Dennis I like your channel, but you gotta stop coloring your Hair.
dennis and crew you all have a beautiful heart
I would love to speak with you somehow some way, if it is possible . I live in West chicago I L
I know it’s Christmas Eve but , when you get a chance . Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends .
Are you worried about getting aids being that gay all the time?
I was Richards neighbor, I remember the day he drove that car home from the dealership, everybody knew he was getting a new Z28 camaro so we were all waiting to see it. I was only 11 years old so when he told me to get in lets go for a ride I was pretty excited. That was his baby and he took good care of it, I did not think his wife would ever sell it. All I can tell you Dennis is that car is the REAL DEAL original Z28, I would love to see it when your done getting it cleaned up and driving.
That is so cool!
Wow 11years old. I'm sure will be one of the biggest memories never forgotten...priceless to hear stories like this after watching this video....
Thanks for sharing that!
How much did she sell it for? Always sad when the family sells something like this
If I may ask do you know how he passed away at such an early age 😔🙏💎
My hometown!!! Happy holidays Dennis
@@1HeavyHitr Should have never sold it. Probably didn't even get close to it's real value.
So many years after his passing he is given such respect by all involved. Mr Zollo must have been as cool as his car!
Just like to mention this is a special episode. Did you notice the big letter 'Z' on the front of the garage. And that the address of the house is 444. The odometer reading is on the car was 32444. I reckon the husband was looking down from above. And Donna he would be proud it was sold to someone like Dennis. Happy holidays!!!
I noticed that! I was wondering why Donna made a big deal about the odometer reading and then when I saw the house number it clicked. Dennis was very classy at the end with the toast to the family for taking care of a rare beauty. You could see she was touched.
And the license plate.. RTZ 24.

Robert Johnson (GM builder/racer) was mentioned several times in the video as the responsible person behind the build spec and delivery of this specific car
174424 idnt he was 444
And now it's for sale on bring a trailer two months later
My father ordered a 69 z28 from Scuncio, ss/rs package rally green w/white stripes. Raced it for 3yrs before selling it. He tried to buy a car from another chevy dealer but they wouldn't honor the warranty because he wanted to race. When he talked to Bob Johnson he told him no problem we will even help you out.
It's hard to watch Dennis in action without thinking of the word "CLASS" because his demeanor is the definition of it.
Not quite. He uses his own fork to serve from the platters and often ignored the woman who sold him the car. He would not have been welcome back to eat at my Mother's table and If I sold him a car, I would decline the lunch invitation as others sometimes do on this show. Probably for that reason.
I was just thinking the same thing
@@victorbitter583 You really are bitter, hope you can lighten up a bit in 2024
@@victorbitter583 Wow! Victor is bitter!
I think you need to lighten up a bit. In some families that is the way it is at the supper table. @@victorbitter583
When Dennis starts going through the original paperwork. It’s like a 15 year old flipping the pages of a Playboy magazine 😂😂. His knowledge of automobiles is amazing. These young men that follow Dennis should be soaking this all in. You can’t learn this from any books ❤️
Except if you're 15 flipping through a Playboy magazine.
i agree😆
Dennis research's this "so-called" knowledge before they do each video. If you had time to research any car before a video was being filmed, you'd look knowledgeable too!
Alex pays attention. Working for Dennis would be "outstanding". 😊
LOL!!!😂@@patrickjohnson7801
Wow he passed away 35 years old so sad!! What a great family and car kudos to that mother taking care of that car as good as she did!!!
* 34
i'm not a hard core chevy guy but that z/28 is sharp and very special. but more remarkable is the charming family and the touching respect given by sharing those family photos.
I'd rather have this original beauty than a restored car. It may not be perfect with the paint/etc., but a survivor like this is very special.
Sean was right, it's only original once. Can always be restored
I have a 71 RS, all original, almost no upgrades from factory, Two barrel 350. I have owned it twice. I love it. I think 70 to 73 Camaros are some of the best looking muscle cars ever. Looks like its moving even when it’s parked.
I concur, these were the best years for style. Not too slow either, gave my "70 GTX a race.
My father-in-law owned a 70 Z28 RS. With the Rockcrusher and the 12 bolt. saddest day of my life is when he walked into my house and said “Yep I sold the Camaro”.
Son of a bitch!
Now I always tell people you should tell folks you’re interested in whatever it is long before they might think of selling. I neglected to do that.
