I love my 95z. Drove it off the lot. Your exhaust is not stock. Enjoy the water pump replacement all the time. The lines of this car are amazing. True muscle car of the 90s.
👍
Had a 97 z28 my sister bought it new, I bought it in 99 with 14k miles on it, put 200k on it, besides general maintenance it was a really reliable car. Loved it black 30th Grey interior with the red.. miss that car
People make a huge deal about the optispark. My factory one went way over 200k and I replaced the cap and rotor just because i had the engine out when doing some mods!
Cap and rotor is the Optispark lol
141k on my original OPTI and the engine fires up first crank and runs smooth!
@@MvPuNk what goes bad is the Mitsubishi optical sensor. That's the heart of the opti. The cap and rotor are wear items!
Go to a junkyard and grab all the extra window/regulator parts you can. You can't that stuff anymore and it breaks all the time. Also grab the moldings on the outside of the windows.
I know what you mean. My driver's window is all messed up, but it's not the regulator (which you can still buy new), but other hardware between the door and window. That door has a lot of other issues too, so I ended up just buying a whole other car just for the doors... and seats, fenders, hood, front bumper, etc...
I have a 93 I bought new and a 95 I bought about 5 years ago, and I have never had a problem with any of the window hardware, except I did have to upgrade the moldings, the upgrade doesn't have any metal in them, changed them about 25 years ago they're still like new.
4th Camaros kick ass! I own 2, 01 SS 97 Z28!
Try hawks performance for your interior needs I dunno if you been on their website looking parts yet or not but that's where I'm getting my plastics to replace all the drilled pieces on the interior of the 99 we are getting like I said.
The cracked dash pad, broken center console lid, and torn-up seats are standard features on these 4th gens. That's actually a little rip by comparison, and if the little levers on the back are on the outside (closer to the doors than the center console), then they probly haven't been switched. I understand why you'd think they've been switched, cuz it's usually the driver's side bolster that gets torn up first. Idk how that seat got ripped like that. Shouldn't cost too much at an upholstery shop tho (and that red and black interior looks pretty awesome). Just be thankful you don't have any problems with the door windows.
👍
To bad I do
IAM SORRY MAN THIS BODY STYLE IS JUST UGLY AND I HAVE A CAMERO Z28 ALSO BUT MINE IS A 92 25TH ANIVERSARY Z28 THAT I ORDERED NEW BACK IN 92 AND EVEN TODAY IN 2022 THE LOOKS ARE JUST BADASS.
@@anthonylaudano9751 Nah, the 3rd gens are boxy and ugly, like your all-caps. I prefer the smooth curves of the 4th gens and lower-case letters. Plus, the 3rd gens are the most underpowered of all Camaros; the 4th gen's 3.8 V6 beats all but the most powerful 3rd gens.
@@chaoslord8918 YAH I NEVER SAID YOU'RE GOING TOO WIN MANY RACES BUT THE 93 TOO 2002 Z28 LOOK JUST UGLY LOL THE SS Z28 ARE OK LOOKING BUT THE STOCK 93 02 ARE FUCKING UGLY.THE 91 92 Z28 LOOK BADASS.
I have this car as a convertible and I love it I had to fix one of the cables and fix the air conditioning so I didnt have as many problems but I just need to save up money soni can get repainted again
Your just like me man I'm trying to restore my 94 z28 just because it had a ton of stuff like this going on lol. Can't wait for more content I just subscribed !
👊🙏
Yeah I bought a 95 Z28 a few months ago it was fine but now it's having issues 😑 Now the speedometer stopped working and car won't get outta first gear. It's a automatic. Speed sensor already replaced. I have to get a diagnostic at a shop. Too bad its obd1👎👎👎never again. I'll stick with 96 and up
Sorry bro.
My 95 z28 Camaro I’m glad the original owner was good on the car because mine has 178,000 miles on it and everything works !
This has always been one of two dream cars to own! I have the first one which is my 95 wrangler I got as a high school gift. I need to find myself one of these!!! The exact same color and style!!
Got a slightly modified 4th gen Camaro Z28 for my first car. Anyone have tips about the quirks of it?
