Such a cool car! When I was 10 years old in 1969 my Dad went to the Chevy dealer to buy a new Caprice 4dr. Inside the showroom they had a 1969 RS Z28 in this yellow with the black stripes. I was so excited to see such a car and tried to talk my Dad into buying it but he had four kids and a wife so he bought the Caprice! During my life I have owned 7 69 Camaros one of them was a Lemans Blue 69 RS Z28 and another was a 69 RS SS convertible. I almost painted the Lemans Blue Z yellow so it could be my dream car but since it was originally Lemans Blue I stuck with that! So needless to say a Yellow RS Z like this one is on my bucket list! Thanks for posting such a cool video!
Really nice looking 69 Z28 302 sounds really good, brings back a lot of memories. I had a 69 GTO 400 small block. Had a few runs with a 69-Z28 DZ302, my buddy owned one. Beautiful car, nice to see.
There’s nothing better than a RS option on the 69 Z/28. Back in ‘74 I owned a 68 Z/28 while in College and a friend of mine is the current owner. My current Z28 is a 70 4-spd which I purchased from the original owner back in ‘81. I spoke with the orig owner 3 summers ago while I was on a poker run and he wants to buy the car back, but its not for sale and he doesn’t want any other 70 Z28.
Now thats an honest car..that original owner truly loved it and knew then it was a keeper. May have been a pain moving it to other countries but weird driving it every day everwhere? No different than any late model car...gas it up and go. Dailied these 80s through the 90s/early 2000s To let the sit is rediculous, just take a picture and save the $ .
Brings back memories for me My childhood friend had a neighbor who had a 69 Lemans blue with black top "flat hood "non spoiler Z /28 . This was around 1973 when they were cheap used cars that people were trying to get out of because of the "energy crisis ".
The overspray on the firewall is actually a factory correct paint feature. The cars that left the factory never had a perfect paint line at the top of the firewall.
Never understood why people think the glorified 283 /,302 was so great a L36 /327 or even a 350 HP 327 would out the hurt on the over bored 283 lol ,the 68 Z/28 is a victim of sircumstance the SCCA rules were 305 cibich inches max all Chevy had to do was build a piston lol
Beautiful ‘69 Z/28. So nice to see that it been left as original as possible. This car is in great hand of its present care taker. One very lucky man 👌😊
From the photos this car never had the D80 spoiler option, I appreciate that nobody added them to the car later in it's life and kept it as it came from the factory 👍 .
I had a 69 Z/28, a 71, a 78, and a 79. They all had spoilers. I have never heard of any Z/28 from any year that did not have a spoiler. This one also has the RS option, but NO SPOILER. It does not look right at all.
wow? But your roll at a embassy is to represent america. No better way than that car. The sleeping giant. My thought is were did he get the octane to feed it?
@@paulsaunders1420 Any car that was faster/quicker and there were several. One being a "69 Boss 302 Mustang and I bought one new that I still own. Beating a '69 Camaro Z/28 was not difficult at all. I did it many times.
All show and no go.'69-'70 Boss 302 Mustangs ate the '67-'69 Z/28 Camaros for snacks. I bought a new '69 Boss 302 Mustang from TASCA Ford in RI and I still have it. Beating any '67-'69 Camaro Z/28 was never a problem and still isn't.
LOL idk dude. A lot of the road tests from 69'-70' have that boss eat Z/28 dust I'm just saying. There was even a test that was done on a road course along with the Trans Am, Javalin and Boss. Boss came in third. The Z took the 1/4 mile race. The 71' Boss imo was the better competitor
@@manher4335 1970 Trans Am series, Ford Boss 302 won the Championship. BTW, '71 Mustang Boss had a 351 engine. I never raced mine in a road course race. I raced it in the NHRA Pure-Stock class. "67-'69 Z/28's were never a problem to beat.
@@sergeantmasson3669 I know. Ford got it on 67' too I believe. What's the gearing in that Mustang of yours? I think If the Stang had an upgraded rear end against the Z's stock 3:73 its likely to happen. The 3:90 complimented the 71' Boss nicely acceleration-wize, not sure about all around performance (mileage etc)
@@manher4335 My '69 Boss 302 came with 3:91 Traction-Lok rear gears. It now has 3:70 Detroit Locker rear gears. While I was drag racing it, it had 4:31 Traction-Lok rear gears. Best run was 12.91. Most of the time, it turned 13.1's

my dad has a 1969 z/28 camaro thats original too and a 1969 ss camaro convertible!
Awesome
My dad just has a 69 charger, nothing like a 69 Camaro