It was a hard lesson to learn. 😢
Yep. Totally agree 2nd gens are awesome. Love my 73.
I'm
Really one of the better videos. The original owner passed away nearly 40 years ago at only 35, so the Camaro was taken care of extremely well in all those years by the family. Outstanding! The dog was cute, the meal was nothing short of deep fried epic, and the Christmas tribute to Richard at the end was Collins class through and through. What a great crew.
The food!
Honestly thank god Dennis got to these people before some scum did! I bet he gave them a real fair price!
37 years ago this month he would have turned 35.

Did he shit
Love the story of classic cars and their owners.
I love how she continued to love and care for his beloved car after his passing!!! I would put money on him sitting back in heaven smiling down at her like, " that's my girl!!! Great job!!!,"
Tribute at the end is First Class!
Growing up in RI, having worked at the largest Chevrolet Corvette Dealer in the state, I can tell you Scuncio was legendary even in the 2000’s. My best friends dad has a beautiful 1970.5 Z28 tucked away in his garage in Southern RI. Amazing cars!
in 69 in chitown i lived 5 blocks from nickey with the backward k i just walked around in there and was stunned
today you dont realize how great these dealerships were as compared to today
wowowowow
Scuncio was offering a new 1973 Vega GT with a LT1 engine off their showroom for $3995 with no warranty ....... those were the days!
Motion performance too. In long island too
I built everyone of the Vegas alongside Joe Delorenzo for Bob Johnson from scuncio Chevrolet. Myself and Joe also campaigned some of those fast cameros for Bob Johnson. Those were great times
I bought a '72 Vega GT new (and slow!). It didn't take long to start looking for improvements though. Unfortunately, a young sailor with a wife & two kids in 1972 didn't have much "play-money" in the budget. Of course, while I'm sitting around reading all the Hot Rod Magazines and anything else I could find on Vega Performance, I came across an ad from Grumpy Jenkins and his engine swap kit. He was stuffing a 350 V8 in the Vega and making what looked like a great toy. I never got to see one but the write-ups were a hell of a tease!!
In the navy at the time I was going to do this job. Sold my 66 Chevelle SS 396 for $500 and bought a cam back Vega wagon .Then my Sub got deployed overseas when I came back. The fuel crisis has started and decided just to hop up the 4 cylinder. But one big design flaw with the 4 cylinder Vega engine did not have enough water flow. I replaced 3 head gaskets on that engine. After putting headers on it and a cam in it😢😢😢 what a piece of junk.🥴🥴🥴
Thank you, Frank! What did those LT1 Vegas run with a 12 bolt for the quarter?
I had one of these that I special ordered. Four speed wide ratio with 4.10 posi. Last year of the solid lifter LT1. I could come off the line hard at 5K with slicks. Fun car. $ 4776.71 was the sticker, LOL. I remember like it was yesterday......😁
One of my favorite video's!
My mom sold her 71 RS/Z28 (Split Bumper) Silver W/Black Stripes for $700 to our neighbor about 30 years ago. What a mistake that was
Memorializing the owner that passed was a wonderful gesture and proof once again that Dennis is truly a kind and caring person, such a great guy! Thanks for all you do and GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️
One of the best Coffee Walks I have seen yet. And not far from this Masshole!!!. I can recall back in 69-70 growing up in Hull and my babysitter married a sailor who was stationed at the old Weymouth naval airbase. After they got married, They had matching Gen 2 Z28s in the green with gold stripes and both 4 speeds. Based on the time and fact that my family moved from hull in the 1970 holiday season I swear they were the 69 1/2 year models. Prior to these he had a C3 corvette. The last time I saw them in the early 80s He was stationed in New London and she had a Renault LE'Car. Obviously he was the only muscle car fanatic in that marriage. Bet they wish they still had those camaros. I sure do. BTW, he was originally from Texas before joining the navy
I graduated HS in ‘71. Lived through the muscle car era. Dad had a car lot so I had some nice hi po cars. Ordered a “71 with 4.10’s T400 and no PS. Red with black stripes. Worked at a Texaco gas station and kept those lifters set and in tune constantly. Drag and street raced the hell out of that car. Best time with slicks was 13.60’s and think i paid around $3200 for the car. Thanks Dennis. Brought back memories
I never really thought much into it, and it probably has nothing to do with it, but the simplicity of just taking out a family to dinner after you bought a cherished item of theirs really settles down the emotions of something that’s very hard.
