Test Drive 1981 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro SOLD $21,900 Maple Motors

[@alexhanson4101]

Fun fact: The 85 mph speedometer was so you couldn't hit 88 mph and go back in time.

[@kenh9681]

Nice Z28. Still own my first ride. A 1979 Black Z28 I bought at 19. 62 now.

Could probably buy a restored one for about the same at Mecum do the research bought better cars there for less or around the same

[@Thoar003]

Just bought a red ‘81 z28 with the 350 and 4 speed manual. So excited to restore it!

[@jimmygarcia3068]

Beautiful, everytime I see a camaro of that Era reminds me of "Fast Times at Ridgemond High" Jeff Spicoli at the wheel...

[@douglasbigelow7456]

Love these cars had two 1978 Z28 ‘s , 1978 400 TA, 1979 403 TA & the one a still fret about selling, 1973 SD 455 TRANS AM, If I had all these cars today my retirement portfolio would be better. LOL. Loved them all.

[@V8guy83]

Beautiful car. Should be an easy sell. Damn shame so many of these year Camaros were trashed back in the day. Hard to find nice ones these now.

[@darrenbrown896]

They put AC controls in the Gove Box sometimes?? Dont think so, pal. Nice try. Wtf?! ;)

[@wheelzhandicapable2788]

Can anyone help me? I am trying to find a steering wheel off of an 84 Marquis or 67 Fury 3 65 Galaxie 500..I am edisabild I never was able to drive but I love cars and these are special to my cause my parents owned themmy top 3 favorite cars they had , The reason why I want one of the steering wheels is because I want to make a clok out of themsince I can't find these in die cast cars fo0r my collection no die4 cast company makes them..

[@bigtuna9529]

The steering wheel on a Grand Marquis is the same as the LTD & Lincoln continental thru 89 the junk yards are full of them or you can find examples on EBay, they may vary slightly but with pics on EBay I’m sure you can find what you are looking for.

[@neal6473]

2025 or 2026 Maple Motors I will be coming out there to get a classic car though a classic car loan right now I'm still paying on my 96 impala which I love by the way but I want to get a other classic car to be added to my collections so see you in a couple of years take care.

[@markboyce1001]

I had a 81 Z28 if one tire a few pounds low,the car will slightly pull to one side are the other

[@Sammy-rn9fk]

My first car was a ‘81 Z just like that except mine had silver stripes. When you kick it down the flaps in back of the cowl are supposed to open.

[@johnd1226]

Your cars look nice but the test drives show all the issues that's going to need fixed

[@Hellbender21]

My first car was just like this but had red interior and rougher shape and broke down a lot. I still loved it.

[@SIXX2772]

DUDE......Stop stealing model cars straight off my shelf and selling them as real cars sir!!!! lol

[@wealwaysgetthelastlaugh]

No ac no gas gauge signals don’t work radio doesn’t work and you want an arm and a leg. Todays classic car guys disgust me

[@jim_from_florida_672]

Oil pan and tyranny looked wet to me maybe a leak or two

[@wealwaysgetthelastlaugh]

Don’t you worry they’ll still charge a price like it’s in perfect condition lol

[@benjiarehart2878]

I had an 81 burgundy Z/28 with gold trim back in 1984. Bought it with 30k miles, but in mint condition. Agree wasn't very fast, but man it was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. Especially with the t-tops out. My induction flaps never worked consistently.

[@leecordell7418]

Will trade a 2018 Challenger R/T ,in very great condition..for a 79 to 81 Z28 in paint style! As an original orange not..?! Let see if u wanna make sum $ off what I want!?

[@55555711]

someone took care of this car

[@RamblinGarage]

You guys do an excellent job of showing every aspect of these cars so that no one has any surprises and I appreciate that! I will be looking for a 69 Firebird 400 or a retired Nascar here in the next year or so. I will be looking at you guys first if I decide on a 69 Firebird. Keep up the good work!

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Thank you

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

This Z28 brings back memories. My buddy would let me drive his 1980 Z28 4-speed with 3.73 positraction. The motor was low on hp but had some torque and with those gears it still could keep up with more powerful cars for about 1/8 mile. Topped out at 100 mph.

