Why is the 1969 Camaro the hottest classic car of 2021?

[@joshgerleve4102]

“Improve with modern day styling” literally not possible

[@robertdean6222]

Very good video you guys crushed it

[@StreetsideClassics]

Thank you. We plan to have more content like this soon...stay tuned!

The resto mod concept has its place I guess, but it’s a shame that they destroyed a ‘69 Z-28 to do it. They could have done the same thing starting with a base model 6 cylinder car and preserved the Z-28. Without the 302 engine and 4 speed, it is no longer a Z-28.

[@StreetsideClassics]

True, it's better to get rid of more of the 6 cylinder motors than the 302's but some still prefer a Z-28 VIN and badging on their restomods

[@classiccorvettesmusclecars5846]

Always a fan of classic Chevys with LS power….

[@StreetsideClassics]

Couldn't agree more!

[@1notgilty]

Basically, this $174,995 Restomod '69 Camaro is a completely new car right down to the new frame and completely new drive train and suspension with a 1969 Camaro body attached on top. Seems wildly over-priced to me but somebody paid nearly $200,000 for it so I guess the old saying is true. "Something is 'worth' whatever someone will pay for it."

[@StreetsideClassics]

That is very true!

[@danielneece6404]

Ill guarantee if I had the money I would by it in a heartbeat.

[@StreetsideClassics]

@@danielneece6404 Wouldn't we all!

[@Hisan-SaNexus96]

The Guy That Bought One In The 1980s For Banana Pricing Is Probably Laughing At Us All Now. (And About Restomods, I Dislike It, It's Basically Putting The Car To Become A Lamborghini, The Only Thing Left Is The Exterior, But Everything Else Is "2020Sish", But I Guess Everyone Has Different Options, Don't We?).

[@chriswhynder8311]

do you know the wheel name at 5:55?

[@StreetsideClassics]

For specifics on these vehicle reach out to our sales team at [e-mail]

[@barnabyjones5161]

It's called "wheel."

great presentation by the host... but the shitty music is way too loud

[@matthewtE]

I just got handed a 1969 Z/28 302DZ from my dad. Hasn't been touched in 30 years! I'm redoing the original tires right now and then a paint job. I'm super excited!

[@StreetsideClassics]

Very nice! You'll have fun with that.

[@Camaroguy69]

I have a 1969 Camaro RS that I bought when I was 19 I'm 66 now. I just have one question. Aren't the other models worth anything? I've watched a LOT of KZbin and all anyone ever talks about is the top of the line 69's. The Z/28, the Z/28 RS, the COPO's ect.... Well some of us happen to have very nice original cars. Not at the top, but not at the bottom either. Why don't we talk about some of them for a change? You might be surprised at how many of us are out here. Now that the Camaro is out of production and will never return as we know it. The lesser models out here owned by us old hands would really like to talk about those. And their value in the future. No disrespect intended, love you channel I'm just giving you a little food for thought and 2 thumbs up. P.S. That's me in the thumb nail, a little younger but leaning on the same care and always will be! LOL

[@javelsaudades6537]

The music is too loud and interferes with you great description! Pity

[@StreetsideClassics]

Thanks for the feedback...Ill pass that along.

The Best Camaro 1969

[@StreetsideClassics]

It is a beauty!

[@jonesy4588]

it was the fastest production car made .

[@edwardcollins8543]

Prettiest car that ever been built

[@samrez-5530]

1967 Front Grill is the Badass Version !! Imo it’s the Best looking

[@davevan9150]

So you are saying that restomods are actually worth the build cost now, and the last 30 years of auction values are a lie?

[@StreetsideClassics]

It's not that they're a lie but with Covid and the chip shortage causing a global void of new car inventory, the last 30 years of track record are no longer necessarily valid. Even new Kia's are going for $3-8K over sticker, that never happened in the past 30 years either. It's 2022 and almost every new car lot in the country is lucky to be 10% full....the last 30 years does not apply in this current market.

[@bartscott9643]

Dark Hunter green metallic? Uh, the factory color is Fathom green.

[@StreetsideClassics]

Obviously this owner preferred that color over the factory color, to each their own

[@abarber971]

I love the “Resto Mod” concept. Where do you get your cars to begin the process?

[@StreetsideClassics]

The majority of our inventory is consigned by our customers

[@KhaiMahase]

beautiful, my dad owns a phantom green with the rs package 1969 z/28 camaro all original and numbers matching with a little rust spots near the bottom left by the left tire. His other camaro is a1969 ss camaro convertible that was stolen and that we found back a couple weeks later. We are still fixing it up!

[@StreetsideClassics]

Very nice!

[@Camaroguy69]

I own a 1969 RS that I bought when I was 19 I'm now 66. It's under lock and key all the time. It's in great shape and I'll leave it to my son. Glad your dad got his SS back, hope it wasn't too trashed he must have been going nuts when it happened. That's me with it in the thumb nail. Mines a driver that's the only way to truly enjoy a classic. I get a lot of thumbs up lol pure enjoyment...Isn't that's what life is all about when a person retires??? Take care!

[@frankNbeans3454]

Because it’s cheaper than the mustangs and chargers/challengers of the same era.

[@StreetsideClassics]

It depends on the spec, not necessarily true 100%

[@corvetteboyz]

Those are two mean machines Corvetteboyz approved.

[@StreetsideClassics]

Couldn't agree more!

[@johnstecz9169]

Rather have a 67 or 68 Camaro

[@junyor757]

You guys and SCOTTIEDTV are the best car channels on youtube!

[@StreetsideClassics]

Thank you for the positive feedback!

[@roberthedrick1]

Must not have heard of vice grip garage

[@junyor757]

I have and they are great but I prefer ScottieDTV and this channel.

[@elwrencho8189]

Enough said Resto Mod👍👍

[@StreetsideClassics]

👌👌

[@nickking256]

Just get a 17-21 Zl1 if you want to go fast. Leave the 1969 alone

[@StreetsideClassics]

Very true! Some people want the modern power in the classic body though

[@miker6270]

If you just want a fast car that you don’t have to do anything to, yup I agree. A 69 has more style and Im able to work on it myself without a computer. I’ll stick with my 69.

[@chasemoney562]

nice car's, i know. meet my Copo was yellow ugly, now midnight blue. 427 baby....

[@StreetsideClassics]

Nice choice on the midnight blue but I bet that yellow turned a lot of heads!

[@barnabyjones5161]

The real question is why do they keep ruining them with LS swaps..

[@StreetsideClassics]

There's a lot of people who want the modern powertrain, A/C and every other convenience an LS swap enables but of course this isn't the preference for the purists

[@barnabyjones5161]

@@StreetsideClassics they had a/c before the LS.

[@StreetsideClassics]

@@barnabyjones5161 key word being modern A/C, which is a world of difference from the very first A/C systems offered on these Camaros. If you put a modern A/C unit on the original powertrain, it causes a noticeable drop in power. With a modern LS, the modern A/C has minimal affect on performance.

[@davidkranz6228]

Ugliest Camaro ever built.

[@StreetsideClassics]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

[@miker6270]

To me, it’s the best looking Camaro by far. There hasn’t been a decent looking camaro since third generations IMO.

[@StreetsideClassics]

@@miker6270 A lot of people including many of our customers agree with you too!
