Good video man. Not over produced or adding stuff in it you dont need. Some other channels have got to the point every video is like a circus act. So thanks for putting out a good straightforward video thats easy to watch and follow along. You have a easy way about you that makes it like if we was there giving you a hand we could stand you😂. Some videos the host gets rubbing the wrong way after awhile when they think thet have to go crazy to entertain. Just keep being you and put out good content like this.
This was my grandfather’s car! The lady that drove it to school was my mom, I unfortunately never got to see her run until now! Can’t wait to see what else you do to it.
Man that's awesome, Im happy I was able to get her running for yall to see it. Hopefully I will have it roadworthy soon, and I will take you for a ride in it of you want. Would you happen to know why it was parked? Thanks for the view and sub!
@@LyonRacing24everyone in the family was always told it only needed a clutch, then parts just got picked off it like the radiator while it sat for all that time. I’ll see if I can find out if there was anything else with it.
Good deal, thanks man. I will pull the Transmission down the road and check all of that. It feels like it has a ok clutch peddle, but it engages at the very bottom.
My dad had a 1972 Camaro 350 SS when I was young. Unfortunately it was sold in 1989. 10 years ago dad was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and stopped driving all together. 4 years ago I was able to get a hold of a 1971 Camaro 396 SS that we now are enjoying together for Sunday drives. Enjoyed your video Thank you
Man I hate to hear that about your dad. I know that’s hard. A 71 Camaro is the best looking Camaro in my opinion! And you have a SS with a 396 that’s awesome. I know for a fact y’all really enjoy cruising it around. Thanks for watching bud!

Wow! That’s so awesome! It was my dad’s car and I drove it. I sold it to Matt. I can’t wait to see the final masterpiece. Makes my heart happy to hear it run! Loved that car!
I had a 78 z28 with the 350. It was gold with black graphics a t top car. It had the louver on the rear window. Great car, except for valve seats and leaking t tops. These cars are beautiful. Good content.
@@LyonRacing24After totaling my 78 Z i scored a very sweet '80 Z. Gold with tan interior, 4 speed with T-tops. Man i loved cruising that car in the summer. Felt so airy inside with the light colored interior with the roof off. 3 years later i bought a 87 Supra Turbo 5-speed and had to sell her for cash to get insurance for the Toyota because i was so broke. Ugh....crazy stupid stuff back when you are young.. still miss that car
You did the best possible list of things for a revival, pulling the plugs and using Marvel is essential, and not getting any contaminates down the carb is essential also. Great job
Bro,, 😎 I think I'm enjoying your channel,,, just because you remind me to be easy on life,,, it's complicated enough without me stressing and depressing,,,ur happy go lucky attitude is refreshing,,, I need to be around people like you so that I can live in the present,,, not the past... thank you brother...
Man thank you that’s awesome! I try to not get stressed about much. If you find a problem just work through it. You will get through it! Thanks for the comment man made my day. Thanks for watching man I really appreciate it.
Wow! My dad has one exactly the same as this one, color, year and all. He drove it in high school and parked it after he graduated in '86. It's been sitting ever since in our backyard and I've always wanted to try to get it running again and restore it. Will save this video and hopefully it will help me in my diagnosis when I finally get around to fixing it. Funny, I also have a white Bimmer too! (E38 740iL)

Hey man, my uncle had the same exact car , a few years back , Brown 79Zee , With 4 Speed , he put some kind of 375 horse Cam from Chevrolet , it had 373 posi , it was wicked , he outrun everything in Chattanooga, Tennessee with it , even the police , he outrun them so bad , they didn’t know if it was a Camaro or a Firebird lol , it was ridiculous. What a cam swap made to this engine. , he even put the Z 28 mufflers back on it , great car though , glad to see you fix it up 👍👍👍 they’re rare cars , they only made about 311 , with four speeds that year
@@JeffRipper-z2s hell yeah man that’s awesome! I bet that thing would move down the road! The Chattanooga Z28 Bandit lol yeah man I’m in the process of the restoration now! It’s fighting me but we will get there. Thanks for watching man!
@@LyonRacing24you're welcome man. Thanks for awesome content with one of my favorite cars of all time. They weren't fast. But damn do they look good. And sound good too.

