Real car guys know better than to put their hands all over someone else's car
true, but not at an auction
@@americandreamgarage3054 but not random touching as you display
@@americandreamgarage3054 Auction or not, no need to put hands on them.
I don't even do it to my own car. Paint is to look at not touch.
Why's he putting his paws all over the cars I'd be pissed if they were mine
Thanks for the comment, have gotten this before. When you consign a car to an auction, potential buyers are going to want to touch every inch of a car to inspect.
@@americandreamgarage3054 A potential buyer doesn't need to casually put hands on it to inspect it. Inspection is a whole different thing.
My 1968 Z/28, all numbers match, I paid $3,000. In 1976...miss it bad. Looked for Mach 1 stangs, on weekends. FUN TIMES.
watch episode #2
I had a chance to buy a really nice 1st gen (not a Z/28) in the late 80s for the princely sum of $3500. I passed, I was 19 and had the money but wanted something that would get good fuel mileage. Been regretting that one for a while.
Ya know what folks….I don’t think a perfect Z exists anymore , but maybe . I gotta say I’d sure have appreciated finding anyone of them in the garage on Christmas morning ! Ha why stop there I’d really loved finding a 69 w/ the ZL-1 option !!!
Good luck there’s under 20 survivors left. Got a lot of photos of one from Barrett Jackson Scottsdale 2012
Many things on restored cars are not authentic. Not one "restored" '69 Camaro ever has 307 emblems on them, do they? But I remember that most of them were exactly that. My whole suspicion about that green car, judging by seeing the interior, is that it was probably an original RS 307 or RS 350, made to look like a Z28 in every other way. You can change or re-do ANYTHING in a half-century!
Beautiful love it
Thank you! 😊
I liked the silver Z that was a really nice car! I have owned a Lemans Blue RS/Z & a Green RS/Z like yours. However for me the most desirable color is either Daytona Yellow RS/Z or Cortez Silver RS/Z! If I was in the market those would be the two that would interest me the most!
Yellow is my favorite color
My cars a 68 RS/SS matching numbers 350 with Muncie 110k original miles. I’m the third owner had mid 70k miles when I got it.
very nice, originality trumps restored everytime.
A car is worth what ever a person is willing to pay for it.
But if I really like something, I'll pay nearly anything for it.
I don't try to screw or make a deal on everything I buy.
Hold on a minute, Your Z is a Rally Sport. A hard to find option on a Z28. It makes it worth a lot more!
I know it is probably a 20% kicker
A car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.. put it in an auction and you may get more for it or you may get way less than you expect.
Those big 10% commissions drives the price up across the board in the private sector
actually 20% its 10% for buyer and seller
And TV auctions have driven prices up beyond the affordability of the average enthusiast. Every yahoo with a rusted out 1967 base model 327 Camaro now thinks their car is worth $50K+
I’ve got the same car but it’s from Maisto 1/18 scale model car as I can’t buy it now in real life lol.
I have the same model
You would really have to get into the meat of these cars to put a real value on them for those that really know what they are looking at. Just a quick glance at the green one I can tell you the rear stripes are not correct for a non vinyl top car so it's going to require some expensive paint work to correct. Exhaust is incorrect. Really need to see trim tags and the production date is important to at least verify build time frames to know if things are correct for the car, like the ZL1 hood and spoilers for instance. The first blue car is missing some of the style trim outside (drip rails) yet has the quarter gills and wheel well trim. Like it can't decide if it wants to be an X77 or an X33. The 302 emblems on the hood are in the wrong spot, telling me it's probably an add on ZL2 setup and another clue to that is the fact that it has the early 68 spoiler which is an early production tell tale, telling me it's likely the car was built before the ZL2 hood was even available. Again need to see the trim tag. Second blue car is the same way with the style trim, Some of it there and missing drip rails, but has non style trim tail lights so it's likely an X77. Both of them have the wrong master cylinder. The green and blue cars don't have correct tires either. I wouldn't call the first 3 high end restorations but very nice quality drivers.
