1980 Camaro Z28: Parked for 22 YEARS! Will it Run & Drive Home?

[@ronbiggin7861]

I have driven past that car hundreds of times to and from work. Glad you guys have it. Keep the fun ones coming.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks! That’s really cool you are local! We ended up with a few other cars from that collection as well, we will have those videos up at some point.

This was my uncles car! So happy to see some life given back to it 🙏🏻

That's really cool, we are glad we were able to get it back going again.

[@thagerdorn2009]

My favorite color combo on my favorite Camaro. 80-81 are my favorite. As you can see by my profile picture, i have a white with blue stripes 80 Z28 that we bought in 94 and have owned since. Its my baby, so when i saw this video pop up i got super excited.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thanks for watching! That’s a very clean car! Love it!

[@jandmjones]

Early and late second gen Camaros are my favorite. Used to own a cherry '81, maroon with gold stripes but sold it to buy a house 25 years ago. Glad you guys are bringing it back to life!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you! I bet that was a beautiful car!

[@davidbryant5875]

I do body and paint work. I would put back the same colors and same color z28 decals back on it. Thing was sick back in the day

Exactly my first car! The smogged 350 was short on horsepower but torque made it fun. Lots of good memories hunting the junkyards with my dad for parts to fix it up. Great video and happy to be a new subscriber!

That's really cool! Daniel has been tuning on it to give it a little more power, it felt really bogged down and after making some quick adjustments it's better than it was. Thank you!

[@matthewbrown2310]

I had to change my fuel pump at work and used a parts store refurbished pump. The next week it blew the seal that it crimped into the body of the pump and siphoned the gas tank that was full. Luckily someone in the parking lot had a pair of vice grip they loaned me to get the line pinched off. Went with a new AC delco after that. Net time it will be an Edelbrock upgrade.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Unfortunately it seems to take 2-3 parts store pumps to get a good one these days.

[@justinwymer7700]

I want to restore a Z28 in similar shape parked for 30 years. Motor said to be blown. loved the video. May need donor car, also I live in the rust belt. great content!

[@Paul-wv6cj]

I used to own a 1980 Z28 in high school. It was built! I loved that car and miss it to this day! Some fat bastard coming out of a buffet in Spokane side swiped me totalling the car. I kept it for years in a garage and finally had to sell it when I bought my lake home at 26. I miss that car so much!

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Super cool! That's a bummer the car got totaled!

[@victorrobinson7008]

Road trip too Wal-Mart for some 1500 grit sandpaper and a case of white krylon spray paint if your on a budget !

[@Toystorations]

That thing looks ready to go car camping in. When I did mine for the Power Tour, I put some Bilstein B6's on it all around, and it got me through the Tail of the Dragon and was still comfortable. WIX Fuel Filter - 33482 off of an 1984 Corvette is a great in-line filter that I'd highly recommend. I've also heard the 1981 Brake Booster and Master Cylinder is an improvement to the older ones, might want to look into that if you end up putting more time into it. Another thing I would do is inspect that driver side seat rail, the driver's seat will throw you out of the car while you're driving. Also double check that lower grill, they fall off easily and are near impossible to replace. You'd probably have a lot of luck selling it on NastyZ28, the 2nd gen forums.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

We remember a guy we met in the Planet Fitness parking lot during Power Tour that was in a Camaro that did that; not sure if that was you we talked to or not. The seat rails in this one are roasted and need to be replaced. We may look into the brake booster/master cyl deal, this one doesn't work. Thanks for all the info!

[@HelvisCamaro]

The seatbelt may be loose when harnessed bc that was an option and 1981 was the last year for that option. Meaning, when harnessed you could double pull the seatbelt and it would lock in place with slack in the seatbelt.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

We will try that and see what happens.

Great fun Great car and you guys are GREAT! Isn't that G.....Grand?? LOL. Hey I notice that as I check out some of your older vids (I enjoy them thank you!) That many times a car gets pulled out or made to run etc then we never see the car again. I understand that you definitely can't keep most of them but I just wish we knew a bit more sometimes as to "What happened to the Fairmont or the Gremlin etc. (I'm just throwing the names of cars I noticed in the video choices I really am not trying to find out about those models in particular). Thanks again.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Thank you!! That is a good point that we should give an update on them. We have a "build/YT row" at the shop that has a handful of vehicles we've kept that we want to do more with (Blue RR, Mercedes 450SLC, Valiant, Pontiac Firebird). Then we have our personal fleet of "daily drivers" (Shop Truck, Rambler, IHC, Saab, GMC Van, etc). Some of the others ended up being sold before we did anything else to them. Sometimes we just pick up vehicles when we see them within our budget and if we get something better months down the road we will sell some of the vehicles we aren't as fond of to put the money into the builds we are more excited about. Between the two of us we have close to 60 vehicles.

@ResurrectedGarage I'm not sure but I know the property backs up to I 85 right before you cross over the bridge to go into SC you can see some of the cars through the trees. I know it belongs to a man named Dean but I don't know his last name. He has a few vehicles in Anderson SC too. I believe you can get to it from exit 177 and then the first rd you come to on the left. I seen it on an episode of barn find hunter. Too and it . He said he was selling the vehicles.

[@Daniel_z28]

maaaaan you didnt even check ATF and steering fluid befor you start the car. just after you found out the engine is not locked up change the oil for gods sake, everytime you crank it with old expired and black oil you are cracking a crank shaft bearings. You even reeeev it up!!!... i cant belive it man!! next time pull out coil plug after using fresh oil and fuel crank it to turn the oil pump to build up some pressure and lub everything.

[@ResurrectedGarage]

Our 1977 F150 Shop truck we’ve had since we were 15 years old and did a similar resurrection on; we are 31 now and still using the truck. We’ve put a lot of hard miles on it going to shows and delivering cars cross country. For us it’s keeping up with the maintenance and staying on top of issues as they arise instead of letting them go. We did a 64 Rambler a few months back that we got running and drove it home three hours from a show. Daniel is very in tune to what vehicles are doing and fixing the problems. We’ve had better luck with our old vehicles than anything new. That’s why most of our personal vehicles are all old. We work on newer customer vehicles during the day and see too many vehicles failing with major problems before reaching 100k.