Man thats a good looking car, I love that color. I want to do the exact same thing with this car down the road. Just some simple blot on stuff to wake it up a bit. After a full tune-up lol it needs it bad. I just released a new video about cleaning it up a bit. @@thagerdorn2009
@@LyonRacing24 thanks man. It's all original. Been in Ohio all it's life and was a daily driver for many years. Almost lost it off the back of a mayflower semi moving truck when we were loading to move to Texas in 97. But thank God we didn't. I've bought and sold over 200 cars myself over the years but that Camaro has been the most reliable car ever. Can't beat an old 350. We had an 81 Z28 with 8600 original miles a few years ago. It was just too nice to drive. Grey with the silver stripe kit. Sold it to a guy in Florida in 2018.
It must have really been taken care of to be In Ohio all it life. usually Northern cars are about to fall apart lol Dude if yall would have lost it that would have been horrible. The old SBC is a great engine if you take care of it. yeah that 81 was way too nice to put on the road. I don't have that problem most of my cars need a lot of work. @@thagerdorn2009
Man I bet that thing was sharp! Got to love a muscle car with a 4 speed! Probably my favorite thing about the car. I’m ready to get it out on the road. Thanks for watching bud!
Very cool! It's comparable condition to my grandma's Camaro when I got a hold of it. Some parts are better, some are worse. Subscribed and I'm following along for inspiration and ideas!
@@LyonRacing24 yeah mine had a roached starter and cross threaded spark plug on the back passenger side, the one you refused to record 😂 my friends are coming over this weekend to help push it in the garage, then ill be able to take panels off and get to things much easier. I’ll definitely be rolling the camera!
@@DirtSweatGears lol I can see how someone cross threatened it but it’s still crappy they did. Heck yeah man, and I will be on the lookout for the video! If you need some help send me a dm on insta. It’s linked to my RUclips.
Had a Beautiful mint '78 Z-28 back in 1986. Silver w/ black interior. Hitting a curb dead on with the brakes locked did her in. I couldn't believe the car was totaled with not even a scratch on her. good luck with this one!
Good for you man, good find, I've had to replace so many rubber brakes lines on the front of them Chevys, the trucks too from setting, over time they collapse inside and lock the brakes up. Now all you need to go with the mullet, is a set of cragers..lol
Thank you sir and yeah I’m sure these lines are swollen shut. Brakes do feel like they are there just need some work lol some cragers would be mint. Might have to start the search lol
I built a 78 Z/28, pulled the 350 and auto, put in a 454, and super T-10 and a 70 12bolt axle. It was the best car I ever built, drove awesome. Gave it to my son, who sold it a few months after. I'm still trying to get over the trama and sadness 😭
Hello, great find. Just letting you know that those wheels are called turbine.( Rare) They were an option on 78 and 79 Z28. I believe you might be able to have ordered those on other Camaro models Rally sport, Type Lt.
Me and the wife picked up a 68 in the same condition. Were now driving it regularly . It I could I'd send a picture. The 78. 79 Camaro drive so much better .
That’s awesome man, and that’s my plan as soon as I get off work today im going to film a video of cleaning it up. Trying to get closer to roadworthy. Thanks for watching bud!
LMAO on the mullet, kid lived next to my parents had one when i was in high school, he thought it was bad ass car, and it was... until i got my hands on a 73 Road Runner. Bought an old Gran Fury with a 440 under the hood, swapped out the 340 for the 440, his Z28 got a steady diet of dust that summer.
They are definitely my favorite Car the 4 speed was the cheery on top! This year model is my favorite because well they are at this point still affordable lol I have some part on the way so keep on the look out for another video! Thanks for watching bud
The pinned comment is my cousin, i always remember going to my grandparent's house and seeing it sit there and thinking how cool it would be to restore it and drive it around. Originally me and my dad were going to fix it up but we figured it would be too much of a project for us. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Yeah there is a good work that needs to be done, but it will just take time. It’s a great car to fix up tho. Thanks for watching the video, and the Sub!
Sitting 36 years? That means that this car spent less than 10 years on the road. I bought my 1978 Camaro in 1987 when it was only 9 years old and you wouldn't believe the amount of rust it acquired in that short time. The 4 speed manual transmission cars are very hard to come across. One thing I have noticed about cars built in the 1970's is that the body and interior has no problem self destructing without any help.
