Joe's 2nd Gen Camaro! : Mike's Garage Talk Episode 2

[@jeffreycarleton1535]

Cool video, MJ !!! Gotta love those 70-73 Camaros! An NCO friend of mine in Germany had a 1970 back in the seventies it was fun fun fun on the autobahn! Really cool shop!

[@dennishipsley8703]

The 70-73 is the best. Had the privilege of driving a '70 Z28 when I was a Senior at FSU. My buddy's family had money and he got one of the first Z28s in Florida from Slaton Chevrolet in Pompano beach. Car was Shadow Grey, black stripes, black vinyl top 4SP and 3.73 gears

[@FordHoard]

Standard bumper is the best! I have a 79 Camaro Sport Coupe with a 305 automatic. Nothing special, but I love it. I've had it for almost a year now.

[@mikemc330]

Great video.

[@dwainkindelberger3008]

In 1985 I owned a 1970 Z28 with the split bumper... I wish I still owned it!😊 Listening to these gentlemen brought back found memories of cruising the winding roads of sunny Southern California without a care in the world!❤️☀️❤

[@jonathanolsen7254]

That was way to cool, I have restored 3 68 Camaros myself and did everything farmed out nothing, Boy that was a nightmare. But man did I have fun. One can spend 20,000 to 60,000 depends on the amount of work that is in need, but the last day is the coolest when that car gets reunited to the owner and the smile and tears worth every dollar spent on that Camaro.

[@charlespatrick8650]

my brother bought a new 1973 Camaro, from my little kid memory, it was white with blue stripes, and had blue interior, think it was a Type LT, he only has it for a few months, because he traded it in after it needed a fifth warranty repair in just like four months, he made the trade-in deal when the Camaro was still on the rack for a new Monte Carlo

[@charlespatrick8650]

my first car was a orange 1970 Camaro, with a 307 engine, bought it for $900, had just a little rust below the rear bumper, rust was everywhere after just one Winter, and the frame rusted through on the driver's side after 3 years, and it had to be junked, the engine and transmission were still in great shape though

[@finntjomstol9364]

Would love to hear some obscure racing stories from over the years shared on this channel. I’m sure you have absolutely incredible racing stories. A video going over say the crazy under appreciated events you remember from all your time with the sport would be a treat for many. Long form analysis content is getting very popular recently and I’m sure many many fans would love to hear some of your stories.

[@aarongarcia1101]

The dash and door glass is an absolute mother of a project. It will drive a detail driven mechanic bananas.

[@Walkerfit91]

I saw the NPD dash pad box!!! I work there that’s awesome!! 💪🏾

[@DavesClassicCars]

Nice interview Mike, Joey does beautiful and accurate restorations on the second generation Camaro's. You can see that he takes a lot of pride in the job that he does.

[@GidDree]

Damn, I like that..brought me back too

[@christopherhuot2826]

70-73 R the most beautiful to me, 74 was the beginning of the end 😅 The same thing goes for Firebirds too

[@adamb3129]

Thanks Mike! Your knowledge on the classics is simply unmatched. Love the 2nd gen Camaros.

[@s3hooligan]

This interview brought a smile to my face. I purchased an exhaust system from Joey and he was a joy to speak with. One day I hope to stop by his shop with my 71 (full bumper) Camaro.

[@chuckschweitzer491]

Mike, I am working with Joey Gray right now to purchase his 1972 Z28 that he built for himself, what a great guy he is, I stopped by his shop with my wife recently on our way back from a Fl trip could not have been more impressed both with the shop and him as a person looking forward to getting the blue 72 that he has completed

[@goleafsgo8496]

Thanks Mike, very cool interview and access to a shop as well as 2 guys that know there stuff!! 😎 😎

[@idaho2ndgens240]

What a well done video!! Excellent workmanship and passion for the cars. For me I have evolved from a standard 70 nose to the RS nose as far as preference. Both are very cool. I am down to just one 70 car now, had a standard bumper and RS, both basket cases. Ended up taking the RS nose off the one car and sold it as a standard car. In progress on a LS build RS, LS7 wet sump with a six speed. Making a fast driver.

