TIME CAPSULE 1970 Z28 CAMARO FOUND!!! Stumbled Upon In A Small Tennessee Garage

This amazing 1970 Z28 Camaro is one of the best original examples you will see. Aside from very few add ons or replacement parts the car is virtually untouched still retaining its original drivetrain, rust free body panels, paint, and most of the original interior. The car has 55k original miles and spent most of its life in Pennsylvania before coming to Tennessee over 10 years ago.

[@johnpena9165]

That LT-1 350 sitting between the fenders of this great looking 1970 Z/28 is one of the best engines Chevy ever put in a production vehicle !

[@carlinshowalter1806]

One of the toughest 350s Chevy ever made! My brother ran the hell outta his Z for years and years. Just kept the solid lifters adjusted and change the oil every 2000 miles. Hardly ever lost a street race in that Z! Wish he still had it.

[@victorialouden1912]

built 5 mins from my house at the Norwood assembly plant. my father built that car!!

[@billybiker5712]

Your father built something that has to do with the car maybe he was the fender guy or the rearend guy or the dash guy or the gas tank guy or the headlight guy each person had a designated part in building these cars about fifty to a hundred different people all doing one thing each to these cars it's a neat processes to see or be a part of i myself had a small part

[@wtf0101]

Haters everywhere

[@johnjoole2258]

Thats awesome man !!!!

[@glenncook885]

Good looking Z28 for 48 years old....Sweet find

[@johnnyb5247]

My bes friend bought a 70 1/2 real rs/z28 near perfect original interior, zero rust, matching # rear end but it was missing the original engine and trans he bout it in 2003 for 2000$ and never did anything with it. Then one day i went over and it was gone! I couldnt have been more sad he said a guy came and offered him 3500$ for it. I almost cried. He acted like he was never going to sell it, but had i known me or my dad would have bought it. Hes still mad at himself for it, just glad i kept my 68, i have now had it for 20 years. Great videos btw i binge watch them for the information, just cant get enough! 👍

[@johnmilner7603]

Great find ! I bought mine in 1981 and still own it.

[@Fred_NaughT]

Oh This is my favorite Camaro ever made ! Great color also !

[@cctvspystore]

Same here.....70-72 but this 70 Z28 is my absolute favorite

[@BrantleyTV]

Patrick. How in the hell do you not have 1mm subs.... I grew up in the 70s and have had Camaro’s, Trans Ams, Cutlass’s all throughout my teens and 20s. Love the work you do.

[@bobsilver3983]

Love your video's Patrick...I am absolutely addicted to all these Musclecar finds video's!!!

[@olschool3740]

I would love that Car! I had the 71 Version, but life got in the way. I appreciate the video, but agree that this car needs someone who cares enough to at least keep it pristine. This is a treasure!

[@kbtruck65blair64]

Awesome car Patrick, thanks for doing what you're doing.

[@justinm6110]

WoW that is an Amazing car, great find Patrick.

[@oldscout2514]

How in the world you continue to find cars day after day, must mean you live & breathe cars. You do a tremendous job of finding cars. Then the job you do breaking down the codes & numbers. You know when parts were manufactured,& if they should be on the car. You do 1 tremendous job. Thanks

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

Old Scout well thank you and yes I’ve been into cars and their respective original parts for a long time. We can never know too much. I’m a car guy turned journalist not a journalist covering cars there’s a huge huge difference.

[@ALABAMAHEADHUNTER]

That's a really nice car ! I don't understand why some people park a driver like that . If it were mine I would have to take it out for a drive every now and then . I love driving my Chevelle .

[@lt.columbo5919]

[@brianboots8219]

Awesome channel Patrick! Keep doing what your doing.

[@whitetail2627]

Awesome car Patrick thanks for sharing love the 70 Camaro makes ya wonder how many more are in hiding but safe keeping like this rare beauty.

[@NickRanger]

Love the color combo! Nice video!

[@tmodrall5416]

Nice car& nice video. I personally bought a 1974 z-28 in 1978 that was totalled& repaired it 4 my senior body shop class. Drove it home 3months later. Crankshaft broke with only 48000 miles on it . i now have a 63 - 409 2x4 in it .& i sold the original 4speed tranny & put a Muncie 4speed from a 68 ss chevelle

[@planetwisconsin9901]

Love your videos Patrick I have learned so much!

