Exploring 1969 CAMARO Junkyard!

[@adamjones9645]

Hey Parker I really like your videos,keep in mind Chevelle SS396 are only designated 138 from 66 to 68 ,69 and up are 136 with SS option no longer its own model,also 69 Z28 production was 20,302 not 12,000 thanks man

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Dang Adam, didn’t even notice that but yea your right! lol Chevelles aren’t my strong point and looking forward to learning with all of you!

[@stevecanyon23]

Great video, thanks for uploading! It is really a shame that the cars were stacked and that they were left to rot in the open.

[@bighouse1695]

Parker, the 1969 Z11 Camaro Convertible Pace Car has been my favorite car for 40 years. I love that you found one to take us through in that building. Great video!

[@johnj3281]

My favorite was and still is the hard top version of the Z/11 the Z10( only around 200 were built).

[@johnj3281]

at 6:43 info - about 3600 1969 Z11's (convertibles) were built compared to about 200 1969 Z10's (hard tops) were built. Also, the Z10's were delivered to Dealerships in the North Texas & Oklahoma areas. The Z11's were delivered mainly to the "MIDWEST" Dealerships.-FYI

[@donshotrodgarage1717]

Cool Video Parker. 138 SS Chevelles stopped in 1968. Just me but I would be very skeptical of any 69 z28 with a cowl tag that had been removed. Them cars are so valuable that a messed with cowl will always hold down the value. That car is still very desirable just will take the right person to buy it. Have a good one Buddy 👍

[@matthewstump7563]

My brother had a 1969 Camaro RS in Candy Apple Red. It had a very fast 327 with a huge hood scoop. It was scary fast. My dad sold it in 1987. I wish I had that car now.

[@josephdipalma5989]

I think you can confirm that that tag came off of a real Z/28, but once its been removed it creates doubt. I would be suspect of any car that had anything other than factory rivets. Nice stash of cars, though.

[@kennydemartini2169]

I have no idea why anyone would even remove the cowl tag. I have painted hundreds of cars from color changes to restorations, and I have never needed to remove the tag.

[@OdinHammersmith]

My tag was severely damaged when it was sand blasted before the restoration. 😢 maybe that’s why it was removed.

[@is3180]

Great info , ur like a walking car encyclopedia..✌️

[@zcam1969]

69 camaro with a black tail panel had big blocks 396 . NOR on the cowl tag indicates that the car was manufactured at the Norwalk Ohio GM Plant . some Z/28s were coded x33 also

[@johnj3281]

Firewall tag X33's & X77's. 4 speed only, NO Automatics for the 69 Z28's. .

[@michaelcarinha9893]

Parker I believe that the Camaros and Chevelles with the 396 engines 325 and 350 HP had the return lines. Only the 375 HP had the single line. I had a 69 RS/SS 396 325 HP all original.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Yes, that is correct 375hp cars had 1 line!

[@doublek5583]

Nice find, ashamed he stacked them, it is what it is, excellent video keep up the 👍 good work

[@jayware2381]

Hi Parker I enjoyed your video, would like to see more. Seeing you walk through that junk yard reminds me of me when I was a kid going through junk yard after junk yard trying to find parts for my first car. 1967 camaro. I bought it when I was 15 in 1980, I gave $400. But then I ran across a1969 rs. I gave $1400 quite my job at my brother's body shop and worked on it for two weeks just to be able to drive it across the gno bridge in new Orleans, it took 2 hours to get it to the house in bumper to bumper traffic. I was a nervous wreck when I finally got it to the house. I had both cars and didn't want to get rid of either one. Cause I had the 67 like show room. But I was in love with the 69. I found out we were moving to Mississippi and I couldn't bring both of them with me. So I sold the 67 but I still have the 69 plan on putting it back together very soon.my 69 was hugger originally orange with the blk vinyl halo top. Thanks again for the video.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Thanks Jay... I would've sold the 67 also lol

[@toddgreim9254]

Thanks Parker

[@jasonmenard1073]

My buddy Brandons dad's has a Camaro pace car it took him a few years to complete it. I think it's just a clone butt it's really nice. I like this channel you sure do explain these Camaros in detail. I'm a big fan of Camaros butt my favorite car is the 66-72 Chevelles I Want to learn more about them. I had a 69 butt not anymore this kid was wasted and drove his truck into it over and over until it was destroyed. I'm definitely getting another one after I get my g body Buick on the road.

[@matthewtE]

I don't need any parts YET. I'm sandblasting the rims for my 69 Z/28, which has been sitting in my dad's shed since the 80's and need to inspect the engine entirely. I would like an analog clock on my dashboard at some point in time 😊

[@antinioacosta2710]

The black out pan , is only on big block. The pace car replicas can in small and big block.

[@allendaigle6351]

Kick ass video thanks

[@camaro69green31]

Well done. I subbed.

