I have been to and know the guy that owns this car. He showed me all the history and associated information with it. Its original and hasnt been restored no matter what you might think in the comments. Quit being haters and enjoy a car that's top quality from the past.

My dream car! I was a paperboy and my neighbor had TWO 1969 Z28 Camaros that had DZ 302 small blocks in them and he would fly up and down the street chirping the gears and those scars were beautiful. He had a rally green one with white stripes and a royal blue one with white stripes. They were both parked next to each other in a two-car garage and I would look through the window and drool. It was early 80s so the cars were barely 10 years old and they looked brand-new! I would rather have a DZ 302 small block Camaro over any big block any day.

This car is why we get so mad at the ones that are left outside to rot.

This model year Camaro is my favorite. My husband bought his in 1973...302 engine yellow w/black stripes. I fell in love with them both that night we met! We got married 3 months later. He street drag race it. We were young and poor...it had a cracked motor block...couldn't be driven. My father won't let us leave in driveway till we could fix it. He sold it. He regretted it for years. 5 yrs. later we divorced. 45 some years later he became terminally ill. I set out to find car and did. It was restored 5 years after it was sold. Hood and engine replaced and rest original parts. Painted red not stock yellow. Sadly, he passed away before pictures got to him. I have them, know the current owner. Its safely tucked away in a garage.! Thanks for sharing this gem...only special people love this car!

Incredible survivor car! How could anyone possibly keep from driving it for 50 years is beyond my comprehension. How was this even able to happen? 314 original miles ? All I can say is WOW! That thing's got to be worth a mint! Beautiful car, thanks for the walkaround, great video!

One of the best videos you have ever done Thank you my cousin Timmy bought a 1970 Chevelle SS in the mid 70s so I grew up being driven around in that car but my all time favorite is the 69 z28 thanks again Pat.

That is a stunning example. I worked part time during high school in 1979 with another guy my age, who had a yellow (I believe) Z/28. He wrapped that car around a tree and totaled it about a mile from my house, after hitting a patch of ice. He was absolutely heartbroken as I recall.

Outstanding! It's as if Doc Brown cranked up the flux capacitor and went back in time and grabbed this beauty for us to see. What a fantastic, top shelf treasure! Thanks for letting us see!

Amazing car. As much as I want to believe it " my gut won't let me " My gut could still be wrong ,PGN , is a sharp dude, his knowledge on this subject is intimidating, eons beyond mine. I don't know if I'd argue this one to his face, but I have to go with my gut.

Really fine example of a 69 Z-28 in all its glory. I am not a Chevy guy but have the utmost respect for the effort it takes to maintain these gems. When I first moved to North Carolina in 1974. At the age of 15 I was visiting my Aunt and Uncle. In their garage sat a 1968 Turquoise Blue Camaro SS RS convertible. Next to it an identical color combination 71 Toyota Celica convertible. Both had white tops. Both were sitting with a few flat tires. I asked my Aunt why the cars were there. They were gifts given to their daughters as a High School graduation gift. To drive while in College. But they only drove them a few times and left them parked in the garage. Shame. The cars looked brand new except for the dust.

I cant stress enough how much I appreciate this video. Awsome awsome car. Thanks alot my friend for sharing

Several things were added to this Camaro Z. It's an X77 and there should be no fender wheel well chrome trim nor should there be any side window chrome trim. The cowl hood was added also, RPO ZL2 is not on the invoice at $79. But overall... Nice Z

Patrick--- I bought one of these Z/28 Camaros in 1969.. It was red with black stripes....I bought it from Kenny Oliver Chevrolet in Valatie NY which is just south of Albany and on the east side of the Hudson River.. It was very fast in fact it was a beast!!! Total MSRP was 3390.00... I loved that car,,,,,,,Oh well.....

I like how you almost whisper in reverance at some of these cars. Awesome👍

I am 66 years old and owned an all-original '69 Z/28 in the '70's. I have seen and /or owned numerous first-gen Camaros, both low-mile original and restored, and I have restored a few myself.' This is a beautiful car but my impression is that it has 314 miles since restoration. It just looks too nice for 50 years old. I didn't see any shots of the undercarriage. That would be a big factor in verifying originality.

I agree, 314 miles since restoration. Why do people try to pull the wool over peoples eyes. Is everyone that desperate to have a BARN FIND? Just fix it, restore it, and drive the damn thing already. It is a nice resto though.

I have had many 1st Gen Camaro's over the years and all of mine had the PBT markings on the firewall. With this low of miles, where are they on the firewall? Something seems off with this car.

