The Coolest 3rd Gen Camaro Z28 On The Planet!

[@Vintage-vs-Speed]

I bought a 1982 Camaro Z28 brand new. It had the LG4 engine with 145 hp. In it’s day it was the Motor Trend Car of the Year. It was a boss car back in 82. I was always jealous of the IROC Camaro which came later. I still have my car, this will be the 39th year. She still runs great. So happy to see that car guys are digging these cars again. It makes the perfect sleeper hot rod with a LS installed. Lots of under hood room. Hats off to the builder here and to others that follow. I especially like Detroit Speed’s street/track monster DSE Z as well. Check them out on KZbin.

[@lastniceguy1]

That's what we used to call a "sleeper"

[@taddmason1187]

I'm a Ford guy but I've always loved the 3rd gens more so the IROC-Z28

[@s197mike]

Tadd Mason the earth is flat

[@taddmason1187]

Mike Molina your point?

[@s197mike]

Tadd Mason Burger King

[@panzerwaffen2873]

Tadd Mason he is smoking

[@jens9n]

@BRUCE LEE I believe he is referring to the 85 in which the IROC was a Sports Package on the Z28 Base. So no, until 86 until their last year 90. The IROC was an IROC-Z, Thus for IROC Z28.

[@cgilmer73]

I a Z28 just like this one (before mods) way back in 1991 - 1993! I kinda miss the old girl & wish I hadn't given up on her... Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Andy! Good job on the LS1 upgrade!

[@AnthonyThaX]

I had a 1986 camaro.. I still love the way it looked! I would like to see Mike's motor in one that would be insane...

[@anthonymacon01]

content is comming

[@Uberbluedragon]

Hey Andy I have a red 88 RS camaro than my dad and I are restoring. It was the first car I bought as a project car. We're taking the V6 out and putting in a pontiac 350 that is bored .60 over. The car has an 88 Iroc hood and z28 taillights. Also I do agree the flowmaster muffler does sound great on them cause I have one on mine aswell.

[@newnametrading]

Uberbluedragon good luck , would love to see the progress

[@chadbullock6326]

Uberbluedragon I have an 83 red Berlinetta that me and my dad are restoring. We pulled the stock 305 v8 and put in a 383 stroker we built and put in the rear end from a z28 in and are almost ready to drive it all that's left is the trans is out being built and then I have to paint it. So interesting hearing your story hope it all goes well with you I hope to hear more.

[@Roadhouse1997]

why pontiac 350

[@chasemeyer6688]

Uberbluedragon good luck with the .60 Over dude better know how to keep it oiled

[@Uberbluedragon]

yeah it's been running my dad's 58 apache fleetside for years it will be fine especially going from a 4000 pound truck to a 3000 pound Camaro ;)

[@CarGuyV8]

That's a sweet 3rd gen. I honestly like any Camaro, especially the 4th gen. I just finished a long process of rebuilding my 4th gen Z28 and it's running like a top.

[@cjones29hd]

Thats a nice camaro. Especially for an 84. The owner has taken care of the car very well.

[@selfproclaimednobody4614]

WEDWetErger342 you're so cool!

[@garett789]

I love 3rd gens. I have an 89 that I built an ls1 for. It only dynoed at 468hp but it's a fun car. It is the first motor I've fully build from a bare block up. Take that coolant tank and washer fluid tank off the fenders and put in something smaller and it cleans the engine bay up a ton.

[@manoverbord1231]

I have a 1987 camaro z28 and it's an amazing car gm honestly made an amazing camaro for that generation and the most over looked camaro out there but it's a really amazing piece of work

[@highoctaneperformance2257]

Bad ass car and build, i have had and worked on many third gens and had never seen that shifter i had a b&m that also had a stock looking console cover but not as bad ass as this one you just made me a subscriber with this vid keep up the good work man

[@Chevrolicious.]

I had an 84 Z28 that looked just like that, but it was a hardtop. All original with a 305/5 speed, 4 corner disc brakes and 3.73 posi. That car was so much fun. I now have an 82 Z28 with a punched out 350 and a TH350 trans.

[@ReeceJonesVids]

Andy!! I've been dying to LS swap my 85 Z28. You want to do another third gen?