[@JohnReall]

In 1969 only big block Camaro's had the black paint on the back of the car. I'm still driving the 69 Camaro SS I bought back in 1974. Mine is a 350 car no black paint. Oh by the way Super Sports are Z-27's That was the option code. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znq2iqiXitdjg6c

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Thanks John! Be sure to watch the other videos we’ve done on Camaros! We cover that and more!

[@cheaptricked]

Z28 also had X33; X77 was the base car and X33 either had the Z21 (Style Trim) or Z22 (Rally Sport) options.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

We have many videos on z/28 be sure to check them out 🤘

[@born2wrench]

he never mentions that a 67 rs camaro has eletric motors that open and close the headlight doors but a 68-69 are vacuum operated headlight doors

[@antonydrentwett6107]

I get that it's a junkyard but, what kind of fool stacks the cars on top of each other? If it was a rare model it would have more damage done to it then needed... The reverse lights were relocated on the RS option.

[@mgcarr61camaro91]

I just wonder why the owner would remove the cowl tag ? If it matches the hidden stamps then ok !! Well done video!

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Not sure why either I didn’t ask lol

[@davidlandeck3406]

That fella just got better and better at destroying cameros through the years

[@Transient901]

They also came with 302s.

[@cheaptricked]

The “D80” RPO was for the REAR spoiler.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

D80 was for both front and rear..

[@Testasspeedshop9997]

Also starting In 71 you could get a small block SS chevelle. Even 2bbl 350s where available. From 69 to 71 it is very easy the clone a chevelle to a SS. That's why paper work is so important when buy one. There are clues to tell them apart but stating in 70 you could order a big Block a non SS car. So it makes more difficult. Sorry so long winded.

[@edmundanderson657]

69 you could get a 396 in a non SS car. Had a friend order all he could afford, figured he add things as he could afford to. 396, 12bolt open, auto on the column (think it was a glide) and drum brakes.

[@danielburke4113]

I'm amazed at your knowledge and ability to decifer tags, etc.

[@AGWBS]

325 and 350 HP 396's had 2 fuel lines; 375 HP had a single fuel line.

[@dutchyjhome]

Hey Parker, very informative video, as usual ! You are talking about rare Camaro's and so I was wondering what your thoughts are value wise for a Red Factory 1987 Camaro Convertible Iroc- Z28 305 TPI V8 with manual gearbox? This is one of only 744 Camaro Convertibles made in 1987.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Dutchy I’ll be honest and let you know that I’ve never looked in to Iroc Camaros but I do know they are on the rise in value, where are you located I’m always willing to learn

[@ellisonlowrimore7751]

I see all of cars but did he have drivetrain parts, carbs, alternator and other parts??

[@lynzcamaro]

Parker, Is the 69 Camaro with a 250 ci engine and a 3 speed manual on the floor worth anything? My Dad bought this camaro New in 69 and gave it to me, should I restore it to stock or Modify it?

[@bigdaddy9864]

ONLY big block 396 SS got blacked out tail panel .SS 350 Cars would be body color only. Z11 Pace car's with 396 would not be blacked out.

[@cheaptricked]

💯

[@robertkolb228]

You cannot tell whether or not it’s a SS by looking for 138 in 1969. Gm changed the way they did it and i think 69 was the first year that changed.

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Hey Robert thanks for your feedback! Planning on learning Chevelles with you guys so we will know what years changed in which way!

[@sherrybutler1897]

40 grand for that pace car…… yeah I’d retire to if I got that much

[@dogshaff9307]

Blacked out was a big block car

[@garyballard3296]

All 69 Chevelle's were 136 ss was a package option didnt use 138 code 68 was last year 138 code used I know of two people that bought 69 ss. New had code 136

[@backyardbarnfinds]

Hey Gary, thanks for letting me know.. coming soon we will be doing a deep dive into chevelles and all learn together.. not a car I am very familiar with at this time

[@DawnHaduchJeffOsborne]

Parker I saw the video on the Camaro hunk yard I’m looking for a Camaro to restore can you help me find one at a good price. Thanks Frank.

[@matthewtE]

BTW, which state is his junkyard in?

[@dukefrog]

L89 is a 427,and the 375hp 396 is a L78

[@backyardbarnfinds]

You’re referring to a corvette, they made 311 L89 Camaros in 1969 with 396ci motors aluminum head cars very rare and not well known..

[@dukefrog]

I didn't know that, I thought I new a lot, but that one slipped by me. Nice job thanks

[@backyardbarnfinds]

@@dukefrog it’s easy to get Chevrolets confused lol I do it all the time 🤦‍♂️

[@dukefrog]

My family has and had several Chevelles, I have a 69 with the L78 that I bought about 30yrs ago, it leaves speechless every time I drive. I need to study up on Camaros a bit more. Great channel, I just found you yesterday

I would prefer the 68 Camaro over the 69, why does everyone want the 69? Now if you are talking Chevell the 69 is the one

[@jayware2381]

The 67/68 body style is the same, but the 69 is 9inchs wider and has the shark gills. So actually the 69 body style was only made one year.
