Hey guys welcome to today's video. in today's video I traveled to Saskatchewan to pick up a 1983 Chevrolet Z28 Camaro. bring it to town, give it its first wash after it's been sitting for a while. bring it back to the shop and try and get this 305 in the Camaro to run and drive. will it run??? I don't know too much about this forgotten Camaro When I purchase it off the owner I mostly dealt with his grandmother at the time. she said he had it for a while and then basically lost interest in it and it's been sitting ever since. let's get another third gen Camaro back on the road. I will be doing a full paint series on this car leave in the comment section guys what color do you think we should paint this I definitely would like to hear your opinions on the paint.
Edit with InShot:inshotapp.page...
As a red 1983 Z28 owner, i may be biased, but i really think you should keep it the factory red with its silver ground effects like it is. Also, from the factory, this car wouldve had orange stripes just above the ground effects all the way around the car. Dont forget the stripes, they really make these red cars pop!
Lota of people are loving the orginal Red color on this Camaro it looks great with the silver Z28 ground effects kit. I juat Google that stripe I'll definitely be adding it of I go with this colors 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I agree 2ith u about the Rootbeer color...Its already been repainted anyways...Do u know if it was origionally red? Most red ones I have seen have had the black or grey interior...That buckskin doesnt match red very well....
The early third gens (82-84) are definitely my favorite. Mainly because that's what I had in high school but I also just like the front end, hood, and tail lights better.
Yeah I'm definitely a fan of these ones especially since the motors were all carbureted. Definitely make some a lot easier to work with having the less electronics in them. Same here I always like that front end of the earlier 3rd gens too. What year and color was your Camaro in high school?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated🙏
I had a 82 Z28 silver with gray ground effects. Bought it in 87 thanks to a little help from my parents. I was in love 😍@@fullyloadedkustoms
Yes I graduated in 84🇨🇱Abd several of my pals had these gen 3 ,and Square bodies ,C-3s,Gen 2- Z28s,my close friend had one of the 1st sold at our local dealership,Dark Brown/tan interior/gold package trim V-6,nothing like new car smell😄
Great video and awesome pick up! 🔥🔥🔥
Hey thanks I appreciate that this was definitely a great find. And it's a really good car and really great shape too. I'm definitely looking forward to getting started on this project when I get the chance.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Arizona here! It’s 65-70 degrees every day right now. But, we pay for it in the summertime. My first car was a red 85 Camaro, so great to see this one get a new life again!
Oh nice that sounds like great weather compared to out here lol. But I've seen some of the temperatures there in the summertime it definitely gets hot. Have to plan to take a trip down to Arizona sometime for a cruise I've never been to that area before it would make for a great road trip. Oh nice that's awesome my first car wasn't 83 Camaro lock to my friends in high school either had a 3rd gen Firebird or a 3rd gen Camaro. Awesome cars to have. I can't wait to tear into this one and get it torn down and ready for paint
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Keep it red.
Walk away - because it's red.
Keep it red…and add one of those stupid black vinyl bras to needlessly complicated and cluttered. My 83 was in much better shape, had 15” Punch woofers where the back seat is supposed to be. And I had the most ingenious custom multi-faceted auto anti-theft system…. A kill switch wired up so you had to push the cigarette lighter in to get it to start. Lol!
Great comment...Not...Always someone with the ole mine was better than yours story...So childish there...Just be happy for theman...
My first car was an 84 trans-am painted brown with a small flake in it (GM OEM paint). It was a nice car. so yea go with the rootbeer. It will look awesome.
Oh nice my buddy Rich back home in Ontario. Has a metallic Brown 84 Trans Am looks really good his is the only one I've ever seen in that color before. That's definitely what got me thinking that the root beer candy would look really good on it too.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Pretty good purchase you have there ! Glad you got that f body running ✌. I always wanted a silver and black 85 Iroc z28 my uncle used to have.. Those cars good acoustic for a sound system. By the way that vacuum brush hack you have worked like a charm when I was cleaning out my GMT400 suv the other day ✌
Thanks same here it was definitely a great find. Really glad I turned around and left a note on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh yeah for Acoustics for sound systems they sound great. My 83 Camaro had the box that Six Flag with the rear hatch and when you get the base bouncing off the glass it sounds really good. Awesome the brush hack for the vacuum works so much better than the Plastics
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. Hopefully you get a chance to pick up a silver and black 85 IROC camaro 👍🏻
I think the red on silver looks great.
I've definitely been getting lots of comments. There's a lot of people out there that like the original red with the silver ground effects kit on it👍🏻 just might have to paint this car back to that original red
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I always loved those in the electric blue.. and the tan interior would look great with the blue.
100% the Factory blue colors that I've seen on these Camaros look fantastic, and they go really nicely with the body style.
Thanks again for watching leaving your paint suggestion much appreciated👍🏻
Burnt orange with black I had a 95 transam that color I miss that car it had a Chevy 350 badass in my book good luck
I think I've seen that orange color you're talking about that would have been on those 90s Trans Ams that's a really nice color. Definitely would have stood out for sure. Hope you get a chance to pick another one up there

It always amazes me how someone has money for things like LED light strips and aftermarket stereos and subs but not for essentials like a power steering pump repair.
Yeah exactly this car was decked out with tons of LED lights big sound system and stereo and speakers. And then more than likely it was parked because of the squealing they were hearing under the hood which turned out just to be a belt that needed to be tightened up. I'm pretty sure they thought it was a bad power steering pump that's why they jammed it full of fluid.