[@jimw7527]

You told me to take out my headphones so I couldn't hear any of the video science , thanks Andrew.

[@s197mike]

[@iwaswithyourmom9410]

i have cheese in my pants..

[@MicahSmith]

WAYNEBRO'S RC N STUFF if you are looking to hear some video science you are on the wrong channel. You need to check out AsapSCIENCE for that.

[@GETUPANDGO]

Thanks Andy!

[@keithdaniels1994]

I love this car! Bought an 83 new that looked just likethis, de-stiped an all. My car had a lot of issues, rear end, fuel system, dash and yes it was a LG4 (no power). Did a tone of mods, Dana 44 with 4-wheel disc, Banks exhaust, Koni shocks and on and on. Was getting ready to drop in a 350 in and lost it in a divorce. Talk about insult to injury. Anyway, I always wanted to do another 3rd gen. Yes, they do get hated on by a lot of people but I think they look great. It warms my heart to see one done so well, not so over the top just nicely done. Two thumbs up.

[@carltona6429]

You just showed my dream car, almost exactly the way I dreamed it up. Awesome as always Andy. God Bless

[@diningroomfish5470]

You dream of a peace of shit like that

[@DkKnightX]

That was quite possibly the best video I've seen of Andy's. Love the Gen 3 buddy, now DON'T FUCK IT UP!! 😉

[@anthonymacon01]

get ready for more content in the future of a 3rd gen

[@DkKnightX]

Look forward to it man!

[@gregg4164]

Im currently building an 86 Z28 replica. I had a new 86 Z28 when i was just a kid. the first new vehicle i ever bought. Im going to replicate that car as best I can. The car is an 86 but was a 6 banger with a 5 speed. Keeping the 5 speed but everything else is being changed or rebuilt. Love 3rd. gens.

[@jadenjohnson6206]

My fathers 3rd gen there was only 55 of them made with the t tops and pant and stripes

[@deezet9518]

I love this car, with its stock appearance. Like the color as well and the state of the interior. Makes me think of my youth actually.

[@JRobert111111]

Wow! That is one beautiful car! So tastefully done and by far my favorite generation Camaro. That is indeed a project to be proud of. I'm so glad you were able to make this video and show it to us! Deuces!

[@BenFilley]

I've had a 86 and a 95 z28. This car right here, that dual gate, this is what I want. With an ls3 6.2. This car is so straight.

[@briandennison1462]

I have a bone stock99 SLP Camaro but I still love my 1st 86 and this 84 Z28 you built is a sweet ride!It brings back alot of good memories,Thanks for sharing this car with us.

[@bluegrasscam2590]

If you wanna talk clean third gens, my fathers LSX swap 92 RS had 12k original miles on the original six cylinder. Damn thing even smelled new on the inside.

[@skm4308]

Man this car brings back memories of my dad 3rd gen his was a blue 86 iroc z28 carburated and man it was an amazing car to go out and cruise in I for sure want to suprise my dad by buying him a z28 because it's his only favorite car in the world and I own a hellcat and he just hates it which shows how much love he has for the Camaro as he doesn't want any other muscle car.

[@innocenth3rb]

I love it! but its almost sacrilegious to drive one without a mullet

[@cbkidd]

When I first looked at this video I thought it's just a reg z28. I was caught by surprise it was not at all what I thought. Very cool. I live in Waynesboro and have a stock from factory 88 iroc 5.7 liter with 7,633 org miles. If I had the cash I would let you do to mine what you have done for the 84. That would be awesome. But surgery in 2010 left me with permanent nerve damage and on disability. So having my 88 done is just going to say a dream lol. My hat is off to you sir that is one sweet Camaro well done.

[@TheReaperLSX]

Those 3rd gens are amazing man the 5.0 HO and L98 engines were nothing to mess with and the torque numbers with these cars are insane.

[@zachjohnson6445]

Its sad when great cars are never driven

[@panzerwaffen2873]

Zach Johnson agree

[@WWIIman1942]

It just makes it cooler when you drive them

[@jtbassgambler2594]

Because they're classic and antique vechiles

[@streetsilverado7417]

Nice vid Andy. Personally, I have a 2002 camaro z28 that has been a badass since we bought it

[@J-ThomasRST]

Any idea when you'll start your Formula build? I'd like to see a build series from you.