[@richardnessman480]

The Camaro Z28"s lives on from People like this ..These are very important people in my eyes .

[@genokearney]

My 2 adult kids are named Mike and Joy. When they were little in the 90s and we watched Nascar, I used to tell them they were named after you, Mike Joy. 😊

[@kyleforeman4543]

Tks Mike, an tks for Joey an his crew for remaking those memories come back again, an I luv both fronts, lol just sayin.😅😅

[@user-tu1ee6dc5f]

Doing the work of the Lord! I really like the color of this car featured. If he could only do everything in house but he's got a system. I dig the 71-73's esp 4 speed.

[@theintake8961]

So good to see you sitting and talking Steve! Stay strong and I'll be thinking about you. 😎👍

[@Joy-Riding]

Steve isn’t in this video, but he posted an update on his channel. We are wishing him a speedy recovery!

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Great interview Mike, I really enjoyed it. Joey and his crew does some amazing work.

[@AG-ci7rl]

Great channel Mike, subscribed immediately. If I have the ability to hear you talk about racing, or classic cars, I'm listening. You're truly an ambassador of the sport and hobby. Keep up the great work!!

[@Joy-Riding]

Thanks!

[@dannydobbs669]

Thanks so very much for the videos I really appreciate and enjoy them been listening to you for a long time on other things you never disappoint GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY much respect ✌🏻from Ga.

[@jimmccune568]

Wow, what a great Video! Well done Mike, Joey and Bart!

[@HD-Rider]

Mike, I have a 73 z28 rs 4 speed car restored . My dad was a racer all his life first scca road racer than stockcars. so I grew up with these cars. I loved both forms of racing but so many of these cars and others are no more because of stockcar racing .But that`s just the way it was back then. Blessed to have mine. Split bumper Mike

[@brucebartlett1950]

Owner of a insurance collision repair shop could build /restore any car decided on a 72 Camaro funny thing high school car was a true 71 z28

[@Mark-um7ey]

Wow, glad I found your channel Mike. Didn't know what you were up to these days, always enjoyed your nascar broadcasting and Barrett Jackson deal. Great to see you out there in the historic trans-am series too. Best of luck and health in the new year!

[@Joy-Riding]

Thanks you too!

[@rickdaystar477]

​@@Joy-RidingMile I'm not up to date. Am I going to enjoy your coverage of any national venues this coming season?

[@wyattoneable]

It's great to hear from restorers of these beauties. Thank you Mike.

[@robzentai3458]

Mike, as a lifelong lover of cars, nascar and you as a broadcaster, this channel you have started is a fantastic look into the classic car world. I absolutely love it! keep up the great work.

[@Joy-Riding]

Wow, thanks!

[@patmaloney44]

Bought my new 1973 R/S when I was a senior in high school. 56,000 original miles. Still own. Midnight Blue Metallic. Z28 suspension, posi.. still have original engine. Now CHP Ram Jet 350. Borg Warner Super T 10 wide range 4 speed.

[@ralphbillick1210]

Mike, you are doing great, they keep getting better, keep them coming ❗️🇺🇸

[@Joy-Riding]

Thanks 👍

[@haroldstrickland8416]

Making a Camaro an "RS" is probably the most common altercation done to these old F cars. I love the lines & shape of these cars regardless which nose it has.

[@josephpinto1861]

Mike I’m from Massachusetts and have a 68 Camaro. Love the car. Been listening to you for years and I myself have been involved in professional endurance sports car racing

[@Cstoreri]

Aaah yes … Memories!

[@johnmilner7603]

Note that the rad for the 70 Z28 is a 2 core. In 1981 when I bought my 70 Z28 I knew a guy in GM Parts office and we both went to the parts bin where the rad was. I didn’t believe it was a 2 core in a Z28. I opened up the box and yup, it was a 2 core. If I knew how hard these are to find I would have bought 10 rads. Back then I had a 4 core built with my original tanks.

[@z06doc86]

I close my eyes and listen to Joe talk. I would swear it is Mr H. speaking (Rick Hendrick). The Carolina accent is so distinctive.

