Love that year Camaro she’s a beauty
Awesome car 🇺🇸
I hope to have my 73 RS looking that good one day , that is a fantastic looking Z28. Great vid
Beautiful, wish it was mine
Too bad that someone installed the incorrect fan shroud. Get that Caution Fan shroud off of that Z. You know better than that.
John Milner yes you noticed that as well as me. Plus there’s a few little tiny things that are incorrect.
The manifold to cyl. Head gaskets are not right. Chevs. had no gaskets there, they were machine fit.
The exhaust clamps are not correct.
ALL that primer is incorrect, the splatter paint went on quarters A lot higher.
Do the ign. Cables have Packard on them?
Your rear spring leafs are
too thick.
The rear end sets much too high.
The ass end sets higher on one side than other.
Your neg. Batt. Cable to alt .bracket is incorrect on end, yours is a slide on end.
Orig. had a wrap around end, with the flat side against alt. bracket.
A wonderful Beautiful car, with remarkable detail.
Love that color and paint.
Note: when detailing a black detail , it is good to have the correct black.,not gloss black,not flat black but universal black. ( around radiator crossmember, firewall, etc.
Those painted black fuel tank straps have got to go!
Sorry, ASE, L1,X1,C1, MASTER TECH, WITH 54 YEARS EXPERIENCE.
THANKS FOR SHARING CAR.
Nice
The correct tires for 1970 would be Good/Year F60 15'' Polyglas raised white letter.
quit nit picking!!!
The "wide oval 60" actually.
that's nice, I have a 72 ss 402 , keep cruising
カマロ.1970.Z28.カッコイイ最高、好きだよ❤️サウンドV8最高ほしいいスタイル最高、好きだよ❤️
2:07 plugs where the A.I.R. tubing used to go in the exhaust manifold?
the COPO style rear spoiler wasnt introduced for a option til after april of 1970
Beautiful wish I had it 👍
Holy fuqing shit that's my future car
nice , I use to have one with 307 engine . But yellow color ???
Nothing wrong with an M20 Muncie. The 4th gear is an overdrive gear, so you can get better gas mileage. I had one once in a '72 Camaro with a hipo 327 motor, I got about 25 mpg on the highway with it. It is a tough tranny, and can take a lot of abuse, at least from a small block.
Hans Anderson 4th gear is a 1:1 ratio and is the same for all 3 Muncie trans, M20, M21 and M22.
Well, I do know that the M21 and M22 are "close ratio" gearboxes. The M20 is a "wide ratio" gearbox. All of you can look up the gear ratios on
the internet.
As said above non have an overdrive gear. All 1:1 final drives.
Nice car but the RS/Z28 is soooo much better ....................
I really need to win the mega millions
love the car. spit bumper would've been better.
1970 Camaros do not have a split bumper.
@@WoodedAcres RS option =split bumper
@slade bonge / you could have ordered a RS/ SS or an RS option by itself as well
@slade bonge / yeah I had one . It was my first car at age 16. Drunk driver rear ended me & totaled it, not to mention, nearly killing me
@slade bonge / yeah, I'd give anything to have that car today. It was sweet. Purchased for just under 4 grand. Now you have to spend 50 grand to get a nice one
I wished it had a slight shade of yellow mixed with red.
Frame off restoration ? Thought it was a unibody?
Boss302 Stang front part of unibodies have frames. They unbolt.
Well, the sub frame comes off, the leaf springs come off and the rear comes off. Soooooooooooo.
What about the period correct tires they came with Firestone wide ovals
Most muscle cars were offered with either wide oval OR polyglas bias plys....
The C badge on the front of the hood should be red with a chrome C. There's plenty of fake Z/28s out there.
Incorrect. That is the original badge for 1970 only. In 1971 they went to the colored badge.
The Z28 had a 373 standard rear gear set, 410 was an option. GM DID not use an M20 with these two gear sets. It was common to use an M20 with the 308 gear set. If it has an M20 then its wrong.
U R definitely correct on this one !
The Z28 was avail with a Muncie M20, M21 and M22. The std gears were 3.73 and 4:10 was optional. No Z28 in 1970 came with 3:08 gears. Mine was built in Norwood and I bought it in 1981 from the orig owner and it came with the M20 with 3:73 gears. I have the GM order guide with all the RPO descriptions and prices. I still own the car today. The GM papers and RPO info are avail online in a PDF file if you search on 1970 Camaro vintage PDF. I also have the GM Canada Document from GM that lists the VIN, what Dealer it was shipped to and the list of RPO options including the M20 wide ratio Muncie.
Watching the video I caught that discrepancy too. Was going to comment, but then saw yours. I had a 70 Z28 and 73 LT1. Great cars!
@@johnmilner7603 M-20's were not available for L-78 and Z/28's.(1967-1969) M-21's were the standard issue trans. If it was a solid lifter motor, then it was an M-22 starting in 1968. Gear ratios do NOT determine the trans type. Engine size does.