Can't have too many 3 gens 🤣🤣🤣
It's true hahah definitely can't have too many of those third gen's lol great cars
Thanks again for leaving your comments👍🏻
Yeee 😃
I have a 1982 red Z28 Camaro that’s near mint condition that looks almost identical to this one but mine has a built motor that’s been cammed with headers and flow master 10’s mufflers behind the rear axle it’s loud and fast and I love it it’s a beast
Ohh nice that's awesome immprety sure that I'm going to paint this Car back to the orginal Color combination Red and Silver. I would also need to get the Z28 stripping kit that's above the Z28 kit too. Definitely sounds like your camaro makes for a fun time to drive with those upgrades
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
3rd gens have a soft spot in my heart this one will be fun to watch
Same here I definitely like my 3rd gens my 83 Camaro was pretty much the first car to get me into classic cars and Custom paintwork. Really looking forward to being able to do this one and the firebird over the winter should be great.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms no thanks needed my friend you have a solid channel I enjoy the content very much
Yeah Orange and black like what is on the hood black will be uniquely one of one in Canada.
I've had a few comments suggesting to paint that Camaro black/ orange or a copper color
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
I got the same year model, just a crossfire injection!! I love this video!!!!
Oh really that's awesome! I'm pretty sure I'll be painting this car back to the silver and red combination. Just have to add the lower striping decals to it as well
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
That thing started right up, huh maybe my starter is a bit tired haha.. mine cranks a few times before starting.
Yeah that Camaro fired right up. The starter on the 1991 Firebird having the same issues it although it clicks clicks clicks then catches and fires the car up right after
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Awesome video/ Camaro, Yeee 😃
Definitely excited to start work on this Camaro when I get the chance it's going to make for a great project
I agree
Insurance payed for entire paint,couldn’t risk not matching paint,agent was a in racing & wrenching part time 😁,you did a great job
Yeah definitely looks to have been sprayed probably within the last 10 to 15 years I would have to guess nothing's really flaking off it yet. It's good possibility that's maybe what has happened. I'm definitely going to find out once I start sanding on and see how many different colors it might be.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Maybe we can get a update video on all your 3 rd gens😃
Yeah I was thinking about doing that just before I posted on the truck series. That way I can kind of use that video as a poll to find out which car to paint after I'm finished up with the truck series either the 91 Firebird or that 83 Camaro. Thinking when I get back from the city I'm going to work on doing a quick video on the three of them. Before I post the first video on the truck series.
I did and me and my dad built mine together. Looking to find mine or one like it. Mine was identical to the one in this video
Oh, really, that's cool. I had someone else comment that they had an almost identical car to this one. It would be awesome to get your original car back
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Death Mat Black with black out everything!! Hm......Okay I just saw your pics for colors and You're right. DO THAT!! Root beer Mmmmm. Sooo as a fellow Albertan (Calgary grew up in Grande Prairie) I notice you've been missing out on the wonders of the Princess Auto stores!! Oh man I'm sure you must shop there once in a while as you're who you are but it's THE shop to beat all shops IMHO LOL! Love the channel!
Hey thanks thats much appreciated 👍🏻Oh yeah I try and get up to Princess Auto as often as I can when I'm down in the city either Calgary or Edmonton or lloydminster. Princess Auto is to go to shop. I'd be there every day if it wasn't 3 hours from me lol. I know when I lived in Calgary that's where I was pretty much all the time.

It's too bad you couldn't have collaborated with the detail geek. He is in Saskatchewan, I would have loved to have seen what he could have done with this Camaro
I've actually heard that name mentioned a few times there now Saskatoon is only about a 5-hour drive from where I'm located. It definitely would be fun to be able to do some collaborations with some other RUclipsrs. Would make for a great time.

From the US, just say Zed lol always make these videos better seeing canadans or austrailians, Japanese or whatever the person may be, enjoy the cars we have standard since its usually the other way around lol
Haha perfect that's what I've always called it lol only because the letter by its self is Zed. But I have no idea why in Canada its pronounced Zed and its Zee in the US. Like how ridiculous would Zedbra sound lmao.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
both looks good but second one is beautiful
Yeah I love that Root Beer Kandy it's such a nice color. I would love to paint a square body chevy with a two tone root beer kandy and a cream white in the center. Definitely painting something Root Beer Kandy
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
@@fullyloadedkustoms pleasure thanks to you for sharing your passion for car with us
@aarsir1961 for sure no problem 👍🏻 I'm definitely looking forward to getting the paint series on this Camaro started
Burgundy would look great 👍
That's what I was thinking too is a burgundy would have a really nice look to it there's some really nice burgundy metallics out there that would look really good on it 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion its much appreciated👍🏻
Noice👌keep the red or if it was due a complete colour change a nice yellow
Yeah I'm liking the red color on it the red looks pretty nice. There's a few red colors that I was looking at for it already. A yellow color will be definitely different don't see too many of those around Ferrari has a amazing metallic yellow PPG color. I also do like that old school pale kind of yellow too that you would see in a lot of mid 60s cars.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
My first Camaro was an 86 z28 back in 2003 i bought it for less than 1000 usd
Nice that's a really good find for that price. What color was your 86 camaro?
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Finland! so,its like Alberta 😊
Ahh nice that's cool to know my videos are being watched over in Findland
Nice car , I had a 84 that I converted to stick the 700r4 trans kept going bad , if that was my car I would put a t5 trans in it with a vortec 350 engine .
Hey thanks nice what color was your 84 camaro? Yeah 350 vortec in a manual transmission in this would be great. I've been reading online that those 700R4 seem to be giving enough people issues. It would definitely be great to be able to do a full manual swap. Would really make it a fun car to cruise around

