- Bringing Home My 1973 Camaro Z28 BARN Find AND FULLY DETAILING It After 20 YEARS of SITTING!!
Adding my third and final car from my barn find vlog series, a 1973 Z28 Camaro! I do a complete detail including mold/mildew removal of the interior, multi-stage buff and wax process to restore/correct the paint and restore the chrome. Check out how well this paint and interior turn out!

I can’t believe how clean and complete that Z28 is. That is one hell of a barn find. Congrats!
John Smith Thanks John!
Don't be fooled by what you see. There is more than you are being led to believe about this being a barn find.
@@flycatchful he said it right in the video it's a barn find from the 80s or 90s, when it was painted, not original from the 70s. This car was probably restored once already. Whoever cleaned it up then drove it a while and then parked it.
@@penguin12902 imagine how nice it was when they parked it if the detail turned out this nice. Very nice car.
Kinda looks like its been resprayed at one point
Buy or rent whats called an ozone generator for the interior mold of the car. run it windows up for 1-2 days. should kill any remaining mold where you cant see / reach it behind the panels, inside the seat foam, etc.
Sajo Yeep! Have one on order👍👍
I used to detail cars for a living. We used an ozone generator to eliminate all manner of unpleasant aromas. They're pretty handy.
@@RyanSampsonRPh If you buy a commercial grade ozone generator do not run it for 1-2 days straight. It will destroy your interior.
@@zk9964 yeep more like 1-2 hours at most!
And what ever you do don't breath anything in the car while it's running. And have the air moving through the vents as well. It don't take days. Leave it run for a few hours.
Whoever painted it in the 90s did a fantastic job, maybe they actually did know what they were doing back then 😱
Whomever
Omg I was thinking the same-thing whoever did that paint job did a great job back in the 90s
Lacquer clear coat maybe?
Talking shit about the paint and that 30 year old paints looks better than some of the newer cars I see now.
The paint on my 91 z32 tt is flawless. Never repainted or had any touch ups. And the only rust spots were on the t tops.
This Camaro fell into the right hands, it was meant to be. Just GORGEOUS 😭
Lookin good!
I've got about 27 more cars that could use this....
Haha I follow your channel! I will provide free labor anytime lol keep up the great work
She’ll run..
@@RyanSampsonRPh he don't need it. He's got and experienced body man in house. Nice job. Be nice to find a car like that around here but it ain't gonna happen.
any for sale shoot me a email goingome1970@gmail.com in michigam

Only27, nice!
A true “Diamond in the Rough”!! Car looks amazing after your detailing. Would love to see a follow up video of it running.
Such a timeless body style I love 2nd gens
chris I agree!
Friendly tip: when using a pressure washer start at the top ie roof, trunk, and hood. So all of the sediment, dirt and dust goes with the flow of the water and gravity.
Or in other words Common Sense.
Another friendly tip: best to air blow away dirt, dust, leaves, and or any crap before apply any water.
GT 43 this man knows what he’s talking about
Drives me crazy when I see that too! Always start on top duhhh haha
Todd Henkelmon not always, Duhhhhhh hahahaha
It's crazy how "sitting 20 years" means it was only sitting since 2000. It wasn't even technically a classic yet. And a car that's as old as it was in 2000 is a 93
artificium Classic to me are 67 -71 Camaros. Those are classics to the millennials.
artificium Right? 2000 didn’t seem that long ago!
@@val13c59 67-73 Don't leave out 2 prime years for the Camaro!
The Antique Automobile Club of America (founded in 1935) considers a vehicle 25 years or older to be an antique
@@Prinsuxx yes you are right. Especially the 72 split bumber.
First of all sory for my inglish... Congrats for that car... One of my favorites of all times... I sart to follow you... Good luck with the proyect... From argentina lautaro
Hola che! un abrazo grandote. Nunca vi un Camaro todo mi tiempo viviendo allí. tengo un 1988 Camaro que era de mi papa. Vi muchos viejos Chevy II. Tenes un Camaro por allá?
The fact that you could have shown it at a car show afterwards is phenomenal!!! Super lucky to have find it with the paint like that!
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing transformation. Having detailed my own cars for close to 40 years now and having worked in a detail shop in the 80s, I can appreciate the amount of work you put into bring this classic back. Hours and hours of hard work. Well done. Beautiful car.