Yeah, kinda funny that Chevy did it that way
Nice car!!
Why no back spoiler ? I thought that all 69 z/28 came with one .
Just asking , not judging
It was an option to not have a rear spoiler
@@ZHPGarage I'm glad you told that clown off

They served the purpose they were designed for . L79 wont take the revs or hold up at higher rpm
Back in 69 this 302 had the highest lift cam and duration which gave it the nicest sound on any mouse motor on any other car
Imagine a neighbor pulling up in his brand new Z/28 with a sound like that
Todays cars have lots of power but sorry the audio appeal is zero.
Beautiful ‘69 Z/28. So nice to see that it been left as original as possible. This car is in great hand of its present care taker. One very lucky man 👌😊
I’ve never seen a 69 z28 without a cowl hood, I used to drive a z28/rs in 1973. It has rear bumper guards?
Yeah it was an option to have a flat hood. It appears to have rear bumper guards.
I’ll take the split window vette😊
Beautiful car and I don’t wanna sound like an ass, but you got to get AC Delco radiator cap
Who cares? The car isn't 100% original anyway.
M21 Muncie was standard,M22 “Rock Crusher “was optional
Hood scoop displaying 302 was another option….cheers

Obviously, it was a spoilers delete optioned car. Dumb idea !
@Jeff Spicolli Cowl induction hood was an option but not ordered for this car.

@@MrLmm001 No rear spoiler was an option.
@@MrLmm001 spoilers were factory option D80 on all Camaros, if you didn't order this option you didn't get the spoilers !

Absolutely beatiful! I love the sound of the gears on the road. Thanks for sharing this!

Cool z28 with awesome story!
no cowl hood and no rear spoiler and i don't think the rally sport emblem on the finders are correct ? im skeptical about this car .
rally sport emblems are correct. Cowl hood and spoilers were not standard.
Had a 69 Camaro 327 four speed. Some rust but restorable. Sold it in’83 for $2600. Wish I could get that one back.
Thanks for your help
Nice Car love the flat hood
It’s nice… it would have be good if he would have ordered it with cowl hood and spoiler package…thanks buddy…
Is that an early model run no cowl hood or rear spoiler maybe built in late 68 early 69
I think he says it was made in late 68 at some part of the video
I thought the Z28 had exposed headlights.
A standard z but an RS /Z28 would have the somewhat hidden head lights lol ,not like the 67/68 RS Z/28
I wonder if he would be interested in a 67 rs z28 that is almost as Chevy built it.
He probably would be
@@ZHPGarage my mom's neighbor has it. It has 70 something thousand miles. Does not even have headers on it
rebuild the carb. sounds like float sticking or just to high
cool!
Were the hideaway headlights standard or option on a 69 Z28?
It was an option, the RS package is what had the hideaway headlights.
Only avsilable on the Z/28 rally sports
@@ronconrad2615 Plenty of non Z rs cars made in 69
I’ll take it.
So which car would win in a quarter-mile a Z 28 or a Camaro SS with a 396 /375 HP. ?
It would depend on the tune, tires, and the drivers
You found it,I didn't. Awesome 👌
No spoiler I'm so disappointed
Really needs a spoiler
Everyone adds them, nice to see one they way it really came
No cowl induction hood more I'm even more disappointed
Disappointed he ordered his car without?
Very nice indeed 👍🏻
Need Cowinduction Hood .And the Spollers on The Trunk And Front
Please no. ZL2 hood wasn't even available until very late December so not having one on this car is correct. Nice to see them this way.
These cars do look good with the spoilers and a cowl hood, but on this particular one it would bring the value down on it.
@@ZHPGarage This car isn't 100% original anyway.
That is one beautiful Camaro
It definitely is