@@fullyloadedkustoms mines was charcoal metallic
@michaelgraham2347 oh nice that's sweet when I had my 83 Camaro back in high school. My buddy Charlie had a 1985 charcoal gray metallic z28 camaro that's a nice color on those 3rd gens 👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms I bought mines for $400 with windows busted out was sitting in a outdoor storage place with grass growing in the trunk, had it completely restored only needed a paint job then the cops showed up at my house and took it one day because I was riding like an outlaw back then and had a neighbor who didn't like me she was a karen ,every now and then I would dream that I have the car either driving it or it's parked somewhere but when I woke up reality hits. I have a 92 mustang gt now that I sold 9yrs ago and the guy died and I bought it back but nothing like a 3rd gen camaro.
Looking good👍
Thanks haha really glad I decided to stop and ask if this car was for sale. Definitely looks great to see it I'm my yard now lol

Should check the oil pan for damege before adding oil.
I think the oil must have been leaking out of the valve cover gaskets. I haven't seen and oil leaks in the shop since I filled it up
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
I love the third gen’s. Paint it the Root Beer color!
I'm definitely liking the root beer candy color it's different and it would really stand out on the car. It's such a nice looking color in the sunlight and it really brings out all the body lines on the vehicle
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's much appreciated👍🏻
Absolutely keep it factory red.
A lot of people are definitely loving that original red color 👍🏻
Thanks for watching and leaving your paint suggestions much appreciated
Great car just subscribed love the show 👍👍
Hey, thanks for subscribing, and welcome to the channel. Can't wait to get started on the body work and paint series for this Camaro
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
You lucked out!!
100% this Camaro was a great find to come across. I'm really glad I decided to knock on the door and ask about it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Upgrade the stock heads and intake to ‘96-03 Vortec for a 50 horsepower increase. If you can find it, also update the gauge cluster speedometer. It’s a nice appearance upgrade. The double pointer will become a single and have a 145 mph speedometer with the Z28 logo stamped on the background.
aw man, i always dug the cheesy "cheap compass toy" speedos of this year. 305 Vortec heads would be a good idea if you can find ones not cracked between the valves. i can't remember if they have the same issue with the intake manifold bolts--an early set of ported heads is almost worthwhile just so you can get a $50 aftermarket intake to slap on.
Funny how it was common to do a stroker on a Mustang but few tried stroking the 305 to 334 cid. took less time to swap a Vortec 350 since the 305 would already be out.
Yesh I would definitely like to do some upgrades on this Camaro. It deserves it for sure. Yeah that Z28 upgraded garage would be nice. I didn't realize they had rhe double pointer in the z28s I figured that was only a Beretta or Sports coupe Camaro gauge package
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I'm definitely looking at doing some upgrades for the Camaro it definitely deserves it for sure. I think the 305 in these years only had like 175HP out of the factory
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Don’t change the color just repaint like it is.🙏
A ton of people are definitely liking that original red color on the Camaro. I just might have to go back to this original color on it 👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestions it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Seeing this car made me very sad. I was a Finance Manager at a car dealership in California during the "Cash 4 Clunkers" Program. I was off for a couple of days, and when I got back in, I saw that we had already salted the motor of a 1984 Z-28. It had 4,000 miles on the odometer. I almost cried. The program gave that owner $4500 for the Z28. It was only worth about $4000 at the time (and it was Dk Brown on Tan). I did manage to buy out a $90,000 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 for $4500! It also made me sad that I saw several other Defenders (90s and 110s) that had been destroyed. People just didn't know what they were.
Oh wow 1984 Z28 with only 4500 miles on the car that's wild that would be such an amazing find now a days to come across that for sure. That's just it people didn't know what they had or the value of what it could be. I'm 39 and in high school (1999) I remember stopping to check out a 69 dodge charger with a 440 for sale parked on front lawn off the highways in north bay ont for sale $5000 and now people sell those shells for like 15k it's crazy haha this why we need time machines haha go back and save these cars
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
That car deserves a nice LS upgrade. Definitely my favorite body style of Camaro. I agree with the deep red color or a Dark fire engine candy apple red.
Yeah It definitely would be nice to put a LS swap in there for sure. Give the Camaro something a little bit more powerful than a 305. I would love to paint it house of kolor candy Brandywine I think we make a really nice color on that car as well. House of kolor also makes a really nice candy apple red
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms Yeah, i believe the LS would give the Camaro the power the designers of the time really wanted to give it. We both know how the governments ruined all of that.
The 305’s can be built to make decent power but by the time you spend that kind of money you could’ve spent a bit less or about the same and picked up a nice used LS3 or even LS7 either online or at your local wrecking/junk yard and still get more power in their stock form.
A candy Brandywine would look really good as well. Adding the candy and sometimes pearl makes all the difference in the color and appearance and Brandywine is one of those colors that they make look really good.
@@fullyloadedkustoms Thanks for the videos. I’ve just recently ran into your channel and started watching. Keep up the good work and cool worthwhile restorations. I’ve gotten rather tired of watching every other car channel doing super/hyper cars all the time now so it’s nice seeing you working on something more down to earth. I use to restore cars, trucks, jeeps and even airplanes with my grandfather all the time. It’s something that I really miss doing.
Thanks again from one of your cousins in the U.S. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
The best ever God bless you
Thanks I greatly appreciate that, God bless you as well enjoy this Sunday
Greatlooking nose on that model !
Yeah I always like that Early 3rd gen style especially with that style lower valance on it
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Do the root beer. It would look amazing
The root beer color would definitely look amazing on this car I recently found another root beer color that's a little bit lighter than the House of Color one. Would definitely look great with that Tan interior
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
35 degrees in Brisbane Australia 30/11/23
Definitely sounds nice and warm over thwre in Australia compared to here in Alberta Canada haha. although I've very thankful we haven't been hit with out 2 feet of snow and -30 cold yet haha