Supercruze Thank you!!
car is in good condition .no exterior rust or body damage . score
MAN WHAT A FIND!!! I NEED something like this in my life!!!
Man..its an honour to clean such beaut.i reckon the satisfaction feeling after job completed is indescribable
I always pull the seats when doing a first time bring home detail.
grizdeluxe I agree, In the works for a future task along woth the ozone generator👍
I can't believe somebody would park a beautiful car like that and forget about it or the rest of them ?
Lawrence Eich the previous owner was an avid car collector, eventually got ill and couldn’t care for the cars as much as his younger years. Sometimes life just happens and the years fly by!
People go off to military and some die so they get barned
Ordinarily I’d agree with your comment then I looked out in my garage and saw my Porsche I haven’t driven in years..... It happens😕
I can those gen Camaros were the worst handling.
@@stevenhorsefield2909 no,actually they weren't and this is a second gen,idiotfuck
Man you did a really good job on that car, I was amazed at how you got the scratches out. I wish I had the patience to do that.
Hobiemarty thank you I appreciate the kind words! Few more things to do, engine wise, and it will be ready for a road test (1st time since 95). You can do anything you put your mind to! Thanks for the comment 😎
@@RyanSampsonRPh looks fantastic. You have to be able to find them though. Here in PA, everything rusted away!!!
My husband has been restoring cars for roughly 35 years and he told me to tell you “nice car”.
That car looks amazing. It's obvious you know your stuff when detailing a car. Hell of a job. Good luck with it.
Thank you Paul!

Jeff Mullen Hahahaa
Ryan Sampson Commence the air strike after he’s done right on the window!
All I can say is wow...you cleaned the hell out of that car. Amazing job I’m definitely taking notes so I can have my car look like this. Got yourself a new subscriber and supporter with this.
Thanks Mycah I appreciate that, it means a lot to me! Any questions you have let me know. I can only fit so much in a video!
I find it difficult to believe this sat for twenty years. Take that as a compliment.
Pha Q right? Actually probably been sitting longer, last registered in 94-95. Came out pretty good though!
@@RyanSampsonRPh you showed the plate in the next video and it was registered in 98
James Brown correct I was a few years off
Ouch and the rest gif. Last 😀aoq
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for rescuing this beautiful 2nd gen Z28 🙏🏾
I had a '74 Camaro I bought new from the showroom, and I'm Soooooo glad it had the black interior instead of the 5 or 6 shades of whatever is in that car.... black, brown, tan, light brown, greenish whatever.... chrome came out nicely! My '74 had those gosh-awful huge aluminum bumpers that would corrode and looked terrible after 3 years.
Amazing transformation. Older muscle cars really had style. Today's cars all look alike ☺
Glenn Watkins Thanks Glen! I agree, today’s cars are all throw away cars and look the same. Pretty sad how cars have no style anymore today.
@@RyanSampsonRPh Wait... you mean 30 years from now no one will be restoring 1984 Buick Century's??? LOL!
@@radiodave1 lol
Your right now you have to look for a badge to find out what they are
@@mustangmarty8491 TRUTH!
If you ever wanna do a double clean for seat mold/ dust, Use vinegar and distilled water. Then use some peroxide but make sure it only cleans the surface. Use dawn dish soap and warm water after, and then wash it off with clear unsoapy water. And for a nice smell, use pine sol spray and wiper dry with a rag
THIS is the kind of details I like to see! Amazing work on an amazing car!
Amazing car. That is my favorite year Camaro. Glad to see that you are showing her the love she deserves. I am impressed with your work ethic in all the steps a mere detail job. I hope she brings you many years of joy and excitement.
Collinite!!! I'm impressed. I thought that I was one of the only people to use that product. Most detailers I've spoken to have never even heard of it. It is by far the best product I've ever used and I've tried many of them. The car looks outstanding. Great job and thanks for saving this beautiful car.
you should have taken the breather off and coved the carb with water proof bag before spraying engine bay
Don’t be silly it will dry and it will be fine .
I was thinking the same thing.