How’s it going? Don’t have a car yet and I’m probably out of my mind for considering these 4th gens as a first car and a daily, wonder how it’s going for you
@@zod548Well sorry for replying 10 months later but actually not that bad. There’s practically nothing too wrong mechanically with my vehicle. The windows go up and down slow, but some WD-40 on the sides fixes that. My door locks on both sides didn’t work and the driver side interior door panel was a hacksaw job. Nabbed some parts from a blue 95 Z28 and fixed the handle panel and got a new door bezel control panel for dirt cheap. Took the mess apart and got access to look inside the door, someone cut into the doorframe but nothing too big. Decided to take the whole door panel off and my father took out the door lock bar to see why it wouldn’t lock. I reinstalled it and for some reason it started to work so I didn’t need to replace my door lock. The other side has the same issue, I’m sure what happened is that the end of the bar where the door lock bar snaps into the hole can sometimes pop out if you hit a bump hard enough. Got that fixed, fixed the time on the radio, and fixed the A/C bolt that was missing by stealing one off a wrecked 95 Z28. Put the door panel back on which is a nightmare, they’re little lift and drop plastic scoops. So it’s a two person job especially if one’s broke. Recommend going from the left to right when installing the whole door cover. And as of right now that’s it, currently need to get the A/C recharged if it’s even possible and put JB weld into a screw hole that someone drilled out too big and drill the new weld into the correct bolt size. Then put the door handle panel back on and have my driver side fixed. Oh yeah they also disconnected the driver side panel control lights for some reason too. So gotta figure out where that plugs into too.
And that’s about it, still some things I wanna investigate my brakes they need some touch up, and my shifter. The whole car’s weight moves kinda weirdly when I change gears, my dad says it’s fine but I wanna be safe. But yeah as far as a daily driver nope. It ain’t no daily driver, it’s a historical car, but a good start to getting into working on old cars. My dad says as far as cameros go it’s the most modern one. Newer ones are kinda retro looking.
Looks like that car wants to nickel and dime you to death. Still, be thankful it's all minor stuff, though there is quite a bit to be addressed. I just picked up a '97 Z28 convertible with 48,000 miles, automatic and a leather interior. It needs a few minor things but overall it's in good shape. I just had the A/C charged and the temp gauge fixed along with a temp sensor on the radiator replaced. I need a passenger mirror because it's broken internally. I'd also like to have both bumper covers re-painted because of scratches and stone chips. This is the fastest car I've had since my '70 Nova SS with the L78 396. Of course, the Z28 handles much better than the Nova. Good luck with yours, these 4th gen Z28s are great road cars.
The parts guy at the Chevy printed the build sheet for my 97 Z28. Everything on mine works.
Mine has that same ding lol the back pannels are metal tho on mine probably was wrecked at one point tho and a new hood makes these so much nicer
Need some more videos on the 95 Z28
Very soon 😉.
Great video! Hello from Russia!
👊
Privyet
Hahah mine has the same cosmetic issues aswell but the engine is built top to bottom w spray so I’m not to worried abojt the cosmetics only 94k miles on og engine and 6k on clutch and the paint isn’t the best and window seals like u said and dash crack
I got lucky with my 95 Z28, $7500 mint condition with 38k miles 6 years ago. It's a lot of fun to play with, but not much fun to work on...pack your patience.
Why isn’t it fun to work on?
@@ReynoldsRides try removing those rear spark plugs or the fuel pump and see.
@@jamesjackson8667 how do you remove number 2 i think the on e that’s behind the alternator that’s the only one i need
@@rebel9976 Put the socket on the plug first
I just bought a 95 base model 3400 motor. 70k original miles. Very clean solid car. Am I insane to want to redo everything motor trans and put posi rear end?
I'm a bit late to this but you probably would be better off just buying a plain old z28/SS car, it'll save a ton of blood sweat and tears as well as time and money
So excited for this!
👍
Look on the bright side. The pinion shaft seal is still good
I felt the bonding of that wash 😎
😂
0:13 that’s a Maple Motors shot right there :)
Also, better hope the fuel pump never goes out...check out what you have to do to fix it 😉
Luckily it was replaced right before I bought the car.
4:38 If anyone has this issue and sees the Velcro strip stuck to the other one all you need to do is just apply new glue. Mine was stuck to the other one so when I yanked parts from a wrecked 95 I got a new electrical panel and luckily it still was attached and in perfect condition.