I think atleast part of it, is u almost become family so it dosent seem such a great loss of it leaving.
I bought a nice vintage car from an older gentleman, probably in his early 70s last year. At lunch after the sale, at a restaurant I handed his wife an envelope with 1000 bucks in it and told her that since I was talking away a car they had years of memories with, I wanted them to go out someplace nice later on, and have a new memory, on me. When we're talking the type of money you save for a really nice car, it's not a big deal to budget that sort of thing in. I mean X dollars for travel, X dollars for transport...all your money isn't going to the car anyway. So setting aside a nice surprise is sort of easy.
@bbb462cid your a solid dude . My kinda people
With the profit Dennis makes flipping these cars,a nice dinner for the seller is not a big deal.....
@@davidh6818 Sour grapes. So did he kick your dog? Steal your wife? Oh let me guess you bought or sold an old car once and you disapprove because he pays too little in your expert opinion.
6:39 I love how you break into the video with the Scuncio information exactly where it’s needed, instead of at the end of the video. Great work to whoever made that decision 💪
He passed away so young. It is incredible that the car was kept immaculate oh so many years since he passed.
The pictures at the end were a lovely tribute to the cars history. I hope it stays original and is enjoyed as Richard and his family did.
Dennis flips these car finds for a very large profit. That's the drill here.
@@samryan7954😥 sad but true! I wish it could have stayed in the family
Well, he's a business man. As a car guy, I'm sure he wishes he could keep them all. I sure would.
@samryan7954 yup that's the business. There would be no business if he kept his favorites. That's the joy. Being able to see it, clean it up, and re sell it. He still owned it and enjoyed it. But gets to make a profit on it in the end. The only downside. Saying bye bye in the name of business.
And here it is for sale 2 months later on.Bring a trailer.
So nice to see a down to earth car guy, that not only cares about the car, but also cares about the family history. Keep up the good work Dennis and crew.
I live about 10 min from where you picked up that car. Back in the early 70's Scuncio was the place to go for High Performance Cevy parts. I bought 70 1/2 Z28 370Hp (solid cam) shot block from them for my 68 Camaro right over the parts counter. That car you got is super cool and a peice of history! Nice video!
I am originally from Pascoag RI which is also in Burrillville and the food is second to none. Nice find Dennis. They took good care of that car.
Great video. I actually own this car's slightly older brother....born 4th week of Dec. 1971. Also an original drivetrain Z-28 with an LT-1, M-21 4-speed and 4.10 rear. Only a quarter of those 2,575 '72 Z-28s were configured like that, and I can't imagine more than a handful remain with everything intact. Great find...truly the very last "muscle car" before the era faded entirely into the malaise of the mid-70s.
Not the last.
1974 Trans Am SD 455 has entered the chat......
@@davidh6818 Sure, I'll buy that. Great car. Definitely a great way to send off the 1st Golden Age of Muscle Cars.
@@davidh6818was a severely detuned version of the SD455 concept. Big 455 barely made more power than a Chevy 350.
I always love the respect and history of the cars and families in this channel. Hope that one sticks around for a while.
My 69 Z/28 RS came with factory 4:56 gears. Bought it right out of high school in 1974 for $2199. Got $700 trade in for my 66 Chevelle SS. Sounds cheap and thought it was til converted it into todays money. Can tell l still lived at home for another year.
Dennis and his crew are the best when it comes having empathy for the people he buys cars from. Showing genuine love. 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
i do declare dennis...when you eat, you go all out...that food looked wonderful..and the family were nice and i like how you showed tribute to him at the end..
32,000 original miles? WOW. Such an awesome piece of Chev History. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas Dennis
*****Dennis, this message is for you! I hope you enjoy our story about Scuncio Chevrolet and our time there!!
Oh wow, can’t believe this car surfaced. What a trip down memory lane!!! My brother now 68, and me 72 years old.