The silver Z we know production date thanks to the serial number, and it's too early to have the ZL2 hood so that was added, also the wrong rear spoiler, it should be the 68 style, so it's likely been added and not a real factory spoiler car. This one at least made an attempt at tires but still wrong, they should be Wide Tread GT's in E-70's, not Polyglass. All these things and likely more would be pointed out on Jerry's report if you look at the important pages. They will hurt resale value. You really have to see these cars in person to determine value and get down to the details. These reasons are why prices are all over the place on these cars and likely why the first 2 blue ones were a no sale. The silver one missed the mark likely for the things I mentioned incorrect on the car, and that's just what I saw in the video.
A really good 69 Z, born with drivetrain, and with it's real trim tag, a very correct restoration and true to it's build date can fetch 6 figures very easily. Those are the ones that rarely come up for sale but when they do, buyers know it and the prices reflect that.
Wow you know your stuff I will have to come back and review this
@@jeffsiebels7082 Well I'm no expert but I've been around these cars a long time and learned from people who are.
You're correct, many things are not authentic on those cars. They can change or re-do ANYTHING in a half-century! Most people would never know.
What do you mean by 2 plus? Is that a grading system? And what is the maximum?
Many car value guides but mainly Hagerty use a 1 to 5 scale, with a 1 being Concours, or better than new with everything being perfect down to every nut and bolt. When I say 2+ or 1 - im saying it is falling in between those numbers. With only a 5 number scale there is a lot of space in between. A 2+/1- is a fresh restoration which looks perfect but there are things are not done correctly, or there are some signs of use.
@@americandreamgarage3054 I figured it was a 1 through 5 grading system, but I didn't think 1 would've been the best. Very interesting. Good thing to know. Thank you.
The second blue Z/28 is missing the stainless trim that goes on the drip rails which it should have since it has the stainless trim wheel well rear quarter panel mouldings !
It should have the trim around the headlight bezels and between the taillight lenses too. I'm thinking it's not a style trim car and someone added the trim. Blue car #1 has the stripes all wrong and the Z/28 badges in the wrong spot.
its good to see detailed expertise in action. I will be doing a video soon comparing my 6 z28's 69. 70, 73, 74, 81,84
Those moldings and chrome trim are part of the Style Trim Group. An RPO option. An X33 Z28 no style trim, an X77 has style trim.
Yea beautiful cars !!! Now I’ve got to ask you why in hell are you leaning on the cars ? You are seen in the video leaning on the cars . And holding a drink ! No respect !
Fair comment, although I know what can scratch a car belt buckles, snaps, zippers etc. Believe me I respect the cars I look at but I'm around enough cars to know what can damage them
@@americandreamgarage3054 If I am selling a car and some yahoo puts fingerprints all over it, (which lowers the presentation of it) I would not be happy. You might be around a lot of cars, but that does not mean you know how to act around them.
@@americandreamgarage3054 and your metal ring cant scratch , yea right just a rich knob. you have no respect to be leaning on someones pride and joy .
Yep saw a ring on your finger
One of my neighbors needed a stove pipe cut. Said his friend down the street has a shop so I could cut it for him.
In the shop sitting all dusty is an original 68 Z28. Tires are flat. Car been sitting 40 years.
I like Ford's so I'm not really interested. I'm not a flipper. Her grandkids don't want the car.
still should buy it
@@americandreamgarage3054 I have a cherry 69 mustang 🐎 for sale.
Once I sell the car, I'll have room for it.
Wrong exhaust on the first Z28 on the lift at the start of the video.
I know needs to be replaced and it is toooo loud
The silver one does not have tall bumper guards in the back all The Z28 from 1967 to 1969 Originally had them. But this car has the short ones.
maybe it was a real good clone
This guy has to put his hands on ite. Every chance he can holding sticky cup
Absolutely, the small details make a huge difference !
do you know why the Z's had those tall guards? There was a reason for them.
@@Boobtube. because the Z/28s were the only Camaros that came with 15" wheels and their suspensions were also different which caused the height of the bumper to be out of federal safety specifications thus the need for the taller bumper guards !
The green z has the wrong steering wheel.
not uncommon but easy to change
Really, touching and leaning on someone else’s car?
If your looking for good deal shop private owners... Auctions are like dealerships... Overpriced!!!
