    Right here is an absolute beast of a car. Powered by a 8.1L (496 C.I, 550hp) Vortec V8, this monster 1978 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 goes like hell. That engine paired to a massive 4-barrel carburetor and connected to the rear wheels through a 3-speed Hurst "Dual-Gate" automatic transmission, this Z28 gets out of its own way real quickly. The car has an extremely aggressive look, owing to the cowl hood that is required to fit such a massive engine under the hood. The rear window is protected by menacing-looking fins that protrude from the rear to give the car a more athletic feel. The burgundy paint is laid out wonderfully over a straight body, and the Z28 decals look great. The matching red and black cloth interior is very comfortable and very fitting for a car this powerful, as hinted by its under-dash SunPro gauges. Options on this beast of a Camaro include a 550hp V8, a Hurst "Dual-Gate" shifter, an updated AM/FM/Cassette radio, air conditioning, power steering, power brakes, under-dash SunPro gauges, and a dual exhaust system. The car rides on some mean-looking Cragar SS wheels on top of a great set of B.F. Goodrich RWL tires. This car looks like its already in motion, as if its waiting to jump into action at a moment's notice. This burgundy monster of a Camaro looks great, sounds great, and most importantly, it drives great. It is just waiting for the right person to put it back on the dragstrip!

    Nice. I see the comment below about lifting too soon but that guy knows when to get out of it. That's why you see all these videos of people crashing out on a burnout, they don't know when to get out of it they stay in it too long.

    Personally I don’t care what car it is when you are trying to sell a car I think you should show what it’s got and what it can do. Some may not agree but that’s the way I feel
    About it. At least show the balls that they have when you floor it wether that be from a stop or from like 20mph. That being said I enjoyed the video this is one mean camaro!

    Always liked the looks of that car, but as far as power, they were an embarrassment to the Z-28 nameplate. I helped a friend with a 400 small block build/install. .030" over, aluminum heads & intake, good carb and headers. It ran after that!

  • @bearthalamas9241
    @bearthalamas9241 Рік тому +1

    I use to have a 72 el camino with a 400, I had a buddy with a 6.6 trans am, and another friend with a camaro with a 454 shoved in it, and another buddy that had a 72 ranchero gt with a tricked out 351 Cleveland. The rancheros was the fastest out of the four, then my el camino, then the 6.6 TA, and the camaro was the slowest. The funny thing about it, the only car to ever beat the ranchero gt was a Volkswagen rabbit turbo from red light to red light. Lol.

    Is this a good first car?
    I'm 16,5 now and I'm about to start my license journey, since I was 12 this has been a dream car and when I started looking into it, I realized that they only go for about 10k which comparing to some of my other dream cars is crazy cheap and I've got 1,5 year to save up the money for it and well I just want to know if it's reliable. I know gpm isn't very good but well I'm only young once so I need to enjoy it while I can right? I would love to know your thoughts on this

  • @TTGTO288
    @TTGTO288 Рік тому

    Makes a lot of noise and doesn't go anywhere. Probably has the stock 10 bolt rear in it with leaf springs. That engine will tear that right out of the car. This one feels safe because it's not fast. Engine looks like a 454 stroked to a 496, NOT a modern truck 8.1 litre... Cheap job of just riveting on an L88 scoop instead of buying a hood. Makes you wonder what other corners got cut while they were building it.

  • @zAvAvAz
    @zAvAvAz Рік тому

    20,000 in receipts? 496 stroker? 575hp? quite possible maybe, just pay what it is worth and what it is worth to you, as cool as they are maybe they can give you a great,deal. the body and paint looks good and solid i am a paint & coatings specialist. 🙂
    you should know everything about the car you are buying. i am just jealous of this car for real although i do not covet it. i would like another 78 through 81 model the last year of the second generation camaro.
    Maple motors sold some of these around 30,000 to 40,000 you can find them between 20 & 40K built nice. i can build you a 67 bird or 2nd gen for that brand new with incredible quality and better items involved. the touches i like about the car shown are the gated shift and interior. i blue print engines and shall dyno it and give you real numbers and then we shall dyno the car also. And tune the car as an entire work horse package. i am willing to do it for no money except cost on account of things getting pricey for the average car, the wait shall be some time although well worth it and well worth the cost. My reputation is first.

    See this this bs. Several people have asked about the price with no response. I went to the website and no price u less your enter all your info in. This is why dealers that do this still have the cars. Guarantee if it was a 10-15k car and it was listed it would be gone but who knows because they have to play games and hide it. Sad that dealers do this. Most don’t