Yeah 36 I talked to the original owners and it was parked because of the clutch. Seems fine now but I haven’t put a big load in it. O I can believe the rust the core supports are rust attractors. Thanks for watching bud
Being a 4 spd camaro and the fact shes a runner would be enough for me to toss a couple 3 grand into her provided structure is solid enough to work with. Parts are easy to find and cheap . I used to love having cameros my 78 was one of my first cars in high school bought it for 500 bucks back in 87 or 88 and proceeded to burn through 3 more and boy other than being rattle traps they took good punishment and asked for more . Think its time for another late 70s early 80s project and create a monster. Ive been inspired by this channel and enjoyed every minute of it .I subscribed and looking foward to see what you do??😂😂
Yeah man the money is already being spent on this ole girl, just haven’t had time to film a video because I’m working a shutdown. Man 500 for a clean running Camaro would be awesome in today money lol this is my 2nd Camaro of this year range, one day I will make a video on the other one it’s more of a passion project. Reading that I have inspired you and you enjoyed the video is awesome man. Best thing I’ve read today 110%! Thanks for watching and subscribing. More videos coming soon!
Man I am SO jealous. I have been wanting a really nice domestic car exactly like this to daily for a LONG time. You don't find cars like that around Pittsburgh for less than $5-$10,000. I would really love to have a nice 350 Camaro 4 speed manual in good (or at least decent) shape for a decent price. I would get everything that it needs to be running and stopping reliably, clean the entire interior and exterior, and I would seriously drive it daily. I did have a 1974 Z28 back in the day, but it was a full drag car. My brother owns it now in Florida and he has done a full restomod restoration on it.
Hi how you doing I just came across your channel nice channel I love old cars I have been working on cars since like 84 yes I'm old lol I had alot of nice ones back in the day novas Chevelle's mustangs and so liking the channel will be watching more videos hope you and your family have a great day my friend
yeah man yall had all the great cars new back then. It must have been awesome. Thanks for Watching and Subscribing! Well will and you have a good day too buddy.
You just earned yourself a new subscriber! The 1979 camaro is one of my dream cars, my fathers going to hand his 1976 chevelle laguna s3 to me when he cant drive it anymore. Im 16 and i have 2 cars i wrench on alot. One is going to be my daily. They arent old, they are from the early 2000s. But the chevelle will be my project some day. I can tell you can make it as big as Vice grip garage, junkyard digs, pole barn garage, dylan mccool, and mortske repair. Cant wait to see the progress on this car. I was shocked to see you only had 600+ subscribers!
Heck yeah that awesome man thanks for the support! 76 laguna will be a awesome car man. 2 projects at 16 already thats what I'm talking about lol 2000s aren't too old but they are getting there. My 03 BMW feels brand new when I start working it after working on my Camaros or Javelin lol Its my hope that one day the channel will grow that big I guess we will all see together bud. Once again Thanks for watching and the support bud!
@LyonRacing24 Thank you. I taught myself how to work on them just with youtube videos. I work out of a shed with all the tools I've purchased since i started working on them. There's no garage, sadly, and im up north, so sometimes i gotta work in the snow and cold but i feel like working on cars can be a good time to just get away and have time to yourself. I love that your wife and kids like hanging around, i always love having the opportunity to work on his chevelle. It's getting posi-traction this summer and a new cam. It was a late 90s restoration before my grandfather purchased it. Sadly, he passed in 2018 and left the car for my dad. I also saw that somebody mentioned that the rims are rare. They are correct. They are very rare. Also, if you come across one of these camaros with t-tops, that's a rare option also. Good luck with the camaro it seems rusty, but it's such a beautiful car. I can't wait to see the future videos on it.
@@DJsBackup man working out of a shed in the northern winter isn’t fun at all lol yeah it’s a family affair around here. It’s hard to not have all the help you need lol sad to hear about your grandpa but it’s awesome you carrying the torch for him! The Camaro has alot of rust for a southern car but it’s nothing we can’t fix! A new video should be out tomorrow!
You can find you one! I had a 78 F150 I bought for $500, drove it for years. Traded that for a 70 VW Bug that didn't work out, and last November I traded that for a 79 Camaro. Love that car!
