Where can I find the RPO codes? What is up with those fuses? What are some ideas for a vanity plate? 👊🙏
Hot Lips 👄 or GTLO get the led out.

Mine is on the glove box door.as for parts try year one. classic industries.RK sport.and hawks motorsports.
Reynolds Rides check the glove compartment
I got a build sheet from my local Chevy dealership you just have to talk to parts and give them your vin number. I think someone put the wrong fuses in those spots too cause mine are 20 amps for the horn. Really nice Camaro though you'll have a blast with this car
I bought my 94 Z28 383 Lt1 T56 car for $1400. Needed passenger fender and oil coolant hose repair and passenger window motor. Nice ride bro she’s awesome.
I just started restoring mine. I got it new in 1995 when I was a young pup. I still own the car. It is a z28 six-speed t-tops all leather. The color is a majestic purple. In any case we just start ripping into it we were going to rebuild the motor it also has roughly the same amount of miles as yours.
Nice! Thanks for sharing. Good luck with the resto.
@@ReynoldsRides thanks gonna need it.
Same engine/trans as my '95 Caprice had. Drives beautiful when everything is working right. Beware the Opti-Spark distributor, hopefully it's been replace once. Best and easiest to do it when waterpump was replaced.
It has 273 gears in the rear end. On freeway it's great. About the same RPM as a 6 speed on freeway. When the gear selector is missing 1st gear, it has 273 gears.
EXACTLY what I want to get. I had a '96 RS that I regretfully sold. I want another, Z28 of course. Same color and all, black mirrors, T-tops.. I'm jealous.
I just bought the same car, 130k with brand new tires, and vented brakes for 3k! I cant wait to whip it around!
Has the T-Tops and a auto
Nice!
my dads old z28 is a black lt1 with all the options. sadly the engine blew a couple of years ago. i still remember riding in the back as we did donuts in it. cant wait to rebuild it!
Nice, I had a 96 for a while. I think the LT1 is the best sounding FI engine chevy has ever made.
If that F Body is as rust free underneath, as it is on top, you got a great deal at $2,500.
The 1995 / 1996 LT-1 engines had the bugs worked out of them that the earlier '92 thru '94 had problems with.
I have a '96 C4 with an LT-1 that has been trouble free and I currently have 115,000.0 miles on it with the original Opti-Spark.
Good luck with your new ride.
It's so funny to see cars from even like the 1950's that people are tearing down and dustless blasting preparing to restore or resto-mod, and there are tiny little areas where there are areas of rust around the edges.
To my eyes they are in unbelievably mint condition because when I started building cars for all out racing or custom street racers in the late 1970's, I was fighting rust issues on 1969 Camaros. Not even ten years old and there were rust holes in the dog leg, front fenders, rear quarters, floor pans on the convertibles, bottoms of the doors, and trunk floors.
You name it, there could be rust.
Clearly, New England is the worst place on the planet for being a gear head.
:)
This Z28 rocks! I had a Red Z28 like this but with T-Tops & 6spd.
One of my favorite cars of all times. Be careful. There's no traction control.
my 96 has traction control. was 96 the first year that offered it? its fun to turn it off when it's dry out LOL, as long as you know how to handle her.
Good deal, owned a 97 Z28, 2010 Camaro SS in the pass, I traded in the 97 for a brand new 2002 Camaro SS, 35th Anniversary, 6 spd manual , which I still own now and love it😎👍🏾🔥💯
Oh yeah I also have my c4 1987 Vette 😎👍🏾🔥💯
Nice Z. I have a very clean highly modded Z28 also with 30k miles. Stainless steel long tubes from Ebay, Magnaflow catback, GMPP cold air induction, chrome ZO6 wheels, built 4l60 trans,3.73 gear, cowl fiberglass hood, LS1 drive shaft, lots stuff from UMI. If you have any questions I might be able to help you. 👍🏾
That all sounds awesome and thanks!