[@RANS87IROCZ]

That is so wicked! I have never seen one with dual gate set up, So sweet it does look stock! very nice done makes me want one in mine now, is there a link where to get it? And love your channel! my kind of stuff! I'm slowly growing here on youtube, but awesome video man!

[@BadLuckGarage]

Those dual gate shifters for the fbodys were the shit back in the day. Had one myself I had put in a 88 iroc.

[@Tristenlsx]

I personally own a 1984 camaro z28 and love it! My first car! thinking about ls swapping it. Thanks Andy I really like this video because I can relate on a personal level. 👍🏼

[@anthonymacon01]

same after 11k

[@kennethjennings9292]

I had an 84 as well I looked into that gauge set up, if I remember right the company I found was Covans Classics

[@gonzoe123]

Andy, what's your opinion of a 700r4 vs 4l60 vs 4l60e with an auto/manual valvebody? More specifically, durability, reliability, fun factor, etc. Application would be similar to this Camaro, nothing crazy, just a fun cruiser/street car.

[@grandmackdady]

had a 89 z28 with same gauges and shifter only thing different was i put a custom front frame with custom fiberglass front that opened like a vett and a moster 7.4l under it

[@antdjones05]

“Get your fucking headphones 🎧 out cuz it’s gonna be loud‼️” I died 😂

[@dustinalldays16]

Andy's facial expression at 14:16! haha sweet camaro, very clean, good vid,

[@trevorsnyderofficial]

Got an 87z 28 with a 350 carbed crate motor

[@gloriamaletta8667]

Love the car and the color of and the engine my question is does it still have the original rearend in it those 7.5 10 bolt are not very strong that LS1 with sticky tires will destroy it and if not it will be making some awful noises l have experienced it with my 1984 monte carlo ss it now has a 1987 buick GN 8.5 10 bolt it's much sturdier and haven't had any problems with it has been in car since 2003

[@darrenporsch]

I wish people would get it right all converters are stall converters. the stall is the speed at which the converter allows the engine to before it engages. The converter on an automatic transmission from the factory is a stall converter everyone means they have a converter with a difference stall speed.

[@MichaelBacon212]

Wow what an amazingly well kept car. Beautiful. Sounds reapply great both ways.

[@limabravo6065]

You said 700r4? How’d you get the tv cable hooked up?

[@Whiboi]

Andy, can you link me to the phantom gauge cluster and the dual gate shifter? I've got a 1985 z28 with about 15k miles where the previous owner replaced the engine with a new edelbrock 350 and I believe its cammed but the guy also seemed to disconnect the entire obd system(previously had the TPI 305) (and also replaced the T-handle with a ridiculous autozone special silver dong shift knob) and the tachometer doesn't work at all, only the speedometer, aftermarket oil pressure, aftermarket temp gauge, and voltage meter work. I'd also appreciate any information about reconnecting the stock obd system, TPI fuel injection system and if it's possible to put TPI on a 350 as it currently only has a single 1406 edelbrock carb. Great channel, also planning to get a gsxr 750 in the future, keep it up.

[@michaelclouse942]

Austin Reiger he literally says it took him a long time to find it because they are not made anymore

[@Whiboi]

they don't have to be in production to be sold ;)

[@coryunferferth1767]

I love the Camaro, and i can NOT wait for the Buick project to get rolling. Love the older car with updated drivetrains

[@Mastermix1983]

That's a sick sleeper. Super stock with it's factory tail pipes too. Unbelievably cool.

[@brianheikes1025]

Great video, I have an 83 Z28 that is the exact same car, I bought in 83 and parked in 91. I have always wanted to do an LS swap with it.

[@bropanetank8238]

Love that car man! Can see you take great pride in it, keep up the good work!🇺🇸

[@abk2369]

DFR does it right. Love the car and so far all of the work of yours that I've seen. Hopefully when I have the spare cash for a project I can get some work done by you. Much love Andy!

[@pervertedspeed164]

I hope the next video is a POV driving one of this car with some awesome flybys! If you couldn't drive it because it was the customer's and he wouldn't want you to, get him to drive it. Would love to hear / see it in action!

