's about to dip into some cold weather right here right away going to be locked up in my shop here until May LOL. I've never been to Florida before. I'm going to have to take a road trip down there see what kind of cars I can find along my way
@@fullyloadedkustoms Florida is a beautiful place to live, if you want land north Florida is affordable. I don’t know how much the real estate prices are in Canada but many people sell their properties up north and buy houses cash down here because of the price difference. I wish you well in your endeavors .
Yeah same here I don't think I have ever seen one done in a root beer candy before. My Buddy Rich back home has a 1984 Trans Am done in an orginal brown metallic that looks really good. And that root beer candy and gold accents would look extremely well together👍🏻
Oh nice that's awesome to still have. Your first car after all these years that's amazing that makes for such great memories. I am 100% going to build a replica of my 1983 Camaro I had in high school on the channel
Hey thanks I really appreciate that. Definitely going to have some more videos out here over the winter. I've got one week left on the farm and my second job shuts down here for the winter. Should give me more chances get some more TH-cam videos out. That's what I'm thinking is the root beer color candy would definitely stand out and give it a unique look. Another viewer gave me the part number of another root beer candy that's a bit lighter from Tamko. And that lighter root beer color candy would look really good too.
Hey thanks I appreciate that. Yeah this is definitely a really great find I'm happy I turned the truck around and decided to knock on the door to see if they were selling it. The candy apple red definitely will have a great look to it. Especially the sunlight it just brings out all the body lines in the car in the sun flop on the paint.
Charcoal grey...btw,GREAT FIND, GREAT JOB ! The only thing I would do is, take the rear spoiler off the Camaro and put on a wing like the one on the Trans am...OR same yr as the camaro.
Hey thanks I appreciate that, it was definitely a great find to come across this Camaro. Glad I stopped and knocked on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh that's a cool idea I don't think I've seen that done before
Yeah I'm liking the red color on it the red looks pretty nice. There's a few red colors that I was looking at for it already. A yellow color will be definitely different don't see too many of those around Ferrari has a amazing metallic yellow PPG color. I also do like that old school pale kind of yellow too that you would see in a lot of mid 60s cars.
I have an 87 Z28 and it was red like yours and I got side swiped on the passenger side door and fender and my body guy who was supposed to be my friend talked me into painting it Viper blue because he owned a couple of them and gave me a break on the paint. My interior is black cloth seats . Long story short, I wished I had left it pull me over red 😂!!! Although that maroon looked pretty nice too. Your call sir. Another third gen back on the road. Awesome 👍🏻!!!
Ahh that sucks that's what happend to my 83 Camaro I had in high school. Guy side swiped me too. Yeah that red is definitely an attention grabbing color Lora of people have left suggestions to go back to that color
Oh, really, that's cool. I had someone else comment that they had an almost identical car to this one. It would be awesome to get your original car back
Fellow canuck here...just found your channel, subbed and gave ya a like. Love the 3rd gens, specifically the 89 IROC... If it were mine, I would paint her dark charcoal metallic, which would look nice with the lower grey silver trim package it has. Look forward to watching your past vids and future content... oh ya...its " Zed " 28..not Zeeee...LOL
Awesome thanks I greatly appreciate that 👍🏻 what part of Canada? I will definitely have a bunch of 3rd gen content coming out along with other f-body Camaros and Firebirds Trans Ams as well. Once I'm finished up the 1980 Scottsdale. Dark Charcoal Metallic would look great on that car. I knew a guy back in high school who had an 85 in that color combination looks really good. Haha exactly Zed 28 lol that's what I've always called it lol
Perfect haha when I posted the video of the world's largest Trans Am Firebird and Camaro yard I had a lot of people saying hey it's not zed 28 it's zee28 hahha so I thought I would toss that clip in there LOL
Yeah this Camaro is in fantastic shape. A lot of these that have been able to find are in pretty good shape with very minimal rust. Good thing for the dry climate we got out in this area in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Had this been in Ontario car she might have rusted in half already with all the salt down there haha. But this one's going to make for a solid project can't wait to tear into it.
what I was thinking about doing with it. Was running it through a raffle that way people would have the chance to win it. I was thinking would be a cool idea.
@kevinturner1104 Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Raffle is a pretty good idea, and it gives people a pretty fair chance to win the car. And not have to spend a ton of money for the opportunity to win it.
Great find. I am from California. I have two camaros, one iroc and a 95 Z28 paint it what color you like. As for me, I would paint it black with the lower ground effects in gold .keep up the great work 👍
Oh nice California would be the place to be. Haven't been down to that area definitely have to take a road trip once I have one of these cars back on the road would definitely for a great time. That's awesome the black and the gold combination would look really good together👍🏻 what color are the two Camaros that you have now?
Hey thanks much appreciated 👍🏻 nice I've never been down to that area before it would be great to take a road trip see what kind of cars I could come across in the Alabama area.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up painting this either the red or burgundy. There have been a ton of comments in the comment section to keep it the original red color
Lots of People are loving the orginal Red color. I'm the same way I think it would be better suited to be all red. Would definitely give it a good look
I’m from Ontario and Canadian tire or “Newfie Speedsport” is always the go-to for parts. They have a wide selection of everything now especially on weekends. Any thing from dealerships is going to require you mortgaging your home. I have quite a few jobber parts store here that I get most of my parts from and princess auto and TSC is another good place to get stuff from.
Ohh nice what part of Ontario? I'm originally from Pembroke Ontario. I've been out in Alberta for the past 15 years there now. I'm hoping to be able to go back home in the summertime and set up a big car show down there. Just trying to work stuff out with the city to find all the details on a car show event before I plan anything. We have a lord co auto parts and parts source out here I normally go to. Except they are 3 hours away in Edmonton 😆
I had a 3rd gen camaro forget what year it was but I will say this it was so fun to drive I loved driving it in my opinion it was dam well built car had 200,000 miles but ran like a dream was well taken care off too I feel In love with it had t tops whole nine yards unfortunately I had to get rid of it had the money but not the time to do what I wanted too with it I always said it was my dream car one of them and one day I'm gonna buy another one deff keep it red love to see you restore this car.
100% these cars are fun to drive they get tons of looks and lots of people have great memories in them too. I'm definitely glad I turned around and decided to stop and ask if this car was for sale. What color was the 3rd gen Camaro that you had? Hopefully, you get the chance to get yourself another one to cruise in.
You found a good investment. For this car I would say go on a road trip. Someplace that is warm. Highlight everything mechanical that you think, would need to be done on the car that can at least survive a1500 mile road trip. Go after creature conforts inside the car, like new seats. And outside, like rear suspension upgrades if need be. Maybe even buying a professionally made hitch and towing a trailer in an 83 Camaro :) Get rid of the crusty IROC wheels and go 16x8 OEM replacement wheels. Basically, just demostrate that these cars can still function and have purpose.
Yeah this is a really good car I picked up. I ended up purchasing the Camaro for $1,500 Canadian which works out to about $1100 usd. My plan for either this one or my 91 Firebird is to build and restore it and then drive it across Canada in the spring so that I'm able to help my younger brother paint his 87 Cutlass and also throw a big car show in my hometown of Pembroke Ontario at the same time. I think the rough distance would be about 2600 miles. To go from where I live in Alberta to Pembroke Ontario. It would definitely make for a great series. I would be redoing all the seat foam interior carpets new paint job exhaust rims and tires and try to keep each build in a lower bracket budget that's easily affordable for most people.
I think I've seen that orange color you're talking about that would have been on those 90s Trans Ams that's a really nice color. Definitely would have stood out for sure. Hope you get a chance to pick another one up there
A friend of mine just bought 2 third gens..1 is supposed to be an 85 Iroc Z28 305 auto.and the other is supposedly an 87 RS 2.8 5 speed,converted from auto, with an 82 or 83 nose on it...