If you own a 4th gen that isn’t a show piece; then you know when it comes to the fuel pump you go with the trap door. Dropping the exhaust and tank is only at play when you’re willing to swap out exhausts or other parts. Otherwise just have an easy access door cut behind the rear seat. Easy to find alignment topography maps for the cuts online.
what does this mean, eli5
Pretty car man. I own a fbody trans am & i swear its like everywhere i go.. Always some ones asking to buy it. Cant wait to see your adventures with her
Nice car. Thats a lot of fun for only $2,500! I thought I recall a my 97 SS had a sticker on the drivers door that listed all the codes. I miss my 97 SS and I keep looking for another 97 from time to time.
This is crazy! I got the same car same year red with the hard top and it’s from Canada as well, only difference is mine is a t56 car. Look forward to seeing more videos, I cannot find the codes on mine either
Mine ended up being in the glove box. I didn’t look hard enough 🤦♂️.
I’ll have to look there lol
Yeah, was done 5 minutes away from where i live :) saw all 4th gen camaros/firebirds/transam coming out of the plant ! I was 4yo when they began in 93 !! I have some special feelings towards 4th gens !! Owned 2 but probably gonna buy a Z28 95 red just like you got but she's manual ;) 🤟🔥
Good Sunday evening. I subscribed to your channel because I'm restoring my 94 project trans am. I do all my mechanical work myself. Your codes are in glove box. The correct fuses is on your fuse diagram under the hood and on the driver's side dashpanel.... My 94 trans am is getting a complete makeover. From top to bottom.. I have some short videos up on my channel..
I bought a camaro z28 96 6mt ttop for 2.5k and has your mods plus pacesetter long tubes. I spent like 2-3 years looking for her wanted a ls1 but i dont mind the lt1 in fact im in love with it.
oh and i forgot my biggest flex 82k miles hahaah a steal
That is a steal!
I get my 97 z28 from the shop tomorrow, it sat in my garage for about 12 years with a spun bearing. Decide it was time to bring her back to life.
You got a good deal btw
👍
I put my 97 RS in the shop yesterday for the engine. Going in tomorrow to discuss what needs to be done engine wise, step one to restauration..
I had a 93' z28 back in the day, loved it!!! Beautiful car!!!! :)
I copped a 95 Camaro as my first car. Its not the z28 but it is a monster!! I love mine tho i had a couple of electrical problems.
Sometimes the local chevy dealer service manager or parts department guy can look up the rpo history and do a print out for you. Parts guy can look up the part number on the decal to see if it's for a camaro or other gm car. Just a thought ;)
Z28 camaro are great own a 1999 z28 with 93000 original miles bought used 4 years ago for 3000 in past I have had 87 z28 89 rs77 camaro v8 79 camaro v8 all have been fun cars the 99 is the fast one all were stock very nice corvette and camaro
The RPO codes should be a white sticker in the glove compartment. Also check the door jam sticker on the drivers side
I have been looking at these and they are REALLY reasonably priced even with low miles. I would have to do manual transmission though. I want to say this car does 0-60 in like 6 seconds and the manual does it in 5.5 seconds. The LS1 based cars with manual do it in 5 seconds flat. For a name how does "Red Betty" or "Red Sonya" sound? 😉
My old 2.73 geared automatic z28 did 0-60 in 5.9 seconds by my count. My old 3.23 geared automatic z28 did 0-60 in 5.7-5.8 seconds. Pretty quick. Both Lt1 cars.
How much do these cost was thinking about getting one
It’s was a steal I paid 3,500 but had rebuilt motor and trans also new breaks, rims, flow master and tires.
Hey I found a 1996 camaro z28 with 195,000 miles ... how much did of that cost you ? Rebuilding motor and transmission and how was the result ?
I can’t wait to get mines hopefully next Saturday
Cool video! Can't wait to see what you do with this Z!
Thanks!
You can cut hole at rear trunk to get access to fuel pump and no need to drop the exhaust or axle.
If i'm not mistaken the RPO codea are either on the driver side door jambs or under tge hood.
