Alan Lewenthal deserves much credit for his dedication to restoring the 69 Z28 to factory specs. The man lost money but gained an enormous reputation for getting it right the first time. Love the man's passion, Kudo's to Alan and his shop people for putting an American classic muscle car back on the street!
John Hancock those stripes are so wrong it's ridiculous. Considering we haven't even gotten into details and something that big is already incorrect... It's the first thing and I'm betting it's not the last. An actual $100k restoration wouldn't have these sort of screw ups. Saying he "got it right" is exaggerating quite a bit.
You guys are forgetting that this is a Z/28 with the RS package---I'll bet you 20,000 of those weren't made. It's still not worth what he paid for it, though.
Great show with little drama but it is still a reality show. This is not a $100,000 restoration. He paid $7000 for $800 worth of quarter panels, we are not that stupid. No way he took a $40 grand hit to just sell it either. It sold for what he had into it at the most. Still better than the Turtle family arguments or the other bullshit car shows out there. I still give it a thumbs up!
Engine dino first run was around 6150 rpm , second was 6500 rpm . When he did the drag race he peeled out for like 3 seconds ? . I am glad hes out there restoring these old cars tho . Americana is going to be coming back in a big way
@@Mcleod0000 I wonder... especially with these snowflake millennials. I can truly appreciate the ones though that appreciate these cars ! And love them also. My son is about 80% done restoring his 68 Mustang Fastback. 👍
man this car is my dream all im doing in my life is to be wealthy enough to afford it one day and i love the way alan loved to restore this car his eyes at the end of the video while selling his car i love this guy and his passion
THIS BRINGS OUT CONDOLENCES...WHAT A L O S S...SUCH A RARE Z28 TOO...OUTSTANDING POWER OUTTA THAT ENGINE...ONE IF MY FAVE ALL TIME CAMEROS TOO...I HAVE RIDDEN AND DROVE THE 302 Z28...PINK RODS...YUP...
Wow ! Amazing that two replacement quarter panels cost A LOT more than the car brand new ! My close friend bought a nice used one for $3200 and still has it. 🤣. I sold my 69 Chevelle SS and had a total of $6000 in it. But sold it for $3000 to get a 71 Trans Am with a 455 factory Hurst 4 speed in excellent condition for $3600. Sold it when my daughter was born for $4600. Thought I was making a profit 🤣🤣. Now these cars are worth Boo Koo Bucks ! If all of us guys new what these cars were going to be worth.🤣 You could get them dirt cheap all over from the 73 gas crunch days all the way up until 83. Sheeesh !
Last summer i took a BONE stock 140hp 1978 malibu with a 305-2 barrel with stock exhaust, stock everything! ,with an open 2.29 rear end on stock radials, Ran 16 seconds. it is a 4 figure car. lol
+PrayfrJapan .com I got a 1982 Z28 with an aftermarket 350 cam and bolt on's only making 280ish hp and it runs 13.7's. this guy has no idea how to race on a strip. look at all that wheel spin.
This car wouldn't have 404 horsepower once you put exhaust manifolds instead of headers and all the drive belt accessories on it. Was probably running rich after them jetting it for headers.
That 302 built right should be making 400 to 500 hps. The 290 hp rating was a TOTAL lie from the factory. with 3..73s it should have been hitting 14s in the quarter.
69 RS Z-28 flat hood, no spoilers, no console, 780 Holley, chambered exhaust, original been in my garage 50+ years. For all you genius that think they know everything.
I just sold a 69 RS/SS350 numbers matching needing assembly that I've had in my possesion for 41 years . All new sheet metal but time was not on my side. My brother had a 69 Z/28 midnight blue that he sold for 1,500.00 when I was 15 , I managed to drive it a few times without him knowing, how wished he would of held it for 2 years when I got my license. Sorry to see you didn't make the number, but you guys did the car right.
This is the first car restoration TV show I've seen that shows the truth in the fact that he lost money. Car restoration is a labor of love, not a profitable business like flipping houses. The only way a car like that could sell for a hundred grand is if it was an unrestored original paint mint condition time capsule that some nut job drove from the dealership to their basement forty years ago.
I just checked eBay and there are quite a few DZ302s for sale. Yeah, they're $4000 and over, but they're available. Imo, I would love to see a built DZ302 with all forged internals, balanced bottom end, head studs, built heads, some custom made 1 7/8" turbo manifolds, and a big turbo or F1A Procharger. Something bulletproof, high revving, and above all...fast. Those 67 Z28s and Firebirds are an awesome chassis for a drag racer.
That guy that sold them that made out like a bandit. Nice they brought it back, doubt it would have been even less profitable now days. Well, that's not really fair, the thing was really old and came from the rust belt. They didn't even used to galvanize steel in these bodies, it's not a big surprise.
That's what happens when you pay $7k for a thousand bucks worth of quarter panels. If he bought parts at this scale for the whole car, no WONDER he lost that much money. I smell a pile of lies going on during this show.
False claims. All of the 'risk' is on the show. Someone got lucky and picked up a "z-28" for a price that even at the final strike is too rich. The owner did not lose $40,000. All expenses are covered by the contract with the show.
Talk about wrong info...the Z28 wasn't a "street racer" or a drag car. It was a designed as a track car to compete in the SCCA trans am series in 1967 , that's the whole reason the engine size was capped at 302 cubic inches, in order to fit under the 305 cu inch limit. Likely why the previous owner swapped in the big block to go drag racing. Unfortunately the restorer was dreaming to think he would recoup 6 figure restoration costs on a Z without its "born with" engine. Not a very wise move, and the 40 grand loss is proof of that.
+my31and37 U nailed it absolutely correctly a 16 second quarter mile in those days I was racing meant U were driving a dog or our grandmothers car ,,, a 302 was a waste of space in the world of street racing
+harpguy1 Really, it was rated 290HP @ 5800 rpm but would easily do over 7000 rpm and had closer to 360hp. With the off road package it made about 460hp. I had a DZ 302 in a 70 chevelle and ran low 13s with smaller 1.94 double hump heads. Put a bigger cam and 750 duel feed holly and shattered the aluminum wheel at the track. Not saying these cars today don't make them look like grocery getters but they were fast for their time.
+my31and37 Yea I thought it was funny dude was throwing so much money into a car with repop fenders, non matching numbers and in a wreck... all over a dam paint code.
my31and37 Dead on target Sir. If he wanted to restore a , 'street racer', or for the drag strip, perhaps he should have done a little more researching and searched for what I call the Z/28's Daddy the, "SS" model that was equipped with a Big block under the hood. Additionally, this guy failed to install the trunk lid spoiler during the restoration process.
Most staged yard find in history, air in tires, zero weeds and rats living in it, no discoloration, not buried half in the ground, rolls like a dream after sitting for years vs dragged out with all 4 wheels and breaks locked up by a tractor
Exactly. Did you see that staged engine as well? Who they fooling? They bought that engine block new and pretend it was shipped to them. That engine was not 30 years old that engine looked brand new
They also didnt open the same car hood they showed it with a black hood hood with orange stripes then on a close up when he finds out it has no engine the hood is orange with black stripes
I love this car, love the color, but I would personally add the classic spoiler to the back. I feel like it’s incomplete without it. Still fantastic ride though!
A stock rebuild can be as expensive as a resto-mod . Stock cars attract purest, nothing wrong with that But resto's attract lots of Yups with big bucks !
LOL my stock 265ci 4 barrel and with 3 speed stick in my 56 Bellaire 2 door turned high 15s and low 16s all day... Someone got screwed here... THAT WAS DOWN RIGHT UGLY TO WATCH IT RUN....
In '69, the 302, 327 and 350 could have all came with the same 618 casting block. The only difference in these three displacements was the stroke. It's convenient that they do not show the actual DZ suffix code.
My dream is to have a 69 Camaro built pro-tour. I would just get a Dynacorn body all new sheet metal. Also born and raised right down the street from Fisher Body Flint, MI.
I bought a black on black 69 Camaro with a 327 4speed for 900 bucks cuz it had a factory steel cowl ind hood and rear deck spoiler . It was pretty beat up , one quarter literally full of bondo, motor on its last legs , used a quart every couple days.The Saginaw whined like a puppy. But it was all intact, all there factory FM radio nice interior , looked great wet at night. I found some as new Z28 badges in the box and bolted them to the correct places. First kid that saw it nearly creamed his jeans and gave me 3200 bucks for it. Back in 84 that was a good flip , tax free money. In retrospect , should have rebuilt the car and kept it how many black 4 speed 69 Camaro's do you get to own in life. One of many I should have kept.
I thought the dz 302s were to compete in the trans -am/ can - am. Like scca type racing. Hence the cubic inch and hp limits. Also would have been cool to be able to show the build sheets and the options sheet for this car. With a ultra paint code z/28 rs provenance helps get that extra cash on the back end. Helps to know the exact paint codes
it breaks my heart to see a car going in to a collection insted of beeing driven / on the otherside if no one collected /horded there wood be no cars to restore and the car wood be lost forever.
PARTS...and LABOR (staff) , THEN pick an auction by what that auction house SELLS. NOT in Atlantic City where the sales are older classics. Musclecars sell at B+J, and MECUM.
That’s too bad Alan the money you put into that car unfortunately I had a 69 Mercedes 280 S was restored in San Diego brought back to Rhode Island ended up on the auction block in Newport Rhode Island and sold for much less then What I had into it so I know how you feel but what a gorgeous car my favorite
It's so original it's got an el cheapo steering wheel and non numbers matching drivetrain and sheet metal that runs slower than grandma's toyota.who wouldn't pay over $100000?