Ohh nice that's awesome I recently just came across a 86 Iroz Z sitting in a wrecking yard I'm hoping to pick it up and rebuild it as long as the VIN number rolls back OK to rebuild and it was decommissioned. What color are your friends camaros? The one I was looking at was a blue color I think it's identical to my.91 Firebird
That sure looks VERY familiar, I had a 1983 Z28 a couple years ago, canadian car as well so no computer control, no AC, TH200C, red on silver, but it had no option and base interior in charcoal. It had the funny clock in the center console you got if you didn't order a radio. It was so basic it didn't have rear speakers or even the openings for them in the rear panel, and no antenna hole in the fender either. Sweet car, not fast but a simple lovely cruiser.
Oh nice that's right on so you pretty much had the identical looking car that's cool. Yeah exactly it would make for a great Cruiser. I would really like to redo this Camaro or the 91 Firebird over the winter time and take one of those two. And drive it across Canada which is roughly 2600 miles to my hometown in Pembroke Ontario and help my younger brother paint his 87 Cutlass in the spring. Would definitely make for a great road trip and would also help my younger brother good also get my family in some more TH-cam videos would make for a great time
First off, I love your F body videos. I myself love the F bodies, as I bought a '97 Firebird Convertible last Feb. EXCELLENT shape, loved the driving season this yr but sadly she is in my storage unit now till April. It's cold now in IA, USA and we had 2" of snow here Saturday. Oh well.....keep it up, best wishes!!!
Hey thanks greatly appreciated. That is awesome what color is your 97 Pontiac firebird? Oh that sucks to hear that it is getting snow over there in Iowa. I'm sure the snow and really cold weather is going to be on its way here to Alberta right away too haha. It always is lol. I'm very glad I stocked up on 3rd gen projects for the winter here lol.
Nice that's awesome. I'm really liking the color combination on this car especially with that tan Interior. I can't wait to get the Chance to start working on this project
Yeah definitely looks to have been sprayed probably within the last 10 to 15 years I would have to guess nothing's really flaking off it yet. It's good possibility that's maybe what has happened. I'm definitely going to find out once I start sanding on and see how many different colors it might be.
I definitely lucked out with this 83 Camaro. I ended up picking up for $1,500 Canadian which is roughly about $1,100 usd. Really glad I decided to knock on that door and find out if it was for sale. That's what I'm thinking too a dark red would be really great on this car
@aaronsg71 yeah exactly I'm really glad I was able to find it. I usually come across deals like this when I'm out doing my internet installs. And I find cars for a really good value.
I totally understand the "Zed" thing. I'm retired Air Force. I've had trips to Canada as well as lots of trips to England. Zed is common for Z. Love your channel!!!
Thanks I really appreciate that. Oh nice right on if you were in the Air Force and had trips up to Canada you must have been up to Cold Lake Alberta for Maple flag? I was getting a few comments here from people in the UK too who said that the English they use it's pronounced Zed as well.
@fullyloadedkustoms Never been to Alberta. Twice as a kid to Brockville, Ontario as my dad was also Air Force and assigned to a Radar Site in Upstate New York and once while I was in to London, Ontario for their Airshow.
@bernardowens1648 oh nice Brockvilles a nice area. Im orginal from Pembroke which is right beside Base Petawawa. Out here in Cold Lake they have I think the largest air force base in Canada. They have a training program every year called maple flag and it brings in Air Force from all over the place.
@fullyloadedkustoms Brockville was the "Sister-Town" to Watertown, NY and the golf courses at both towns hosted yearly tournaments where golfers from both towns would travel to each other's courses to play. And, my dad took our family to a nice restaurant there for Mother's Day in 1968.
I'm jealous. A few years ago, I bought an '87 IROC but it ended up being more rusted out than I thought and is now a parts car for my '86 sport coupe. Wish I had waited and bought something like what you got in MUCH better shape. Anxious to see what you do to it. I'd also keep it red, personally, even though I am partial to Metallic Blue.
I actually just came across a 86 Iroc yesterday I'm 100% considering picking that car up to build it's in pretty good shape. And at $600 Canadian I don't think you can go wrong there. This 86 I found I would love to paint it a metallic Blue color
Wow my favorite third gen hunter just got a new project! Nice you got a set of keys this time, if you need an assistant give me a call 😀I enjoyed every minute of this video from start to finish. I would paint this beautiful Z28 with a Ferrari red color; an hope you can continue your Firebird project soon, keep up the good work.
Having keys is such a a great way to start off a project. The last time I bought a vehicle that had a set of keys with it was back in 2014 haha. Definitely been a while, glad you enjoyed the video. That would be pretty sweet to be able to get help on some of these projects. I've been telling my younger brother from Ontario to move down and help me out build some cars lol. There's definitely some really nice Ferrari PPG colors that would look great on this. They have a tri-stage red color that I really like. I'm just heading down to the city there today to pick up a 700R4 transmission for the 91 Firebird. Last weekend I also picked up a turbo Trans Am hood for it as well.
Oh really that's awesome! I'm pretty sure I'll be painting this car back to the silver and red combination. Just have to add the lower striping decals to it as well
Yeah that Camaro fired right up. The starter on the 1991 Firebird having the same issues it although it clicks clicks clicks then catches and fires the car up right after
Death Mat Black with black out everything!! Hm......Okay I just saw your pics for colors and You're right. DO THAT!! Root beer Mmmmm. Sooo as a fellow Albertan (Calgary grew up in Grande Prairie) I notice you've been missing out on the wonders of the Princess Auto stores!! Oh man I'm sure you must shop there once in a while as you're who you are but it's THE shop to beat all shops IMHO LOL! Love the channel!
Hey thanks thats much appreciated 👍🏻Oh yeah I try and get up to Princess Auto as often as I can when I'm down in the city either Calgary or Edmonton or lloydminster. Princess Auto is to go to shop. I'd be there every day if it wasn't 3 hours from me lol. I know when I lived in Calgary that's where I was pretty much all the time.
Yeah this one was all decked out with the sound system amp and subwoofer. Would be nice if it has the Box that sits flush with the back hatch. Oh nice that's awesome Maui blue is a fantastic looking color. The 88 Firebird I recently picked up under the black rattle can spray paint is Maui blue such a nice looking color👌🏻 how long have you had that Firebird for?
I can’t believe you scored such a great car right off the bat! Everything worked and you really didn’t have to do much to get it driving again. Good for you! My first choice would be the original color, if not, then the color of the Iroc that you showed us. I hope you show us the actual painting part, that would be cool.
Exactly I was really surprised with this car. I picked it up for $1,500 Canadian which is roughly $1100 usd. It didn't really take much to get it driving. Yeah I've definitely got a lot of comments that people like the original red color on the car. It definitely stands out for sure. I will be doing an entire paint series on this Camaro from start to finish. I'll probably break the videos down into 4 parts 1) vehcile tear down 2) body work primer 3) paint /clear coat wet sand polish 4)reassemble/ final product Is kinda what I'm thinking definitely can't wait to get the paint fun in my hand to paint it that's for sure 👍🏻
I've definitely been getting lots of comments. There's a lot of people out there that like the original red with the silver ground effects kit on it👍🏻 just might have to paint this car back to that original red
I've seen a couple 3rd gen Camaros that are painted in a black and gold scheme and have the gold style Iroc rims on them they look pretty Sharp and would also match that tan interior really well too
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be going back with the Red and the silver on this Camaro and adding the Z28 graphics stripes too. Small block 400 would make for a nice touch in this car 👍🏻
From the US, just say Zed lol always make these videos better seeing canadans or austrailians, Japanese or whatever the person may be, enjoy the cars we have standard since its usually the other way around lol
Haha perfect that's what I've always called it lol only because the letter by its self is Zed. But I have no idea why in Canada its pronounced Zed and its Zee in the US. Like how ridiculous would Zedbra sound lmao.
This was definitely a great find I was able to pick this up for $1500 Canadian too. I've got my eyes on another 84 Z28 to pick up in the spring time as well
Just found your channel on a revival video binge. Being from Texas, it's weird to see a near fully loaded car with no A/C, also odd to see no cruise control or power locks on a car with all the options, back in the day when you could pick and choose your options. Lastly, Ricky would be proud of the first hood prop.