I love seeing and hearing an old F body brought back to life but I’m most impressed with you moving that hood off the car with no mechanical or extra human help. That’s the all-American do-it-yourself by any means necessary spirit in action!
Oh wow reminds me of my Z28. My Dad got it fir me right before my Sr. Year in high school it had T tops was a darker blue with metal flake. Dang thing looked green under a street light. And later put crager ss wheels on. I also started dating a girl from a blind date with my friend. She also had a 79 Z28 but it didn't have t tops. The salesman and my dad grew up knowing each other. His brother was the state Trooper thst gave the driving test. I sure wish I still had it was around the time smokey and the bandit come out. So there was several trams am running around. I smoked all those and blew the big chicken on their hoods off. I did do a little to the engine. Man talk about great times with tgst car I also became a man in it if you catch my meaning lol I subed to your channel keep saving those older cars
Heck yeah man that’s awesome! I can only imagine how BA that was as a Senior crushing around in a Z28! Had to give the thunder chicken the smoke! Thanks for watching buddy and thanks for the support man! We really appreciate it!
Yeah man she has, I told my wife this has to be a God thing. Every part of it just fell into place. Thanks man and yeah I think the wig did help a lot lol
I worked at the Chevy dealership body shop in 1979. Those cars had horrible build quality and most had warrentee repair issues for fit and finish including one that crabbed down the road because the rear axle was not in strait
Heck yeah man views from across the big water as my boy calls it! Yeah it’s in desperate need of a tune up lol I’m getting everything together to go through the carb, plugs, cap, and rotor. Should see that video in a few weeks! Thanks for watching man.
O for sure man! I mean while you in there doing the job might as well get a cam with some lob separation for all the chop! What time is it over there? @@adamweston4152
I had a 71;RS, with a 350, and an 1980 v6 3.8,,,, but I hate quadrojet carbs,, if you want that Chey to run right, try to find an old holly 650 spread bore,, hard to find these days but where built to bolt onto any small block and make It run better
@@ChristinaStachura-jn9pl o yeah, the z28 has found it’s permanent home. I’m ordering parts now to fix it up. Should have a video on that in a few weeks. I’m hoping to have a clean up video on the z28 out Monday. But it’s the annual outage where I work so it might be difficult to get a day off.
keep the wheels... those are rear. The dash to window corners will rust out as well... GM Transmission issue... shocker. My Brother has the same year with T-Tops. the OEM Transmission was junk
That driveline needs to come out. That right spot in the engine is corrosion, most likely will start puking smoke. Maybe not but probably. Personally I'd disassemble the entire car a section at a time and just do a mechanical overhaul then drive the crap out of it. Have fun sir.
Yeah that’s the plan eventually, but not for some time unless problems arise. I’m trying to figure out what right spot ya talking about so I can keep an eye on it. Thanks for the comment and watching bud!
Wow! That’s so awesome! It was my dad’s car and I drove it. I sold it to Matt. I can’t wait to see the final masterpiece. Makes my heart happy to hear it run! Loved that car!
That’s awesome I was hoping you were going to watch the video! It fired right up and sounded great. I bet it was an awesome car to drive back when it was new. I have some big plans for it. I’m going to do my best to get it roadworthy soon, and if you want you can drive it one more time! Thanks for watching the video.
I usually buy NGKs, just to have a better plug. If I deem a engine worthy I don't mind buying an expensive plug. I know you can get a plug for 3 dollars, but in my experience you get what you pay for with plugs. Thanks for watching bud.

Heck yeah man hopefully she will want to running like mine, thanks for watching and the support bud!
@@LyonRacing24 yeah mine had a roached starter and cross threaded spark plug on the back passenger side, the one you refused to record 😂 my friends are coming over this weekend to help push it in the garage, then ill be able to take panels off and get to things much easier. I’ll definitely be rolling the camera!
@@DirtSweatGears lol I can see how someone cross threatened it but it’s still crappy they did. Heck yeah man, and I will be on the lookout for the video! If you need some help send me a dm on insta. It’s linked to my RUclips.
Had a Beautiful mint '78 Z-28 back in 1986.
Silver w/ black interior.
Hitting a curb dead on with the brakes locked did her in.
