I would say it’s likely a real SS. All 73 Super Sports had the tail panel painted black like that. The 74 bumper on the front would drive me nuts, but it’s a beautiful car with the perfect stance.
Wow , nice . I had a 74 LT type z28 also . Mine was almost exactly like that . Mine was 4speed , L82 , non ac . Had it for 23 years . Bought it with new brown paint , which I didn't like . Had it painted gm red , looked good . Mine was originally a sand gold , which would have looked better than brown .
As the other poster said, and I too love the 74 Z28. Its too bad this was an A/C car......my brother had a 74 Z also, and it had a 3.73 rear gear in it, sweet car. Not sure if this one was a true radio delete or just had the plate installed. This one is not correct because it has the emblems on the fender WITH the hood stripe. If you had the hood stripe, you did not get the fender emblems. I still like it.
I was there when the car came out in 74 and the opinion was the same, ugly bumpers. It was a hurry job by GM to meet the 5 MPH bumper government mandate.
Just bought a 2007 Shelby GT 500, red with white stripes, with 22 miles. It's very difficult to drive it! As in putting miles on it! You got a nice car!
I'm not Mormon and don't agree with the church, but this is a beautiful commercial with a beautiful message. Honestly I'd love to see more religions focus on campaigns like this rather than some of the icky political stuff they get up to. This is a timeless message that resonates with virtually everyone. Look how many people here remembered this commercial even decades later and spent time searching for it. That should tell you something.
You mistakenly said it’s a TBI engine (throttle body injection) it’s really a TPI (tuned port injection). Big difference. Very nice car by the way. Thanks for sharing.
In 1987 you could not get t-tops with a 350, you had to get the 305. If you wanted a 350 you got a hardtop. This changed in 88 or 89, but in '87 they were worried the car wouldn't be rigid enough for the extra torque. 350 was also only available with an automatic. If you wanted a manual you had to get a 305.
@@shawnwhite2572 It was %100 stock. Maybe Chevy held off on that combo til later in the production year, idk. But I’ve owned the 87, an 88 and an 89. I knew all those cars pretty well. I also clearly remember the 87’s with the 5.7 and T’s back in the day. The only thing you couldn’t ever get was a 5sp with the 350. Then, in the later years…90/91-92 the factory stopped making them with t tops. But I’m a previous owner and they’re out there.
I believe t-tops were available with the 350 throughout. I do remember though in the fall of 88 my brother and I sitting at the dealer while he ordered his new 89 IROC. The standard gear ratio was 2.77 and to get the same 3.27 that was previously standard for 87 you had to order the G92 Performance Axle Package and this option according to the dealer who was sitting there at the computer, could not be ordered with t-tops on the 350. Don't know if this was a temporary glitch or the way it was for that period of time. I do know if you ordered G92 without air conditioning then that triggered some extra equipment to be installed and you ended up with a 1LE car and don't believe t-tops were available on that car. Some have said they don't remember this restriction but that's just what I remember. He wanted the t-tops and wasn't much into speed so the 2.77 didn't bother him and the car was definitely built and delivered with the 2.77 and his beloved t-tops. 😀
@@shawnwhite2572WRONG! You could get a 1987 Iroc-Z With T-Tops and a L98 350, I purchased mine from the original owner 28 years ago with full documentation that it was from GM, bet EVERY last dime I have! I still own the car … want to see the factory broadcast sheet from Norwood OH ?
I owned a Capri with that same color. It was a Cologne V6 with 4 speed manual. Can't remember who I sold it to as I ordered a '76 Capri that was a hatchback.
gorgeous...they didn't scrimp on style even on the compacts. Not sure what all came with the western sport special package. Not sure Californians would know what a Dahdge Daht would be either...must be the export version of the Dodge Dart
Interesting car but you keep saying all original car and yet it has been repainted and the motor rebuilt, and the top possibly replaced, and the carpet and armrest replaced and not even dyed to the correct color. And the A/C no longer functions, so it is not an "all original " car it is mostly original in appearance but not a survivor.
If it had been a Western Mass. Sport Special it would just be a pile of rust by now. I had a '69 Swinger with 170 slant six and 3-on-the-tree in the late 70s that I bought for $495. Not exactly a chick magnet; I should've had a Celica or similar, but I loved it. Same seats - they were in bad shape when I got the car in '76. Steering wheel was already cracked then - had a wrapper similar to this specimen.
That's pretty, nice survivor!!! Preserve it just as it is as much you can. I notice, and I could be wrong, but the three pointed Dodge emblems on the sides of the roof look upside down to me. Do you know if the vinyl roof was redone at some point, or mistake from the factory? BTW, you did not have to mention, or see the license plate to know you are from Maine, lol. Did I say license plate, or "numbaa plate", I am originally from Mass, so it sounds like home to me, thanks for the vid.
I had a Plymouth 'Scamp' a '73 (I think?) it was brown, and had the 'canopy' top, a sort of peanut butter color! I thought the 'Scamps' (just a first cousin to the Dodge Dart 'Swinger') all had bigger engines, but mine was a slant six car. I gave it to a friend, and she drove it for about 5 years.
I could loose any cop car in this, on the Southern Oregon coast. Stock. I have, actually, no cop car could keep up through the streets of Port Orford, Sixes River Road, China Mountain, Humbug Mountain S turns. I had one, with Stahlflex P205 60s. This car corners way better than it looks like it should, with rear air shocks. The 2.8L V6 was robust. Definitely a sporty car, tons of fun. Merkur Capri, made in West Germany. Tight tolerances. Mine, in 1984, 10 years old, would pop your ears when closing the door. So I kept 1 rear pop open window slightly open to avoid ear pops. That is how tight the then West Germans did it. Gorgeous car. My favourite car ever.
Agree, first ride in one of these I was impressed . At 75 it would swap lanes on the fwy way better than expected. Solid lifter 6 was seamless loved it Lotta guys raced those back in the day
@@Platos-Den it's reliable! The original factory clutch isn't, had it replaced under a TSB @16k miles. Way more fun than a New Edge and 6.0L GTO for sure. I have had both 3.8L & 4.6L New Edges for combined 12 years. GTO 12 years. Purchase GT500 in Feb 2011 for $36k with 15k miles, now @ 49k miles.
I adored this commercial growing up! Hard to believe that baby is probably 43 now and experienced all of the things in the commercial.