"Great Video " Love These Classic Chevy Camaro's My Dad Had One it Was A 76 Loved That Car I Wish He Still Had it!! If He Still Had it I Would Have Been Trying To Restore it Just like you Are!! Can't Wait To See it Running!!👍👍😎✌🚘
That's awesome! Next video will be of er running for the first time since it was parked! Thanks for watching!
Man that cleaned Up nice! Can’t wait to see when you get this one running in a future video hopefully! Keep up the good work on all these cars!
Tyler D heck yeah! Thanks buddy!
@@RyanSampsonRPh Wait a minute. You spent all that time on a car that doesn't run? Isn't that kinda like wiping your butt before you poop?
You know what they say it's the kiss method right keep it simple silly
Red Man I got it running 😎. My question to you is who wants to work on a dirty car? 👎
No one I k ow want to work on a motor covered in bird crap mouse crap and pee and an inch of barn dust I pulled a Hudson fuzz car out like that and it got a bath first off too
Wow! What a fantastic example. Nice to see someone doing a proper job with the cleaning. I always find that if I don't do it myself I spend 20 minutes going around a vehicle cleaning off polish that's been left behind.
Couldn't stop watching. Looks like my very first car I bought in 1978. I remember every inch of that car
Really good shape too and a 4 speed car to boot. They are harder to find than the gen 1 cars especially in decent shape . I looked forever for my Z. Cant wait to see it run
The 70 Camaro z28 will always be my favorite year of the Camaro. The same LT1 motor used in the Corvette that year. I love the color combination. You did an amazing job detailing. It'll look even better with the stock wheels back on it!!!
icurt06 Thank you! You are right! I’m a corvette guy and love the LT1 engine. I’m working on restoring stock wheels as we speak 😎.
@@RyanSampsonRPh The 73 Z28 used the same L82 engine as the 73 L82 Corvette... my brother has one of each... here is a vid of his special order L82vette... ua-cam.com/video/y3feLtPuk2c/v-deo.html
and I have an original paint survivor 71 LT1 coupe with a NCRS top flight. ua-cam.com/video/6h55o2u7wa8/v-deo.html
TheJagjr4450 Looks/sounds great! It’s not easy to get a top flight award for NCRS. I have been working to restore my 61 NCRS style for the past few years. Yeep your are right, I have the factory L82 in this 73- first year for the camaro to transistion to it from the awesome LT1
@@RyanSampsonRPh you did an amazing job of restoring the beauty of the 73 Z28! It looks beautiful!
lynda petty Thank you so much! You made it all possible for me and I am really grateful!!☺️
Love the little bumperettes, very nice
John L Thanks John!
HOLY crap...that's beautiful. Love the color and this early generation. Congratulations on this very unique vehicle.
Nice job my dude! Can't believe you were able to bring the paint back on a car that's nearly 50. 👍
I had a 73 Z28. 4 spd....gold with black stripes, this is so satisfying to watch....Thank You for sharing this...🙏🏻
HeROsiNhEaVeN That’s awesome! I can’t wait to get this road worthy within the next few weeks!
Ryan Sampson looking good, can’t wait to see a follow up...👍🏻
This is a good looking two-tone ride, the cleanup was a good job!!
I just found a 70 for sale. I already have a 69 but always wanted a 70. Dad and I were the high bidder on another 69 last summer. We were going to split the price and share the car, sell it when we had enough of it but it had the factory chambered exhaust, the cross ram intake, and the hood that was specific to the cross ram. That intake, carbs, hood, and exhaust was probably worth $20k. We bid $50k guy wanted $52k. Gave him the number to call so that way if we gave him $50 still it would have been more then he got at the auction when both of us would have had to pay 10% fees. It was fresh restored. Orange with white stripes but had the plain cheap black interior mine has houndstooth, its yellow with black stripes and yellow houndstooth. Has 4 wheel disc too the original DZ302 and all have a spare 302 and 4 speed along with it.
JesseLJohnson I sold my 73’ in 1993 for 4K....I still kick my self about it till this day....car was pretty close to mint and was an absolute beast....i heavily modified the small block.....I have pics of me doing block long burnouts and donuts with it....
Amazed the interior was in that good of shape after the animals had at it
Great car looks as good as it did back in 73. It did stirred my memory since we had one when I was a kid. Great flashback to my kiddie years long gone now.