I couldn't believe the car was totaled with not even a scratch on her.
good luck with this one!
Man that’s crazy, I hate to hear that, thank you and thanks for watching!
Good for you man, good find, I've had to replace so many rubber brakes lines on the front of them Chevys, the trucks too from setting, over time they collapse inside and lock the brakes up. Now all you need to go with the mullet, is a set of cragers..lol
Thank you sir and yeah I’m sure these lines are swollen shut. Brakes do feel like they are there just need some work lol some cragers would be mint. Might have to start the search lol
I built a 78 Z/28, pulled the 350 and auto, put in a 454, and super T-10 and a 70 12bolt axle. It was the best car I ever built, drove awesome. Gave it to my son, who sold it a few months after. I'm still trying to get over the trama and sadness 😭
Man that was an awesome car! I would be so mad lol thanks for watching man!
Got so excited you knocked your hair sideways.😆
lol I had too, had to let the mullet flow
Hello, great find. Just letting you know that those wheels are called turbine.( Rare) They were an option on 78 and 79 Z28. I believe you might be able to have ordered those on other Camaro models Rally sport, Type Lt.
Thank you sir, I figured they were somewhat rare as I couldn’t remember seeing them before. Thanks for watching!
Good luck on ur channel
Thank you
Liked this video well done - just subscribed to your channel 👍🏼🇨🇦
Heck yeah thanks bud!
Beautiful car, I’ve got the same exact one sitting in my garage right now. Still gotta put some work into it
Heck yeah that’s awesome man!
Cool car man! This takes me back to the good ole days. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Subscribed!! \m/
Heck yeah thanks man and I have parts on the way! Thanks for the support man!
4 speed car Hell Yeah 👍 had a 75 rally sport i bawt from my cousin..no horse power but she'd smoke the tires quick 😂
Man the I love a 4 speed car! Heck yeah man that’s awesome hopefully I will be doing that soon! Thanks for watching bud
@@LyonRacing24 what the hell ya need more than 4 gears for anyways 😂
@@mariocooldude9092 lol exactly, my only complaint is the mechanical clutch linkage, but they have kits to fix that.
@@LyonRacing24 miss that damn car...I still dream about it 😂 white with black hood and roof, Z28 wheels...got lots of looks
@@mariocooldude9092 heck man I know that was a BadA car. Did it have a 350 or 305?
I had a 1980. I drove that thing from 1997 to 2001. Even in the winter in New England. Miss that car.
Man that are some fine machines, I have a blue 80 that has a 400 in it. I will do a video on it eventually lol
Me and the wife picked up a 68 in the same condition. Were now driving it regularly . It I could I'd send a picture. The 78. 79 Camaro drive so much better .
That’s awesome man, and that’s my plan as soon as I get off work today im going to film a video of cleaning it up. Trying to get closer to roadworthy. Thanks for watching bud!
LMAO on the mullet, kid lived next to my parents had one when i was in high school, he thought it was bad ass car, and it was... until i got my hands on a 73 Road Runner. Bought an old Gran Fury with a 440 under the hood, swapped out the 340 for the 440, his Z28 got a steady diet of dust that summer.
@@WrenchBender heck yeah that’s awesome man! I would love to get my hands on an old mopar. Thanks for watching man!
Love those old Z ! Hard to find in my area ! Good Luck ! 👍😁
They are definitely my favorite Car the 4 speed was the cheery on top! This year model is my favorite because well they are at this point still affordable lol I have some part on the way so keep on the look out for another video! Thanks for watching bud
The pinned comment is my cousin, i always remember going to my grandparent's house and seeing it sit there and thinking how cool it would be to restore it and drive it around. Originally me and my dad were going to fix it up but we figured it would be too much of a project for us. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Yeah there is a good work that needs to be done, but it will just take time. It’s a great car to fix up tho. Thanks for watching the video, and the Sub!
You're uncle Jimmy would be proud of you. Son. Keep it up.
Thanks pops, I wish he was here to see it. I know he is looking down and helping.
Nice save 👍
Thank you sir
Sitting 36 years? That means that this car spent less than 10 years on the road. I bought my 1978 Camaro in 1987 when it was only 9 years old and you wouldn't believe the amount of rust it acquired in that short time. The 4 speed manual transmission cars are very hard to come across. One thing I have noticed about cars built in the 1970's is that the body and interior has no problem self destructing without any help.
