I really like this color green, its subtle but very nice...

[@loucostabile]

Happy to read you enjoy the color of this car :-)

[@mikesilveria8207]

I had a70 1/2 Z28 in high school all the way up until early nineties. It wasn't a rally sport and it had the same spoiler you have.. the small spoiler was on all the way up to early 71❗ I miss that car. yours is beautiful ‼️

I had its twin back in the 70s. One of my lifes regrets was having to sell it. Mine had a swapped L78 396. Beautiful car, I've been looking for another for 30 years.

My heart is palpitating as I watch this.I am trying to find my '71 rs/z28,Antique Green,unlikely to be successful so I guess I will have to be satisfied with youtube vids! Beautiful car.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Alan, Happy read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Hope you're behind the wheel of the right car for you soon, Lou

[@johnmilner7603]

The 1 piece spoiler was still avail in 1971 which came std on the Z28 and the 3 piece spoiler was an option. I bought a 71 Z28 in 1975 and it came with the 1 piece. I bought my 70 Z28 in 1981 and still own it today.

[@ckelley63]

Always thought the 1 piece was a better looking spoiler

[@loucostabile]

Hi XXTROB, Glad you like the car and the color :-) Hope you get you're soon, Lou

You filmed another gem Lou, another one of my favorites! I always admired the 70 z/28. Always wanted one, the dark green paint, RS option, 4 speed, deluxe interior, this car has it all! I am glad this one has been restored and preserved so well.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Robert Smith, We have a Winner :-) Glad to read this is one of your favorites that has it all :-) Lou

'70 Z28 has the gas pedal attached to floor ---this one looked official from what I could see.

My buddy had a 1970.5 SUPER SPORT for a while till it was stolen never to be seen again so sad. Off the line he would take my 1970 GTO he had 3.73 gears posi mine was 3.23 open diff but after I would get traction I was gone nothing like a Poncho 400 engine oh the good old days.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Joe Kleffner, Congratulations on getting started on your 70 Z28, and I want to encourage you to complete your project, and enjoy the process, even when it gets tough. Hope it comes out exactly the way you'd enjoy, Lou

[@supercamario]

Nice car! The one piece spoiler was standard on the 70 and did come on some early orders in 71.Whats with the poor hood alignment?

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one and think it's nice Mario D (other then the hood alignment) Thank you for viewing and sharing, and I hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou

[@leosun8469]

Nice car, but it’s interesting that it doesn’t have any of the original Rally Sport bright trim on it- top of the doors into the hood, lower rocker trim. Strange that it’s a RS Z/28 with Deluxe Interior, but radio delete and no center console. Missing the chrome Camaro emblem on the hood too. I wonder if he has the original intake?. Still- bitchin’ Camaro.

I hope that Chevrolet uses this body style in a next generation Camaro design.

[@loucostabile]

HI MrGeeMan1980, That would be cool :-) Lou

[@rightlanehog3151]

Imagine, a Camaro that you can actually see out of.

[@loucostabile]

Nice! :-)

[@prettyboiijayy__]

Actually the new 6th Gens have some cues from this gen with the Open grille and Body.

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Fragile J naah

[@joelhockett8137]

I had a 71 z/28 with the original 1 piece spoiler. The 3 piece was an option at that point! I think? The car also had the wide accelerator pedal that bolted to the floorboard and only seen a couple on early second gen cars guess they might have been carried over like spoilers from the 70 model? Anyone have any in put

@@loucostabile that's how you get a chevy 383... a 0.030 overbore and the crank out of a 400 small block because it has a longer stroke than a 350 crank.

Will cost you less in the long run and probably brings more enjoyment.

[@M21L35]

No such thing as a "radio delete" option. Alleged gearheads need to stop perpetuating this misinformation. You ordered a radio.....or you didn't! When you didn't opt for a radio, its place in the dash was filled by a block-off plate.

[@loucostabile]

Hi M20L35, This is not Car & Driver review Channel with exact dyno tested horse power and torque stats. This Channel is where the Care Taker / Owners of a car shares with you the Viewer why they've bought the car they enjoy. Yes, you're right, clearly no radio, and you're right, a block-off plate, and here is the important question for you. Did you like this car? Lou

[@rickmalone411]

M20L35 Very interesting! 1983, and I had just earned my license and could drive out to a underclassman that was always running his mouth about his father's 70 SS Camaro. Like everything I could've imagined, he in-deed was the original owner and parked it after getting married then finding out his new bride was with child. 11,700 miles back then and it was a dark metallic maroon/cherry color. It was not the high horsepower 375/396, but a 350hp, which surprisingly wasn't called out on the air cleaner lid? Anyways, he ordered this car without radio and any striping and it was supposed to be light green, but came in this way so he trailered it home. Yep. Corsello Chevrolet in Bellevue PA AND IT ARRIVED IN February and the roads were bad. Awesome car that he wouldn't part with, that is until a Chapter 7 Judge was auctioning the car and guess who was there, (mind you this was1994 and "I" had my second child coming, lol) ME. It was actually only two of us, the other being his brother in law. My limit was 21k and as you can imagine, he paid 22k! I hear that he still has the car... I hope no one cut up that dash?!?!

[@LouisMPissiosPC]

Hey Ric. You are right. If you didn't order a radio they put that plate in the hole. However, everyone calls it a "radio delete plate" - even the parts book(s). If I am an "...Alleged gearhead..." well then so be it. I won't lose a minute of sleep over your judgment of me.

[@danvorobiov]

I thought that "radio delete" was an option for minimizing weight - because you will have no radio (which was quite heavy), no speakers (quite heavy as well) and no wires for radio and speakers (which you will have if you just not order radio). Or am I wrong? Great car by the way!
