POV Driving 1980 Z28 Camaro

[@Just4Taco]

Beautiful car. Wish I had this car to show off at my high school. Maybe one day I can own one.

[@zahemi914]

Always love the car from this era, love the front & tail light, so subtly fierce yet sporty enough. Dreamt of owning one when watching Kris Monroe driving the convertible version in Charlie's Angels, S5, the Hawaiian episodes..

[@MetismanInBC]

I had a '80 Z-28, white with the blue trim back in the mid to late 80's. I absolutely loved that car. It had the automatic trans and I used to love to see the little induction flaps open when I really hit it. That car flew on the highway and I will admit that I did leave a few black patches on the roads as well. I was in my 20's so, ya, whatever. The gas mileage was almost bad enough to warrant towing a gas pump behind me, though, so I finally decided I had to give her up. I t was a very sad moment in my life to watch her go. I wish I still had that car. It was in great shape when I had her.

[@Frame_Junky]

80 z28s hardly came with horsepower to do anything with

[@MetismanInBC]

@@Frame_Junky True, but if you added a cam it really beefed up the HP. The guy that owned my Z-28 before me did just that. It was an awesome vehicle.

[@mariosion]

This car is awesome! White with blue accents is nice on here. While my favorite z28 is the 1969 z28, this one is still nice looking, love the z28 side banners on this version.

[@AGPullen]

My mom had an '80 Z28 4pd, Carnival Pearl white with the tri-tone red stripes. She was looking for a white and blue one like this but found the other one first. I've owned a '78 Type LT with factory 350/TH350 and an '81 Sport Coupe with a 6.6 400/TH400. Some day I'll get an '80-'81 Z28 with a stick, it's been my dream car since I saw pics of the one my mom had. Sad to hear yours is getting parked for a while but at least you still have it! Take care of her man!

[@allen2w1]

Amazing

[@Alexi7666]

Loved this car when it came out. Best I could do in those go-go 70s-80s was a '77 TransAm with the Olds 403 motor, automatic and 2.41 axle. Last Pontiac on the lot, got it for under sticker($6400 back then). Great highway cruiser. Decent fuel mileage(18-19 mpg) on trips.

[@cardiffchris]

Memories that others can only dream of.

[@user-dw2tm3jm5h]

Bought an 81 Z28 base model 4 speed 40k miles in 83 $6500. Still have it..

[@johndrake2729]

Blue and white, love it!

[@RomVlad]

Love your car. I can tell you from experience, don't ever sell it, you will never forgive yourself. Oh, but if you ever decide you want to sell lol.... I'm looking for a 4-speed Z28- hard to come by.

[@Malachi4DaWin]

Nice old school ride!

[@gregorymcgraw3681]

Shes Beautiful, Great shape. Nice Chevy brother 💯

[@chrisbond6056]

I like the old-school look myself everybody's going and putting these newer Motors in and big wheels I like the old look myself wide tires the back raked up 350 with a 4-speed the way it was in 79 that's the way I like them nice ride man

[@moliverz]

Great car, I'm building a 79 4-speed can now. Updating to a 6.0 LS motor and a T56 6-speed. The car is Carmine now and I'm thinking about changing the color

[@rprovasoli]

seeing this makes me miss my 81 with blue stripes and t tops

[@lilsparkyy]

Love it, my favs tho are the 76 SS Z28 and the 79 Z28 Camaro

[@ph1sts]

The z28 was discontinued during the '75-'76 model years and the second gen models never had an SS version...only the RS up to '78.

[@bserge7452]

😂😂 76 Z28. Doesn't exist bro. Look it up🧐 no Z28 in 75 nor 76.

[@Damonslayton-nc2lp]

Smooth ride brotha that sucker moves

[@jerrygoad3093]

Love this gen camaro i'm actually working to buy one for my first car would you recommend it?

[@Tomtom62]

I love it,, a shitload of memories....

[@brettservin4395]

Uncle at the time had the exact same car and color!

[@brettservin4395]

I'm wondering if that's the same car. I live in Colorado. My uncle at the time does too! Interesting. If so this car is the reason I love camaros!

[@ivanr5436]

Love the car! She sounds great.

I used to own that exact same car, same color, brand new condition etc....that is until that fateful rainy night i hopped a curb and smashed through some guys fence. I am still crying...

[@culcune]

@@mowowie I take it you couldn't get out of taking blame by spray-painting it and insinuating your rivals did it?

[@maxmotta1200]

My first car when I was 16 in 1982

[@bronzewarriorcamaro]

Looks like fun to me! Thanks

[@DCT97]

Why is it so hard to find a late 70s - early 90s Camaro with a manual transmission

[@paultomow7657]

Be honest I would enjoy 1970s to 1980 Camaros they had the looks and muscles behind them

[@jamesprice2163]

Pulling up on the Audi and just knowing "yeah I'm cooler than you'll ever be" is one of the reasons I want a Camaro exactly like this literally the only thing id change is put ansen sprint wheels on it but even the ones on it are great

[@chrisbond6056]

Nice love it ....

[@randywalker8960]

I bought a 81 white z new, maybe some day I’ll find another to restore..

[@67scout73]

Great car and great vid. I was that spoiled kid whose Dad bought a brand new 1979 Z for high school graduation. I lived it, and drove the snot out of that car.

[@thebacdoc6464]

Same here...lol

[@thebacdoc6464]

Sounds great, seems faster than a stock 190 HP 80 Z28. I love the four speeds too. I noticed the air induction vents didn't open up, are they in-opt? I know that was a big selling point for that year. I had three 79 Camaro Z28s myself( between 1980-1986), two four speeds, and one automatic with headers. The four speeds seemed faster off the line. My buddy had a fully loaded t top 4 SPD, 80 Z28. I absolutely loved it.

[@orderofmagnitude-TPATP]

I'm from the UK- although never owned a camaro (only 67 thunderbird 20 year ago) both we like the Camaro so much; we named our daughter Camaro. Wanted a car name for her porsche and Mercedes are awful girl names

[@jerryrichardson987]

Nice car. Put the right wheels on it and it would be a really nice car.

[@allen2w1]

I have the N90's (original 15in honeycomb's) but grew up watching second gens on circle track running blacked out steels and the look really grew on me. also better tires in 17in...

[@jerryrichardson987]

@@allen2w1 Cool car. Love it.

[@MuscleCarMike]

I have a 79 that looks very similar

[@permanentwaves4621]

Surprised you haven't bent the crumple zones shutting the hood like that, unless you actually did push back before pushing down and the camera didnt catch it.

[@brianhoffman4861]

290hp on a good day

If you LS swap this car you have no taste

[@Jeffreycarr-t7g]

Ls swap 4 what them engines are not cool gen 1ls meh

[@TonyM132]

Those wheels ruin the look of the car. No 1980 car should ever have black wheels. And as black wheels go, those are some of the ugliest I've seen. They are also completely the wrong size. Please get some correct or at least closer to correct wheels on that machine, it would look so much better!

[@ohguy1991]

Those wheels......Yuck!

[@carlinshowalter1806]

One of the few cars that the stock wheels ruled!

[@imsodank1]

Nice!!!!