[@carlmaro]

I'm with you Mike, full bumpers all the way

[@George-on3zm]

Love it! Mike i had standard bumper on my 71 Z 28. But did a resto mod and ended up doing a split bumper on it. Mike keep up the Great work! Love your videos! Especially on 2nd gen Camaros! And your car is Nice!!

[@brianhall2534]

I have a '70 Z/28 4spd car that I've owned since 1986. Currently, in long term restoration. Question: Are these 2nd gens going up in value ? Seems like a resurgence.

[@timothygreen7708]

My favorite Camaro is definitely the 1970/71/72/💪🔥💥😎🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@royvazquez1244]

I had a 1972 Rally Sport, unfortunately living in Connecticut, it had a terminal case of rust that i wasn't able to fix, had to sell it for $900 dollars. I really enjoyed your interview with this gentleman, he really is a craftsman with Camaro's. you could tell he wasn't used to be on camera, but you framed your questions so he could easily explain in great detail what he does.

[@JamesHyde-tb8os]

Awesome video. Met Joey many years ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway, bought a few parts from him, talked a bit and learned a bunch!

[@Joy-Riding]

Always learning something every time we are over there!

[@johnquick574]

Great Job as always Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markkalkwarf4520]

That was a cool video thanks for doing that. I have a 70 with standard front that is being restored.

[@lylemirsky2843]

Question for you. I am in the process of restoring a 1970 Z28 and I am not able to locate the correct color fuel and brake line clips. Do you know where I might be able to locate these, or do you just paint yours to the correct color?

[@karltork6040]

Mike SO glad to get a new episode from you. Totally fascinating listening to a man that loves his work, and has his knowledge! I wish you and yours a very "Merry Christmas", and a "Happy New Year"!!! P.S. Stock bumpers only!

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

Listening to Joy here sounds almost like an build up to a Nascar race. You just wait for the race to start after ;)

[@cwmoss69]

My silver '73 Camaro 350/700R4 has the shifter on the column..do you think that adds to the value as a #'s matching stock car I think it's an LT. ( I have the orig. th350 also)

[@M_IkeLeBlanc]

GREAT series of videos Mike! Big fan of all of your work (going back to ‘79 Daytona 500 😳) Happy Holidays!!!

[@south_carolina_man]

Someday, I'd like to be successful enough to relate to anyone in that room.

[@pride1970]

What company would you recommend for interior? seats - carpet - door panels?

[@BrettRSutherland]

FYI Split bumper cars did not get sold in Canada .

[@Haoleguy808]

That 70 is a beauty, I hope they take it all the way to 1500 and win it this year.

[@Joy-Riding]

Fingers crossed!

[@trevorjarvis3050]

Folks, I need a set of those roller wheel stands! Any idea where they can be found? Thanks much.

[@velvetjones1856]

Paint shop money is made on insurance jobs where they can flip a car through quickly. Restoration work requires more labor for prep and usually takes a back seat to insurance.

[@larrypierson9732]

Is there a longer door than a 2nd gen F body?

[@jmark7390]

I am Rally Sport too.

[@thomasdeangelo1655]

Rally Sport for me

[@umbertoharo3841]

Full bumper for me.

[@michaelboley4428]

Did he say how much for complete restoration driver and show price?

[@JacobWaller]

Hey Mike, How can i get you on my podcast for an interview?

[@dragpackdale]

Bart is a cool cat

[@rockymeyers4030]

Keep up the good work Mike. Have you ever thought about a career in media????

[@davidmolaison2933]

Look at any racecar from back then and they were standard Bumper cars.

[@Joy-Riding]

Correct

[@davidmolaison2933]

Mike please do a story on the Second Gen. Camaros and the Trans Am series I have a 70 that I would love to campaign in a Vintage race series.

[@Joy-Riding]

We race two second gen Camaros that competed in the Trans Am Series. Lookup Historic Trans Am to get more details. If you want to race your 70, I would recommend looking into Vintage Racer Group (VRG). We will do a video on the Trans Am Series, hang tight! Thanks @@davidmolaison2933

[@superinnovated]

I have 70 rs z28 needs assemble would you willing to make happen

[@jmark7390]

Wonder how much it costs

[@marlonevans6449]

I had a 72 Z/28 with split bumper 4 speed black with white stripes and interior ..paint code was - -