Yeah, it's weird in this area of Canada. There are a lot of classic vehicles that don't have the AC option. I would be assuming it's because the summertime it doesn't get overly hot and unbearable with the heat out here. Haha, perfect making Ricky proud haha
Oh nice the Dark Maroon color with Gold Highlights and a tan interior would be a really nice combination to have on this car it would look really good. I bet that 1984 camaro looked really nice 👌🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms I wish I had a picture of it to show you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I would love to see another one like it.
I'm 100% building a replica of my high school Camaro on the channel. I found the hood scoops for it online and know how to airbrush the flames now too. But this time around that cars gonna need something like a 383 Stroker in it. Give it the horse power it never had
Dude Zed 28 is fine, reminds of Top Gear.. Keep up the good show.
@@PARTSMANYT9 hey thanks I appreciate that can't wait to get started on this 83 Camaro it was a very busy last half of 2024 I'm definitely going to be able to spend more time in my shop here in 2025 so I'm excited to see what the year brings.
@@PARTSMANYT9 thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated and happy New Years
I had an 84 z28 in artslic white, with gray and silver accent stripes above the rockers. It was beautiful.
Artic white
Oh nice that's a color combination I haven't seen too many of them person is a white with gray I bet you that would look really good in person. There's tons of options that would look great on these 3rd gens
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Keep it red.
Walk away - because it's red.
Keep it red…and add one of those stupid black vinyl bras to needlessly complicated and cluttered. My 83 was in much better shape, had 15” Punch woofers where the back seat is supposed to be. And I had the most ingenious custom multi-faceted auto anti-theft system…. A kill switch wired up so you had to push the cigarette lighter in to get it to start. Lol!
Great comment...Not...Always someone with the ole mine was better than yours story...So childish there...Just be happy for theman...
Don’t change it. Looks good the way it is 💪🏻
A lot of people are definitely liking the original red color on this Camaro. With those silver Z28 ground effects. It's got a good look on it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's much appreciated
She's definitely in good condition considering. Paint held up. That red does look good on her
Yeah exactly it's in really good shape I have no idea what would have pulled the door out like that though it's kind of odd. Something must have got hooked on the side mirror. Other than not in that dent in the fender and the crack on the ground effects on the passenger side it's in really excellent shape
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Keep the existing colour combination. It will be more attractive. Especially if you decide to sell it. 👍🏿
Yeah I.want to say like 65% - 75% of the comments on the page have been in favor of the orginal red and silver paint combination
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms 3rd gen'rs gotta stick together 👊🏿😆
@stephencampbell8498 oh exactly haha I've got a few more 3rd gens I've Come across over winter, hopefully bring that back once all the snow melts lol
The early third gens (82-84) are definitely my favorite. Mainly because that's what I had in high school but I also just like the front end, hood, and tail lights better.
Yeah I'm definitely a fan of these ones especially since the motors were all carbureted. Definitely make some a lot easier to work with having the less electronics in them. Same here I always like that front end of the earlier 3rd gens too. What year and color was your Camaro in high school?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏
I had a 82 Z28 silver with gray ground effects. Bought it in 87 thanks to a little help from my parents. I was in love 😍@@fullyloadedkustoms
Yes I graduated in 84🇨🇱Abd several of my pals had these gen 3 ,and Square bodies ,C-3s,Gen 2- Z28s,my close friend had one of the 1st sold at our local dealership,Dark Brown/tan interior/gold package trim V-6,nothing like new car smell😄
I owned a 1980 Camaro, a 1984 Camaro Z28 and a 1989 Firebird Formula. I could watch your videos all day... Makes me wish I still had mine! ❤
@ThereseClinewithaC oh nice that's awesome what color were the cars that you had? I'm hoping to pick up a couple more 3rd gens to plus the very first car i ever painted which was my 79 Pontiac Trans Am hopefully here in the spring when the snow melts
@ThereseClinewithaC thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustomsthe 80 Camaro was yellow, the 84 Z28 was white (with the red & black interior and seats said 'Camaro') and the 89 Firebird Formula was black. I sure would like to get another one!
This car looks awesome, and especially the interior after you detailed it, those seats look great. I know how exciting it can be finding one of these cars in good shape, just like when I bought my 1991 Trans Am. I'm excited for you and I hope to see more videos of this car in the future.
Hey thanks yeah I definitely felt way better after that car was detailed. The seats are in fantastic shaping this thing the only thing I really need to replace would be about the carpet. And just reupholster or reglue the T-top headliner. Oh nice that's awesome what color is your 1991 Pontiac Trans am? I will be doing a full video series on this Camaro on the teardown and repaint of it. As soon as I'm done the 1980 Scottsdale pickup truck series. I will either be painting this one or the 1991 Pontiac Firebird
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms That's awesome, I look forward to seeing more. My 91 Trans Am is maroon with a grey cloth interior, it is a GTA model so it has the gold badges and wheels. I would have really loved to have found a Trans Am in metallic blue like your 91 Firebird, which also is a nice car with a super nice interior. I haven't started my Trans Am in a few months so I plan on doing a cold start video of the car this week.
❤
❤🥴😎😎🥴❤❤❤❤❤@@fullyloadedkustoms
As a red 1983 Z28 owner, i may be biased, but i really think you should keep it the factory red with its silver ground effects like it is. Also, from the factory, this car wouldve had orange stripes just above the ground effects all the way around the car. Dont forget the stripes, they really make these red cars pop!
Lota of people are loving the orginal Red color on this Camaro it looks great with the silver Z28 ground effects kit. I juat Google that stripe I'll definitely be adding it of I go with this colors 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I agree 2ith u about the Rootbeer color...Its already been repainted anyways...Do u know if it was origionally red? Most red ones I have seen have had the black or grey interior...That buckskin doesnt match red very well....
Great video and awesome pick up! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey thanks I appreciate that this was definitely a great find. And it's a really good car and really great shape too. I'm definitely looking forward to getting started on this project when I get the chance.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
My first car was an 84 trans-am painted brown with a small flake in it (GM OEM paint). It was a nice car. so yea go with the rootbeer. It will look awesome.
Oh nice my buddy Rich back home in Ontario. Has a metallic Brown 84 Trans Am looks really good his is the only one I've ever seen in that color before. That's definitely what got me thinking that the root beer candy would look really good on it too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
14:22 on my 82 i use broken hockey sticks as hood or rear window prop rods.. using the same wooden Sherwood stick the last 4 decades. Lol. The original 1982 gas struts lasted 15 years in the back and say half that amount for the hood..😊
You just can't beat a good Sherwood brand hockey stick they last forever haha.15 yesrs out of a gas strut that's wild lol I swear every car I've gotten of these the gas struts are always gone haha.
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I turned 16 in 1988 and my first car was a 1985 IROC-Z with the LB9 TPI 305. I haven’t driven a third gen since I sold that car around 1993. I have so many fond memories associated with that car. Im completely out of garage space ( I’m even storing one car at my father’s house) and I am in no way wanting to sell any of my cars…. But I am jonesing for a 3rd gen Camaro. It may be time to buy a lift and start stacking cars 🤔
Thanks for the video and the trip down memory lane. Peace, love, mullets and hair metal. 🤟
That's awesome can't beat having an Iroc Z as a first car that's awesome!! What color was it? Getting a lift is a good idea provides room for more cars. I agree the decision let's you get a 3rd Gen camaro I recommend it lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms…it was silver with red decals. The car was totaled soon after I sold it. It was a first year IROC, in the rarest color, with the top performing engine option and a rare non T-top car from year with lowest IROC production. Shame it got recycled into soup cans.
@abolishwelfare oh really that's to bad the new owner totaled it that sucks, yeah that's definitely ashamed that was end of it especially with it being the first year of the Irocs as well
From Florida here. And yes. The weather is great. Love the car. Great watch
Ahhhh nice Florida that would be a great place to be. Haha it was -24 here yesterday evening and we had bunch of snow too. It Would definitely be nice to be out on golf course instead.

