I owned a 1970 Camaro. 250 hp stock. We put mild cam, 373 gear in the rear end, Muncie 4 speed. What a blast I had. 20 years old, beautiful, very quick '70 Camaro. Quick silver with black racing stripes. I was young and enjoyed that car. Unfortunately due to marriage, was forced to sell it. Should have kept the car and got rid of the now EX wife. I still have dreams about her....THE CAR THAT IS!

This is my favorite Camaro out of all of them, every year every model. Absolutely perfect!!

Awesome video!! However the 1970 Camaro's also had a 375HP 396 option which was in 1970 was actually a 402CID the same engine in the 1965 corvette in 396CID was rated and dyno'd out at 425HP. The had 11 to 1 compression square port heads solid lift cam's. I have had both.

I owned the exact model and same color etc. Got it for $1800 in the mid-70s. Probably my favorite car ever. I owned about 12 to 15 cars from the 60s- mostly muscle cars.Chevys Fords ,a Buick GS and my only Dodge. 69 to the mid 70s were the best years of my single life ! Also- music from the mid 60s to mid 70s was the best

Thank you for sharing. My Dad had a 1971 Z/28 w/posi rear end. Great memories

Love the '70 and a half Z/28. Probably my favorite car. The Forest Green paint of the featured car is spectacular and really accentuates the lines of the intended design.

I want a race ! I have a 70' Pontiac formula 400 and seeing both together would be a thrill

Plain and simple. The best looking car ever made, even to this day. The real RS is beautiful

This is a great channel, so informative, I am a big fan of these muscle cars. Wished I owned one of them.

I used to have a 70,s with 307 engine when I was teen ager , I really enjoy it very much

Had the 67 Camaro SS/ 4 speed muncie manual/ 350 V-8 with all the features I could handle... My Dad was a speed shop owner and built race cars ground up oval modifieds to gassers and rails per ordered... He was a Mil Wright and also machined and built engines for whatever specific racing you required or hot rods just to cruise... I drag raced my Camaro and my 56 Belair, at 14 of age I built my own 327 ci. for my 56, from 67 to 70 and military service duty enjoying each day of ownership... Note: Cutting others grass from age 11, a 6 days a week thrown paper route from 12 to 16, working for local cotton and soybean farmers in the summers all paid for my cars... Yes my Mom and Dad helped me plus using Dads speed shop tools helped... But my lessons learned were be there for your children but let them earn their own way... still have both at 67 yrs. old now plus a second 56 Chevy Belair just for Drags... Thanks Mom and Dad...

Brings back so many memories My dad had this car and tuned it to the max could hear him coming and going

The 70 1/2 is the best Z28 there ever was. But my favorite Camaro ever is a 69 ZL1 COPO

My all time favorite Camaro.

I love 2nd Gen's they are so sweet

I’m torn between the 69 and 70 Camaro as my favorite classic Camaro.

In the 90s had a frame off Z people thought I was nuts using it as a daily .Yrs later not a nick on it at least I got my fun...sitting in a garage is a joke. Best driving musclecar I ever owned...love the looks of my 67 rs and 69 SS better but no comparison as far as a road car Hours at a time on the fwy 3200 rpm with that solid cam humming away. Yes!!

Beautiful Camaro I own a 1984 Z /28 it is not to bad but it is not nearly as beautiful as that Camaro. I do get a lot of good comments about it. I am running a 383 small block Chevy with the 7R400 it has a little less than 54.000 miles on the body. I just love the way it drives and handles. I like the looks of the older ones but I just cannot afford one. The one I own I have had for twenty one years now.

When I was a young lad in the late 80s I purchased a rusty 76 camaro for 750 dollars. And the reason was it was so fast. Well running the numbers it was a 1970 LT1 engine. The rest is history. Had lots of fun beating up 5.0 mustangs left and right with it.

I like this video, My best friend has a Factory Red 70-1/2 RS-SS Factory 4spd Camaro.

My very first car right after getting my drivers license. I was 17 years old. Given to me by my brother inlaw. It was a 1970 but it was only a 6 cylinder regular Camaro. He used it as a salesman car. But I didn't care, like I said I was only 17 yeara old and totally thrilled by it! So much so 4 years later a bought the real deal Z28. And i had so much fun with it! Good memories indeed!

This gen Z28 is one my favorites of all time.

One of my favorite cars of all time.

Classic Muscle Car 🥇🇺🇸

Oh yes! I wish my dad's 71 z28 looked as good as this. Even though we have the full bumper on ours, you still can't argue with the beauty of a split bumper. Keep them coming Muscle Car Of The Week!