Dennis, let me give you some provenance on Scuncio Chevrolet! The dealership was owned by Eddie Scuncio and Ralf Capolla Sr.(related to Scuncio through marriage). The Cappola family, lived in my neighborhood, North Smithfield, RI. My brother Bob and I (Dennis) worked at this dealership through our teenage years, during the time this car sold. (1968 - 1974). My brother Bob exclusively did the new car prep during this period, so there is no question that Bob prepped this car for delivery. I on the other hand did all sorts of jobs at the dealership, such as new inventory delivery checkin, so it was me who checked in this car after it was unloaded from Anchor Motor freight. Assigning it a stock number, and putting on key tag with the set of keys for ID, so the hand writing on the key tag you showed is my handwriting, turning in the paper work such as the warranty plate and owners manuals along with factory paper work and the MSO, to the office manager, Miss. Linda Parr ( absolutely a stunning blond, who I can say I had the pleasure of dating for a short time.) I also did car swaps with other H.P. Chevy dealers in southern New England. Finally settled in the dealership body shop, where I learned the body repair trade.
Ralf Cappola Sr. Had two children a girl (Cindy) and a son Ralf Jr. who was two years older than my brother Bob and 2 years younger than me. Bob and Ralf used to hang out all the time and remained good friends for a number of years, until they lost touch.
In fact when Scuncio sold out Ralf Sr. & Ralf Jr. bought another Chevy dealership in Burrilville (Village of Pascoag, RI), where Bob worked for the family a number of years more.
The names of some of the people I had the pleasure of working with at the time came flooding back as Bob and I watched this episode.
A little history about Bobby Johnson, he was the practical joker of the dealership, and you could never expect his next prank victim. One day my brother and I decided to one up him in pranks, (Bobby was a neat freak, and despised disorder, his desk and its draws were always perfectly organized.) So one morning, early (before the sales people showed up at 9:00). We memorized the placement of everything on his desk top, to be placed back exactly as we found it. We tipped the desk upside down, the draws were all locked except the top center drawer that didn’t lock. Where we carefullylll placed a dead bird in the center top drawer among his pens and such, as we always had suicide birds who flew into the showroom windows. Righted his desk, and placed everything back in the places we found it. We then let all the sales staff know what we had done, as well as office staff, management and service personnel know what we did, as I believe no one had escaped a Bobby Johnson prank. There was no limit on who Bobby would prank even the owners. The anticipation was incredible, everyone was waiting for Bobby Johnson to show up. Just like clock work he showed up at 8:55 with coffee in hand. The entire dealership had stopped working and was waiting for his reaction. He unlocked his desk and found all the draws in disarray, he looked up to see who the potential prankster was to find every eye in the building looking at him. The ensueing laughter, I’m sure it could be heard from 2 blocks away. As he said “you got me, who are the perpetrators!” That pretty much ended Bobby Johnson’s pranks after that incident. He wasn’t angry, but more so embarrassed that he had been one upped! A custom among the sales staff was doing “Filp ya for a buck”, all the sales staff carried silver dollar coins and would flip each other for ownership of the others coin, it was almost a daily pastime when showroom traffic was slow.
It’s been almost 50 years since I worked there, but the fond memories of the people Bob and I worked with still linger. The Cappola’s always treated us like family, and we were both welcome in their home, on many occasions we were invited to have a seat at the table and share a meal with the family, particularly around holidays. Their home was my brothers and my home away from home.
When our dad died in 1970, the whole family came to pay their respects.
One final story about my days at Scuncio Chevrolet, in 1971 I was going to escort my girlfriend (Ellen) to her junior prom. The day of the prom Ralf called me into his office to tell me I could leave early that day, but not before he gave me a $50.00 bill and the keys to a new 1971 Chevelle SS (Ralf Jr’s soon to be his daily ride) to use for prom night, with the understanding that Elen and I stopped at their home for pictures before heading to prom.
There are not enough good things I can say about the Cappola family and how they treated everyone in their employment, but I think Bob and I held a special place in their hearts for us.
Bob and I both agree, if you choose you can send the key tag and some other piece of paperwork which we will be happy to autograph to add to the provenance of the car. Just reach out with an e mail so I can provide an address you can mail what you would like autographed, it would be our pleasure to have our names enshrined in the provenance of this car’s history.
Bob and I both enjoy watching your show, but this episode had a special significance. We love what you do and look forward to each episode, although we are both getting on in years we are still car guys at heart!
Much love;
Dennis & Bob Dumas
That’s one sweet Z. I could have made a meal out of all those appetizers. Hat’s off to you Dennis for posting a toast with the wife and family of that Beautiful Z. 🤙👍👍.
The meal is a show in itself. Double feature Dennis.
Consider it an intermission.