3rd gens have a soft spot in my heart this one will be fun to watch
Same here I definitely like my 3rd gens my 83 Camaro was pretty much the first car to get me into classic cars and Custom paintwork. Really looking forward to being able to do this one and the firebird over the winter should be great.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms no thanks needed my friend you have a solid channel I enjoy the content very much
Pretty good purchase you have there ! Glad you got that f body running ✌. I always wanted a silver and black 85 Iroc z28 my uncle used to have.. Those cars good acoustic for a sound system. By the way that vacuum brush hack you have worked like a charm when I was cleaning out my GMT400 suv the other day ✌
Thanks same here it was definitely a great find. Really glad I turned around and left a note on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh yeah for Acoustics for sound systems they sound great. My 83 Camaro had the box that Six Flag with the rear hatch and when you get the base bouncing off the glass it sounds really good. Awesome the brush hack for the vacuum works so much better than the Plastics
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. Hopefully you get a chance to pick up a silver and black 85 IROC camaro 👍🏻
Arizona here! It’s 65-70 degrees every day right now. But, we pay for it in the summertime. My first car was a red 85 Camaro, so great to see this one get a new life again!
Oh nice that sounds like great weather compared to out here lol. But I've seen some of the temperatures there in the summertime it definitely gets hot. Have to plan to take a trip down to Arizona sometime for a cruise I've never been to that area before it would make for a great road trip. Oh nice that's awesome my first car wasn't 83 Camaro lock to my friends in high school either had a 3rd gen Firebird or a 3rd gen Camaro. Awesome cars to have. I can't wait to tear into this one and get it torn down and ready for paint
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Excellent video as always, can't wait to see this f-body being restored to former glory.
Don't worry about the zed thing, here in EU we initially learn British English so it's also "zed" for me 😄 - and in my native language German it's "zett", which is close to "zed" as well :). It's winter time here as well now, close to 0°C, it's gonna snow soon...I used to like winter, but the older you get the less you like it 😄. I never liked hot weather either, so I enjoy spring and fall the most when it's around 15-20 °C.
Thanks I really appreciate that. Lol when I posted the video of the world's largest Trans Am Camaro and Firebird collection at David T's I had a lot of people in the comments saying hey it's not a Zed 28 camaro it's a Zee 28 haha so I thought I would throw that clip in there lol. Yeah I know exactly what you mean used to like winter as a kid now that I'm in my 30s I really don't have much use for it haha. I would definitely prefer a longer car show season and golf season now haha. Yeah we're going to get hit with snow and cold weather here right away too. And then it's going to probably last until about May LOL had to stock up on my winter projects with the 3rd gens I picked up lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Nice to see a new video. Looking forward to the body and paint phase of the project. A rich forest green with light gold ground effects would be sweet.
Same here I definitely cannot wait to get back to doing body work and paint on a project. Green and gold is such a good color combination. I painted a 1991 Caprice lowrider and a gold and Candy green color combination and it looked incredible when I was finished. Those color's go really well together. The greens really nice too because it stands out you definitely don't see too many of those ones around 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Always wanted a red 82-84 red z28 but black would look good 👍
I would love to build a replica of the first car I had back in high school which was in 83 sports coupe that I showed at the beginning of the video. I'm definitely saving the black paint for that one. This one I think would definitely look great in a red color for sure tons of really nice shades out there for red. I'm thinking it would go really nice with the tan interior
Thanks again for watching👍🏻
I really like your 83 the 83 z would be beautiful.but one idea is I like the 91 92 ground effects I always wanted to put the on a 82 - 84 Camaro
@roycervantes1341 I want 100% will be building a replica of my high school camaro on the channel. I recently just found the fiberglass hood scoops for it online. And after I found those I really got to thinking I have to make a replica of my high school car. Same here I really like that 90 to 91 RS ground effects kit with the Scoops I think it looks really good
I had a 83 z28, something about those earlier years on these 3rd gens the seats seem to hold up very well over time, super comfortable. Nice job man!
Thanks, yeah, this one was in really good shape. I think the only thing I would do is replace the lower seat foam. That's all the seats need. Really comfortable seats in this car though
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. What color was your 1983 Z28?
This gives me hope that reviving my 92 that's sat since 2020 is doable 🎉
@@csavage63 100% doable to get that 92 up and running again, I pulled a 91 Firebird out of the wrecking yard last summer it sat in the yard for at least 10 years. Got it running and driving with no keys and a Vats system and drove it out of there. These 3rd gens can be brought back to life

