That car is beautiful and looks to be not destroyed by anyone, great find.
An incredible find and at an amazing price! You should feel very fortunate to find a split bumper that is still mostly complete. Congratulations!!
I'm jealous that is one of my dream cars love those early 70s camaros. I has a 76 when I was in my early 20s. Fun car.
Wow! Is like opening a time capsule!🤯👍
I had that same car in high school. Loved it!! Drove it everywhere. I miss that car
Dude that Camaro is gorgeous and has so much potential. Congratulations!
look for a build sheet
It is one of a kind beautiful car
Tip.......Lubricate the hood hinges so you don’t bend the hood
That interior has definitely baked in the sun for many years. It actually does look much better sitting on good tires.
Good luck on your restoration, I’ve had some partial restoration jobs myself, although that looks a little bit more than that. One thing I can say, it’s gonna take a lot of your time, energy, and money. But believe me, it is well, well worth it. Good luck
Its not only a '71 Camaro, its a '71 Camaro RS which makes it even more rare/desirable. Nice too, just about every replacement part is available for these.
I have a 1978, and a 1980 Camaro. The 78 has a Z28 front end. I really like that car you found, I look forward to seeing more videos from you as you get this thing road ready!!
Great Find. Enjoy your build. You will definitely love the build as , this is your "GRAIL CAR" Good luck & Enjoy. Keep posting progress.
It is a split bumper car which is a somewhat rare beast..
This is one of my dream cars also . Nice find
I saw your video I subscribed as soon as I saw the Camaro great find bro
Thanks for putting on gloves, even I was feeling dirty.
Classic industries has a everything you need to restore. I did mine in 1992 and had to hunt for everything
randy kirkorian thanks! They had a discount sale a few months ago I was able to get the dash for a great price. It’ll be a long time until I get into the interior though
@@sandiegorestorations877 any updates?
Great find. A little at a time, just don't give up.
Please continue to send videos.....AWESOME!
This is my favorite Camaro in this date too this car is absolutely beautiful
Put solid boards under the jack stands
Use S.O.S. pads on the paint. Then linseed oil the paint. Rebuild the engine and trans. The suspension too. New tires and brakes. Redo the interior in cloth material. Drive it! Better than any new car.
You can buy parts all day for it. Sleeper 427 motor! Shawn.
I have one, been mine since 87. I was 17. Just had mine painted again. Enjoy it! The knobs by the way under the steering wheel opens the vents:)
I suggest you watch vice grip Garage on RUclips he has many first start videos get it running clean the inside and just drive it for a month or so just to get in touch with the car it will also give you an even bigger love for the car.
Post part 3!!!
Eli4Cars just posted it, it’s a little longer than these but it’s on my page now!
San Diego Restoration thank you I’m enjoying the journey
You can do entire interior on your own, seat cushions, seats covers, console, dash, rear package tray, headliner, carpet, door panels, all too easy and parts available on line. See fbody warehouse RUclips channel for tons how to videos
keep working on it! i just brought a 71 home and its gonna be a hard fight, but i will get it built. peace
Check the dates, it's been well over a year,he's gave up.
Go on bro !
Cool project
so clean congratulation man,
i really really loved it man..Thanks for tge video..I'm eager to watch the nest part too😊
Nice! Getting the tires on definitely put some life back into it!
RestoCar yep it looks a lot better now - hopefully I can get those tires rolling soon
Good score !!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't stop laughing when he couldn't figure out how to open the hood!
This is MY dream car also, love it!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
The patina looks awesome. People pay money to replicate that look.
Looks good. Make sure you redirect the gas from a smaller gas container should you try to get it started, that old tank has years of rust etc. split bumper looks mean
luis arteaga thank you for that, I got this comment a little too late and might have messed up the fuel pump but not sure yet
I'm so excited for you. I'm following to see how it all comes together
Look up the Powernation channel and find the video on rebuilding the 70 Camaro.
When taking off bolts or nuts use pb blaster.
looking good even with just the new tyres on it
Dry ice cleaning will bless it...
I had the same 71 camaro i bought for $550 dollars 20 years ago.. Was in mint condition other than the stereo was stolen. Junked it cause when i drove it as a teenager i was pulled over by the police over 30 times in it. the V8 exaust smell would make my friends sick so they never asked me for a ride!
That car needs a ton of work one thing you have working in your favor is the body is in pretty damn good condition. The good thing is if that the original engine and transmission in that car it's all numbers matching VIN number on the frame the engine serial number and the one on the transmission all match and it's worth a lot more money it's all the numbers match
This car has beauty ring !...
That's a cool car. Looks like it only needs
Paint
Interior
Suspension
Drivetrain
Going to be expensive but worth it.
Funny To See An OLD CAR Rookie Going Thru A Old Car! LOL!
Fbody warehouse has tons of parts, also TExas trans ams and trans ams of Florida have parts for f body
Nice man not much of a comaro fan but, 71's are my favorite.
derrick therrien thank you! This is my favorite model by far
Wait a moment. In the first video did you try to open the door with the ignition key?
Yes. Proof idiots get lucky too. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. This guys videos are painful to watch for me. Did you hear him say "I read online you don't need a key to open the hood"? Also, "I don't know what these do"? They are freaking vent pulls. Just hurts to see a person with NO clue have this.
aimeagle maybe he’s just trying his best abs learning also bro. I don’t know a lot about cars either and I just got into cars and this seems really amazing to me
That stickiness of the once soft plastic parts is from the harder plastic deteriorating and leaving the oil impregnated residue behind.
