Rebuilding An Abandoned Chevy Camaro Z28 1LE Race Car In 2 Days 

we built 2 cars, #70 and #90 I won the SCCA world Challenge championship in 91 and 92 in these camaro race cars. We also finished 1-2 in the 24 hour of Mosport in Canada in the SCCA world Challenge series. these cars both have 100% of our innovations that we designed for the Camaro Market with LG Motorsports.

Dang that thing looks like a lot of fun! Glad you’re bringing it back from the dead and are putting it to good use! And making money for a great charity!!!

Thanks Jared we actually got to see a project finish this year.

Love Jared being in the show.. Such a cool and fun guy

Tavarish: get me the fire extinguisher, little does he know he’s in the most reliable car he owns

Has 2 lifts. Puts car on jack stands to work under it.

This is my favorite build so far. Just an old school, bare bones, white knuckle beast of a car.

The “Old” Roadkill would have jumped at the chance! Show business ruined that chance. It would have been a killer colab and build.

I like Jared. He needs to be around more often. ;)

Best Tavarish video ever. Your friend Jared is pure gold. This video is so wholesome, I'm gonna miss that Camaro. I want one so bad but those didn't sell here in Argentina.

What an amazing car. New rule, when I say we should we do it. No more "should be oks!"

God DAMN Jared knows how to drive!

car: has Goodyear decals Freddy: puts Toyo tires on it

Jared is the guy you want to help with any build, especially for comic relief!

it's so ironic that the "safety" gas cans spill gas everywhere and are a pain to use

Love the for Jesse at the end RIP Jessy fastest woman on Earth

I definitely would have enjoyed seeing you do more with it, but you have plenty of projects, and at least you got that sweet burnout at the end!

All 3rd gen manual V8 were 305. The T5 trans was not rated for the torque output of the 350tpi engine, hence those are all 700R4 / 4L60e. 305s these years were available with a Tuned Port Injection (TPI) or Throttle body injection (TBI). Last Carb was 86/87 in the 305. I have a 86 Trans Am with the LG4 305 4bbl carb......well, it's a 355ci now but originally was 305.

Why can’t we third gen nuts ever find cool stuff like this? Lol. I love the video!

Luckily roadkill didn’t partner with tavarish otherwise they’d charge for viewing this video 🙄

Coolest car since the old beat up Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. Great video

I appreciate the ace ventura joke freddie 👍

jared feels like a nice guy and dont feel shy on the camera👍👍

Dude this is an amazing vehicle. Thank you for bringing it back to life

Out of all the videos I've watched of yours so far, this has been my favorite series. Getting that old champ back going after years of neglect was awesome, and I love that the care returned the favor for you guys

Jared and Tavarish's relationship is so pure 😻 I wanna be friends with them!

Thank you so much for Jessi memorial at the end, that means the world to me and all her fans and family!

It's not like I had anything planned tonight, but I guess I'm watching a one hour tavarish movie !

You dont have to worry about losing the key quite so much. That "chip" is actually just a resistor. They started putting them into Corvettes and Camaros in 1989 and called it VATS (vehicle anti theft system). Basically the ECU reads the resistance of the key and if the resistance is correct, the starter will engage. There were only 12 resistance values that were ever used and you can splice the correct value resistor into the wiring harness and the car will start without issue. There are charts to tell you which resistor values were used. I had a couple of these cars where the contacts in the ignition cylinder went bad. Splice in a resistor, and poof, the car starts every time you turn the key. In all I've owned 7 of these ranging from 1982 up to 2001 model years. Also, if that is the original motor, it will be a 305. GM never mated a 350 to the 5 speeds for two reasons. 1: A 350/5 speed combo would have almost been as fast a Corvette, which we know GM could never allow. 2: The clutches of that time period were rumored to be incapable of handling the torque from the 350 TPI motors over a longer period of time, so warranty replacements would have been required more frequently. Its almost a shame that car was gutted and raced. It's one of only 289 1LE's built in 1991 with the LB9 (305 TPI). The 1LE package was decent, but not a super car. Special baffled fuel tank with swinging fuel pickup to prevent starving in corners, aluminum drive shaft, AC delete, dual piston front aluminum calipers, 11.86 inch front rotors, and a factory "performance' exhaust which was good for 5 hp over the regular Z28 exhaust. What makes the 1LE so special now is the rarity of them, especially the 1988 and 1989 models as they had extremely low production numbers (only 4 made in 1988)

This is a dream to me, I've always loved these cars. My first car was a 91 model and I looked for years to find a 1le. Very very cool.