And it’s a tax write off
Hi Dennis I've been a distant fan of what you do for the industry. I have even purchased parts for my Jeep TJ from in the past.This video came across my suggestions so I clicked to watch and was extremely moved by the content.Despite your great success you were so professional and respectful to Donna and the entire Zollo family. So now I am watching your channel all day and just subscribed. Dennis you are Class personified
I'm 68. Graduated from High School in 1973, San Francisco Bay Area. I had about 10-15 Cars dated 1950-1975 in those years and sold all of them. Going to College, limited parking, maintenance etc requires you to make decisions.
Dennis, from Ireland you are a legend! It seeps through the camera. Entirely respectful and knowledgeable. Your emotional intelligence is natural and you deserve all of your success for your hard work and respect for people.
Dennis. Best one ever! Great family. Brilliant car. Please keep Z28 in your collection.👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Respect to the family for being able to let that cat go. It clearly holds lots of beautiful memories. 🙏🏻
Thanks for bringing us along - that sure is a beautiful car👌🏻
Great Memories are revisited here! I owned a 70 RS Z28. It was so impressively engineered to road race versus straight line runs. The. one year LT1 with stock forged TRW pistons, mechanical lifters, holley 4bbl, etc. was a screamer. Thanks for sharing!
Those photos at the end are a great reminder that these cars (which are just a mode of conveyance) become apart of the history of our lives.
This truly is going to be an outstanding video!! You see, when I was a kid in the late '70s, an older kid around the corner had a Camaro just like this one in the video thumbnail!! It had Cragar SS wheels and a loud exhaust. He worked at a nearby Sohio station, and one time when I was there, he told me he'd lost his license... And at some point, he even had a tunnel ram on it. I loved that car, but I don't remember if it was a Z28 or an SS, or which year it was. But it definitely didn't have the RS package. That dark green and white is about my favorite color combo on '67-'73 Camaros, and perhaps Chevelles.
Was 72 the last year before they restricted all the engine power with emissions?
@@cbruno12180 '75 was the first year for catalytic converters, but the compression ratios and tunes had been declining a bit at a time since the peak in 1970.
That was hard for her to let go you can see that car still had meaning to her . Sometimes these are hard to watch but that car is truly a sweet build he definitely knew what he was doing when I purchased it .. ..merry Christmas everyone
I know, he passed in 86, they held onto it for a long time.
Interesting they had it so long after his passing but I can understand the attachment. Ended up being a great call this is like cashing in a lottery ticket your husband left behind in a drawer. They seem like nice middle-class folks I’m sure that money will guarantee a comfortable retirement so the timing seems right as sad as it is.
@@Pooler18 The selling price of that car will far from"guarantee a comfortable retirement" 😂.It's not as if they were selling a Hemi-powered E body convertible,for Christ's sake.
You guys are making me hungry! That is a beautiful example of a Z28. I swear I saw that car cruising around back in the day, but it has so few miles on it that she probably didn't make it down to Narragansett/First Beach that often. What a great video!
Mopar guy here but I appreciate beautiful rare musclecars and the amazing story behind this seventy-two. Thanks to you and the family who cared for this car all those years. Time to bring the Z/28 back out into the light of day, and the original owners memory lives on!
Can't wait to see it cleaned up and running again. Thanks Dennis
Now that's a rare Camaro. And a small world. I bought my first new truck at Scuncio Chevrolet in 1987. Been to Gators pub several times, excellent food. I wish you all a wonderful Christmas 🎄
absolutely love the pictures at the end. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.
Beautiful car : I bought a brand new 1971 Z28 the same color with jade interior ,4-speed 410 posi and high performance package. I drove it from Wi. to Ca.and back , stopped for fuel about every 3 hours . It was one of my favorite cars among the many that I had .
I love watching Dennis look at the old paperwork! It's like watching the kids on Christmas morning ripping open their presents 🎁😂😅 I ABSOLUTELY love this show!❤
This story struck a note of nostalgia for me. I special ordered (from a dealer) 2 different Z/28s. First one, a '69, had the cowl induction hood, no console, M21, wooden steering wheel, 4:10 Posi and a fold - down rear seat. It was frost green, black stripes and dark green, standard interior. Later, I added a '63 Rochester fuel injection unit and front bumper guards to it. Second Z was a '73 LT. The LT option overrode any Z/28 badges, so it appeared to be an ordinary Camaro. It also had no console, no rear spoiler and was automatic on the column!!! All of that made it a real sleeper.