Good find and it looks great. Nice work. Thanks for saving the Camaro! 🇺🇸
I was hoping the grille would’ve got the some thing as the front lip 😭
We all were lol
Good taste in cars, can't say the same for the music.......
YES!!! You clay-barred it first !! I’m commenting at the point you stated that bc I was hoping you would. I’m hoping you clay the glass too!! 😃👍🏻
Like wow man, not bad for a 47 year old car. Loved this year of camaro, and the 1984, z28 as well.
Great job man!!! always a joy seeing something brought back to life
Damn man.... The old owner just discovered he didn't ask enough.
I'm really surprised with how good of a condition the car was actually in for sitting that long
Imagine if someone just threw a tarp or something over it when it went into the barn
It actually had a bed sheet laying off to the side of it but was all tore up and used as bedding material for the animals around lol. Mighta saved it for a few years though!
This brings back a lot of memories. In my much younger years I owned a 1976 Camaro Rally Sport which in that year replaced the Z28.
0:16 RIP Headphone users 😳
Gotta make sure you are awake haha!
I got angry
@@NclinedMuzaclly I turned off the video.
t
20 year old barnfind? Really dude I think you're lying car looks amazing.
Killed me that you didn't give the grille the little extra detail with a little back to black or something.
I should have done it for the video but I knew I was better off replacing it due to some overspray being on it =/ (it’s super cheap for a new grille on these cars)!
@@RyanSampsonRPh even better! Car looks amazing!
@@SoVividTV Thanks! 👍👍
Amazing job, please keep that 100% how you got it and preserve the originality of that car and history for all Camaros!!!!
My dream car, my older brother had a 73 Camaro he had bought new and took me for rides when I was a kid, best Camaro body style ever designed. Great find, wish I was that lucky.
Don’t get me wrong but....
I like newer cars but.....
*Older cars a smexy as hell*
Weeb
Joe Schmo ye
Wow I was on the road about hundred miles from home was on a road trip fone call hey 71 camero for 400 $ running I didn't want to return how I regret it 10 years next month queit a reminder
if only i could find a k5 blazer like this💀
There's a beautiful one In Fife lake Michigan at the Fife lake car lot. Cleanest all black
David Stirm dang im from sc so that’s like a 15 hour drive
Wow, this brought back memories. I had a 1975 Camaro and the interior was basically the same. Front end looked a little different but all in all it was very much like my first car. enjoy it.
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Great job ! Very impressive how you brought that paint job back to life.
I wish people stop calling these things barn finds. There more like barn forgotten.
why? they find them in barns
Exactly. Just neglect in my opinion. There’s no reason to let a highly desirable car like that sit in that condition. Block it up, pickle the engine, drain/ condition the fluids, desiccant in the interior, a cover and some mothballs would have done wonders for it.
20 years setting that’s a lie look at the paint like new
So I seen a lot of cars sitting 20-30 years it only needs a good Cleaning buffing job. As long car isn't outside the paint will be OK
Don't HATE HATER!
Hater
Now that im restoring my grandmothers 78 camaro z28, im in love with them.... they really are works of art.
I agree! That’s awesome, goodluck with the build!
@@RyanSampsonRPh Thank you!
A couple years ago I bought a 70 Olds Rallye 350 that mostly sat in a Wisconsin garage for 6 years. The mice had completely taken over the interior of the car. The interior stunk so bad I wore a respirator when I got in the car. By day 3 of owning it I had had completely guttted the interior. It was pretty awful. I recently drove the car for the first time after owning it for 1 1/2 years. Congrats on bringing the car back to where it is today, it looked like the first drive was an anxious but exciting time. And kudos for all the excellent work you put into the car car.
I had a 1973 Camaro in 1993 and even though it wasn't a barn find yours is SO much better looking and so much cleaner... my Camaro sat outside year after year beside a house where the sun had its way but regardless I cleaned it up but wow... yours is just great...👍👍 wow Ohio and Franklin county Columbus at that??? Way to go....
I bought a 1970 Camarro super sport new that year. My car had the short spoiler ,and the front bumper was not split, it was a 300 hp 350 Muncie 4 spd, tach and gauges ,and it had a 3:55 12 bolt posi, and heavy duty cooling system. I sold it at 66,000 miles because my 84 year old dad parked next to it in the garage and I was getting nervous. Wish I had it now I paid $3450.00 cash and it had the last 5 year drive train guarantee, in 1971 they dropped it to one year I believe.