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

[@troymattice4236]

Love this!! So much valuable information. Thank you

[@MrPappysCobra]

Awesome. Great video.

[@jamesstout7400]

Lovely I owned 1970 SS Camaro. Wish I still had it lol keep it up.

[@MrBmoll5858]

Awesome find Thanks for sharing 😎🇺🇸

[@885.0ELopez]

Gorgeous camaro

[@oxyrisin]

My dad had this same car in HS but his was blue. Said he sold it for 3 grand. Probably worth a little more now!!

[@sparenothing1487]

Damn that thing is in amazing condition!

[@blackbirdxx928]

Used to have that exact same car except for black stripes... bought it in 76 for $1900 original owner, unaltered except for a steering wheel and aftermarket stereo...42k miles...owner thought the motor was going sour, nobody ever told him that the valves need to be adjusted...came with the small small front sway bar and No Rear...no brackets or hangers..came from the factory that way...best g-damn motor Chev ever built...ran out the piss out of the motor until the oil pump pickup fell off going 115 down the 91 freeway @ 3 am...ran a single carb cross ram for a while. Stories about earlier 302 cars being faster.. close ratio/ 4.11..out of the hole maybe, I had 3,73 and a 2.54 low gear Muncie, I ran against several 302 cars....one of the cars I have been kicking my own ass for selling all my life...that and a 69 roadrunner 440 4 sp and a 65 Chevelle 427 4 speed and a 64 Chevelle 350/350 and the one odd one..49 MERC pickup 327/th 400 and #2 odd one...86 I think..xr4ti with a pro built 2300...z28 was the best driving of all of them...drove well enough I bought 2 other non z cars after that and right now I'm working a deal on a 71 bird..rust free az car. Live in lake Havasu..I know of 3 70 z28 in town, 2 are stone stock...even have the single muff behind the rear axle...around here they are daily drivers....let ya all in a secret..lake Havasu has the highest per capital hot rod per household ratio in the country...it's desert..no rust, you can but av gas and race gas at the gas station, no emissions and you can drive anything on the street as long as it's clean and safe looking...slicks, open exhaust, as low as you can...don't even need a windshield (off road cars, trophy trucks) or fenders..side by sides, ride a banshee on the street? Yep, 2 stroke dirt bikes, yep. Blown alky with zoomies, yep . so, just obey speed limit...that barn find 70 Z? Is a daily driver here...just need a garage...the wrecks old laquer paint and door glass rubber

[@shawnjoyner3183]

blackbirdxx928 sheesh where’s this lake place you live mann I definitely have to move there cause here on Maryland they’re so damn strict with all this safety and loudness crap I mean cmon can an old classic breathe a little my gosh I will never understand 👍👍👍

[@fogtown3027]

Whoa, we didn’t ask you that.

[@brspeedysgarage]

Amazing shape, goes to show how much better the paint was then. Today’s factory paints can barely make it 4-5 years without problem.

[@mrcwoodworks4523]

BR Speedy's Garage true but they are better for the environment now

[@lt.columbo5919]

The lacquer paint looks good from 20 feet away but it is very checked...and the paint often checked after just a few years. So...was the paint that much better? No.

[@nickc0369]

Great car!

[@sporty196071]

Nice one love it keep up the search!!!

[@DanniTheMagicJunkDrawer]

I’m watching these videos so much that these old muscle cars/barn finds are showing up in my dreams LOL LOL

[@brianglade848]

I love how on alot of cars you announce you will be checking the paint

[@justin.c_svt]

Beautiful Z28. I love Hugger Orange.

[@merrickgould5620]

Pat great job

[@danielwilkinson9351]

I remember when this new body came out , no one was in love at first with this big of a change but soon did with the 360hp 350.

[@bluesharp59]

Nice video Patrick, Liked for you also.

[@NathanLange]

Nice, I'm in Knoxville, love it as original

[@leddygee1896]

Why isn't this on the road? this is a crime of the highest order. My absolute favorite year and bodystyle of any Camaro. The most beautiful car GM ever produced!! You're killin' me ovahere...