My dream car is a cadillac deville 1967, but I'm from Denmark so it'll take some time before I have enough money to get it imported from the states and restored. Planning on driving it daily as it was meant to
Ya gotta start somewhere...
Second that vice grip will get you straight bypass gas tank pull plugs back out PB break in each cylinder let sit and work harmonic balance bolt back and forth to break it loose
our 1975 blazer has the same stickiness on the steering wheel any idea what it is?
my 73 Nova has been sitting, same exact stickyness on wheel. Something about the material degrading. I've seen the same thing happen to handles of old tools. For some reason my 79 Blazer doesn't have this problem
I hope this car will be restored
One mistake guys make is not pulling the plugs and lubing the rings on cars that sat for along time.
I fill them with diesel til it runs out the valve covers, mystery oil or pb blaster the cyl.s and let the sit for a week, then run the oil pump, then try to turn the crank by hand
The pulls are air vents
Spray Kroil on that wheel stud.....Better yet buy a case of Kroil, you're gonna need it. Just use it outside...!!
Don* t get rid of those rims, they are hard to get,cand you have set of 4 maybe 5.
He should have washed it at a do it yourself car wash vacuum it out spray some pinesol mix with water and wiped down all what he can and also get a car cover to protect it a little bit after cleaning it!!!
The body is very rust free. You need an interior!!😄 Does it have the original 350? Amazing deal, very cool find...you did VERY well!
Your car has a cassette stereo my guy
Nice find. If you need info on fixing it up. Go to nastyz28 website forum section and everything you would ever want to know about these car will be answered.
youngbreed72 great tip! I checked it out there’s a bunch of good info on there!
Use pb blaster ALOT like one other commenter said . bolts bad bad buy new . u need dry shop . you can rent fix it shops in some big towns . 10×16
You really need to figure out how to jack the car up properly, so that you don't damage it unnecessarily
Can I have some more please...part 3
Quinton Saayman just uploaded it!
@@sandiegorestorations877 watched it and loved it....next just a engine bay clean and start up
You can just twist those lugs right off easy then just replace the lugs
That engine bay needed a good power wash.
If I was you I would keep the stock rims on it when it fully restored
You're basically going to have to replace the whole interior. Good thing is the parts are available. But your investment costs will go up.
That radio is worth money . Don't trash it.
Show
This is the type of car which was a ghost car I saw in 1976 in South Texas HWY 77 S. It was a coppery orange color and briefly wove back and forth behind my VW bug.
Satin clear the patina...
Pound a smaller 6 point socket on it
How many miles on it
You got a link to Part 3? I can't find it.
MLP-Hot-Rod I just uploaded it today: ruclips.net/video/2pLlABZ8kNE/видео.html
NFW he’s gonna restore that thing in front of his condo. 🤣
Man! They should’ve at least throw a cover on it or put in a covered carport! It would’ve been in a better condition.
Are you doing original or resto mod ?
Hello Sir when you will start working on this can anxiously waiting from 🇵🇰 PAKISTAN.
Man I jack cars up damn near everyday on gravel I'm more worried for the car and where your jacking the car up from I just hope it's on the frame and not somewhere you can wreck stuff at because I've seen people jack the car up on sketchy areas like the tie rods and stuff
Perhaps check if tires hold air.
Nice but find but you have a snoot full of work ahead of you..the rust through on both side of the rear roof columns is a sure sign of serious rust beneath ...I do wish you the best though
You also can get alot of parts on EBay from dealers.
Too bad it a small block car it would of been cool if it had a big block anyway is it a 307ci or a 350ci and is it a 2 bbl?
if you happen to run across some gold coins in the car you got to find on your hands
BP blaster the lug nuts soakem
Looks like a damn miura... kinda
Chek the oil please
heat the bolt up with a torch first
5 seconds later you say blowtorch
Any updates :) inquiring minds want to know
Eric Bazan part 3 has just been uploaded!
San Diego Restoration I don’t see part three! Maybe I missed it :)
Eric Bazan try this link: ruclips.net/video/2pLlABZ8kNE/видео.html
what ever happen to this car hu?
Gotta love watching people fiddling with cars that they don’t know anything about them. I’ll give him a year before he gives up on it.
I build these cars for a living
Boy he is in for a bank account surprise lol
We all gotta start somewhere man. I bought a 72 Dodge Dart in high school, and it was a painful learning experience. I wouldn’t go back and change that though, because above all it was a learning experience, first of many.
Yo, Stan ... Where are your car videos? I'll give you a year to put up some quality content proving your mechanical expertise. I assume you'll just sit on your ass and be a keyboard warrior to anyone who doesn't already have 30 years of experience. You give off tiny scrote-mcgote vibes.
I bet he never gives up. I bought my dream car in 1993 and I am still working on it. If you find the one it may never get finished but the work never stops.
@@josephlacy9397 Yes the old cars cost a lot to fix up and keep running. They will always keep you busy that is for sure. its the time/money thing that gets me
Home Depot not the place for car stuff .....try a auto parts store.
audio is too low.................i can't hear you!!!
You need a big can of wd40 sunny
Chipping it out of stone .
You've got your work cut out for you ...
Dude gave up..probally a good thing
All the stickiness is it being extremely Sun cooked all the damage in that car is Sun cook
Part 3?

This is so frustrating to watch