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciated👍🏻
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciated👍🏻
Rip the clutch fan off and go electric. It will give you like 40 hp for real. I've done it and was amazed by the power difference
My buddy did that in his 89 Pontiac Formula Firebird definitely made a huge difference for sure just like you were saying. I'll have to do that here for the Camaro as well
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Leave it red leave it original yeah leave it original you get more for original Z28 and you do if you do it a lot of stuff to it just the color itself for more. It’s in good shape then if you do a lot codes all right you get more money Tops is beautiful.
The original color seems to be definitely the leader on this one for color choice, it wouldn't take much to get this camaro stripped down and painted I can't wait to start working on it again.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Definitely belonged to some kid Led lights all over it. And the subwoofer lol
Yeah that's what I'm thinking I dealt with the guys grandmother majority of the time he was off in work Camp in the oilfeild. so I'm assuming it was definitely a younger guy who had the vehicle judging by the sound system and the LED lights like you had said lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments greatly appreciate it🙏
Crappy tire eh. What a treat for the Americans watching.
Haha that's about the only parts place I have access to. Everything else closed on the weekends and early the joys of rural small town living lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 👍🏻
Crappy tire isn't terrible I regularly go to parts source so same company basically
@user-wj9xq7ig2v ahhh nice yeah I think the nearest parts source to me is about 320km away something like that. Got napa here but they usually seem to be about 15- 25% more then Canadian tire priming
Iroc,z z28, series camaro ever!
I'm definitely looking forward to painting this Camaro should be a pretty easy enough project to knock out.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint series suggestion much appreciated 👍🏻
ah jeez, it finally happened. a 'will it run' video of my first car down to the stripes. #officiallyold
Awesome that's sweet so you're very first car was an 83 Camaro identical to this, that's really cool to see.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Was that an a/c delete car? Noticed the block out vents. Really cool
Good eyes. Doubt A/C is necessary in Canada, but the heater better work!😜
Yeah I'm pretty sure the AC had been deleted. Which makes sense we usually only get about a few really hot days in summer majority of the days if you take the tops off and cruise you're going to be just fine. Especially since I'm far away from any kind of major traffic area in a larger City it's not like the car would be stuck in traffic lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
Yeah exactly I'm about 3 hours from a major city so it's not like I'll be getting stuck in traffic anytime soon in the summer haha. All you need around here is take the t-tops off and windows down and cruise.....during the day and the heat at night lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I'm sorry Canadians kill me with that it's funny....zed 28
Hhaa all good haha I got a bunch of comments in my video where I posted the world's largest Firebird Camaro and Trans Am collection lol. Had lots of comments at the Zed 28 haha so I thought I would throw that clip in this video lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I can't afford it butt it's worth about $ 4400.00 u.s. I can get here for it here in California's high dessert ! Too bad I'm in a wheelchair from a drunk driver in 2016 but still alive thank God.
Oh woe really, I managed to pick this Camaro up for $1500 Canadian, which works out to $1100 USD. I've seen prices for classics being a bit higher in California. Lots of guys take their impalals down there to sell from up here in Canada. Sorry to hear about that accident. I hope you get blessed in a huge way 🙏
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
How much did you get this one for?
I gotta say. You didnt have to do anything to this thing! Im going to buy one tomorrow for 500 bucks. Its a Trans Am and its a stick. Also, you probably painted it already. BUt i love the burgundy. I had an 83 in that color. But keep it red.
For this one I paid $1500 Canadian for it. Yesh they said it's got something wrong with the motor and it hasn't ran for a while and was towed into that spot with the tractor. And from what I could tell it was because of that loose Belt making all the noise haha I guess they thought there was something wrong with it. $500 for a stick shift Trans Am that's such a great deal. I haven't painted this one yet but so far the most requested paint Color scheme is Red and Silver.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Keep it red
Yeah the red color I'm definitely liking on the 83. There's a few shades of red that I have really been looking at for this car that I think would match the interior really good.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
That car sure was too easy to get going again i can tell you that. For me, I'm all about stock concours quality restoration. I'd paint that car the exact color it came out of the factory
Yeah, the Camaro definitely didn't take to much to get it up and running again. I'm definitely going to have a challenge with my buddy's 67 Cornet at his farm when I go to do that one it's been sitting easy 20+ years. There has been lots of comments to paint this Camaro back to the original red color. It definitely looks good on it with those silver ground effects on it.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your paint suggestion it's much appreciated 👍🏻
Paint it up like your old one... :)
I 100% will do a build on my channel where I make a replica of my high school Camaro. I recently just found the fiberglass hood Scoops online a few days ago. And it really got me thinking now that I do custom paint and everything else like that. I really have to make a replica of my high school car. And I also recently just came across the very first car I ever painted which was a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am then I'm going to make a deal on to get that back. And it'd be super awesome to have in my garage the very first car I ever painted and then a replica of my very first car I ever had.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
That was a cool hoodscoop... Can't wait to see your Projects!
@sirphilo yeah I had a really cool looking hood on it. It was definitely one of a kind. So looking forward to the day that I can build a replica of that car
Bitchin' Camaro!! 🔥🔥
Thank you it's a sweet ride definitely golf I decided to knock on the door and see if it was for sale. Best decision I made in September 👍🏻 haaha
@@fullyloadedkustoms sweet! I have a 1987 Z28 with a custom edelbrock carburetor and Flowmaster dual exhaust. It's fun, very good shape. Maybe 170 hp, it's a good cruiser. 😎
I used to have a 1990 Chevy Z 24… In the early 90s I was watching a car and driver type show out of Canada, I think it was called the driver seat. They kept on calling the car Zed 24. I laughed so hard, but I end up naming my car the Zed. Then of course pulp fiction came out and at the very end Zed was dead😂😂
Zed 24 that's hilarious to be running a national TV show about vehicles and still thinking that a Camaro was a Zed24 that's hilarious lol

