I live in Greenwood, i actually passed you coming up out of Rock Creek. My first thought when i saw it was, "Wow, looks like someone just plucked that out of a field." Little did i know I'd find it on KZbin 2 weeks later 😂

[@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

That's amazing lol. In do remember getting some odd looks.

[@ultraviolettp3446]

That era of Camaro was one of the most beautiful ever designed. While I don't like the way the rear end cargo area was handled, the overall look is amazing to this day. And it is so wonderful you took a car that was being junked and got it running. I hope someone gives it some TLC and fixes it to be a daily driver. It isn't worth much, but to have a car like that in any decent shape and operating condition is worth every penny.

[@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

I agree with you

[@camarochris071]

Aside from the door it looks like it cleans up decent. I recently saved an 89 from a 20 year stretch in a field with the same damaged door. little effort and fired right up

[@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

kool, did you film it?

[@Expatriate1977]

Not a bad find at all! Pretty easy to fix up and I think body parts are easy to come by

Nice old classic.

Great car and find , rare here i live, can't kill a chevy😍😎👌

Neat save. That V8 is worth saving.

thanx, always a nice surprise to find one intact!

I had an 86 with wiring problems. Wish I still had it. I'd love to see you get this one fixed up.

Wow Camero Turned out nice

[@brucemelton4983]

Hey guys, just got put on to your channel from a mate in the States. Awesome video although it's an older one. Being a 70s child I loved the look of these Camaros , unfortunately living down under in New Zealand they're not that easy to come by and the ones that are are ...well expensive to say the least! great show though, look forward to more!!

[@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

Welcome aboard! Who's the mate who sent you?

[@brucemelton4983]

@@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS my mate Dave, he lives in Colorado. He's actually on the hunt for a 66 notchback mustang for me. My sister in laws was in the process of restoration of which I did a fair amount of work. It caught fire in the panel beaters and is a gonna 😕 luckily the new engine, tyranny and interior were out of the car so trying to find a rolling body with as little rust as possible. It's tough on this side of the world, just passed up on a 65 that was a P.O S. For $9.500!! NZD (about $4500 US)

[@my1vice]

The fancy Camaro..... Cool!

[@30AndHatingIt]

I heard a couple of Navy fighter pilots once talk about how one the F-14 Tomcats on their carrier was different than the rest; it never broke down, barely shook during high-G turns, and had a higher top speed than the rest. That it seemed to have rolled off the assembly line perfect in every way... it was "special", a "real hot rod". They fought with each other over who flew it next on the schedule. What's my point? I am convinced that some cars just roll of the assembly line different, like that Tomcat did. I was in a bad spot once and had to accept a dumpy little 4cyl Chevy Malibu compact. I was prepared to hate it, but let me tell you... that thing was a unicorn. It was the best handling car I ever drove, smoked other cars off the line, outran highway patrol on one very desperate (and stupid) day in my life, and sipped gas. I never had that much fun owning a vehicle, I knew it was special. Seeing this Camaro effortlessly come back to life and hearing you say it's the nicest driving vehicle you own... leads me to believe that this thing just might be one of those unicorns that rolled off the line different, special, unique, better. Another unicorn.

[@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS]

Great story! Thanx for sharing! Sometimes they just defy all logic and adversity!

[@30AndHatingIt]

@@ABANDONEDCARREVIVALS I agree! I hope you get that Camaro completely cleaned up and in daily driver condition.