Glad I found this channel! Just bought a 94 t top 6 speed!
Welcome aboard and congrats on the purchase.🥳
Congrats on the new car. I love the sound of the exhaust. Sounded like thunder rumble when you started her. 2500 is a great deal. I also like that you kept it in the Chevy family. It’s a bummer it’s not stick but I’m excited to see your plans for her. My guess on the horn fuse is you put a 20 amp fuse in there and the horn works (fingers crossed).
I have one of these cars no z28 as it's v6 but they look nice and it's still fun to drive
The Hard tops Handle Better, t-tops seem to really leak alot. I believe the automatic was the option at that time.
I have a 95 6 speed
My t tops don't leak
Love the color. I bought a 1994 Z28 brand new. Ordered it from the factory. Same color exterior and interior as yours, but mine had T-tops, and a factory CD player Delco/Bose stereo. That car was fast. I had it up to 165mph, and it sounded like a nascar. Wish I still had it.
That’s awesome!
Reynolds Rides it was one of my favorite cars. My C4 is my new favorite. It was my dream car when I was 16 years old. Lol
That's cool I have a 94 and 95 c4 it's when they made the cars right and it's 0-60 in 5.6 seconds
I just picked up a 94 z28 that I will restore...I’m watching all your videos keep it up 👍
Mr Reynolds, trying too but a 95 z back together, my mechanic redid my head gasket etc, but it needs work with my transmission ive heard from several manual owners said 2gear was trash, teeth/sycro it wont get into 2nd others ok, he suggested in stead of taking transmission / gear box out too a good transmission shop,2 replace a gear, he & others say to get a refurbish 1 it a few places here , it would be better, have good 6,
Whats crazy is how accurate the older gran turismo games were when you filmed the engine revving. I remember before I got my exhaust it was so nonchalant listening to that sound. I’ve got a few LT1 exhaust vids on my channel.
Really thinking of picking one these up. Found a 95 z28 with the 6sp 90k miles. 2500$ issues paint and optispark needs replaced.
Did you end up getting it? I have a 02 SS on my channel as well
I have a '95 Z28 convertible and the RPO codes are in the glove box.
Great purchase! From what I’ve read the RPO code sticker may be in the glove box? I actually test drove one of those back in 95 and decided to buy a Mustang GT. Basically because the Mustang seemed to be a better built car however the Z28 was way faster!
Camaro Z28 is easily the better car vs a Mustang. The Z28 is better built and is a better performance car.
Just my personal experience. When I was shopping for a car back then I was open to any car. I drove a Z28, Trans Am, Mustang GT and even a Dodge Stealth. Both Z28 and Trans Am had issues with buttons for the instruments and the doors rattled when you closed them. The Stealth was way over priced and under powered. The Mustang just had a solid feel when closing doors and the materials were better quality. I really wanted the GM options but when interior switches are already failing on a brand new car, no thanks!
Im a mustang guy but i really love these cars, have alot of high school memories
Have you seen my Mustang videos?
Awsome!🤘👌 and congrats!
I to own a 95 camaro z28 6 speed only 19k miles. Beautiful car and fun to drive. You dont see these aroung anymore. But they are great cars!
🙏👊
I just got one yes to and it could use some work to do I’m looking forward to see what you do to give me some ideas on how I do mine
2500! That sounds like a steal! Now it just need a Helephant motor lol
I literally bought a 95 Z28 with T Tops earlier today for $2300 146k miles and drives like New😂😂😂they were asking 3200 but I talked them down☝️👌car is fast as shit man. Feels faster than my 02 Camaro SS
Such a classic even better from Canada! A T top would be pretty slick!
Nice car man and welcome to the 4th gen club! I’ve owned three and currently own a 95 red hardtop z28 six speed. I was looking for a T top car when I found mine but I actually like the look of the black hardtop it’s a cleaner look in my opinion. And like others have already said they are more solid cars and handle better. Especially with suspension mods 😜
I have a 94 v6, I have the exact same interior and I absolutely love it
👍👊
I always support additions to the stable. Too bad about the t-tops.
