Imagine a neighbor pulling up in his brand new Z/28 with a sound like that Todays cars have lots of power but sorry the audio appeal is zero.

Beautiful ‘69 Z/28. So nice to see that it been left as original as possible. This car is in great hand of its present care taker. One very lucky man 👌😊

Now thats an honest car..that original owner truly loved it and knew then it was a keeper. May have been a pain moving it to other countries but weird driving it every day everwhere? No different than any late model car...gas it up and go. Dailied these 80s through the 90s/early 2000s To let the sit is rediculous, just take a picture and save the $ .

Such a cool car! When I was 10 years old in 1969 my Dad went to the Chevy dealer to buy a new Caprice 4dr. Inside the showroom they had a 1969 RS Z28 in this yellow with the black stripes. I was so excited to see such a car and tried to talk my Dad into buying it but he had four kids and a wife so he bought the Caprice! During my life I have owned 7 69 Camaros one of them was a Lemans Blue 69 RS Z28 and another was a 69 RS SS convertible. I almost painted the Lemans Blue Z yellow so it could be my dream car but since it was originally Lemans Blue I stuck with that! So needless to say a Yellow RS Z like this one is on my bucket list! Thanks for posting such a cool video!

There’s nothing better than a RS option on the 69 Z/28. Back in ‘74 I owned a 68 Z/28 while in College and a friend of mine is the current owner. My current Z28 is a 70 4-spd which I purchased from the original owner back in ‘81. I spoke with the orig owner 3 summers ago while I was on a poker run and he wants to buy the car back, but its not for sale and he doesn’t want any other 70 Z28.