@@fullyloadedkustoms good they don't need to be in the junk yard. Wish I could do what your doing.
Keep it original!
Lots of people are definitely liking the original color combination on this car. It would definitely keep it pretty low on the cost side to repaint it the red/silver color combination too
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Keep it the original red.
So far this is definitely been the most popular color choice that people have been leaving in the comments would be really easy to get it back to this color combination all redone

She's definitely in good condition considering. Paint held up. That red does look good on her
Yeah exactly it's in really good shape I have no idea what would have pulled the door out like that though it's kind of odd. Something must have got hooked on the side mirror. Other than not in that dent in the fender and the crack on the ground effects on the passenger side it's in really excellent shape
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
This car looks awesome, and especially the interior after you detailed it, those seats look great. I know how exciting it can be finding one of these cars in good shape, just like when I bought my 1991 Trans Am. I'm excited for you and I hope to see more videos of this car in the future.
Hey thanks yeah I definitely felt way better after that car was detailed. The seats are in fantastic shaping this thing the only thing I really need to replace would be about the carpet. And just reupholster or reglue the T-top headliner. Oh nice that's awesome what color is your 1991 Pontiac Trans am? I will be doing a full video series on this Camaro on the teardown and repaint of it. As soon as I'm done the 1980 Scottsdale pickup truck series. I will either be painting this one or the 1991 Pontiac Firebird
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
@@fullyloadedkustoms That's awesome, I look forward to seeing more. My 91 Trans Am is maroon with a grey cloth interior, it is a GTA model so it has the gold badges and wheels. I would have really loved to have found a Trans Am in metallic blue like your 91 Firebird, which also is a nice car with a super nice interior. I haven't started my Trans Am in a few months so I plan on doing a cold start video of the car this week.

Exactly 💯 I'm glad I was able to get it up and running again, definitely looking forward to getting this Camaro stripped down and ready for paint
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Excellent video as always, can't wait to see this f-body being restored to former glory.
Don't worry about the zed thing, here in EU we initially learn British English so it's also "zed" for me 😄 - and in my native language German it's "zett", which is close to "zed" as well :). It's winter time here as well now, close to 0°C, it's gonna snow soon...I used to like winter, but the older you get the less you like it 😄. I never liked hot weather either, so I enjoy spring and fall the most when it's around 15-20 °C.
Thanks I really appreciate that. Lol when I posted the video of the world's largest Trans Am Camaro and Firebird collection at David T's I had a lot of people in the comments saying hey it's not a Zed 28 camaro it's a Zee 28 haha so I thought I would throw that clip in there lol. Yeah I know exactly what you mean used to like winter as a kid now that I'm in my 30s I really don't have much use for it haha. I would definitely prefer a longer car show season and golf season now haha. Yeah we're going to get hit with snow and cold weather here right away too. And then it's going to probably last until about May LOL had to stock up on my winter projects with the 3rd gens I picked up lol

I am thrilled to have discovered your show and the impactful mission you're undertaking. Reviving these cars and putting them back on the road, restored to their prime, represents the epitome of upcycling. We've embarked on a similar journey, having rescued a Jeep YJ from a scrapyard, meticulously restoring it, and then taking it a step further by electrifying it entirely! We've retained the original look and functionalities of this iconic vehicle, enhancing its power beyond its original capabilities.
The message you convey is exceptionally vital, especially in today's economic and environmental landscape. Salvaging these classic cars serves as a brilliant solution. Kudos to you! I have a deep affection for the z28 Camaro, and it's likely next on my list for restoration and electrification. Here's a brief video showcasing the inspiring story of our electrified Jeep. ruclips.net/video/rHe_osRXWZ0/видео.html
That's awesome hey welcome to the channel. I definitely can't wait to get to the body work and paint portion of these vehicles that's where you can see the biggest transformation come to life. That's awesome I will definitely go and take a look at your RUclips channel there as well I just subscribed there this morning. Once I get a chance and I'm finished up work here today I'll sit down and I can watch that video👍🏻