Shbox.com for all your questions about the 95 Z28. Correct part numbers, how to's, diagrams, everything. I have the exact car as you. Red and black interior too. Mine has cooling issues and my gas guage doesn't work. 132,000 miles on mine.
Cool, thanks!
Yea, my gouge doesn’t work either! Good luck changing out the sending unit/ pump assy!
I got one right about the same time as you. My a/c has the same problem. Have you found it out?
Yes!

Which cold air intake is that ? Because I’m trying to find one for my 1995 Z28
It’s K&N.
this gen for this camaro is my dream camaro,
What's the difference between an ss and a z28. I found a 97 ss for 4900 and want one.
SS > Z28
There basically the same thing. SS is gonna bring more cost but performance wise they are 99% identical in every way
Center mount exhaust
Comes with higher performance parts but nothing too special, basically paying for the ss badge
I have a 97 camaro z28 383 stroker LT same color I gutted The whole interior it took me seven years to get it running proper oh my does she rip it takes a lot of dedication and hard work to love these cars it could be very annoying but once they run they run burn out for distance.
Awesome.
@@ReynoldsRides 👍
This camaro is identical to mine at the moment lol mismatched front and rear bumpers aswell
That's crazy mam me and the wife are looking at a B4C it's a 1999 ls1...gotta replace alot of screwed interior plastics...it only has 54 thousand miles on it and only 34 made in white and it's a automatic...good score on the project camaro!
Nick Stewart I’ve got my 95 Z28 6speed car for sale, it’s only got 26,000 miles on it. I still have the factory Goodyear GSC tires and the factory wheels. It’s on my channel if you wanna check it out
Which RPO codes did you ignore?
Hey i got a question, so i got me a 1995 camaro but im not sure if its a z28 or is it all the 95s?
Is it a V8? There should be a sticker with codes on it in the glove box. If one of the codes is Z28, it’s a Z28.
Dish soap would have worked for the washing segment. You ain't got no clear coat!! Haha ;)
Damn man. My cousin just picked up one of these in black for 3k cash with no real issues not counting some fo the handles not working properly and a yellow stain on the back seat. Looks like mustard 🤣
made me feel a little better about my 97 i got for 3500 i thought my little clear coat peel broken springs in center console and crack in my dash made it a shit box 😭
How many miles are on it??
Do you know how the paint is getting like that?
I would say it’s a combination of the car sitting in the sun for most of its life and previous owners not taking care of the paint properly.
@@ReynoldsRides I’m not 100% sure but using dish soap to wash a car can also damage older clear coat
Same color and year as mine! Only difference is mine has black leather interior. My a/c also did not work when I purchased it!!!! I had to replace a/c compressor 😥
But after that no problems, I had shorty headers installed along with Magna flow muffler, 58mm Throttlebody and a underdrive crank pulley. She is now pulling 340 horsepower now......
This looks like a fun project. Previous owned really sucked. Looking forward to updates
I got the best deal on here I feel like lol. I paid my brother in law thousand bucks for a pretty much perfect condition 96 camaro, dash was a bit cracked but everything else picasso it has leather seats and ! T top I love it so far lol
Its white with the black mirrors its clean asf man
Still nice car and would change it into project car
Do you still own this car? Would love to ask more questions and want a 4th gen myself. Loved this video!
What do you need to know? Very easy platform to work on I have a fully built 383 stroker 1997 firebird I built myself for less than 2k.
@@jamesstebbins6742 what’s the better platform firebird or the Camaro? Also what yrs and mileage is best. Thank you
@@Momo-xl7trno gay
I see this is a few years old but all those things are minor, if you haven’t lost 3-4 clutches yet you better start learning all you can about the 4l60e that’s what I did, still a cool car though
I would love that car.
Thought for sure that radiator air scoop was gona snag the cam! 😂
I just bought a 1996 Camaro..I used to own all original 1967..I regret selling that car
Those seats are ORIGINAL
Yu got my like seeing the drive shaft move
You should have addressed those issues before you bought it. Don't blame that on "the Camaro" engineers. Yea, it had issues but good grief, you talking as though is was the way it was built, not the owner... or The BUYER.
