In today's video, we go over finding, uncovering and rescuing this 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28. It is a total gem of a garage find, and what everyone wishes to find out there!
It has the factory LM1 (350)/Turbo 350 Automatic Transmission. The car was owned by the same person for around the last 20 years, and parked for the last 5. It's really cool, and drives great now that it has been washed, had some fresh fuel ran through it, and got some new spark plugs/wires.
We will go over paint correction and interior detailing in the next video of this car. Thanks for checking out the video!

Boy this brings back memories. We stored my wife's 77 TA for 22 years AZ. car. Stored inside, battery out, covered with engine fogged, axles hanging and every couple years fired up brought up to operating temp revved numerous times, and old gas siphoned out with fresh added along with sta-bil. Car fired up in 2009 and drove to the restorer, got full frame off OEM with minor modern upgrades, and car is like new today. Beauty!

I've had my 80 Z28 since April of 94. I was 3 and a half. It's my pride and joy. My wife and I had our first date in the car, and she was a ford girl. But I quickly changed her mind with that Z. I wish this blue one still had the original N90 aluminum wheels on it. And the correct front grille with the Z28 emblem.

I wish you could keep both. I just got a white '85 Z28 and have been enjoying your journey with it, and thinking about what to do to mine. But I agree, the 2nd gen cars are cooler and simpler. I had a '79 Trans Am, black & gold with the big screaming chicken, and to me that was the sexiest car of that era. Wish I never sold it, but I was young, and it needed a lot of work that I didn't know how to do at the time. Looking forward to see what you come up with on yours, she looks promising.

Beginning of the drive and you start dissin the 2nd gen, 1st time you have ever driven one and you state it drives just like you'd expect a 2nd gen to drive. As an owner of a 2nd gen, I love the way it handles. Especially after I've driven my LeSabre. Takes me back to my simpler times when I was more worried about a bigger amp than a house payment. Could tell from the sound it had a miss right out of the garage, time is a killer. Good luck with the car, I'll be watching for tips from the 21st Century, to compare to mine from the 20th Century. My high school sweetheart is now my retirement project with my son.

I wasn't "dissing" the car when I first drove it. What I meant by it driving exactly like I thought it would, was because it's a slushy car compared to the late model stuff I'm used to. It drives great, and rides awesome. I'd happily road trip/power tour the car if it could run down the freeway at less than 3k rpms haha. I really do like the car, and will likely keep it over the Iroc-z I have because like you said. It's simple, and reminds you (and me) of simpler times. It's a rolling time machine.

I hear you. Can't keep them all unfortunately! The GTA is in good hands now. It's had rear brake calipers, new tires, and probably a heater core done on it by now. It really needed a paint job, and I couldn't see paying to have that done. It's not worth it in the end financially.

The Q jet if it has one will have fuel starving issues at the drag strip. The float shuts off fuel when hard g forces hit it from acceleration. I had a Q jet back in the day and it bogged all the time off the line due to fuel slosh.

You know, I'd be inclined to agree. I bet some would argue that the 1st generation Z is better looking. That's debatable for sure. I think the 2nd gen cars around 79-81 have more "style".

The second gen steering was awesome in it's day. I had a 79 Firebird in like 1983, I never met a car that could out corner me back then. The steering on this car must be loose.

Dang it looks really good why wouldn’t the owner get it running and drive it instead of getting rid of it I have a 1982 Z28 that’s really nice but the motor over heated and blew up five months ago and needing a motor bad I don’t want to sell mine but I’m struggling to come up with the money for it, I’m looking for something with like 350 horsepower with headers and a cam in it 👍

I'm not sure, but after having kids and a busy daily life, it's no surprise how a car just gets parked and people move on in life. It can happen to anyone as their priorities will change over time.

You have to look constantly. More often than not nowadays, it doesn't seem to work out. You have to be there first, preferably with cash in hand. I'd sell the Iroc for 5k.