Where did you find Mr. Jared??? Man knows his stuff. What a pleasure to watch you two work. Nice superpower team up.👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿🔥👍🏿

"BE VERY CAREFUL!!" Dont break the car YOU just rebuilt!!!🤣🤣

When r y'all gonna put n some more laps with this sweet cararo guys I now this is old cause this is my 2nd r 3rd time watching it I so love this one fellers the video and the Camaro but do another video PLEASE of a track day with this awesome camaro she REALLY deserves it❗❗❗❗❗❗❗

Great episode, shout out Jared and STP.

That seat belt buckle mod for the window net was just… _chef’s kiss_

You should definitely race cleetus mcfarland in his dale truck! Once you get it running good!

Its always hilarious watching people try to catch the coolant in the catch pan😂😂😂

Shouldve changed the rent me sticker into Send Me

If I recall correctly, that "security chip" is actually a resistor, there is a pretty easy way to bypass it so you can have a normal key, or even a button start

REBUILT 5 CARS DOESNT KNOW HOW TO BLEED BRAKES O_o

1LE built by LG Motorsports after he left the "dark side" of racing Mustangs? SCORE! Jongbloed wheels & factory Double adjustable Koni shocks? Trick 1LE parts like driveshaft, baffled fuel tank & Brakes? Thats a STEAL at what you paid for it! I forgot! That should have a Torsen differential in it! TRICK PARTS!

I identify more with this project more than any other. Reasonable costs and effort to get it rolling. I love this car.

I bet the guy that sold it probably regrets it big time. Oh and don't forget the decals that's when cars really got a paint job instead of a rap..

Man, the very end really got me. Thanx Freddie and Jared. Great stuff. Great story. RIP Jessi Combs

I am a huge Camaro IrocZ fan My brother owned one, was a 5.0TPI with manual gearbox. Loved that car to hell, sadly he eventually sold it. He passed away at 36 years old and, hopefully in the future, Ill find a decent one as a summer car. Cheers. Love the channel.

I’ve never seen a man this much in to cars that doesn’t know how to bleed brakes

Jared needs to be on this channel full time. Tavarish knows almost nothing about cars, which is fine, but there should be a voice of reason with fact ie. jared

STP are the Grand daddies of motorsport ... awesome bunch!

Wow, THIS episode made me SMILE WIDE and I bet in the end of this day i´ll be still smiling!!!! TANK YOU SIR!!!

I’ve seen you turn many cars on this channel but this is the first car that I’ve seen that has a soul, a spirit: that thing wanted to live again and, by golly, it did. Tell Bruce never to fuck this car up - it’s one of the coolest cars you’ve ever done.

I love the Goodyear decals with Toyo tyres! :) Awesome video guys

It's nice to see an old machine get another chance at a bit of life. To see it on the track again is even better.

Jared should have gotten the car. You could tell he loved it.

They should turn “Rent me” into “Send Me”

I like how positive you two dudes are.

The banter between you guys is priceless! Great team

Yayy Jared! You guys are make an awesome duo

The Camaro is one of my favorite cars, I own a 2014 and love it! This was an awesome find and build.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Tavarish acting as if he doesn't know how brake bleeding works is so beautiful.... It's for Jared to explain the science behind it... Niiiice

That car looks fun to drive. Glad you revived it and putting it to great use.

brake light: works* Tavarish: WE GOT OURSELVES A CAR!

A.C. (alternating current) is able to be monitored by it's fluctuations and be charged for. There was no way to monitor direct current as it only flows one direction. All your devices and appliances use DC components with converters built onto their boards or at the plug like phone chargers and such. It was also easier to move higher voltages safer, but make no mistake it was mainly because profit could be made that Westinghouse won the Battle of the Currents.

Replaced the dryrotten race tires before doing a drift or burnout??? I am disappoint.

i love watching cars with car history be saved and put back on the road

I thought all the 1LE factory racers had a swivel pickup in the fuel tank for cornering. That looked fixed. Anyway, great video, brought back memories from timing the SCCA cars at Pocono back in the '80s.

Jared deserves more exposure.

