Return of the Z28 - 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

The Z28 was the Chevrolet Camaro's performance model for many years. However early in its production life it disappeared during the mid-1970s for a few model years. Chevrolet realizing its mistake brought it back during the middle of the 1977 model year. The significance of the return of the Z28 can't be overstated, its impact has been long lasting. Watch this video to find out why the 1977 Camaro Z28 was such signifigant performance car.

[@landyachtfan79]

Fun Fact: The 2nd generation Camaro used the same steering & front suspension as our old 1977 Chevrolet Concours. I STILL consider the second-generation (1970-'81) Camaro/Firebird to be the most beautiful design of the late 1970's/early '80's. I mean, just look at those lines!!!!!!

[@jamessharp9790]

? Just the 1977 Nova Concours? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ ok here’s the basics. Chevy2 first Gen 62-65 unit body construction no front subframe. 2nd Gen 66-67 new design but still unit construction no front subframe .- 3rd Gen X body 68-74( note the body restyle on the 73-74 didn’t change the underpinnings) same front subframe as the 67-69 F body. Now the 4th Gen X car ( Nova etc) had subframe and underpinning same as the 2nd Gen ( 70-81) F body. I’m not sure who isn’t aware of this but apparently it now needs to be said - as sad as that is. Oh, if the 77 Nova Concours happened to have same spring rates or sway bar etc as the 77 Z28 that’s fine - it’s also way beyond esoteric and unimportant

'67 - '69 Camaro was the best... they got weak, inefficient, and bloated after that...

[@ph1sts]

Due to the high demand for the Olds Cutlass Supreme, GM had trouble supplying the Rocket 350 v8. So Olds began to install Chevy 350 v8s in them. The only way to order a 350 Chevy engine for a Camaro was to get the mid-year Z28 manual or auto. Chevy was still making the RS and LT models...BUT unless they were already in dealer stock (manual or auto) you could only get a 305 2bbl v8.

[@johnnymason2460]

The Mustang 2 was a Pinto! Thankfully, the Camaro from the 1970s had no relation to the Vega! I remember the Vega. My Mom had one. It's the first car I can remember seeing as a child. I hated that car and always will!

Some dude here in town has a cobra 2. White with black striping ,all the louvers and side pipes you'd want, and the tone coming from it isn't some low compression droning wheezing V8, she's definitely been worked over.

[@Anthonyjt12]

My first car was. 76 Camaro also. Kept it until 1983. Trunk leak, transmission needed to warm up before it would move and the body sagged so bad the door wouldn't open sometimes. Loved the car but it had lived it's life. Good times!!!

A couple of things here. My dad’s 77 Camaro RS was the first car I ever rode in, home from the hospital. ☺️ I wasn’t born until 82 though. He ordered his RS about 6 months before the Z28 came out and he ordered it special with the 350. He actually told me a few weeks ago he was irritated at the time that there wasn’t any indication in the magazines that the Z28 was coming back otherwise he would have waited. Interesting times!

[@mgonzales56]

Back in 1978 I saw a Z28 and had to have one, so I ordered a 1979 Z29 dark blue, aluminum wheels, t-top, and four speed. I waited four months for it, till I got tired of waiting, so my salesman got a hold of the only four speed, t-top car in the city...a 1979 Black on black Trans Am. I really wanted a Camaro, but I wanted a four speed more, so I bought the T/A. It turned out it was a WS6 with the 400 Pontiac engine. In January it will be 44 years ago and I still have it. Had it semi restored a couple of years ago and it looks brand new. In fact, I think I'll go outside and take it out for a spin. But I still love Camaros.

Any videos about 78 to 81 camaro 2 door coup 305 ? I am a new subscriber to your channel and I totally love it.

Wish these could be sped up slightly at least. I like them but oh so slow like a 8 track tape dragging. These might have even had 8 track players come to think of it. LoL

Chevrolet never likes to bring things back but in this car they had no chance of they did not bring back the Z28 and sent's I am related to Louie Chevrolet that car is family like all Chevrolets

That's the last cool Camaro GM made,at least from my era

[@Underdog72B]

I had a string of second gens. The 77 Z28 is the one I wish I had kept. Sold it with less than ,10,000 miles.

I had a 77 Camaro for 16 years sold it to get my 70 SS 396 Chevelle much more fun than the Camaro ever was

A normal sized person can fit standing and sitting inside the engine bay once the radiator is out. In fact, the inner fender also can carry the weight of a 180lb man.

They should bring back the z28 again

Our buddy had one lack. Built motor , 4 spd Tyre killer we always asked who ordered the 🍕.

The Camaro only offered 3 engines: 250 I-6, 305 or a 350