Wooded Acres were talking about the 70 in the video, but since you brought up the 1st Gen, your also incorrect. I bought a 1968 Z/28 in 1974 and it was ordered with a M20. It was shipped to Canada new and is in the GM Canada Doc files with all the RPO list of options which my friend has and still owns my 68 Z/28 today. See page 64 of 132 that lists all 3 Muncie transmissions available. It’s 1/2 way down the document and the printed page is 16. Here www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/Camaro/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro.pdf Here is a photo of my 1968 Z/28 my1970z28.com/COPO/images/68_LF.jpg and my 70 Z28 I bought in 1981 my1970z28.com/COPO/images/body_2019_1.JPG
Why would you use rusty bolts on the alternator bracket?
That's says a lot about the work they do
Hard to find originals that aren't aftermarket.
Back to original, besides the paint
How much I’ll send a check now
the m20 transmission is wrong ,,it should be the m22 rock crusher
That's an option ,not standard equipment
So what your saying is, you put somewhere around $45,000 into a $30, 000 car
@port nut Exactly. A true numbers matching '70 Z28 with almost all new parts would bring $50 grand at least. If it had the RS option, more like $55 grand or so.
But, can this car do a burnout??
Sounds like at one time it was a salvage title. Or maybe you got away with that one.
That cheesy vinyl top has to go!
That's '70-1/2 Z-28 350/360 h.p.
Wrong 4-Speed Transmission. The 1970 Z-28 Chevy Camaro Z-28 . Came with a Close Ratio -M 21 Muncie Transmission . THE the M-20 Muncie , was the WIDE RATIO TRANSMISSION. ALSO not every thing is right, on the Engine . SMOG Equipment is missing.
RICHARD maaske you again???i just went to barret jackson website there was a 70 camaro z28 i copied from the page For sale at auction: Lot #170 - This beautifully restored Mulsanne Blue, 1970 California-produced, Z/28 Camaro is a no-apologies car that is an absolute blast to drive. The car is still equipped with its matching-numbers solid lifter 350 LT1 V8 and COZ 12-bolt posi-traction rear axle. It was originally equipped with a heavy-duty M40 Turbo 400 automatic, which was removed and converted over to a Richmond 5-speed manual transmission, matching numbers M40 Turbo 400 included. Drivability is greatly improved with the modern 5-speed gearbox, and the LT1 power plant pulls hard in all gears. The code 712 deluxe black interior of this Z/28 is outfitted with 1970-only low-back bucket seats, beautiful wood trim throughout, a Hurst shifter, a modern CD player, a clock and its original 8,000 rpm tachometer. Power steering and power brakes ensure that this Camaro remains easy to drive, even in modern traffic....your wrong again you can order it with a auto tranny or m20,m21

Correct.
I love the 70 Camaro.
I only dislike two Detroit trim options for muscle cars.
I cannot figure why people put vinyl tops on muscle cars.
It ruins the flow of the overall design language.
The other pet peeve is to ruin a muscle car with an automatic.
The sound of running through the gears and shifting is why we enjoy driving these great cars.
As a member of the Disabled American Veterans, some of us that can't drive a stick are mighty happy for the ones that are automatics.
@@anthonynelson9136 I hear you Anthony.
I nearly lost my right leg many years ago.
Surgeries, skin graphs, and two years recovering.
My years were during our time in Vietnam.
My comments are intended to convey frustration at how relatively few hot rods and muscle cars within the car culture are manuals.
A manual just sounds cooler when you run through the gears.
I come from a time in my youth ( mid to late 60's) when automatics were usually disdained at car gatherings.
Different world from now.
@@jimhenry6844 It's all good.
@@anthonynelson9136 Roger that,my friend.
The M-20 is a standard duty transmission. Z-28's had M-22 "rock crusher" transmissions, not the M-20. The gears in the M-22 were straight-cut instead of helical like in the M-20. Straight-cut gears are stronger but they are noisy hence the name "rock crusher".
@slade bonge M-20's, M-21's, T-10s, and other manual did appear in Z-28's AFTER 1970 but the 70 1/2 Z-28's with manuals came STANDARD with an M-22. In 1970, unless you ordered an automatic, the Z-28's only came with the M-22. I owned one of them, as did my best friend, and also a coworker. All of them had M-22's. I have rebuilt M20's, M-21's, M-22's, and even a T-10 and I know the history of those transmissions well. The manual transmissions in the 70 Z-28's had a very distinctive whine due to the M-22s straight cut gears. M-20's and 21's have helical cut gears which makes them quieter. The M-21 even had the same gear ratio's as the M-22 but everything in the M-22 was stronger. The 11:1 compression ratio of the LT1 produced higher torque and horsepower than the Z-28's from 71 on up. The LT1 was the standard engine for the 70 Z-28 and the M-22 was the only manual GM paired with 1970 Z-28's and LT1 optioned Corvettes. The M-22 was NOT a special order item on the 1970 Z-28. It was part of the Z-28 package. I have never seen any OFFICIAL GM document that confirms what you are claiming. Believe whatever you want but you are wrong.