Always wanted a red 82-84 red z28 but black would look good 👍
I would love to build a replica of the first car I had back in high school which was in 83 sports coupe that I showed at the beginning of the video. I'm definitely saving the black paint for that one. This one I think would definitely look great in a red color for sure tons of really nice shades out there for red. I'm thinking it would go really nice with the tan interior
Thanks again for watching👍🏻
I really like your 83 the 83 z would be beautiful.but one idea is I like the 91 92 ground effects I always wanted to put the on a 82 - 84 Camaro
@roycervantes1341 I want 100% will be building a replica of my high school camaro on the channel. I recently just found the fiberglass hood scoops for it online. And after I found those I really got to thinking I have to make a replica of my high school car. Same here I really like that 90 to 91 RS ground effects kit with the Scoops I think it looks really good
I turned 16 in 1988 and my first car was a 1985 IROC-Z with the LB9 TPI 305. I haven’t driven a third gen since I sold that car around 1993. I have so many fond memories associated with that car. Im completely out of garage space ( I’m even storing one car at my father’s house) and I am in no way wanting to sell any of my cars…. But I am jonesing for a 3rd gen Camaro. It may be time to buy a lift and start stacking cars 🤔
Thanks for the video and the trip down memory lane. Peace, love, mullets and hair metal. 🤟
That's awesome can't beat having an Iroc Z as a first car that's awesome!! What color was it? Getting a lift is a good idea provides room for more cars. I agree the decision let's you get a 3rd Gen camaro I recommend it lol
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms…it was silver with red decals. The car was totaled soon after I sold it. It was a first year IROC, in the rarest color, with the top performing engine option and a rare non T-top car from year with lowest IROC production. Shame it got recycled into soup cans.
@abolishwelfare oh really that's to bad the new owner totaled it that sucks, yeah that's definitely ashamed that was end of it especially with it being the first year of the Irocs as well
Love it 😍= KEEP IT RED
Yeah I'm definitely liking the red color on these looking really good. I've looked at a few shades of red for it. Definitely going to keep the tan interior because it's an excellent shape.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I had a 83 z28, something about those earlier years on these 3rd gens the seats seem to hold up very well over time, super comfortable. Nice job man!
Thanks, yeah, this one was in really good shape. I think the only thing I would do is replace the lower seat foam. That's all the seats need. Really comfortable seats in this car though
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated. What color was your 1983 Z28?
Hey, a red 1987 Chevy Camaro IROC-Z28 305 5.0Liter V8 TPI With race homo-legation undercarriage and 5 speed manual Borg-Warner drivetrain with 4 diskbrakes owner here, Please keep her Red and by all means do not upgrade the engine (LS-swap or someting) because you will chew up your entire Borg-Warner drivetrain. If you must LS-Swap this Camaro, then swap out the entire drive train as wel, capable to handle the Horse power and Torque the LS in the end comes with. And please when you turn off the engine by key, the power really is off when you press down the key release button behind the key so you can turn the key all the way back so both arrows on the key/contact actually point to each other.... ask me how I know....
Yeah I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with that Color combination Red/Silver I also will add the lower decals that should be on the car too. Me and my dad were recently out at the pick and pull and picked up a door and a fender for the camaro too. Now I have all the parts I needed to repaint this car and get it ready for the road again
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms Ecellent, and please take us all along in the journey to give her back her former full Glory she deserves👍🤩
Corona CA and it's hit and miss on the Heat currently. We are anywhere from 70 to 80.
Oh nice I haven't been down to California before I really got to go take a road trip down there sometime. See what kind of cars I can find along the way.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
A friend of mine just bought 2 third gens..1 is supposed to be an 85 Iroc Z28 305 auto.and the other is supposedly an 87 RS 2.8 5 speed,converted from auto, with an 82 or 83 nose on it...
Ohh nice that's awesome I recently just came across a 86 Iroz Z sitting in a wrecking yard I'm hoping to pick it up and rebuild it as long as the VIN number rolls back OK to rebuild and it was decommissioned. What color are your friends camaros? The one I was looking at was a blue color I think it's identical to my.91 Firebird
Fellow canuck here...just found your channel, subbed and gave ya a like. Love the 3rd gens, specifically the 89 IROC... If it were mine, I would paint her dark charcoal metallic, which would look nice with the lower grey silver trim package it has. Look forward to watching your past vids and future content... oh ya...its " Zed " 28..not Zeeee...LOL
Awesome thanks I greatly appreciate that 👍🏻 what part of Canada? I will definitely have a bunch of 3rd gen content coming out along with other f-body Camaros and Firebirds Trans Ams as well. Once I'm finished up the 1980 Scottsdale. Dark Charcoal Metallic would look great on that car. I knew a guy back in high school who had an 85 in that color combination looks really good. Haha exactly Zed 28 lol that's what I've always called it lol
14:22 on my 82 i use broken hockey sticks as hood or rear window prop rods.. using the same wooden Sherwood stick the last 4 decades. Lol. The original 1982 gas struts lasted 15 years in the back and say half that amount for the hood..😊
You just can't beat a good Sherwood brand hockey stick they last forever haha.15 yesrs out of a gas strut that's wild lol I swear every car I've gotten of these the gas struts are always gone haha.
Thanks again for watching leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
I’m from Ontario and Canadian tire or “Newfie Speedsport” is always the go-to for parts. They have a wide selection of everything now especially on weekends. Any thing from dealerships is going to require you mortgaging your home.
I have quite a few jobber parts store here that I get most of my parts from and princess auto and TSC is another good place to get stuff from.