Love the first gen styling more, though. This one's sweet, too. And Lord help me, I love the 80s IROC too, one of the only cool cars of that decade.

Second favorite model Camaro,right behind the 69 Z28 w/the RS option,those hideaway headlamps made for one wicked looking frontend

I think its very beautiful and i really like the eagle beek front end.my best friend at the time had one and he traded it with his freshly built 454 in it for 2 1967 camaros and he sold me my 1967 camaro back then when i was 21 for 1000 dollars.and it cost me everything i had at the time to own it and i have never regreted owning that car except one thing? Selling it after i wrecked it for 1400 dollars because my son was on the way.i look back and wish i would have kept it amd given it to.my son Lance. I know he loved every vehicle i ever had. I live in regret not giving my son a nice ride because now hes died and hed be 21 today december 4th 1997- 2017 one year ago i lost him.and it messed wirh me veey much.selah

This guy is an excellent presenter. Super job!

These were a leap ahead of Chrysler in suspension. Anyway I can't believe this channel doesn't have 100k subscribers yet. Maybe word is slow to get out but come on the cars are some of the rarest and top quality conditioned cars around.

My 1971 Camaro gets my blood pumping like crazy!

They gave it a split bumper to help reduce front end weight.

I have a 70 LT1. It's from a Corvette, it has the Vette Valve covers. It was in an 80 cutlass my ex had bought back around 91. It was spark knocking, so I pulled it to do a build. I didn't think it was anything special at first. Then when I started disassembly, it had guideplates, screw In studs. Then a windage tray, 4 bolt, forged steel crank. The part store ran the numbers on the Pistons. GM part number for LT-1. It was either 10:1 or 11:1.

These cars un-smogged, when tuned and geared right , would be very hard to beat in the stock wars of the early 70's on the street ..I had tuned one that used a 7 in slicks and Hooker headers thru the real dual mufflers .. ran 12.5's all day long and drive to and from the track.

Always my favorite year😊

I am 58 years old. My whole life I say a 1960's Jaguar XKE with a V-12, but NO , a 1970 Camaro is the most sexy car of all time. It really is !

If any channel should be in 4k, it's this one. Good stuff.

I like the 70-73 Trans Am better. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking example of a really cool and fast vintage car.

Actually, the second gen's wheelbase was slightly shorter than the first gen: 108 inches for gen 2 vs 108.1 for gen 1.

a 1969 Z is my favorite but this is a second choice for sure.

I have had 2 70s and a 72 ,great cars sure miss them

I remember back in the mid 70s when I first became aware of cool cars .a neighbor had a 70 that was white with blue stripes and the first time I saw it fell in love with it! obviously many others did too,i can't even count how many friends and people i knew had one . forget about getting anyone over 3 foot tall in the back seat either. lol! ☆☆☆

This "sharp" edge at the front and the amazing lines of this car!... It's so beautiful!

awesome car, great video... thanks guys

I had a 70 rs Z28. Turbo 400 trans. Added GM angle plug heads. What a bullet proof screamer. Kept for 7 yrs. Wish I kept.

Sweet ride guys! Although it would have been nice to hear the engine idle when you mentioned the cam lift and duration.

A white one was my nemesis, when I was street racing my ‘69 Nova SS 350 4spd 4:10 posi 😍

Best looking Camaro of all time.

You failed to mention in regard to handling and road feel is that the 70 Z went from front steer steering gear in 1st gen Camaro to a rear steer steering gear in the 2nd gen Camaro.

I hope to someday get a muscle car, and that is at the top of my list!

Wow, so the power & torque is comparable to my 2022 Cadillac CT5 V Series with 3.0 TT V6. My car weighs in at 4,000 lbs & is actually much quicker off the line to 60 mph. My guess is the lightning fast shifting 10 speed auto with performance gearing in the lower ranges. I used to own a Z28 like this in Citrus Green w/black stripes. The 4 speed was fun & I loved the aggressive sound!

Perfect combo! Z28 and 350!

No front spoilers on 70 Z28's in 71 it was an option when ordering spoiler package

I wish my 71 Camaro looked that good

The 70 TA was such a better looking F body!

This Car is my dream.

I love the attentive stance

Such a sexy car!!

69 70 71 2018 19 20 are the best for me

Yeah they r nice carsmy buddy has one of the RS Z28 70 auto TH400 and with the color is Cortez silver black SS stripes and black interior and 456 in the rear plus a little more that makes it that much of a nice car still mint and dry garage kept .