This video did my heart some good. I love seeing that old warhorse getting a second chance at glory. Great job!!!

It’s honestly super cool to see him sell it for what he has into it because he could’ve probably gotten around 10k maybe even more but props to tavarish and Jared

I just realized how much I miss my red T-top firebird from that era and my 87 Monte Carlo SS. Last year was my first year ever without a sports car

Says he drives like a pissed off teenager. Floors it and hauls ass on the track. Can fix it like the professional mechanic he is if something goes awry. Hell yeah man!

Fuel(gas pump,oil system) Air(intake) Spark(plug,battery,alternator) Timing(belt/chain) Compression(piston) *F.A.S.T. C.* good place to start for finding engine problems

This is awesome dude. Good to see you picking up where other people left off

"this car is a factory race car, it has special things like A/C delete" 9:30 *Maddened by the Florida heat, Jared performs an A/C Un-delete*

that cheapo oil fill cup is the best oil change tool I have gotten for changing oil in my bikes

Tavarish: "I'm not going to give it any power" Also Tavarish: "Wow! It can break the tires loose" 🤣

40:00 That's the part I like most about America: just take your race car, no license plate, no insurance I guess, no technical control - just drive it on the street. I think there's not many countires in the world you can do that.

measure the ohms on both sides of the key, you can order blanks with the same ohms...BOOM. I like this!

I just wish the first thing they do with an old car is slip on a mask and just blow the entire engine and everything else with an air compressor

Change the fuel filter a few times, trash in the tank, may need a higher pressure pump, you can change the pump without dropping the tank I think, I posted before the end and this will be a fun toy for someone

I don't think I'd be able to give this car away, but good to know it'll have a good home.

Why not just go ahead and make Jared a permanent part of this channel? Everyone loves him and he seems to love working with you

The only Reason I watch this videos is because of Jarod, I can tell he is a cool dude .

Jared is a good guy. Wish could have him to check and repair my car.

Can you please finish your other cars before starting new projects...!

Awesome video! Thanks for bringing an great car back to life! Jared is a car spirit animal now!

And this is the reason why gas eating muscle cars are the ultimate driving experience !! You should have ran the numbers on this car it looks to be a 350 car but also the rear end was worth the 1500 you paid for the car . Keep us posted on the life of this Camaro it's story is truly not over and mad respect for you donation to SB 💜 I would also like to know is the shop floor marble ?? or is it some kind of epoxy ?

Jared is a really cool guy✊ Good job finding this car Tavarish🤙

wuuhaaahahaha..tavarish!! man,you and Jared both makes my day at every videos .was browsing trough out your videography,and fell on this one i did not viewed before...man,i lol'ed a lot,and at the same time,you guys are great mechanics.Jared is so funny,and great in every aspect as mechanic......this race car got revived from the deads litterally,was one of the most fun automotive videos i'VE EVER SEEN.YOUR CHANNEL IS PROBABLY THE BEST AMONG ALL THE AUTOMOTIVE CHANNELS on youtube.keep going on guys,love everything you do.

oh good, I was worried jared wouldn't be in this one for a moment!!

Wish you would put your vids in a time recorded folder I always spend so much time trying to find out how many vids are in a series love your vids brother

I reallly love watching those kind of video i am self an car mechanic and i wanna already have an project too❤️

Man, sound of that engine doesn’t do justice thru vid. Probably sounds wayyy better in life

"That's a crispy o-ring!"

I say you guys clean the car up real nice, throw some new track wheels on it and redo a new livery ✊🏼👍🏼

Jared knows how to drive 👍🏾

made it 46 minutes in and had to take a break to play some iRacing sim with my Logitech g29 .. lol this episode made me wanna RACE!

3rd gen Camaros are the best. I love my 84 sportinetta (if you are wondering is a base 84 that I put an 84 berlinetta dash and power windows in cause comfort is king). Currently I'm working on my son's 91 rs.

I feel really bad for Jared. He really looks like he wishes he had bought this car and it was his. And if it was his he would totally share it with Freddy but since it's Freddy's he has to keep hearing "Don't break MYYYYYY car" and the poor guy feels like a stepchild barely allowed to play with anything. SMH 🤣🤣

That car is 1 of 62 made in 1990 if its a true 1LE.. pretty rare.

Is that Bentley welded to that lift? Never seen it move!