Ohh nice what part of Ontario? I'm originally from Pembroke Ontario. I've been out in Alberta for the past 15 years there now. I'm hoping to be able to go back home in the summertime and set up a big car show down there. Just trying to work stuff out with the city to find all the details on a car show event before I plan anything. We have a lord co auto parts and parts source out here I normally go to. Except they are 3 hours away in Edmonton 😆
Kool beans I hope my T/A starts that easy, however i need to chase down the wires the rats chewed up. I just wished it was a 5 speed . If mind wasn't an Anniversary Edition I would paint it black and buy those black 1982-92 T/A wheels.
Yeah this one definitely wasn't too bad to get it up and running again, hopefully yout Trans Am can get up and running relatively easy. Those anniversary editions are nice Cars,
Keep the existing colour combination. It will be more attractive. Especially if you decide to sell it. 👍🏿
Yeah I.want to say like 65% - 75% of the comments on the page have been in favor of the orginal red and silver paint combination
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
@@fullyloadedkustoms 3rd gen'rs gotta stick together 👊🏿😆
@stephencampbell8498 oh exactly haha I've got a few more 3rd gens I've Come across over winter, hopefully bring that back once all the snow melts lol
I had a 1982. Z28 same color. It was a crossfire engine. Crashed it back in 2003. I like the one you have better. Yours doesn't have the Crossfire engine for 1. And yours has T-tops. Very nice. Red is the right color too. 😊👍
A lot of people are definitely loving the red and silver combination on this 83 Camaro. I might have to go with that color when I repainted here right away. Oh that's too bad about your Camaro hopefully you have a chance to pick up another one
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Orange and black / unique eye catching color and paint from AutoZone or O'Reilly Auto Parts !/$34.99 per Quart .
Wow that's a really good price for paint can't beat that. It would be nice to have some O Reilys parts stores here in Canada. That's one that we are missing
First off, I love your F body videos. I myself love the F bodies, as I bought a '97 Firebird Convertible last Feb. EXCELLENT shape, loved the driving season this yr but sadly she is in my storage unit now till April. It's cold now in IA, USA and we had 2" of snow here Saturday. Oh well.....keep it up, best wishes!!!
Hey thanks greatly appreciated. That is awesome what color is your 97 Pontiac firebird? Oh that sucks to hear that it is getting snow over there in Iowa. I'm sure the snow and really cold weather is going to be on its way here to Alberta right away too haha. It always is lol. I'm very glad I stocked up on 3rd gen projects for the winter here lol.
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated 🙏
It's RED, black convertible top, gray cloth interior.
But keep this in mind that Chevrolet keys are Universal so if you have multiple Chevrolet Keys you can reuse those always keep those in mind and stock up on all Chevrolet Keys General Motors
I've heard from a few people now in the comments that apparently older GM car keys car work on multiple vehicles
I'm jealous. A few years ago, I bought an '87 IROC but it ended up being more rusted out than I thought and is now a parts car for my '86 sport coupe. Wish I had waited and bought something like what you got in MUCH better shape.
Anxious to see what you do to it. I'd also keep it red, personally, even though I am partial to Metallic Blue.
I actually just came across a 86 Iroc yesterday I'm 100% considering picking that car up to build it's in pretty good shape. And at $600 Canadian I don't think you can go wrong there. This 86 I found I would love to paint it a metallic Blue color
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
Hey this ones in much better shape than the last one. Or two or three okay it's in the best shape IMHO. LOL. Great find for s Saskatchewan car!
Yeah this Camaro is in fantastic shape. A lot of these that have been able to find are in pretty good shape with very minimal rust. Good thing for the dry climate we got out in this area in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Had this been in Ontario car she might have rusted in half already with all the salt down there haha. But this one's going to make for a solid project can't wait to tear into it.
gaqwd where have you beeeeeen!! love me some third gens!! been trying to figure out an 89 formula clone that was clobbered together myself, i dont know squat about anything other than a small bit of SBC and carb knnowledge tpi kicking my butt.. think i have some it figured it out now! also KEEP IT RED PBUTTER INTERIOR AND RED!
Ahh nice I'll definitely have a lot of third gen and f-body content and builds coming up on the channel. I'm actually going to take a look at an 86 Trans Am there this afternoon too on my way to the city hopefully that follows me back here. Oh nice you're building an 89 formula? That has definitely been the most popular color combination that people have suggested for this Camaro
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
My first car was a 1983 camaro Z28. beige with a brown bottom. I bought it in 1994 and still have it. But now its 1997 ford thunderbird pacific green.
Oh nice that's awesome to still have. Your first car after all these years that's amazing that makes for such great memories. I am 100% going to build a replica of my 1983 Camaro I had in high school on the channel
Thanks for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
That car is in dam good shape!!! That is a friggin score!!! It even has the rear wiper option!
I always loved the look of the 82 Z28 to 86 Iroc Z. The low profile with the wide stance looks awesome.
Those carbs worked really good when serviced properly. The feeling from four barrels opening up and doing a hard pull with that sound of the air rushing into the carb is a great feeling!!!
The only thing I hated was that dam gauges! Chevy always had crappy gauges whereas Pontiac always had excellent gauge package.
I had an 82 Trans Am that had every feature in it including factory air with the TTops which was a special order.
You must have got that for a steal of a deal since the guy lost interest. lol!
100 percent I always come across these great deals when I'm out doing internet installs. Camaro is in really great shape other than the one fender. I definitely can't wait to get started on the Camaro I'm pretty sure I'm going to go back to the original paint job with it as well. Oh nice that's sweet I'm also looking at picking up another 82 Trans Am that I found while I was doing internet installs. I'm hoping to have three more 3rd gens to do will it run videos on here soon later this summer