[@thebacdoc6464]

Your right. I had a 79 Trans am with a 403 automatic 185hp. My Friend had an 80 190hp 4spd Z28. We raced a few times, he beat me, every time

[@isaacfreeman2190]

My dad has a 1981 Z28 Camaro same color and same stripe color and we love it hope you had fun😁😁👍🏻

[@marcusx3605]

Damn I was literally about to purchase but sale pending lol.. fml 🤦🏾‍♂️ I need me a classic

[@travistate2468]

I don’t think the reverse lights are supposed to be on when in park. Great job on your videos. Love watching

[@bronxhistory2051]

though these Z28 we're pretty anemic of H.P. they looked great and had enough to make it sound like V8 should

[@alanbrooks3670]

The only downside to these late 70s early 80s Camaro's is the engine's were so detuned and if you looked at the speedo it was 85mph which about was the horsepower and it was a shame because they have such awesome body lines, beautiful car but no guts to match. This Camaro has been well kept as far as the body and interior are in great shape, but looks like a couple leaks, which a little work to seal it up make it a really nice ride to cruise in,

[@darrenbrown896]

Ummm...it had 190 HP...a lil more than the 85 you mentioned lol ;)

[@SF80CAMARO]

Moth ball the LM1 350 and put in LS swap....heart transplant..good to go.

[@sokodad]

If only I had an endless bank account. I almost had one of these but dad said no and bank wouldn’t loan me money without dad co-signing.

[@cheri676]

How does these cars pass state inspections if the horn doesn't work?

[@MapleMotorsNickSouthgate]

Antique cars

[@jivebandicoot1427]

If you live in New York or California, inspections are a hassle. But in Kentucky, they just check the VIN & that's about it. Most States probably don't check it.

[@thebacdoc6464]

Along with no AC, in op Radio And etc...smh

[@thebacdoc6464]

I appreciate thé transparancy, and I hear they only mark those things up 3K, but they do no maintaince on those things. One would think with thé reverse lites always on, no horn And etc, that would be a safety issue. I like thé way hé Saïd, possibly a🇨🇷 lifter noise, no big deal, that is thousands of dollars to fix. If I was buying something that old, I would want et totally reconditioned, and everything fixéd. If thé car ils 20K, with no horn, no AC, back up lites always on, possible lifter noise, I would rather pays 25K, and have everything fixéd. Just my subjective opinion.

[@quentinteague3472]

That for real is one of the nicest 81 Camaros I've seen. They are usually all cracked up on the dash and everywhere. But that one is well worth the money!

[@michaelthebarbarian3380]

Agreed. If i wa sin the market for a fun interesting Cars and Coffee car... this would be it.

[@wayneoakley1832]

I've got a 78 z28 with 80 hood scoop and stripes just like that one it's almost identical mine has a big block 454 from a 70 chevelle it's doing 575hpat rear wheels .my mom bought it in 80 my dad owned a body shop we're all about drag racing we had 2 67 chevelle SS and a 67 camaro everything is gone now except the 78 z28

[@Adventurekm]

Would love one just to take out for sunday drive...cheers

[@grandspringdale1564]

Though she's not a race car she'd be awesome to cruise around in😎

[@richardernst8857]

It’s nice but it’s got its problems, it’s definitely got an oil leak and that temperature gauge has to be fixed if the motor over heats and blows up somebody is screwed and I say that because that’s, exactly what happened to me 5 months ago in my 1982 Z28 Camaro that I just purchased it’s sitting in my garage now trying crap up 7 grand or so for a new crate motor gggggggrrrrrrr !!!

In the spring of 1990, I was about three days shy of paying the cash balance and taking a black with red interior, T-Topped '81 off a guy's hands, when his nasty little punk teenage brother, upset about not getting the Z28 handed down to him, took the car behind the owner's back, got rip roaring drunk, and totalled it by driving it into the side of a city bus... I was pissed, but what could I do? It wasn't meant to be, and besides, the little punk brother wound up at the hospital, in traction for three months as a result of his vindictive stunt! Instead, I took the cash I had and put a hefty down payment on a more sensible, brand new economy car, put a nice sound system in it, and dumped the rest of the money in the bank... I didn't bother to look for another '81, as finding the one in decent condition was a chore in itself!

New spot too shoot videos!! How about the police parking lot??

[@thebacdoc6464]

Crazy, never showed that the air induction was functional. That would be a major selling point, considering they only made those in 80 and 81. Also, even though the car is 44 yrs old, alot doesnt work on it, and they are safety features to. The Horn, that is major, the AC, that is major, the radio, back up lites. I would have to say pass, its also an automatic. If it was a 80, 4spd, with functional air induction, and it had all the options, pw, pdl, tilt, AC, rear defroster, cassette, t tops, delay wipers, and everything worked, and the AC blew cold. Then it would be a possible sale for me.

Noticed the backup lights only came on in park. While driving they are out or when the key is turned off

[@tonytaylor9864]

Those columns are the same columns are used to put the automatic on they just moved it to the floor so when you shift it from reverse to drive to park it actually moves on the column also it’s just that this column is not moving all the way up into the park position and that’s why the reverse lights are staying on