[@kevinbhola9408]

What a excellent time capsule, it looks like up to this time it was never driven.

[@johnwilkerson2195]

Love that car!!

[@rockofagesusa7942]

First one I’ve ever seen that didn’t have a crack at the top of the back of the side glass window corner of the body. Pretty darn amazing .

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

Calvin smith yes I agree. Thanks for watching

[@appalachianfoxbodysaaronau3257]

This makes want to finish my 70 z28!!! Citrus green black stripes

[@Southernbread686]

Super nice love it

[@Cambpro]

4:56 that engine and the rest of the under-hood area definitely did not disappoint!

[@mohicanjoe2079]

Sweet camaro

[@79county]

beautiful

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Very nice find. I would love to own that car. I would clean it and show it the way it is.

[@BonheurEsperer]

Gorgeous machine

[@chuckwhitson654]

Most awesome Camaro ever built

[@garyorisky5876]

I have a 1970 Camaro RS SS L34 M20 4 speed with air condition. A very rare Camaro it has been sitting in a car trailer or the last 11 years I was wondering maybe if you could give me some information on the car I hope we can hook up and talk about it the knowledge and passion that you have for muscle cars is totally amazing love your videos

[@tommyzimmermansr.4875]

By the way, you do WONDERFUL videos.

[@1990hondarc30]

I own a few muscle cars but one is an all original 13000 mile 1968 Chevelle. Everything except for the battery. The car is pristine. I have all the paperwork, two sets of keys with the leather cases with the dealer name, the yardstick with the dealer name, even the tires are original and in good shape.

[@dannypalazzo1969]

The great debate..."there is no 70 1/2" I stay out of that. That can of worms is worse than politics when opened. Great video Patrick! 👍🏼

[@scottbaker1018]

LT1-350 My brother had one in a 70 nova. It was a blast to drive

[@wes11bravo]

I'm not a Camaro guy except for the '70 1/2. Awesome car in this color or Green Mist with black stripes.

[@LinaGuar]

Beautiful

[@supersweet9494]

Cars been repainted and engine too. Has paint on gas tank. I had one.

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

Melissa Eric There is some minor repairs freshening up but mostly original paint

[@tomhurley974]

I just do not understand the point of having a car like that and not driving it It is just a piece of art work at this point

[@brianchernesky2894]

80s and down is the true American iron!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@loupankey2345]

I Love It.

[@deibama]

Why save a car for someone else to enjoy? Money? I'd be drivin' this one. A '66 SS Nova and a '70 Z28 have been my dream cars for the past 50 years.

[@markgamble8377]

Like that.have a 1971.stored since 1977.had been beat.kept it.glad i did.now im retired.time to restore it. Need to find out who makes best fitting replacment sheet metal. Plus need front seats redone or replaced.

[@dacrd]

Very nice looks like the engine and rear end were rebuilt.

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

I’d have to say I agree. They appeared freshened up.

[@stefanovichmichael9686]

Still have my original 73 LTRS Zed 28 4speed.It could bury the needle, approx. 135 mph @6000 rpm. Yes in Canada we call zee a zed.

[@lt.columbo5919]

Nice Camaro...I have a similar 60,000 mile, original paint 1970 RS Z28...M-22, 4.10 geared 12 Bolt. Original "radio delete", "no console" car...The car was ordered as a "drag race" car by a dealer in Canada who was into drag racing...The car is G.M.-documented as it was a Canadian-sold car....Oh, and it is Cranberry Red with black stripes.

[@electrichellion5946]

Dust? Looks like mildew getting a good first layering.

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

Gene Still ok a little mildew too

[@brianglade848]

And farts stuck in the seats

[@godfellas483]

I'll never understand how guys who say they are car guys can let a car like that stand for 10 years in deteriorating condition. That car needs an extensive preservation detail especially in the interior before it degrades and needs replacement...

[@jamieostrowski4447]

I think there are a lot more old musclecars around than people realize. Go on a bike ride through a suburban neighborhood on a nice sunny weekend afternoon when all the garage doors are open and seems like 1/4 houses have some kind of old car tucked in there under a shroud.