Rob seen the video love your channel ❤ any how ! I think if you can get it not sure if you could ! But that new wild cherry 🍒 tint coat used on the 2022 Camaro would look really nice on that 1983 Z28 ! ❤ keep up the good work 👍look forward to seeing the finished product on all your Fbodies I am a huge F body freak ❤
Awesome thanks I greatly appreciate that I'll have tons of Fbody content coming up once I finish up the 1980 Scottsdale I'm working on.
I just search that color it definitely looks really good that red looked really nice on the 83 Z28 for sure. Make it really stand out.

Please find a..1985 Z20 or Z24 cavalier coupe with sport package and make a video of getting it back on the road... again and I mostly likely will buy it from you for way more than you have in it. Haven't even seen one in over 17 years now in ANY condition.. they are impossible to find now today... SADLY 😢
I used to have a 1994 z 22 Cavalier that was one of mymy first car way back in high school good I seen a 1988 Cavalier recently posted on Facebook Marketplace out in this area around Edmonton. But I definitely do not see'80s Cavaliers posted very often
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
You scored with this one. I would go back with the red color but if changing it definitely the burgundy of the same year Iroc series and maybe go with gold Iroc wheels as well.
Tuning in to see where you go with this one.👍
Oh No I drove a 1976 455 4 Speed Trans Am so much fun when I was getting ready to graduate my Dad got me a Brand New Car just like he had my 2 older brother’s when I went to get my new car it was a 1982 Maroon on Maroon Z28 new generation I had to ride a bus to Dallas to get it weren’t many to be found sitting still was Beautiful and Definitely a Chick Magnet when I got back the Handling was a Great it was Car Nd Trac car of the year here is a suggestion get rid of that piece of junk 305 Cheverolet engine and the stupid metric 200 Transmission junk if you don’t put a 350 turbo transmission then v6 243 305 Horrible
Oh nice that's awesome I had a 1976 Pontiac Trans Am that was the first car I purchased when I got to Alberta. Then it got hit in the parking lot and wrote off even before I had a chance to drive it. Love the style on those 76 Trans Ams. Nice that's awesome that would have been sweet to get a brand new 82 Camaro Z28. Yeah It would be nice to get a 350 or even like a 383 stroker for this car be great give it some good horsepower under that hood.

I live in Texas gets cold there but nothing like y'all get. I watch couple guys from Canada. D D speed shop, zip tide bias plie and half ass customs. Oh and rust valay. I'm at my back in high school. Everybody had a car like that I didn't I was a Square body chevy's mini trucks and caprice , classic square body or box whatever they call them.
Oh nice yeah it gets stupid cold out here hahah. Was -52 with the windchill back in mid January at one point lol. Nice I'm not far from rust valley like 10 hours same distance from DD speed in winnipeg. Square body's are sweet I'm working on one right now and will have the video up for that series in the next week or so

Charcoal grey...btw,GREAT FIND, GREAT JOB ! The only thing I would do is, take the rear spoiler off the Camaro and put on a wing like the one on the Trans am...OR same yr as the camaro.
Hey thanks I appreciate that, it was definitely a great find to come across this Camaro. Glad I stopped and knocked on the door to find out if it was for sale. Oh that's a cool idea I don't think I've seen that done before
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
305 Is a good engine but it doesn't belong in a z28. If you want to keep the carburetor I would at least put a 350 in there. U can do what u want with it but you won't get a better transmission than the 4L60E, it's rugged trans. You can do what you want with it but I would swap it for an LS1/4L60E combo and just throw 370 in the rear end. It's a good combo
An Ls1 swap with the 4L60E would make that Camaro pretty badass to drive and definitely give it some more horse power it deserves
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated
That sure looks VERY familiar, I had a 1983 Z28 a couple years ago, canadian car as well so no computer control, no AC, TH200C, red on silver, but it had no option and base interior in charcoal. It had the funny clock in the center console you got if you didn't order a radio. It was so basic it didn't have rear speakers or even the openings for them in the rear panel, and no antenna hole in the fender either. Sweet car, not fast but a simple lovely cruiser.
Oh nice that's right on so you pretty much had the identical looking car that's cool. Yeah exactly it would make for a great Cruiser. I would really like to redo this Camaro or the 91 Firebird over the winter time and take one of those two. And drive it across Canada which is roughly 2600 miles to my hometown in Pembroke Ontario and help my younger brother paint his 87 Cutlass in the spring. Would definitely make for a great road trip and would also help my younger brother good also get my family in some more RUclips videos would make for a great time
Thanks again for watching and leaving your comments it's greatly appreciated👍🏻
I have an 87 Z28 and it was red like yours and I got side swiped on the passenger side door and fender and my body guy who was supposed to be my friend talked me into painting it Viper blue because he owned a couple of them and gave me a break on the paint. My interior is black cloth seats . Long story short, I wished I had left it pull me over red 😂!!! Although that maroon looked pretty nice too. Your call sir. Another third gen back on the road. Awesome 👍🏻!!!
Ahh that sucks that's what happend to my 83 Camaro I had in high school. Guy side swiped me too. Yeah that red is definitely an attention grabbing color Lora of people have left suggestions to go back to that color
