I got a model kit at 11 or so and it was a 1970 1/2 Ballwin Motion Camaro. I have wanted one and has been my dream car ever since. I had a chance to buy a 73 20 years ago for 2500$, but I needed something reliable to get back and forth to work. I will own a second gen one of these days. It is going to be cool watching this build, congrats man.
American rust progression is a good color It ’s good that the climate is dry. Due to the warm and humid climate in Japan, the body is full of holes Affects the frame
Man out here $1500 got me rotted out 78 Trans Am WS6 that was only good for parts. At least it came with a 79 Trans Am in a little better shape but it had no vin or title. That’s a good find right there brother, I’d be half tempted to keep that patina! Aside from on the grill, fiberglass never looks good patinad lol
Thank you! Same here - had to take some time away from it with everything going on in the world. Looking to get started back in the next few weeks. Sorry to keep you waiting
That’s a very solid car. Here in upstate New York we don’t find them like that. I like split bumper Camaro’s. I would like to have a split bumper rally sport
Man I love the patina. Look good with a clear coat running it this way really shows off the craftsmanship of older cars. Newer vehicles are disposable. Sad really
Little brother....there are enough of us old “Bow Tie” guys around to help you walk through this. Clean it up, assess, engine running, assess, transmission, assess. See what I mean? Stop at each stage of the restoration and see where you’re at. One guy already commented on steps to be taken. He’s right on target! How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Reach out and ask questions. I’ve subscribed , and will follow the restoration. Free advice is yours for the asking! Great video, and looking forward to the next. Psst....there may be a 6 cylinder under the hood
@@scottwright388 I had to take a break, everything that could have possibly went bad happened this year - I’m finally getting back to normal. I’m hoping to get a channel update this weekend. No major progress but I at least want to let everyone know where I’m at.
@@sandiegorestorations877 it's been another 5 months and still no update. If you've abandoned this project, you should consider contacting Vice grip garage UA-cam channel. This car is perfect for him.
The mirror don't look broken to me. The glue holding them on dries out after a while and the mirror drops off. I had one land in my lap once while driving. It scared the crap out of me at first because it was dark in the car and I couldn't see what happened right away. What ever you do, don't use a crazy glue to attach it back to the glass. After gluing mine back on, a crazy girlfriend pulled the mirror off one day in anger and the mounting plate took a layer of glass with it. lol Nice car BTW, the early Gen 2s are my favorites!
that front bumper set up is so cool . gotta love how they can never make the old cars anymore , wont pass regulation . And they weigh like 25% less than the new cars
I love those split bumper RS Camaro's the lines where that rust hole was is where the 1/4 panel meets the roof if it had a vinyl roof the factory usually did not much to hide the seam because the roof would cover it
Wow! $1000 for a 70-73 Camaro? That's an insane bargain! These cars have seriously shot up in value these past few years. You restore that nice and pretty and you're sitting on gold, my friend. So long as that dirt & the vinyl top haven't rotted too much of the metal away, of course.
Just 1000 dollars 😱, that’s an amazing deal. I had to buy mine for 2500. Mines just a plane Jane 73 that has been recked in the back. Looks really sturdy, I’ll stay tuned on your restoration!
Congratulations on an excellent find ! The body looks really straight too . If all that needs to be repaired is the upper quarter where it joins the roof , not too bad . The rear wheel well arches looked good but so does the front as well . I thought that in 1970 the semi front bumpers were banned so in 1971 full front bumpers were installed . That killed the look so I'm glad you found this Camaro in factory build . Hoping for the best for you with the entire restoration . You've got an excellent start and will certainly be a plus to keep the imitative going strong . Wishing you the best of luck . If you get stuck on things when trying to get it running , I guess us subscribers will try to get you through . Too bad I'm so far away ( New York ) or I would get a wrench on it . I think your capable but may just need a tip or two . Guess we will see what we can do . Best of luck and looking forward to seeing you cruising it soonest . Greg .
The semi front bumpers are part of the RS (Rally Sport) option which was available till 1973. Is this a true RS - TBD? In 1973 they put over-riders on the full bumper cars. I think they reinforced the RS front end because they managed to avoid going to the I-beam bumpers common to most 1973s when the new bumper regulations came into effect.
Good luck with your RS. Great car. I have two 70's in progress, one RS one standard. Hope to follow along with your progress. Lots of help out there to look for. Double R Restorations is a good YT site.
Idaho 2nd Gens thanks! Two at one time must be a lot of work. Hopefully I’ll get the next video up by the end of this weekend I made a little progress already but nothing too crazy.
I hade a 1973 Camaro My first girlfriend gave it to me We loved that car Good luck with the resting on that car Don't pout too much money into it that takes the fun right out of it.
Saw a glimpse of a 72-78 GMC motorhome, a very collectible vehicle that parts are still highly available. Applied GMC in California has every part a person would ever need to restore one.
Body wise I'd say you got a good car to start with, the only question being the condition of the floors since the car looked like the floor was down against the dirt/mud underneath it. A good car to learn on: mechanical and body work. Most of both you can learn from youtube videos. If you screw it up you just go back and fix it or start over. The trick is taking your time to do things as best as you possibly can and don't use cheap products, like paint or patch panels as well as mechanical parts. If you do you're wasting your labor. You don't have to buy the very very best of everything that costs a fortune but spend a little money and you can get some quality supplies from solid companies. Good luck and have fun!
The last date I can make out on the registration stickers on the rear license plate is 1994. That would mean it's long out of the DMV's system. But as a California license plate expert, I can tell you these plates are original to the car! 1971 was the third year of the famous California blue plates, and the letter sequence started with "C" (like it does in "729 CAY"). The good news is that you can actually register these plates to the Camaro by using the DMV's YOM program.
You have no idea how happy I am to read this - I waited in line for almost 2 hours a few months ago to tell me I couldn’t do it. I was just about to register the car in Vermont! Thank you so much!
@@sandiegorestorations877 No worries! Send me an email at contactshervin(at)gmail(dot)com, and I'll run you through the steps to the best of my knowledge! :)
NESherv That’s all you do? Fill out the YOM form? I’m in the process of doing tha for my 1972 C10, which DMV in San Diego do you recommend going to, I went to the one in San Ysidro by the 905 and the lady did not know what YOM was and wouldn’t even bader to ask and flat out told me NO.
wrong key for the door. the round ones are most of the time, used for the doors. love this car!!!!!!!!! had a 70 of this type and i just bought a 71 for my next effort. peace
Awesome find, that car is almost mint compare to the MN cars here especially for a thousand bucks, love Camaros myself, had 2 in the mid 90s, 78, 79. Just love the body styles,
Great find at a great price. The body appears to be in very good condition -- surface rust like that is nothing. Hopefully the floor is good. You'll basically have to replace the whole interior as the western sun destroys them. Will check out the follow up video(s).
i know i'm late to your build series, but after watching this first episode , it reminded me of a project car the channel Power Nation, Muscle cars did on a 71 camaro that they took from a base split bumper car to restored bigblock 4-speed car, what made me think about it was i think your second episode when you opened the door to yours and i think they are the same co;or. can't wait to watch more.
I'd have to see the frame before I'd buy it. You guys don't even know how lucky you are out west. Surface rust. LOL our cars rust in half here in the East.
Yeah I just bought a numbers matching 72 Charger Special Edition that was left abandoned, sunk in a backyard for the last 20 years here in Michigan. I basically had to buy it without really inspecting it because of all the people trying to buy it. All my worries about the condition came true haha! It's now being completely rebuilt which wasn't the original plan lol. Most people would just part it out, but I'm going to save it! It's getting a whole new unibody frame, including the inner rockers and the crossmember sections. All new flooring from the firewall to the rear. All new suspension, front and back. All new brake system, front and back. Same with the fuel system, and other things. Apart from sheet metal and frame stuff, there's actually a lot of good to this car still, thankfully. The door panels, top and bottom, as well as the rear side panels, are in perfect condition. So is the rear seat. The passenger bucket seat is almost perfect, and the driver's seat isn't great. The original engine also looks brand new inside, which was surprising! This car was very well/highly optioned! It'll be worth it when it's done!
Awesome find, the RS nose is probably worth a good part of what you paid for the whole car I would think. If a car had been sitting that long where I live the ground moisture would've eaten everything underneath. It would have broken in half when the guy loaded it onto the roll-back. You found yourself a nice piece IMO
I know by now you’re in but literally get a screwdriver, pry it into top of window, pull back with both hands gently while someone reaches in and unlocks. Used town one and so east to get in without keys. Beautiful car, one of the prettiest f body models
It’s nearly complete don’t sweat it’s appearance for 1k bucks. Go through everything mechanical starting with checking to see if the engine turns, if it’s locked up find another and toss it in there and keep moving forward. Man if I found that I have enough Chevy junk laying around I’d have it driving down the road in a week just the way it looks too 😂. Of course I’d vacuum it out and throw seat covers on it but you get the point
Got ur self a winner Good luck take ur time with it my Dad had a 72 ralley sport Camaro Congratulations on ur antique a 💎 piece u better not get rid of that period I'll have the motor and Transmission rebuilt from scratch new carburetor restore it don't half step with it want to see it when it's done