[@jonlennon3348]

It is a shame the owner is so lazy they wont detail the damn interior otherwise known as mold on the seats and dash.

[@patrickglennnicholsmusclec1674]

TADionysus definitely mostly original paint

[@oldschoolhiphop2275]

It's definitely a true classic. Letting it just sit constantly isn't doing it any good.

[@DavidJohnson-rd5wy]

Damned shame!!!I'd like to slap him silly and take that car out for a hot supper!!!!...I'd put the wood to that car something terrible, remind that town why positraction rubber exists!!!!

[@oveidasinclair982]

That's both ignorance and laziness

[@mynameis9057]

fill up the tires, dust the interior, check out the fluids,then toss me the keys and lets go for a ride!thanks again! ☆☆☆

[@MrDjh66]

I miss my 73

[@shawnlauderdale6502]

That's about a $60,000 car right there, if not more!

[@marksimpson7477]

my friend has a 701/2 z28 he bought new.hes had several motors in it including a l88 427.it has the original lt1 in it now.its only been driven once in the last 35 years.he repainted it in original lacquer in the original green 35 years ago.no console column shift 150 mph speedo.bit of an oddball.no rear spoiler

[@johnpena9165]

Never knew Chevrolet ever built a Z/28 with column shift are you sure it's an original Z/28 or is it a clone ?

[@chickenmuffin]

Mark Simpson why...

[@pontiacgrandprix733]

Absolutely beautiful find, my favorite year Camaro, and I'm a Pontiac man, I would throw a white gut in that car, and put the black seats away, gorgeous

[@rogerchevelle7231]

Nice

[@mr.hanger]

My brother has a 70 yenko nova in very similar original condition, but it's a real "barn find" gave 6 grand for it. I flipped and honestly got pretty damn jealous

[@robusmc1713]

WoW Insane, I want it so bad

[@crazycat6272]

my friend had one in metallic green . my brother sold a black one back in 1982 . he offered it to me for $1,000 & i didn't buy it . who knew what they are worth today 🙄

[@erickort1987]

The COPO style rear spoiler was a option after april of 1970,i dont know if needed the RS option to have it.the RS option Z22 code wasnt stamped on engine block or or on fender tags only on the build sheet you could see it

[@christ510]

A friend of mine has a 70 -1/2 RS/SS Factory 4spd Camaro.

[@Mikegastaldo]

I never seen a cleaner/original 70z except of course in the 70s/80s

[@craigkosters9852]

I raced several with my 75 TA, they always got me by a car length. They ran strong, most guys put traction bars on them.

[@perrywe1]

Very nice. I don't understand why the owner doesn't clean the car (especially the interior) every now and then and fire up that LT1 even if it's not driven. Second gen guys who see this video are probably cringing.

[@greasy7494]

At least this car is not totally trashed!

[@markk7509]

What a waste! The owner needs to take 10 minutes and clean the mold off the interior.

[@Clearanceman2]

I'm amazed that someone can nave a valuable car and not sell it or take care of it

[@karlfritch9193]

Right. That interior almost all. An covered in mold. Unreal. Some people.

[@tonyfisher2014]

Nevermind getting the mold smell out.gut interior start cleaning. Been through this tough smell to remove..Gets inside vents under dash , every where. But you can't say dude your car's moldy. It's the nature of the beast.

[@jamespeterburch]

Hi Patrick, I know you are a die hard Chevy guy but any stuff for us Ford heads? Keep up the good work!

[@ACWhipCream]

I got a 1971 z28 Spilt bumper Camaro.....it's in a 50-50 condition currently and it is the same colors as the one in your video...I hope my dad's camaro still runs😭😭😭😭if not.....I might get a new Mustang🤞🤞🤞

[@joegodoy9233]

The 70-73 only Camaro to sport the "Corvette" style taillights. I miss my 73 ,just about every day .

[@tracymarlar934]

My brother had one of these in high school unfortunately he let a friend drive it and the friend rapped it around a telephone pole! The car was fast

Lucky guy

[@jerrycraig6522]