Too bad I'll never have enough money to admire one of these beauties.

My dream car.

Z22 code car (RS) for the Z28 which I believe the Z28 is the code for what was supposed to be called the "Camaro Cheetah" Chevy loved the cool sounding code hence the famous Z28 was born.., great video!

My dream car

SHE IS GORGEOUS AND HOT CAMARO!!😯😯😍😍😍😍😍

A huge mistake here is that the speaker is not familiar with Big Block Chevys. There were rectangular port and oval port. Rectangular port were much higher performance with 4 bolt mains, forged crank, forged rods and pistons. rectangular intake ports, larger valves, solid lifter camshaft, aluminum intake and Holley 780. He quoted a 396-350 hp as the highest hp engine. That is wrong. Chevy had the L-78, which was 396/402-375 hp. I was at a huge Muscle Car show and there was someone with a '70 1/2 L-78. It was brown and pretty basic, but it had that very special engine.

One of my favourite muscle cars. How would it go if turbocharged?

i bought one new from the factory back in 1970 it came with the 4 speed with a 4 speed council on the floor

Beautiful design

I had a 1971 RS 350 automatic. I loved the car. I swear though my current 2013 Mazda 6 with a 4 cylinder engine is faster and handles way better. Everything about new cars is way better and way higher quality, but those old American muscle cars were fun.

Sweet!😄

Beautiful Kevo

Badass

Cool car in its own right, though personally, I always thought the second-gen Firebirds were far prettier.

Nice

I know a Vietnam vet that bought one after returning home. I don't know what he had against that car but he tortured it mercilessly until it burst into flames and burned to the ground a few years later.

Getting this car in yellow, just like Bumblebee in Transformers.

Worked for me!

Some had solid lifters some didn’t . The solid lifter cars were incredibly savage and pulled hard into the red. One of the best muscle cars of all time . The big sway bar helped . I will never forget the summer spent tearing down and rebuilding my uncles 70.5 . It was kept as close to original as possible . I think the only thing we changed was adding a msd distributor. Between 3500 and red it was one of the most intense machines I’ve ever been in . Get the feeler gauges out time to do a valve lash .

Really nice Camaro. But I like the 1970 SS 396 Camaro's better. I used to own a numbers matching 1970 SS 396 L-78 from 1988-2001. It was featured in Muscle car review back in 1992, I still have mint copies of the Magazine. My present Camaro is the other BB 1970 SS 396 (402 CID) L-34 also numbers matching. Both had headers. The L-78's real HP was 425 HP and my L-34 is 400 hp. With the headers It probably is 430 Hp. Both my BB would beat the Z-28 Camaro.

Wasn't there something special about the rear spoiler being shorter for the beginning of the 70 run and got taller later in the 70 model year?

Cool car

NICE CAR!!!

Only 6years ago. Doesn’t take long for hopes and dreams to be crushed 😢

Nice Car

Awesome car. Hideous color interior and exterior.

My old man had one the same color as this one but his was RS /SS with the LT1 i wish he could have kept it

Please can you guys do a review on a 1974 or 1977 Camaro Z28?!!! You just don’t see those years! Don’t get me wrong I love the 1970 Z28 it would be nice to see those reviewed too! Please and thank you! Great videos!

The LT1 WAS a great motor. But it's lack of torque made it feel like a slug compared to other muscle cars of the day. However, that same lack of torque and the f60 tires and the fact that stock, it could rev to 7000 RPMS, made it very easy to launch even with the 4.10 gears. Thus is was a killer on the street light drags. It just didn't feel very quick.

Hey your wearing shorts thats new. sweet camaro i really liked this generation

Underrated for insurance purposes, more like 400 HP LT1

Yes the LT1 was rated at 360hp but it actually dynoed at 425hp

Cool car! What's the black box thingy hanging out from the front on the right side?

I owned one but in Huger Orange I love the car. To me the best camaro.

I would like to see a dyno in today’s form of what the horsepower really is. Most likely, it’s less than what was originally advertised.

I love the Gen 2 Camaros I had one high school but sadly it was a 72 and it didn't have any real power I've always been upset that the 70 Camaro never gets the credit that it's due I think that's mainly because of the one-off Year 69 that everybody loves well most people anyway but in my opinion the handling and yes even the looks are better in a 1970

1970 r.s.camaro 350 2 baron altow 350 tran. I think carb. 650 cfm slit front bumper, seat belt harness flow out window and broke back glass but was a grate car also it was red? "Sold it in Heltonvell, IN. for $450.00 to pay of lone" Mark Inman,