Hi there yes it is a rare car. If I’m not mistaken it’s a 1le option.

May be an early 2008
Thanks, you have some cool stuff!

The bumpers are hideous, but not bad. Are you selling it?
Bumpers are fine, amazing that Chevy was able to keep this style bumper going in the first place with the federal regulations.
All cars where forced to replace bumpers with park benches in 74
@@kingjames1586 Yeah but at least these were metal finished
Believe the bumpers are actually anodized aluminum and they've grown on me over the years, I like these "bumper" Camaros.
I was there when the car came out in 74 and the opinion was the same, ugly bumpers. It was a hurry job by GM to meet the 5 MPH bumper government mandate.
Great Corvette 454
Very rare has L-82 350 (2.02) heads 1 year only body style
I love the ‘74 Z28. It’s so under-appreciated as a lone year body style Z28.
I had one just like this in high school in the early 80’s. Same engine and color. I sure wish I still had it
my 74 was baby blue with a white Landau top. Boy I miss it.😢
Just bought a 2007 Shelby GT 500, red with white stripes, with 22 miles. It's very difficult to drive it! As in putting miles on it! You got a nice car!
Who is the actress in the commercial.. she is wonderful
ANY body shop can "fake" a car !! .... no documentation - no deal !! .... end of story !! .... (mike drop)
May of got hit in the front at some point, hood line to bumper cover is way off,base interior,clean car though

I have pretty much the same car but screaming chicken flavor. It's an 88 formula 350 in medium maui blue
Looks like it's in pretty good shape for an 87 I have the 87 Firebird t-top
owned 3 different capris. Loved each one.
YES,GREAT CAR
AWESOME CAR¡!!!!¡!
I have the same car. My dad bought it brand new in Seattle, WA. Mine now -it is ALL original also. ❤
Had a ‘79 turbo car for years, but mine was a notch and only a Gaia, not Cobra. Man, oh man I miss her.

If you ever wish to let this car go, please reach out. She will have a good home.
had a 90 with silver and yellow pin stripes, grey interior, 350 tpi and bose stereo.
First question, where are you located, what size of engine, and how much are you asking for it, thank you
Well how much?
I had a 1973 in 1976 with a 2600 V6 and a 4bbl carb, duel exhaust with hush thrush muffler and a 4speed . Drove awesome , sounded sweet.