Great video. I am a big camaro fan. Dennis, when Kelsey comes and buys my 2020 ZL1 1LE with 300 miles and my 15 Z28 with 1500 miles in 25 years I will remember this episode.
Liked-Subscribed 👍EDIT: I felt for her, but selling it to Dennis was the BEST thing that she could've done, it was MEANT to be, NO DOUBT. Her husband is smiling down, cause he knows Dennis knows what the car needs and is BEST for the car in the future....What a GEM ❤
The end had me tear up great car great family! Dennis your a class act! Thanks!
The car is out of this world nice and cool. Best part was the toast at the end with the family! That's how you buy a 1 owner car with so much meaning! I tip my hat to you and your Crew Dennis👍👍
Loved this show on the 1972 Camaro. I have had a 1972 SS/RS Z27 (Not 28) body serial plate, for over 40 years. It was documented by Harold Coker of Coker Tire in the 1990's. Mine is also green but is a split bumper. Thank you for showing this one.
Back in the early 1970s I remember seeing a 1973 bright red with white stripes Z28 . The car sit under a car port attacked to the house. Across the street from my mom and dad's house. I was a teenager then . My older brother said the car had a low gear in it for drag racing stop light to stop light. It was a 4 speed car he said. The car never moved. I guess they bought it to look at. Beautiful car . These are some of the sharpest looking cars of that Era. My brother had a 1972 trans am. It was a strike car .low production car . Blue with white stripes. 455ho . This video brings back good memories of seeing a 1972 car. Great video. I'm glad Dennis is getting this car .you know it be taken care of. Like these people did.
Dennis love the fact that your so real , especially to this Family , how you care about others we need more of that in this Country. Thank you for being a great human being Brother , you all are outstanding !! MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
“Console to F-63” would mean it was transferred to car stock number F-63 at the dealership. This car was stock number F-46 on the key tag.
My first car was a 1975 Camaro, 350/th350, L88 hood scoop, and hugger orange. That was 1988 and I was 17. I got a speeding ticket the first day i had it on the road. This reminded me of that car. Great episode guys and a classy tribute to the original owner at the end. If my math is right, he passed at the age of 35. Too young. Proof that these cars, if loved, will live on after we are gone. As Dennis says, we are caretakers.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT WATCHING YOU DENNIS IS THAT YOU ALWAYS GIVE A CLASS ON AUTOMOTIVE HISTORY !!!! THANKS SINCE I DROPPED OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL !!!! LOL !!!!!
We are all caretakers but some People do it much better. A Wonderful Family with memories of a Loved one’s passion for his car also. Thanks for taking us along with you Dennis you’re a Top Notch person. Merry Christmas and to a Happy New Year’s to you and yours and to the Team. Be safe tjc111 U.S. Army Retired .
I learned to drive a stick on a very similar 1972 Z-28, mine was yellow, and it took me about three weeks to start out in first without burning rubber. Crazy amount of power.
Gator’s Pub. That place is awesome. 😊
I noticed when Sean was reading the odometer to Dennis and said 444, that Donna chuckled as she made the connection that Richard was having a bit of fun with her, as the physical address of the house 🏡 is also 444.
Beautiful car great family to be the keepers.good to see you include all the family, have a great Christmas to all of you at Colins bros.
Mr Richard Zollo definitely went to young. What a great family.
That family really did something special to preserve that car. And Gators wins restaurant of the year, what a spread !!! Blessings all around !!!😊
Every episode just gets better, and that's from the UK. Absolute respect
After watching, I'm even more amazed.
Wow, a 72' special order in original condition with 32,444 original miles.
Just the condition of the car is confirmation that there is no way that's 132,444 miles.
I noticed the exhaust in front of rear tires. He must have done that when headers were put on.
The bar is high for next yr already. 😮😁
I bet the 1156, 1157 bulbs are original, too.
Dennis, how do you flip a car like that? I know it’s a business for you, the story of that car is very emotional. I got choked up at the end. I don’t know as a family if I could’ve let that car leave the family. Crazy
As a local I can tell you 446 Putnam Pike in Greenville RI is now an Applebee's! It was cool hearing the history of where this was ordered, never knew it existed!
I've got a 72 Z28 that sat in my garage for the last 30 yrs. I'm finally bringing it back to life
Dennis , again you have expressed your empathy and compassion, for this family and their treasured car. Merry Christmas to all the coffee walk team. All I can say is , wow, till 2024.
Great car!