Leave it red, looks old school and cool. When I was 15 I got an 87 firebird and its maroon and gold. I originally hated the color but I grew to love it and I got the seats redone to be their original red. This car is badass and I love it

Hey, a red 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z28 305 5.0Liter V8 TPI With race homo-legation undercarriage and 5 speed manual Borg-Warner drivetrain with 4 diskbrakes owner here, Please keep her Red and by all means do not upgrade the engine (LS-swap or someting) because you will chew up your entire Borg-Warner drivetrain. If you must LS-Swap this Camaro, then swap out the entire drive train as wel, capable to handle the Horse power and Torque the LS in the end comes with. And please when you turn off the engine by key, the power really is off when you press down the key release button behind the key so you can turn the key all the way back so both arrows on the key/contact actually point to each other.... ask me how I know....
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with that Color combination Red/Silver I also will add the lower decals that should be on the car too. Me and my dad were recently out at the pick and pull and picked up a door and a fender for the camaro too. Now I have all the parts I needed to repaint this car and get it ready for the road again

Great video. My wife (girlfriend at the time) bought a brand new 1983 Camaro Z28, black with grey black interior. We live in the gta, just north of Toronto, Ontario. She didn’t drive it in the winter so it was mint and Was a good car. I sold it for her a few years later but we enjoyed it while she had it.
On nice that's awesome. That would have been a sweet car. Your located around that Vaughon area? I'm originally from Pembroke Ontario just outside of Ottawa. Lived there for the longest time. Can't believe there is more snow in that Toronto then there is here in Alberta.

I am thrilled to have discovered your show and the impactful mission you're undertaking. Reviving these cars and putting them back on the road, restored to their prime, represents the epitome of upcycling. We've embarked on a similar journey, having rescued a Jeep YJ from a scrapyard, meticulously restoring it, and then taking it a step further by electrifying it entirely! We've retained the original look and functionalities of this iconic vehicle, enhancing its power beyond its original capabilities.
The message you convey is exceptionally vital, especially in today's economic and environmental landscape. Salvaging these classic cars serves as a brilliant solution. Kudos to you! I have a deep affection for the z28 Camaro, and it's likely next on my list for restoration and electrification. Here's a brief video showcasing the inspiring story of our electrified Jeep. th-cam.com/video/rHe_osRXWZ0/w-d-xo.html
That's awesome hey welcome to the channel. I definitely can't wait to get to the body work and paint portion of these vehicles that's where you can see the biggest transformation come to life. That's awesome I will definitely go and take a look at your TH-cam channel there as well I just subscribed there this morning. Once I get a chance and I'm finished up work here today I'll sit down and I can watch that video👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Love this video, thanks for posting. Keep up the good work.
Thank you I greatly appreciate it. Really glad that I stopped in to find out if this car was for sale. Definitely cannot wait to get the body work and paint started on this 3rd gen project 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Awesome video/ Camaro, Yeee 😃
Definitely excited to start work on this Camaro when I get the chance it's going to make for a great project
I agree
Fun times bro 👍good pickup
Thanks I appreciate that this was definitely a great find. Really glad I decided to knock on the door and find out if it was for sale. It's definitely going to make for a great project can't wait to get the chance to start working on it.
@@fullyloadedkustoms I’m an OG guy I love the original red color. And it reminds me of the MASK cartoon series car thunder hawk
@jumpingeneral yeah I have been getting a lot of comments people are really liking the original red color on the Camaro👍🏻
I have always love this gen of cámaro.
Keep it red And grey.
I am in México and I really like what you do. Amazing
I definitely have always liked these gens of Camaros as well. My first car in high school was a 1983 Camaro sports coupe. Thanks I really appreciate that. Now that I got it running I can wait to strip it down and get it ready for paint.
gracias de nuevo por mirar y dejar tus comentarios. se agradece mucho 🙏🏻
@@fullyloadedkustomsI saw the pics of your high school 3rd gen. That was a beautiful car too....
@BDOML9101 hey thanks I tried to find that car recently but I found out It got crushed years ago. So I 100% plan on building a replica of that Camaro from high school on the channel. Here gonna be fun
Your ideas for color are great too
Thanks yeah the root beer candy color I've never seen done on a third gen Camaro before I definitely think it would stand out and go really well with that Tan interior
I had 2 of these, the engine sound is so memory envokeing, i had blazer tires on the back for winter. Love it red
Oh nice that's awesome what color were your Camaros that you had? A lot of people are definitely liking the original red color to it 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint color suggestion it's much appreciated
My 1st was a 82 z28 350/T350 trans, it was blue with grey skirts, it rotted away😞, my second was a 88 sport coupe with a 305/700r4,all rattle can black indy 500 hood, i had 387,000 miles on it when the engine blew😞, these cars schooled me on how to improvise, best sitting position for bad back ppl too its like a beach chair.
Awesome find my friend.my buddy had a 88 camaro back in high school in 92. we used to hop in it and ditch 1st period to go and get donuts.Im here in Arizona and its currently 50F and will warm up to 75 today. sending you warm thoughts brother. keep up the videos i really enjoy the time and effort you put in to them..
That's awesome ditching school to go do donuts. to me that sounds like the better option as well lol. Arizona weather is definitely sounding pretty good I bet they still have the golf courses open there too lol. Hey thanks that's greatly appreciated I definitely can't wait to get painting on one of these projects here. Almost ready to start the metal work on the 1980 Scottsdale I'm working on. After this week here I'm going to have some extra time to work on it finally lol my second job shuts down for the winter hahah.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻 what color was your buddy's 88 camaro?
I had a 1982. Z28 same color. It was a crossfire engine. Crashed it back in 2003. I like the one you have better. Yours doesn't have the Crossfire engine for 1. And yours has T-tops. Very nice. Red is the right color too. 😊👍
A lot of people are definitely loving the red and silver combination on this 83 Camaro. I might have to go with that color when I repainted here right away. Oh that's too bad about your Camaro hopefully you have a chance to pick up another one
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Maybe we can get a update video on all your 3 rd gens😃
Yeah I was thinking about doing that just before I posted on the truck series. That way I can kind of use that video as a poll to find out which car to paint after I'm finished up with the truck series either the 91 Firebird or that 83 Camaro. Thinking when I get back from the city I'm going to work on doing a quick video on the three of them. Before I post the first video on the truck series.
Looks great. Keep the red paint and add back in those Z28 decal stripes above the silver ground effects!
a lot of people are commenting to leave at the original Factory red color it definitely looks good on it with the silver ground effects kit
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestions it's much appreciated
Hey my friend just finished watching your video. Man you did a great job the car looks fantastic. I think the burgundy would look nice when you paint it.. Keep up the good work.
Hey thanks really appreciate that. Yeah seeing a burgundy color online with a tan interior and it looked so good together. Really got me thinking that it would look excellent on this Camaro👌🏻