Yeah 36 I talked to the original owners and it was parked because of the clutch. Seems fine now but I haven’t put a big load in it. O I can believe the rust the core supports are rust attractors. Thanks for watching bud
The power of the mullet is not to be doubted...ever😅
Heck yeah thanks for watching man
@@LyonRacing24 thumbs up watching you basically give new life to classic cars...keep up the great work 👍🏼
Yes you have spark.
Thank you lol
Being a 4 spd camaro and the fact shes a runner would be enough for me to toss a couple 3 grand into her provided structure is solid enough to work with. Parts are easy to find and cheap . I used to love having cameros my 78 was one of my first cars in high school bought it for 500 bucks back in 87 or 88 and proceeded to burn through 3 more and boy other than being rattle traps they took good punishment and asked for more . Think its time for another late 70s early 80s project and create a monster. Ive been inspired by this channel and enjoyed every minute of it .I subscribed and looking foward to see what you do??😂😂
Yeah man the money is already being spent on this ole girl, just haven’t had time to film a video because I’m working a shutdown. Man 500 for a clean running Camaro would be awesome in today money lol this is my 2nd Camaro of this year range, one day I will make a video on the other one it’s more of a passion project. Reading that I have inspired you and you enjoyed the video is awesome man. Best thing I’ve read today 110%! Thanks for watching and subscribing. More videos coming soon!
Man I am SO jealous. I have been wanting a really nice domestic car exactly like this to daily for a LONG time. You don't find cars like that around Pittsburgh for less than $5-$10,000. I would really love to have a nice 350 Camaro 4 speed manual in good (or at least decent) shape for a decent price. I would get everything that it needs to be running and stopping reliably, clean the entire interior and exterior, and I would seriously drive it daily. I did have a 1974 Z28 back in the day, but it was a full drag car. My brother owns it now in Florida and he has done a full restomod restoration on it.
That’s crazy man that’s my exact plan with this one. Make her a decent daily and just cruise. Thanks for watching man!
1974 I'm pretty sure that it was one of those years that no one wanted. And I won't be the only one that will say Z28 didn't happen in that year.
Hi how you doing I just came across your channel nice channel I love old cars I have been working on cars since like 84 yes I'm old lol I had alot of nice ones back in the day novas Chevelle's mustangs and so liking the channel will be watching more videos hope you and your family have a great day my friend
yeah man yall had all the great cars new back then. It must have been awesome. Thanks for Watching and Subscribing! Well will and you have a good day too buddy.
You just earned yourself a new subscriber! The 1979 camaro is one of my dream cars, my fathers going to hand his 1976 chevelle laguna s3 to me when he cant drive it anymore. Im 16 and i have 2 cars i wrench on alot. One is going to be my daily. They arent old, they are from the early 2000s. But the chevelle will be my project some day. I can tell you can make it as big as Vice grip garage, junkyard digs, pole barn garage, dylan mccool, and mortske repair. Cant wait to see the progress on this car. I was shocked to see you only had 600+ subscribers!
Heck yeah that awesome man thanks for the support! 76 laguna will be a awesome car man. 2 projects at 16 already thats what I'm talking about lol 2000s aren't too old but they are getting there. My 03 BMW feels brand new when I start working it after working on my Camaros or Javelin lol Its my hope that one day the channel will grow that big I guess we will all see together bud. Once again Thanks for watching and the support bud!
@LyonRacing24 Thank you. I taught myself how to work on them just with youtube videos. I work out of a shed with all the tools I've purchased since i started working on them. There's no garage, sadly, and im up north, so sometimes i gotta work in the snow and cold but i feel like working on cars can be a good time to just get away and have time to yourself. I love that your wife and kids like hanging around, i always love having the opportunity to work on his chevelle. It's getting posi-traction this summer and a new cam. It was a late 90s restoration before my grandfather purchased it. Sadly, he passed in 2018 and left the car for my dad. I also saw that somebody mentioned that the rims are rare. They are correct. They are very rare. Also, if you come across one of these camaros with t-tops, that's a rare option also. Good luck with the camaro it seems rusty, but it's such a beautiful car. I can't wait to see the future videos on it.