[@blackdragon46819]

That exhaust definitely sounds good

[@chriscole9158]

They came with 350 tpi motor also. Mine was the 350. Unfortunately you could not get a five speed with the 350, only the 305.

[@bobbyblack1138]

and if you are going for the sleeper stock look, the letters gotta be outside

[@crazyflyboy30]

OMG I have a 1984 Z28 H.O. fully loaded even 4 wheel disk brakes.Also a 1992 RS,1999 Fire Bird ,2002 WS6.

Whats a big change that the ls6 intake system does compared to the regular ls1 one?

[@deondiggs61]

I hell of a car. Really nice n neat build. Great job Andy.

[@atomicorang]

Great Z-28. I remember when the 83 came out. Red was awesome and it looked totally futuristic with the dash instruments.

[@the420mechanic8]

I just got a 92 camaro rd and I just got a weiand water pump and I plan on rebuild the engine and the transmission as Well as tall rear diff gears I want to bring it to car shows but for me I have a five yr plan for the rebuild since the parts r a lot of money it could also use a paint job but I feel like driving it as a rat rod for right now

[@muscleperformance9301]

Nice story time Andy and keep up the good content 😃😃👍👍

[@stevenholland6681]

Beautiful Z28

[@kain452005]

This makes me miss my 84 Trans Am so much

[@diningroomfish5470]

Why did you get rid of it then

[@IROCQUE]

Nice......I Love to see a third gen sleeper! My dream is do that type of deal on my 89 IROC..... all bone stock outside and do a swap from the TPI motor to a 6th gen drivetrain from a 17 or 18 ZL1 along with that amazing 10 speed. Some day it may come true.

[@megantripp9520]

its always great to see a clean 3rd gen i like the build retaining its stock "sleeper status" look i'm sure it'd surprise somebody at a stop light thinking it's a stock tbi 305 car

[@Reaper1008]

Love Camaro's.. Finally got one..but a RS V6 2014.. its still fun.

[@nothat0therguy992]

That right there is a beautiful, clean Comaro, it also has significance for you

[@1980sSinaloense]

Whats the name of the paint on this camaro or do you know the color code ?? I have a 3rd gen camaro myself and I want that exactly color on mine

[@aady4697]

I want to upgrade my TBI on my 92 RS. If you know a good place for bolt on mods can you offer me any suggestions

[@centralohiostreets]

I'm a huge third gen fan, building a 84 z28 right now. There's a few things with this car that bothers me but I'll let it slide as it was your first. I really wish the owner would paint the head light buckets black. Drives me crazy when people ignore that big detail ugh lol

[@gunguytx]

cody nobbs I hate that too. Especially on 4th gen camaros along with the B pillar too.

[@anthonymacon01]

cody nobbs stay tuned

[@Bearbait01]

Andy read this. Not even joking. I was sleeping and this notification wolr me up. I was dreaming about sending you my 3rd gen Trans Am for exhaust and headers. Crazy. My car doesn't even have an engine in it...

[@gittyupalice96]

best thing about those early 80's z28s was they came with a super light fiberglass hood from the factory. My 86 with a steel hood weighs in at 3300lbs wet, so I wonder what this one weighs, plus it has a aluminum block and heads if it came out of a 2000 z28... I wanna know the weight! power to weight baby

[@2ATVSANDOURLIFE]

[@Bowtie4me]

great 3rd gen. the dual gate is epic but i prefer with the 3rd pedal. great sleeper-ish early 3rd gen. im doing a LQ4/T56 4th gen rear end project to do on my 85 Sport Coupe Camaro(Bease modele without Ground effect.)

[@jeepcollector91]

I really like 3rd gen Camaros. I bought a 1987 Camaro on April 28, 1994 as my first car and I still have it though it needs work now from sitting. I pretty much parked it shortly after buying my '91 Jeep YJ and completely lost interest in the F-body not long after... Sadly I will be parting it out or rehoming it within the next year. I simply have no use for it and would rather put the money into my '70 Nova which was my second car.

[@mcearl8073]

That was THE car to have when I was growing up. The funny thing is that LS swapped z28 is only putting out a bit more power than the V6 Camaro now. In fact I'm surprised there aren't tons of comments from kids saying how the 350hp is slow or something. Kids these days are way too focused on stats.

[@rileyklassen7953]