@slade bonge Lighten up Francis. I never said you couldn't get an automatic in the 70 1/2 Z-28 and never brought up AC. As a retired automation and robotics engineer I would love to see what an F-body "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL" looks like. Why don't you post a picture of your "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL". I've worked in manufacturing my entire adult life. The last job I had I worked for Thyssen Krupp System Engineering. They build the robots and automation responsible for building and testing engines, transmissions, and rear axels for nearly every car manufacturer on the planet. I have written programs for machines that build portions of engines and then had to write the operators' manuals for those machines.
I would love to see what a "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL" looks like. I would guess it might look something like the Understanding Women book seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/109161978@N03/49146230943
I can only assume you got taken when you bought your Z-28 and the idea of being scammed is bothering you.
@slade bonge That's not how it works. You claimed you had a "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL" that would support your claims. So show me.
@slade bonge You are using some fanboys website as your source of information. And the very first sentence in the engine information is incorrect. "Engine: Includes special 350 CID, 360-bhp V-8 derived from Corvette LT-1." The LT-1 was originally developed for the Z-28, not the Corvette. The LT-1 in the Corvette was factory rated to have slightly more power than the LT-1 in the Z-28. Zora Arkus Duntov was not going to have a Z-28 with more power than a Vette. The engines are part for part identical according to factory parts manuals. The only thing different was the Vettes had "rams horn" exhaust manifolds which might account for the discrepancy. 1970 Z-28's with 4 speeds came with "heavy-duty" close ratio 4 speeds. The M-22 is the only Muncie to have the "heavy-duty" moniker. Your "source" confirms this as does this website. I don't know which site copied the other but they both have a lot of the exact same information worded exactly the same. www.ss396.com/cars/1970-Camaro/
One last thing, "Grampa" was building engines, rebuilding transmissions, and doing a frame-off restoration of his Z-28 probably before you were born.
It looks like I may actually have grandchildren before you post your "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL".
@slade bonge Believe whatever you want to believe. The source you provided doesn't support your claim. Where is that "FACTORY ASSEMBLY MANUAL" you claimed to possess? How hard would it be to take a picture of the manual and the page "which clearly states otherwise"? I'll let you have the last word for now. This is boring to me.
There are lots of know it all people who don't know 100% the real facts on the 1970 Z28 and shouldn't be guessing and posting, cause the comments are just too funny. So do your homework before replying for the whole World to see. Yes and there are a few things incorrect or that got missed on this restoration. Oops.
Ok tell me the years the Camaro emblem on the nose came in red and which were only done in chrome, and which Camaro's had "By Chevrolet" and where was that exactly? from the 2nd gen without cheating then.
@@rexsterlingbuchanan2929 '71-73. '70 on the trunk/deck lid. My turn: What option did you have to have on a '67-'69 Camaro to get rear armrests? Trivia question: In a 1969 Camaro Z/28 how many possible tach redline and max rpm tachs were produced and what were they? Game set and match.
@@WoodedAcres oh man I don't know the answer to that one. To be honest I didn't know they came with rear armrest. And the different RPM tachometer would be depending on which motor option you got I think it went from 6000 to 7500 not for certain right now it's been awhile. Great question
So it was a rust bucket lol
doubt it's a real z.he didnt show the tach.
It’s not a RS/Z28 tho
Wreckzz Tutorials The RS was a heavier car.
At least they didn’t try to fake it and they left the original full front bumper in place.
Don't worry--after a few winters in Canada it'll look its age again in no time.
U don’t drive a $100,000 car like this in the winter
Massively overstated car. Many many wrong parts.
It is missing the Air pump . and all the parts that went with the Factory - Smog set up for the . Air Pollution control . That General Motors- Chevy .Had to put on, Back than. To meet air quality.
Not worth the money because it's the fat Camaro!
All that money wasted on the ugliest restyling of a Camaro ever smh
OK we get it everything is original and new and correct. But it's still a chevy, door handles and radio knobs will fall off. Trade it in for a real car, a road runner or super 🐝 bee
That's cuz mopars don't go fast enough to hurt anything
@@williepelzer384 any 340 Mopar will smoke any Chevy big block. Baddest motor ever made beside the 🐘 elephant motor
In the early 70 s I raced all models of mopars don't recall getting beat in the quarter mile by any of them. 67 Chevelle 327-400 turbo. 456 gears.
@@williepelzer384 poor memory due to aging
And the slowest or as you put it baddest was the 383 dog motor in their 3 ton cars.
