They should have taken more style cues from the second gen Camaro. Please showcase more of these classics if you can, Joe.

@RaitisRides Год назад

You got it David! Stay tuned!

@garypeterson5630 Год назад

I owned this beautiful Z in forest green with white stripes. Nothing better sounding than the solid lifter cam and headers. Was a great walk down memory lane. Thanks

@stanleytaylorjr6710 Год назад

1970 Z28 came with 3:73 gears, 4:10 gears was optional also Muncie M-21 transmission was standard, the M-22 Rock Crusher transmission was optional.

@hillenuim Год назад

Definitely some more vintage vehicles. Seeing the physical gauges proves they are meant to age with the car artistically. Love the review, Joe. God bless you.

Not yet. I don’t think the ppl driving these cars back when they came out got any nostalgia from them either but who knows? I could be wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️

@justpray365 Год назад

@@justdoinit2378 I know I did. My first car, (in 1972), was a 1970 Dodge Charger with a 440 Six Pack. Every time I got in it, it felt special. Looking at how the gauges were arranged, the tactile feel of real buttons instead of an info screen. The raw unrefined feel of driving it. Opening the hood and knowing that you could easily do maintenance. I have a new Challenger Scat Pack with a Shaker hood, and while it feels good and will outrun the 70 Charger, it feels different. The 70 Charger was a “manly man” ruff around the edges machine. The new cars are so refined that they just drive you instead of you driving them. But I’m glad I got to experience what some call “muscle car 2.0.” And as I age, refined helps me continue to drive.

Please do more of these! I restored a 1969 Camaro SS when I was a kid with my dad and have been in love since then so this was awesome to watch!

@phantom0456 Год назад

The 1970 Z/28 is one of the most beautiful classic muscle cars, IMO, and the LT1 is a legendary engine. The RS appearance package with its bumperettes made the front end better looking as well, and I definitely prefer the Corvette inspired quad round taillights of the early second-gen F body Camaros. Great video, and I love the car.

@ph1sts 3 месяца назад

If I could design a 2025 Camaro, it would have a front clip similar to the first gen RS/SS hidden headlights, and a rear clip with round dual taillights of the early second gen.

Awsome man! My dad has a 1969 z/28 camaro and a 1969 convertible camaro and he will never ever sell it. Those kinds of cars is hard to find these days, and if you can find them they probably are all rotted and rusted out or some of them were restored. Keep up the great work!

Old cars have so much style. Yeah they're a little more crude but driving cars like this really make you respect the power they put out. Because new cars have so many electronic controls people are under the impression they are a good driver when in reality they aren't. If you can handle an old muscle car then you can handle a ton more. Great review Joe and team.

@theburg2220 Год назад

My buddy picked up a used on and took me for a ride it it...way back in 1980. I thought it was brutally fast and would lay a nice scratch in 3rd gear. I recall it was referred to a 70 1/2 model because it came out mid year. His was copper colored without the stripe. Mods back then were a set of Centerline Auto Drag wheels, Mickey Thompson S/S radials or some BFGs, Lakewood slapper traction bars, Hooker headers and a must is flipping over the air cleaner lid to get the nice induction sound when you opened up the 4 barrels on that carb. Can't forget the JVC tape deck, equalizer and some 6x9 Jensens in the back shelf! Let's go cruise the strip!

Have a great day, and continue to spike in some classic muscle cars.

@georgehill7881 Год назад

You are right : the M22 is the Rock Crusher ! And the M21 comes in either a close ratio or wide ratio version. At 15 years old, I went to work earning $1.00 per hour, and saved up $900. And at 17 years old, I bought a new 1969 Z28 for $3,700.

@2ndgendreamin779 8 месяцев назад

As the proud owner of three early 2nd gen Camaros, I'm happy to proclaim it one of the best looking muscle cars of all time. Something that doesn't get talked about a lot is how much better the 2nd gen handled over its predecessors. As much as I love the 1st generation, unless that front linkage has been modified and modernized, I'll take the sure road hugging feel of a 2nd gen any day. As for styling cues, search youtube for any number of videos on restomodded early 2nd gens...can't beat a modern powertrain and suspension when paired with a phenomenal chassis.