@BNM0826 yeah haa I was at the wrecking yard picking up a bunch of body panels for the 91 firebird. I also picked up a door and a fender for this 83 Camaro at the Pick-n-Pull recently too. I've got about seven or eight videos worth of film done just have to sit down and edit it lol.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Oh, cool. Those camaros are hard to find down here. I'm more into the Pontiacs cause I had an 88 Trans Am. Good luck and looking forward to new vids.
Hey mate, got recommended your channel, nice work! I lived in Regina for a year or so which was cool. back in my native New Zealand now, you don't find cars like this!! if i'm honest , the root beer would be mint!
Oh nice yeah Regina is roughly about 7 hours from where I'm located. Nice my buddies been to New Zealand was showing me pictures from there that's beautiful country there. Same I was thinking that Rootbeer color would be sooo unique on the Camaro
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Nice looking car. Keep it red,and just spruce it up abit. Here in Florida, it is hot and muggy. That cool weather sounds really nice. More updates whenever you can
Thanks definitely lucked out with this one. Really glad I went and knocked on that where to find out if it was for sale. Hot sounds good muggy not as much lol. But I definitely would take hot and muggy and still be able to drive classic cars over parking them 6 months at a time lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Love your vid's....Just waiting & waiting to see ya fix some of these cars you get...Ya find some great one's...Hope to see some fixed & go out....
Hey thanks it's greatly appreciated. Right now I've currently got the 1980 Scottsdale in the garage that I recently did a Revival video on. I've got it pretty much torn down and ready to get the box off and start the metal work on it. Definitely looking forward to putting the Retro paint job back on the truck. And from there I will be either getting to this 83 Camaro or the 91 Firebird👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
You scored with this one. I would go back with the red color but if changing it definitely the burgundy of the same year Iroc series and maybe go with gold Iroc wheels as well.
Tuning in to see where you go with this one.👍
Love this man!! Thank you for bringing this beauty back to life! Keep up the great work! 🚗 💨
@keithcarlson7267 no problem, I was just out at the pick and pull the other day getting a door and a fender for this Camaro as well. Getting it all ready to repaint it

Awesome car! I just got my 82 T/A Up and running, they’re very fun cars to work on. My recommendation is to keep it original.
There's definitely been lots of comments on here about keeping the Camaro the original color. It definitely looks good with the silver ground effects kit. Oh that's awesome. What color is your 82 trans am? Awesome here its back up and running
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I think you said in your clip that it was October up there and I'm getting the video kind late adds to the whole Halloween vibe as your crank and the light's flickering. And there's dust flying up and everything else. Pretty cool. Erecting it from the dead..
Yesh I think it was around the 26th of October when I finished filming up this video for the channel. Haha it really does add to that Halloween theme bringing it back from the dead
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I always loved those in the electric blue.. and the tan interior would look great with the blue.
100% the Factory blue colors that I've seen on these Camaros look fantastic, and they go really nicely with the body style.
Thanks again for watching leaving your paint suggestion much appreciated👍🏻
I am so glad I live in Florida, feel so bad for you. I cannot function in extreme cold or heat but can handle the heat a lot better than the cold, anything below 50 degrees farenheit is to cold for me. Great video.
Hey thanks I appreciate that. Florida would be fantastic to be in can definitely get used to all the humidity in the heat out there. Plus being able to golf more than 3 months out of the year LOL. Yeah it's about to dip into some cold weather right here right away going to be locked up in my shop here until May LOL. I've never been to Florida before. I'm going to have to take a road trip down there see what kind of cars I can find along my way

@@fullyloadedkustoms Florida is a beautiful place to live, if you want land north Florida is affordable. I don’t know how much the real estate prices are in Canada but many people sell their properties up north and buy houses cash down here because of the price difference. I wish you well in your endeavors .
Would love to see the brown with gold accents. Red has been done to death but just seeing it redone will be awesome. Really enjoying your content.
Yeah same here I don't think I have ever seen one done in a root beer candy before. My Buddy Rich back home has a 1984 Trans Am done in an orginal brown metallic that looks really good. And that root beer candy and gold accents would look extremely well together👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
My first car was a 1983 camaro Z28. beige with a brown bottom. I bought it in 1994 and still have it. But now its 1997 ford thunderbird pacific green.
Oh nice that's awesome to still have. Your first car after all these years that's amazing that makes for such great memories. I am 100% going to build a replica of my 1983 Camaro I had in high school on the channel
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I like the root beer colour idea. That would match perfectly with the interior. Love the content you put out for our enjoyment!
Hey thanks I really appreciate that. Definitely going to have some more videos out here over the winter. I've got one week left on the farm and my second job shuts down here for the winter. Should give me more chances get some more TH-cam videos out. That's what I'm thinking is the root beer color candy would definitely stand out and give it a unique look. Another viewer gave me the part number of another root beer candy that's a bit lighter from Tamko. And that lighter root beer color candy would look really good too.

Candy apple red would look awesome. Awesome find makes me jealous lol.
Hey thanks I appreciate that. Yeah this is definitely a really great find I'm happy I turned the truck around and decided to knock on the door to see if they were selling it. The candy apple red definitely will have a great look to it. Especially the sunlight it just brings out all the body lines in the car in the sun flop on the paint.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Charcoal grey...btw,GREAT FIND, GREAT JOB ! The only thing I would do is, take the rear spoiler off the Camaro and put on a wing like the one on the Trans am...OR same yr as the camaro.
Hey thanks I appreciate that, it was definitely a great find to come across this Camaro. Glad I stopped and knocked on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh that's a cool idea I don't think I've seen that done before

Noice👌keep the red or if it was due a complete colour change a nice yellow
Yeah I'm liking the red color on it the red looks pretty nice. There's a few red colors that I was looking at for it already. A yellow color will be definitely different don't see too many of those around Ferrari has a amazing metallic yellow PPG color. I also do like that old school pale kind of yellow too that you would see in a lot of mid 60s cars.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I have an 87 Z28 and it was red like yours and I got side swiped on the passenger side door and fender and my body guy who was supposed to be my friend talked me into painting it Viper blue because he owned a couple of them and gave me a break on the paint. My interior is black cloth seats . Long story short, I wished I had left it pull me over red 😂!!! Although that maroon looked pretty nice too. Your call sir. Another third gen back on the road. Awesome 👍🏻!!!
Ahh that sucks that's what happend to my 83 Camaro I had in high school. Guy side swiped me too. Yeah that red is definitely an attention grabbing color Lora of people have left suggestions to go back to that color

I did and me and my dad built mine together. Looking to find mine or one like it. Mine was identical to the one in this video

Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Fellow canuck here...just found your channel, subbed and gave ya a like. Love the 3rd gens, specifically the 89 IROC... If it were mine, I would paint her dark charcoal metallic, which would look nice with the lower grey silver trim package it has. Look forward to watching your past vids and future content... oh ya...its " Zed " 28..not Zeeee...LOL
Awesome thanks I greatly appreciate that 👍🏻 what part of Canada? I will definitely have a bunch of 3rd gen content coming out along with other f-body Camaros and Firebirds Trans Ams as well. Once I'm finished up the 1980 Scottsdale. Dark Charcoal Metallic would look great on that car. I knew a guy back in high school who had an 85 in that color combination looks really good. Haha exactly Zed 28 lol that's what I've always called it lol
"zed" sounds fine to me (being from the UK lol), always loved the Camaros. Great video as always 😎👍
Perfect haha when I posted the video of the world's largest Trans Am Firebird and Camaro yard I had a lot of people saying hey it's not zed 28 it's zee28 hahha so I thought I would toss that clip in there LOL
Hey this ones in much better shape than the last one. Or two or three okay it's in the best shape IMHO. LOL. Great find for s Saskatchewan car!
Yeah this Camaro is in fantastic shape. A lot of these that have been able to find are in pretty good shape with very minimal rust. Good thing for the dry climate we got out in this area in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Had this been in Ontario car she might have rusted in half already with all the salt down there haha. But this one's going to make for a solid project can't wait to tear into it.
I hope it's for sale for a good price when you are done with it it's beautiful
what I was thinking about doing with it. Was running it through a raffle that way people would have the chance to win it. I was thinking would be a cool idea.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Raffle is a good idea I'm ready when you are ready please let me know if you do a raffle I will be glad to try to win it my name is Kevin thanks
@kevinturner1104 Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. Raffle is a pretty good idea, and it gives people a pretty fair chance to win the car. And not have to spend a ton of money for the opportunity to win it.
Great find. I am from California. I have two camaros, one iroc and a 95 Z28 paint it what color you like. As for me, I would paint it black with the lower ground effects in gold .keep up the great work 👍
Oh nice California would be the place to be. Haven't been down to that area definitely have to take a road trip once I have one of these cars back on the road would definitely for a great time. That's awesome the black and the gold combination would look really good together👍🏻 what color are the two Camaros that you have now?
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Great video, keep up the awesome work. It hasn't been that cold here in Alabama 😊😊😊
Hey thanks much appreciated 👍🏻 nice I've never been down to that area before it would be great to take a road trip see what kind of cars I could come across in the Alabama area.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Paint it deep red/burgundy. Possibly keep the bottom silver, but use a vibrant silver if you do that.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up painting this either the red or burgundy. There have been a ton of comments in the comment section to keep it the original red color
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustomsThe original red would look fine, but personally I'd choose a more exciting shade.
Either way paint it how you want.
I hope you keep it, Red. I always hated the 2 tones. I'd paint the trim red, too!
Lots of People are loving the orginal Red color. I'm the same way I think it would be better suited to be all red. Would definitely give it a good look
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I’m from Ontario and Canadian tire or “Newfie Speedsport” is always the go-to for parts. They have a wide selection of everything now especially on weekends. Any thing from dealerships is going to require you mortgaging your home.
I have quite a few jobber parts store here that I get most of my parts from and princess auto and TSC is another good place to get stuff from.
Ohh nice what part of Ontario? I'm originally from Pembroke Ontario. I've been out in Alberta for the past 15 years there now. I'm hoping to be able to go back home in the summertime and set up a big car show down there. Just trying to work stuff out with the city to find all the details on a car show event before I plan anything. We have a lord co auto parts and parts source out here I normally go to. Except they are 3 hours away in Edmonton 😆
I had a 3rd gen camaro forget what year it was but I will say this it was so fun to drive I loved driving it in my opinion it was dam well built car had 200,000 miles but ran like a dream was well taken care off too I feel In love with it had t tops whole nine yards unfortunately I had to get rid of it had the money but not the time to do what I wanted too with it I always said it was my dream car one of them and one day I'm gonna buy another one deff keep it red love to see you restore this car.
100% these cars are fun to drive they get tons of looks and lots of people have great memories in them too. I'm definitely glad I turned around and decided to stop and ask if this car was for sale. What color was the 3rd gen Camaro that you had? Hopefully, you get the chance to get yourself another one to cruise in.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
A nice medium dark metallic copper colour would look great on that body style and goes well with the interior.
I've had a few comments now suggesting copper color. I recent came seen that on a 3rd gen Trans Am looks really good on these cars.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
You found a good investment. For this car I would say go on a road trip. Someplace that is warm. Highlight everything mechanical that you think, would need to be done on the car that can at least survive a1500 mile road trip. Go after creature conforts inside the car, like new seats. And outside, like rear suspension upgrades if need be. Maybe even buying a professionally made hitch and towing a trailer in an 83 Camaro :) Get rid of the crusty IROC wheels and go 16x8 OEM replacement wheels. Basically, just demostrate that these cars can still function and have purpose.
Yeah this is a really good car I picked up. I ended up purchasing the Camaro for $1,500 Canadian which works out to about $1100 usd. My plan for either this one or my 91 Firebird is to build and restore it and then drive it across Canada in the spring so that I'm able to help my younger brother paint his 87 Cutlass and also throw a big car show in my hometown of Pembroke Ontario at the same time. I think the rough distance would be about 2600 miles. To go from where I live in Alberta to Pembroke Ontario. It would definitely make for a great series. I would be redoing all the seat foam interior carpets new paint job exhaust rims and tires and try to keep each build in a lower bracket budget that's easily affordable for most people.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Wow. You got some cool free led lighting for the car.
I feel like I got a great deal on the LEDs Top Notch quality they barely cracked apart when I pulled them out of the car lol
Burnt orange with black I had a 95 transam that color I miss that car it had a Chevy 350 badass in my book good luck
I think I've seen that orange color you're talking about that would have been on those 90s Trans Ams that's a really nice color. Definitely would have stood out for sure. Hope you get a chance to pick another one up there

A friend of mine just bought 2 third gens..1 is supposed to be an 85 Iroc Z28 305 auto.and the other is supposedly an 87 RS 2.8 5 speed,converted from auto, with an 82 or 83 nose on it...
Ohh nice that's awesome I recently just came across a 86 Iroz Z sitting in a wrecking yard I'm hoping to pick it up and rebuild it as long as the VIN number rolls back OK to rebuild and it was decommissioned. What color are your friends camaros? The one I was looking at was a blue color I think it's identical to my.91 Firebird
That sure looks VERY familiar, I had a 1983 Z28 a couple years ago, canadian car as well so no computer control, no AC, TH200C, red on silver, but it had no option and base interior in charcoal. It had the funny clock in the center console you got if you didn't order a radio. It was so basic it didn't have rear speakers or even the openings for them in the rear panel, and no antenna hole in the fender either. Sweet car, not fast but a simple lovely cruiser.
Oh nice that's right on so you pretty much had the identical looking car that's cool. Yeah exactly it would make for a great Cruiser. I would really like to redo this Camaro or the 91 Firebird over the winter time and take one of those two. And drive it across Canada which is roughly 2600 miles to my hometown in Pembroke Ontario and help my younger brother paint his 87 Cutlass in the spring. Would definitely make for a great road trip and would also help my younger brother good also get my family in some more TH-cam videos would make for a great time

First off, I love your F body videos. I myself love the F bodies, as I bought a '97 Firebird Convertible last Feb. EXCELLENT shape, loved the driving season this yr but sadly she is in my storage unit now till April. It's cold now in IA, USA and we had 2" of snow here Saturday. Oh well.....keep it up, best wishes!!!
Hey thanks greatly appreciated. That is awesome what color is your 97 Pontiac firebird? Oh that sucks to hear that it is getting snow over there in Iowa. I'm sure the snow and really cold weather is going to be on its way here to Alberta right away too haha. It always is lol. I'm very glad I stocked up on 3rd gen projects for the winter here lol.