So I found one that’s really nice has a few issues like a tiny bit of clear pealing here’s what the listing says it’s a convertible v6 car that’s been converted to a v8 with the 5 speed however it all looks factory and was done well here it is
LT1 350 runs very good, 5-speed manual transmission, lots of new components, new oil pump, water pump, radiator and new fans, new AC compressor and condenser, new plugs, new wires, serpentine belt, new polyurethane bushings on upper and lower control arms, as well as sway bar bushings front and rear. New struts, new shocks, new coil springs. New clutch pressure plate and flywheel as well as new slave cylinder. Had the transmission freshened up with new parts also. Was building car to keep and drive but had some unexpected health issues arise and need to thin out a few things. Interior is nice except for top of dash. Car is black on black on black, with eagle five spoke wheels. I have invested way more than what I’masking for the car
So what do you guys think it’s worth he wants 5500
Omg don’t close the door by the window!
Gotta do some upgrades homie 😂💯
My z28 has a wierd lump on the floor of the passenger side what could that be
That’s on every car, I forget exactly what it is but it’s in every 4th gen. Totally normal
@@kevinkanning4970 That hump is for the catalytic converter, so it doesn't hang too low under the car.
Dude, you should wrap it. I got a quote to wrap Sarah’s Yukon...
How much?
Give it to me I'll give it the love it deserves
The main thing wrong with it is that LT1 engine :) But for real, you should be pretty happy--those are all minor things. My 2001 needs some serious de-rusting before I can do anything else to it.
looks like the biggest thing wrong with this car is that YOU ARE THE OWNER.
Hope you didn’t pay too much for it. Nobody took care of that car.It’s a mess. I’m lucky my 97 is almost perfect. Good luck on your repairs, parts etc.
Nice video man, looking forward to more updates
Thanks!
It IS a 25 year old car. Did you notice that when you bought it ?
Sure did. And?
Go to screamingchicken.com for parts bro I been on there for dash parts they have a lot of camaro and Firebird stuff
I bought a 93 6 speed car new, ordered it months before they went into production, built a 625 horse 383 LT1, put a 9" Moser floating axil road racing rear end in it, Wilwood big brakes, been road racing it for 30 years, Cannon ball One Lap of America 9 times, slaughters any Mustang of Challenger ever produced, these cars are flawless, I have a standing offer for 50 grand for my 93, not enough, I'm not done with it yet, problems with your car is it has been poorly maintained, a poorly maintained car over 30 years is a mess of any kind, most cars won't last 30 years, all of mine look and drive better than new.
Everyone I talk to tells me it’s not worth it I say fuck that but would you be willing to help me know what I’d need to do I just got a v6 Camaro for free and want to do a 350 swap
@@zachlake2421 Switching this car from a V6 to a V8, would be a lot of work and be expensive, it's not like the good old days where you could buy an old 6 cylinder Tempest and run to the junkyard and pick up a 283 and have it on the road in a couple days.
I think it would be cheaper to find a Z28 for sale if you really want one with a V8, it could be one of those projects that becomes so insurmountable that you could lose interest and have it not get finished, I can't even begin to imagine all you would have to do.
Don't forget water pump fuel filter and fuel pump and thermostat
I love my camaro but yeah gm built them out of cheap ass shit unlike my 93 mustang
Thats what happens when cars aren’t cared for… the sun destroys them..
Got fire insurance? LOL
😳
Why she'll never gonna be a show car ?!
That vehicle is in sad shape. I got a 94 Z28.
It’s actually not that bad. I was being a little dramatic for the video. Check out my playlist for this car: ua-cam.com/play/PLl_MQskh-fsxWC-i0UWOGCmPLihq9Iz1m.html.
I have an automatic transmission, unfortunately. I just had it fully rebuilt it 3 weeks ago. I used the TCI Automotive Ultimate Pro Super Overhaul kit #378955 with the TCI Breakaway torque converter #243107. I just obtain what seems to be the last Eibach Pro-Kit spring set in the country, part number 3831.140 going to be using the KYB AGX adjustable gas shocks and struts with that. And the Energy Suspension: Polyurethane Master Set # 3.18130R next.
Why did u buy one if ya hate it that much.
Did you watch the video?
Wow, that's alot.
hahahahaha i think i gor ODC when i watch ur car... jesus i wouldnt spend a dollar on it.. if no 1 else fix all 4 me :=)
Very rusty underneath
I own a 95 fire bird I'm smart you are not
What u expect?
Woof
Wow this car is a piece of junk, good luck fixing that mess...
Thats the experience of owning an older muscle/sports car.
Yea your optispark 😂