If I'm not wrong, 3 point shoulder belts only started very early January 72, with fasten seatbelt warning light.
I would've loved to see a bit more of interior and engine under daylight!...
Can you see the depth in the wife/ mothers eyes ? No words needed.
Wow ... drove up and down that road over the years and never saw that camaro. Guess it's been garaged awhile. I used to buy my parts at that dealership on RT44. We hung out at the A&W root beer with our hot rods and musle cars, which was practically next door.
Love the videos Dennis, always a class act, always pay full price, always paying for dinner. This is a pretty rare car indeed, a strike car no less, you your family and crew have a wonderful holiday, watching from Michigan.
awesome episode Dennis. The final moments were a very nice touch.
I used to own 2 1972 Camaros, one was an RS. Both were great cars, easy to work on,
modify, and fun to drive. I would pay a LOT of money to buy a car like this, even if it
needed some restoration and an engine rebuild.
I live just a few miles from that location in North Smithfield. I own a restored Hugger Orange 1969 Z/28, 46k miles. Not a Scuncio car though. The paperwork with that car was awesome to see. The steering wheel selection on that car has to make it a one of one!
If you noticed the widow couldn't take her eyes off Dennis at lunch.
I did notice , He was a knight in shining armor to her.
That was a great episode Dennis.... Outstanding!
ONE OF THE VERY BEST COFFEE WALK EPISODES. BEAUTIFUL FAMILY‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
Great find once again!
I've got to correct you on one thing Dennis, your pronunciation of "Berger" Chevrolet. It's not Berg-er
It's sounds like Ber-Jer.
I went to College up in Michigan, and lived in GrandRapids where the dealership is located on 28th street. My friend worked there too. I was corrected many times before I got it right.
I only mention this because I know you love information and want to get it right 👍
The ending was completely unexpected yet a class act. It was obviously hard to sell it but dennis softened the situation.
My God all that food looked delicious, such a nice family, they held onto the car a long time after the owners passing, Merry Christmas everyone.
Such a beautiful car that survived because it was owned by a great family. Hopefully it can be kept as original as possible
What a wonderful story, Dennis is a true gentleman and what a nice tribute to the original owner. I’m from Rhode Island and have followed this channel for years, so glad to see this story, hits home. God bless.
Seriously, I just want to go EAT with DENNIS.... especially if there's Bang Bang Shrimp!!!!
I would definitely like to have dinner and discuss cars with Dennis! I think we’re one of many who would like to do it.
Great to see you Dennis. Beautiful car and as usual, awesome video. Many thanks for everything and Happy Christmas to you, your family and all the “Coffee Walk” staff.🎄
In '73, I bought a 1972 4 speed Z28 from Sir Walter Chev Dealership in Raleigh NC, color blue w. black stripes. It had, I believe, the "deluxe" interior(?), center console, black interior w. wood grain gauge/interior trim. The steering wheel was totally different, more sporty. I so wish I had never sold that car.. Beautiful car, brings back memories. ..I do know how rare this car is.. Thanks for sharing your story.
what a amazing car and family! the original owner had some style for sure! my dream car has always been a 2nd gen camaro. i even wrote it down that one day i’ll own one back in the early 90s when i was in high school😂. 2021 was the year my dream came true❤! there were certain boxes that HAD to be checked in order for me to consider the purchase. ended up with a 1973 true z28 4speed with a new LS3 under the hood, and switched to the bumperettes instead of the full bumper. also had to be grey with black stripes. she’s a runner and a looker. only wish i still had the orig. engine but that went away when they swapped to the LS. one day i’ll step up to a 5 or 6 speed, just gotta save up some dough😊
Great find of a beautiful car from what looks like a great family.
The car couldn’t have ended up in better hands with Dennis and his team but I can’t help but think that if it was my dads car that he purchased new and a cool muscle car at that I wouldn’t let it go.
I am always impressed not only with Dennis's knowledge of the cars but his genuine, sincere way of treating anyone he comes into contact with. To have friends you have to be friendly, youur parents did an excellent job, people are just not taught this anymore.
Friend of mine bought a 73 Z28 from Sconzio in 73. Same set up. I was driving a 70 LS 6 M21 Chevelle. Blue white stripes. Fun cars. He got stuck on the Southeast expressway in Boston and said his leg was shaking from the pressure of the clutch. Stall and crawl.
Dennis ,incredible class act paying tribute,the previous owner...