Insurance payed for entire paint,couldn’t risk not matching paint,agent was a in racing & wrenching part time 😁,you did a great job
Yeah definitely looks to have been sprayed probably within the last 10 to 15 years I would have to guess nothing's really flaking off it yet. It's good possibility that's maybe what has happened. I'm definitely going to find out once I start sanding on and see how many different colors it might be.

Thanks I really appreciate that. Oh nice right on if you were in the Air Force and had trips up to Canada you must have been up to Cold Lake Alberta for Maple flag? I was getting a few comments here from people in the UK too who said that the English they use it's pronounced Zed as well.

@fullyloadedkustoms Never been to Alberta. Twice as a kid to Brockville, Ontario as my dad was also Air Force and assigned to a Radar Site in Upstate New York and once while I was in to London, Ontario for their Airshow.
@bernardowens1648 oh nice Brockvilles a nice area. Im orginal from Pembroke which is right beside Base Petawawa. Out here in Cold Lake they have I think the largest air force base in Canada. They have a training program every year called maple flag and it brings in Air Force from all over the place.
@fullyloadedkustoms Brockville was the "Sister-Town" to Watertown, NY and the golf courses at both towns hosted yearly tournaments where golfers from both towns would travel to each other's courses to play. And, my dad took our family to a nice restaurant there for Mother's Day in 1968.
I'm jealous. A few years ago, I bought an '87 IROC but it ended up being more rusted out than I thought and is now a parts car for my '86 sport coupe. Wish I had waited and bought something like what you got in MUCH better shape.
Anxious to see what you do to it. I'd also keep it red, personally, even though I am partial to Metallic Blue.
I actually just came across a 86 Iroc yesterday I'm 100% considering picking that car up to build it's in pretty good shape. And at $600 Canadian I don't think you can go wrong there. This 86 I found I would love to paint it a metallic Blue color

Wow my favorite third gen hunter just got a new project! Nice you got a set of keys this time, if you need an assistant give me a call 😀I enjoyed every minute of this video from start to finish. I would paint this beautiful Z28 with a Ferrari red color; an hope you can continue your Firebird project soon, keep up the good work.
Having keys is such a a great way to start off a project. The last time I bought a vehicle that had a set of keys with it was back in 2014 haha. Definitely been a while, glad you enjoyed the video. That would be pretty sweet to be able to get help on some of these projects. I've been telling my younger brother from Ontario to move down and help me out build some cars lol. There's definitely some really nice Ferrari PPG colors that would look great on this. They have a tri-stage red color that I really like. I'm just heading down to the city there today to pick up a 700R4 transmission for the 91 Firebird. Last weekend I also picked up a turbo Trans Am hood for it as well.

Hey thanks thats much appreciated 👍🏻Oh yeah I try and get up to Princess Auto as often as I can when I'm down in the city either Calgary or Edmonton or lloydminster. Princess Auto is to go to shop. I'd be there every day if it wasn't 3 hours from me lol. I know when I lived in Calgary that's where I was pretty much all the time.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Ohh she got the boom booms in her! I have my Maui blue firebird formula resting for the winter myself.
Yeah this one was all decked out with the sound system amp and subwoofer. Would be nice if it has the Box that sits flush with the back hatch. Oh nice that's awesome Maui blue is a fantastic looking color. The 88 Firebird I recently picked up under the black rattle can spray paint is Maui blue such a nice looking color👌🏻 how long have you had that Firebird for?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciate it🙏
I can’t believe you scored such a great car right off the bat! Everything worked and you really didn’t have to do much to get it driving again. Good for you! My first choice would be the original color, if not, then the color of the Iroc that you showed us. I hope you show us the actual painting part, that would be cool.
Exactly I was really surprised with this car. I picked it up for $1,500 Canadian which is roughly $1100 usd. It didn't really take much to get it driving.
Yeah I've definitely got a lot of comments that people like the original red color on the car. It definitely stands out for sure. I will be doing an entire paint series on this Camaro from start to finish. I'll probably break the videos down into 4 parts
1) vehcile tear down
2) body work primer
3) paint /clear coat wet sand polish
4)reassemble/ final product
Is kinda what I'm thinking definitely can't wait to get the paint fun in my hand to paint it that's for sure 👍🏻

I think the red on silver looks great.
I've definitely been getting lots of comments. There's a lot of people out there that like the original red with the silver ground effects kit on it👍🏻 just might have to paint this car back to that original red
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
black and gold:) like Smokey and the Bandit 🤠
I've seen a couple 3rd gen Camaros that are painted in a black and gold scheme and have the gold style Iroc rims on them they look pretty Sharp and would also match that tan interior really well too
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's much appreciated👍🏻
I would repaint it the same color but I would jerk that 305 out and put a small block 400 in it. It would bolt right up with minimal change.
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll be going back with the Red and the silver on this Camaro and adding the Z28 graphics stripes too. Small block 400 would make for a nice touch in this car 👍🏻

From the US, just say Zed lol always make these videos better seeing canadans or austrailians, Japanese or whatever the person may be, enjoy the cars we have standard since its usually the other way around lol
Haha perfect that's what I've always called it lol only because the letter by its self is Zed. But I have no idea why in Canada its pronounced Zed and its Zee in the US. Like how ridiculous would Zedbra sound lmao.

Man that was a good find, I want me one !
This was definitely a great find I was able to pick this up for $1500 Canadian too. I've got my eyes on another 84 Z28 to pick up in the spring time as well

Just found your channel on a revival video binge. Being from Texas, it's weird to see a near fully loaded car with no A/C, also odd to see no cruise control or power locks on a car with all the options, back in the day when you could pick and choose your options. Lastly, Ricky would be proud of the first hood prop.
Yeah, it's weird in this area of Canada. There are a lot of classic vehicles that don't have the AC option. I would be assuming it's because the summertime it doesn't get overly hot and unbearable with the heat out here. Haha, perfect making Ricky proud haha

The dark red maroon color with gold color trim in headlight areas and rockers Trim and also in hood scoop area . I had a 1984 that way way nice
Oh nice the Dark Maroon color with Gold Highlights and a tan interior would be a really nice combination to have on this car it would look really good. I bet that 1984 camaro looked really nice 👌🏻

@@fullyloadedkustoms I wish I had a picture of it to show you. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I would love to see another one like it.
Paint it up like your High school Car. I liked the flames..
I'm 100% building a replica of my high school Camaro on the channel. I found the hood scoops for it online and know how to airbrush the flames now too. But this time around that cars gonna need something like a 383 Stroker in it. Give it the horse power it never had