Wow great deal $1000.00............ that's a steal! :)
RS split bumper for 1K, you scored, I bought a 71 for $500 30 years ago. Can’t find those deals anymore.
That car is unmolested, it even has the fiberglass radials from the early 70's .It would be interesting to know how long ago it was parked.
Hey Scott! The car has been sitting since 1992, the previous owner said it would only go in reverse.
Little bites is the key. Get it started, then running good, then stopping, then driving.
Man I love the patina.
Look good with a clear coat running it this way really shows off the craftsmanship of older cars.
Newer vehicles are disposable.
Sad really
Fair play to the flatbed driver, he did a great job of dropping it without any damage.

That was ignition key you had. Door has another key that is round head.
Not on a 71 GM. Door and ignition key is square, round is glove box and trunk. In 72 they changed it, the square key only operates the ignition.
I didn't know that.... was it the same from 69 to 71 and changed 72 up?
I have a 1970 and the square key is for ignition and doors
kyle mraz smh they are so proud of the oval heads 😂

Lucky kid you are!!
How wealthy do your grandparents have to be to buy you a 50k car. I'm not hating or anything, but you are a lucky son of a bitch(still no hate)
Wyatt Camacho they probably bought it way back when and owned it gave it to him, either that or very upper class indeed.
Definitely not upperclass
Kavin Keenom how’d you get the car?
Oh I’m definitely looking forward to keeping up with this story!! I used to have a ‘77 & I still love these cars.

You're saving more than $1k in body work alone. Body looks damn good.