Ryan!!!! You did an awesome job of cleaning that car!!!!!! I can not believe how good it looks!!!!! I really enjoyed your video and keep up the GREAT work!!!!!!
Ryan!!! Me encantan tus videos, me gusta mucho el amor que le pones a estás máquinas olvidas. Bien por ti, excelente trabajo! Sigue igual 👍🏻
I'm jealous. Anxious to hear it running now
Forever wishing I will be lucky enough for me to come across a barn find in my life , that thing is damn clean! 1 in 1,000,000
This was so much work. Congratulations on this amazing barn find! Looks better than new!
Beautiful work and results, and thanks for sharing with us!
that classic looks of clean dashboard without any LCD screens is just perfect . Awesome car.
David Figura Thanks man!
Best barnyard find I've seen so far. This z28 is beautiful.
upt 7900 Thank you 👍!
Amazing clean up job. Beautiful find and beautiful car.
I am literally blown away by the 180 degree transformation!
Just incredible how clean it came out great job👍👍
Had a '73 LT350. Thanks for the memory lane walk, dude. Beautiful car.
Wow, the paint wasnt that bad. Nice find! Great job on the detailing!💪💪
GREAT video Ryan and GREAT work on restoring this car. Awesome find! I just bought a '72 Camaro myself late April. And, thanks for showing the products you used. I will be using a number of these in the future.
It was in the 90's "Who knows what kind of knowledge they had back then". Lol that made my day!
The paint and color if the interior are delicious. Stunning job
I didn’t think I would like that brown exterior but I do! Really looks sharp! Great job!
I don’t understand how the hoses and everything under the hood looks so perfect wow lucky find
Right? It's weird that some stuff aged (wires are super brittle and needs gone through, suspension shot etc) and other stuff didn't as much like the hoses, which were pretty good and pliable still!
That dust and grime really did a wonderful job at preserving that paint. Turned out awesome man!
You're one of the only other people I've seen them myself.. use 0000 steel wool on chrome.. people have a heart attack when they watch me start into cleaning chrome with it. Chrome.. but ugly tail pipe are one of favorite detail moves for people. You're Awesome Bro Keep The Great Content Coming 🙏😎🍀🌳 for chrome rims I use the wool with LOW level abrasive Car Wax.. little circles with the wool and Wax after a Wash. Let harden just like waxing a car body. Remove with terry cloth 😇
Watching the clouds drove by on the windshield was priceless
Damn. Early 70's camaros are some of the coolest cars ever...color me envious
WOW...Just goes to show what a couple days and loads of elbow grease can do. Your Camaro turned out great and shows pride in what you do...Keep it up,it speaks volumes about you!
I truly appreciate that, thank you!
wow man i cant believe this car was sitting that long and you made look like its brand new ,great job
That was Awesome! Great Job Ryan! It looks Absolutely Beautiful!
Great job on cleaning this car up! Congrats on the find!👏🏻
Outstanding work coming out of phenomenal effort, Ryan! As an old street rodder, optics was as important to me as substance, and you did just a top-shelf, disciplined and thorough job. I remember growing up in the 60's & early '70s, and the son of a neighborhood preacher bought a new '73 Z/28 in that same Brown. Wicked car with its 4-bolt Main LT-1 motor. He'd light 'em up at the STOP sign near our home in Chicago. I used to love catching him driving around the 'hood. Exact same car...and you've brought it back to near brand-new! Well done, Ryan! Thanks for the brief journey back to my early 'Teens! 👍👍
Holy crap...😳
Can't believe that color combo actually looks pretty decent ! I would have never even considered it. But after your magic ... 🤔 I could see myself rocking that.
Your a extremely talented guy. Enjoyed watching. And not because I have a 1970.. good stuff my friend. 👍🇺🇸💪
sick!!! Ive always loved the full bumper more than the split! Great find!!!!
Man...just hiding it off made a 1000% difference! Great barn find!
Right? It buffed so well too, surprised me a lot! Thanks for the comment!
You are one hard working young man!! Im very impressed. Nice job
