I bought this 1967 Camaro for a deal in hopes of getting it running and driving and back on the road. The previous owner said it did not run and said he tried a bunch of things to get it going again but had no luck. It needs a ton of rust repair and it needs everything mechanically but i love these cars and this one deserves a second chance at life. Will it run and drive? Watch as i do a revival on this rusty Chevy Camaro. If you like the video please consider subscribing to the channel and dropping a like below, it really does help the channel grow. Thank you for watching.

This was good, you cracked me up explaining things and then the drive. The looks you made. Subtle things you did to bring comedy to the video. So you deserve a subscribe, I'll watch more of your videos now. Thanks!

@americannostalgiagarage Год назад
Hahahaha. Thanks for the compliment and for subscribing. I’m glad to hear you got a kick out of it. I have to say, after all the editing to get these videos down to a manageable length I usually end up cutting out a lot more of me making faces and laughing at myself for screwing something up. I could probably make an entirely new video on bloopers alone. Thanks again!

@@americannostalgiagarage I'm an old time back yard mechanic, I'm 68 now so I have had cars like this as daily drivers. I used to buy and sell cheap cars in the early 70's before I went Army. Now I'm retired and bought a 68 Chevy Impala that I am restoring back to health. This will bee my last car I buy, I will drive it until my life is over. I've owned over 100 cars so going back in time is fun. Take care

It is what it is! I have owned a '67 SS350 convertible for 48 years and it is a rust free Va car because I meticulously maintained it! I was also in the USCG in the 70s and noticed the sticker on the front bumper, I mention this because I drove my Camaro 200 miles in 2.5 hrs and did not even carry a spare! I have over 200,000 miles on the original drive train, eceptions: rebuilt 350 in '78 and went through the muncie once! Also put a 4.11 posi out back! Car even has original ball joints(grease 'em)! Had to replace radiator last year with an aluminum one found on ebay for 120 bucks! Also own '87 Buick GN bought new in' '88! Have a '68 Mercury Cougar wife's brother bought new in '68! 428 Cobra Jet with ram air, C6, posi 3,51! I love these old classic cars!

I’m also in the process of learning/ repairing a 71 elco. Would love to learn more about the timing/distributor/coil process. Everything else seems to be simpler. Fuel, air, compression, spark. I subscribed also btw. Chevy fan, tryna learn more. Like how do u tell timing is off by listening?
@americannostalgiagarage
@americannostalgiagarage Год назад
Telling if a car is off by ear is usually pretty easy once you’ve gotten comfortable with how the car is supposed to run. But being able to tell whether it’s timing or fueling can be a little more tricky and comes with more experience. Stick with it and learn as much as you can you’ll be a tuning wizard in no time.