@@DJsBackup man working out of a shed in the northern winter isn’t fun at all lol yeah it’s a family affair around here. It’s hard to not have all the help you need lol sad to hear about your grandpa but it’s awesome you carrying the torch for him! The Camaro has alot of rust for a southern car but it’s nothing we can’t fix! A new video should be out tomorrow!
You can find you one! I had a 78 F150 I bought for $500, drove it for years. Traded that for a 70 VW Bug that didn't work out, and last November I traded that for a 79 Camaro. Love that car!
@@FordHoard that’s awesome man! The ole Camaro is an awesome car.
No smoke,,, no lifters knocking,, no valves clanking,, yes we have a winner 🏆
Yeah man she fired right up and sounds great!
Why do they always abandon (store…lol) these cars in the worse manner.
lol you could literally build a roof for 100 dollars to put them under. Thanks for watching man
That's a nice goin-to-town-rig you got there!
Thank you, and it’s going to be a good one. Thanks for watching!
I love seeing and hearing an old F body brought back to life but I’m most impressed with you moving that hood off the car with no mechanical or extra human help. That’s the all-American do-it-yourself by any means necessary spirit in action!

Nice job and a great find! I was waiting for a "put that on a cracker dude" type catch phrase😂.
I didn’t know I looked just like him until I was doing my day 2 edits lol
Oh wow reminds me of my Z28. My Dad got it fir me right before my Sr. Year in high school it had T tops was a darker blue with metal flake. Dang thing looked green under a street light. And later put crager ss wheels on. I also started dating a girl from a blind date with my friend. She also had a 79 Z28 but it didn't have t tops. The salesman and my dad grew up knowing each other. His brother was the state Trooper thst gave the driving test. I sure wish I still had it was around the time smokey and the bandit come out. So there was several trams am running around. I smoked all those and blew the big chicken on their hoods off. I did do a little to the engine. Man talk about great times with tgst car I also became a man in it if you catch my meaning lol I subed to your channel keep saving those older cars
Heck yeah man that’s awesome! I can only imagine how BA that was as a Senior crushing around in a Z28! Had to give the thunder chicken the smoke! Thanks for watching buddy and thanks for the support man! We really appreciate it!
0:24 Thinking you might raise the hood before starting. Have a blanket ready. A little backfire can turn into a steady flame.
Thanks for the tip man, and thanks for watching
I was 18 years old and I bought a 1979 Z28 the color was like a IROC blue I had so much fun

I worked at the Chevy dealership body shop in 1979. Those cars had horrible build quality and most had warrentee repair issues for fit and finish including one that crabbed down the road because the rear axle was not in strait

keep the wheels... those are rear. The dash to window corners will rust out as well... GM Transmission issue... shocker. My Brother has the same year with T-Tops. the OEM Transmission was junk

9 yrs used and it looks like it had 36 yrs of cat fights inside. Dirty as heck.😂
Yeah man it was horrible lol
cool car just subbed
Thanks for watching and the support bud!
Nice. Nice good job
Thank you sir
That driveline needs to come out. That right spot in the engine is corrosion, most likely will start puking smoke. Maybe not but probably. Personally I'd disassemble the entire car a section at a time and just do a mechanical overhaul then drive the crap out of it. Have fun sir.
Yeah that’s the plan eventually, but not for some time unless problems arise. I’m trying to figure out what right spot ya talking about so I can keep an eye on it. Thanks for the comment and watching bud!
Wow! That’s so awesome! It was my dad’s car and I drove it. I sold it to Matt. I can’t wait to see the final masterpiece. Makes my heart happy to hear it run! Loved that car!
That’s awesome I was hoping you were going to watch the video! It fired right up and sounded great. I bet it was an awesome car to drive back when it was new. I have some big plans for it.

@@LyonRacing24 Is that a 305 V8 car ?? Or is it a 350 ???
@@gregorylyon1004 it’s that ole 350!
Not sure where you buy your plugs for $80 but you need to change stores. Amazon sells them for $26 for 8.
I usually buy NGKs, just to have a better plug. If I deem a engine worthy I don't mind buying an expensive plug. I know you can get a plug for 3 dollars, but in my experience you get what you pay for with plugs. Thanks for watching bud.