In high school i had a red 95 z. I had ttops leather and 6spd. The mirrors and halo were red tho for some reason where yours is black.
I bought my sons 95 Z28 , I like it so far
Body color halo and mirrors were an option in '95. Working on a white 95 Z28 rn myself. T-tops, 6 speed and graphite leather. White with black halo. 116k miles and better condition (good vs fair urs). PaId $4,500, so your $2,500 definitely strikes me as a good deal.
@@chrisbrzon3917 thx, never knew that. I actually like the black better on the red. Funny its an option because now vettes come with halos and guys are wrapping them black lmao.
I just bought a 98 Camaro LS1 with 139k miles on it for 4k. Aside from a couple tears in the Leather interior it’s in real good shape.
Did I get a good deal in y’all’s opinion? This is also my first Camaro ever and I’m ecstatic about it. Unfortunately It’s automatic and no t top, but I’m not too worried about it
I found a 1995 with 95k miles for 5500. T top but automatic always stored inside not sure if i should get it.. any tips?
Sounds like a good deal if the test drive goes well.
If it’s a V6 it’s a major overpay
i got a cam with the same interior but i got it with t top and men let me told you this cars are amazing
Nice!
Good price... it's all there.....and it runs...and it's a Z28 Good deal I still like my Vette's
I've been thinking of a ride to pick up before 1996. (Don't want to deal with NYS emission inspections) I think this is it.
07:26- How about, “Cherry Blossom!”
Are you in a county here that you have to emissions test? I am in Weber County and curious if you had any issues with emissions
Yes, but when I bought the car the previous owner had just done emissions so the DMV let me register the car using his recent test. So, I haven’t had to do it yet but it should be fine (🤞).
@@ReynoldsRides going to pick up my 95z28 project down past provo today :). Pretty excited thanks to your videos! Thanks! It's a salvage title from a wreck back in the 90's but super cheap with 80k miles so worth the gamble :D
right front rim. is there a chunk taken out of it?
we have one same year but ours has chrome rims and 157k miles with loud exhaust
I’m sure you will give her the little love she needs...🇺🇸🦅🔥🗽💪🚗
😉👊
I have same. Except mine only has 80 thousand miles& tops but mine says z 28. But it's a v 6
Looks like a road legal funny car love it
I just bought a 2000 Camaro out in north salt lake. wish it was a v8 but still a camaro
Thats common for the dash on them f body's all of them do that that's a easy fix bautifull car brother
Thanks!
i mean not all of them do that but yeah, its an easy fix for an amazing car. totally worth it even with the cracks
I bought my z28 convertible in 1994. I drove it for 22 years and 267,000 miles before the engine finally died. It still had the original fuel injectors and transmission. When I replaced the struts at 150,000 miles, the shop told me that they should be replaced every 50,000 miles. They were still good at 267,000 miles. The opti-spark was, of course, another story. I replaced it 4 times over the years. The body had two small rust spots on the doors. With all the parts that had a quarter of a million miles on them I sold the car as is to someone that knew what he was buying.
Just bought my 4th car full bolt on car for 2k and bought a 94 camaro z28 with 56k miles for 800 but had some front end damage ran like brand new and interior was brand new
Right on!👍
I've bought a 1995 z28 for $2000.00 the guy who sold it was asking $2500.00. Pretty happy with love it.
I'm thinking about a 1996 Camaro I'd had a 1995 but it didn't have the tiles for it.
$2,500 is an insane deal. The automatics in these cars aren't a bad experience, and i would argue it fits the car better. which, is a muscle car/cruiser. Not really a sports car for twisty roads.
Hey, it’s not a good thing that the engine doesn’t come up to temperature. It should be right in the middle. You might have a bad thermostat that’s stuck open
Underneath the rear seats
just bought a 93 z28 camaro in great condition so i’m very excited to make this my project car. any advice on finding original replacement parts?