"Two quarter panels and the hardware cost Alan nearly $7'000." Wow...you're shopping at the wrong place, bro!
I just put 2 new quarters on my 69 ss and I agree lol
NOS?
That’s because there nos or original repop panels are Junk and don’t fit well at all
@@EL_TORCIDO Not true. AMD body panels and OEM make great parts. I'm currently in the process of restoring a 69 Z28.
come and meet Ilhabela Brazil!
When I drag raced in the 70s we called 16 quarter mile times tow truck times.
$18K? Yeah, I know, I know......first gen Z's were rare. But that's still alot of money to pay for a rusted out field muffin without an engine.
+justsomeguytoyou Yeah I was thinking the same thing, that seems an absurdly large amount.
+justsomeguytoyou Not to mention paying $7k for a pair of quarters and some hardware
20,302 Z28 were made in 1969
You guys are forgetting that this is a Z/28 with the RS package---I'll bet you 20,000 of those weren't made. It's still not worth what he paid for it, though.
the custom paint code that the car had increases the value.

Stock '69 Z/28's run's way faster than 16s lol, so with 404HP it should have done way faster time, I dont understand ?! And 7k for quarter panels ?!
it should be around mid 14 at least
+PrayfrJapan .com What do you expect when he spun the 60ft.. Blame the "professionally trained" driver for that one.

Depending on gearing,,, 302 is a low torque DOG, many barely get into the 14's
This car wouldn't have 404 horsepower once you put exhaust manifolds instead of headers and all the drive belt accessories on it. Was probably running rich after them jetting it for headers.
That needs an air scoop. Who agrees? Perfect video!
16 secs at 85 mph lol. I would have set it on fire and then beat the engine builder.
lol me too. the dude was a terrible driver. shit tires with 400hp should be min of 12's