Most of the parts available are with with restoration companies . Still a lot of new OEM parts available, but shrinking by the day. Lots of new and used parts on Ebay. These cars are starting to get popular and collectible, so parts will be harder to come by in say 5 years.
2.5k? SUPER bargain.... I am about to spend a little less than 13k plus shipping for a 96.....but it is a convertible with a 6 speed and less than 70k miles with a clean record.
I love this car my dream car
This video makes me me regret walking away from a 1999 Camaro Z28😩 The car drive and handle great 0-60 in 6 sec
Yeah that was stupid 🤣🤣🤣 especially if it had under 110k miles
Never too late to get another one! I have a 02 SS with mods on my channel as well
Its the perfect project!
I have a 02 SS with a bunch of mods as well on my channel you might like it!
Definitely a 2.73 gear car..... on the shifter it doesn’t have a 1 2 D OD starts at 2 D OD with the performance axle it would have 3.23 gears with the 1 on the shifter ....your RPO code sticker is missing it sounds like ...☹️in the G codes yours will say GU2 which equals 2.73 axle ratio with a G80 code with it....G80 is limited slip differential GU5 is 3.23 gears ,and GU6 is 3.42 gears only offered in the 6 speed manual transmission ....I had a 1994 polo green no t-tops which I hate t-tops lol....I had cam,longtubes,52mm TB ,CAI.3.73 gears ,Vigilante 3200 stall converter MTI custom tune,I’m sure I missed a few mods lol..... I was running 12.4-12.7 @108-110mph 1/4 mile passes all day long with drag radials of course......great cars yours looks really good congrats 🎉🍾🎊🎈 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing!
I bought this year my sons 1995 camaro Z28 and if you respond we can work together.
Well compared to how fast cars are now. Perhaps a vanity plate that reads SLOWASF..LOLzzzzzzz or FUNLT1 or NOLS1.
I have a full set of Xamaro rims with center caps...tires suck but the rims are clean...
I just bought a 95 v6 camaro manual camaro. runs good inside is alright body is awesome no dings needs paint still looks bad ass for 250. Is there anyone out there who can tell me what motors can go into this car and what I would need to change thank you
Nice I have one too but in blu
Cool! Is yours a ‘95?
Reynolds Rides yea I think so
You got a great deal at $2,500. Especially with all of that work recently completed.
I agree!
Nice car for the money......myself i would have held out for a LS powered 4th gen.....better aftermarket support and better updated interior ......
How about that right front rim that’s damaged
I replaced it: ruclips.net/video/hqgeZ2XgIfE/видео.html.
Love the car
Thats my dream car
👍
I am trying to find a obd 1 scanner to scan the computer but it is very hard if not impossible, I have checked google , the internet and I have only found 1 but it is also for obd 2 . Not sure if it will work .
I did find a shop that had a scanner that could scan my 1995 camaro z28 it is from snap on
Its actually sort of OBD 1 5 on the 95. OBD 1 codes and but an OBD 2 connector. A really bastard year for OBD. Cannot just jumper and count SES flashes either.
@@chrisbrzon3917 yeah I found that out
Yeah GM Chevrolet that was definitely a bad move , stupid if you ask me
2500k? That car would go for 5k easily up here in Mass.
💵 😉
@@ReynoldsRides you scored a great deal. I been looking out west and mid west and its definently cheaper out there.
Well 2 years later looking to trade in my V6 camaro in for a z28 with a manual transmission and t-tops. wish me luck.
it won't shift into 1 manual because of noise requirements. if you look at the shifter there's a plastic block stopping the shifter from going into 1. cut it off and it'll go into 1.
2500 was a great buy
this is my dream car
👍
I have same car ,, but 6 speed manual 350 convrtable
I wish mine was a manual but it’s still fun.👊
Mine has 84k miles 😀 how do I send a pic?
I have a 93 Z-28. Same colors, hardtop. Bought it used for 4,000
Call it Red Rydr