You should have made a quick round the blue 396 next to it!! That looked like a beauty too!!!

My 2011 Camaro SS with this colour combo sits in my garage all the time Its a pain in the ass keeping it clean This 49 yearold car looks factory fresh....makes me wonder.

I’m speechless. Wow just wow . Best one in existence

That's a mind blower for sure. I'll bet the blus SS next to it is not too shabby. Thank You Patrick, great video. 👍

Its amazing to see cars like this still exist, but it is hard to comprehend owning it and not driving it. Its pretty much useless to have. It would be alot of money to have tied up in something that you just walk around and look at.

Surprised to see it parked in such tight quarters. I would be afraid of accidental scratches etc.

Lots of rich people own nice cars and don’t drive them. When I was a kid we lived in a rented house. The landlord ( Frank Read ) didn’t include the garage with the house. I remember one day ( we had been in the house approximately 6 years) he came over and opened the garage. He and a few guys pushed out a yellow car . Turns out Frank had 39 houses he rented out and lots of them had a garage with his car in it. I also remember going to his house and parked behind the motorhome was a 69-70 Mach one Mustang. Turns out back in the day he bought a new tow every year and kept the old one. Years later I went to that house. Frank still liked there. He remembered me. We talked a bit and turns out he sold those cars and most of his houses . He said with a big smile that he did very well on the cars. That’s when I found out the yellow car was a superbee and Frank loved horsepower. True story.

I'm more of a Chevelle man myself but I done fell in love with this one!

Patrick, Thanks for what you do!! You are a Car enthusiast that really really knows what he's talking about!!!!

Missing rivet on the vin plate looks fishy. I never saw one painted over from the factory either.

WOW!!! Has to be the best example of an unrestored MUSSLE car I've ever seen people try to match those factory finishes ....love unrestored cars😁 LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!!!!

Anthony, I had more time this morning to study the engine pics. Definitely been apart. Looking closely at the intake manifold bolts, they are incorrect. That style with the built in washer head are for BBC aluminum intake applications. Small blocks did not use the capture washer style bolts. So the intake has been off. Also the bracket that holds the power brake vacuum hose is not supposed to be painted engine color. The valve covers have a reproduction "oil fill" cap and the valve covers also appear polished. Factory valve covers were a dull cast finish, so these have either been polished or are reproductions that come polished. Of course the throttle return spring is incorrect. Should be a light green and facing rearward of the throttle arm. Reproduction radiator cap etc... I like the car of course, but maybe a bit misrepresented.

The real deal. I’m in awe. Respect to everyone who ever owned this car what a gift to anyone that loves American Muscle. Hat in hand respect wow

I live 10 miles from that dealer, which is not there now. I even bought a car there in the mid 70's.

That car would have had to be in a garage with a dehumidifier to keep the humidity to around 50% to preserve it that well...I have never seen anything like it.

I like that blue with the black vinyle top had one in high school my first car!!! Wow thats some good memories!!!

I’m no guru on these cars but my family were kinda fanatics about muscle cars and I’ve been a mechanic for almost 20 years. But that booster looks way to nice to be sitting all that time! And why is the speedo showing 10mph

Thanks so much for the great great quality video!! A great history lesson for the new kids who dont really know where it all started!

Awesome car. Thanks for bring us this one. Excellent job.

I drive mine. It had the dual four barrel setup when I bought it. That was before they started making them again. Too much fun to let it sit in a garage.

When I was in high school 1971 my friend Jeff bought a orange z/28 with white stripes from a guy getting divorce. Needed$$ Jeff got it for 2200 bucks !! Hope he still has it 😄😄😄

A few things. First off not all Z28's recieved stripes, I can think of a few that are still one owner and never had the stripes. Secondly your car is an X77 (base coupe, no style trim, Z28), but yet it has chrome drip rail moldings and chrome wheel arch moldings? Regardless I love it, especially that endura front bumper.

I love it even though it doesn't have the RS option. I owned a 68 Z/28 in '74 and currently own a 70 Z28 which I bought in 1981.

Looks like the motor has been apart cylinder heads have accessory holes in the front of them. Should have double hump heads 461 or 462 casting.

Unbelievable ! 314 miles , 69 Z28! 😲My all time dream car! Almost hard to imagine but there it is! Thanks for showing this to us!👍

The owner added the wheel well molding because he likes the look of it. But yes it wasn’t born with it. Thanks for watching.

A beautiful car, almost unreal. I was not aware that there were cars with only one rear view outer mirror.

I owned this exact car when I was just out of high school. It was only a few years old. The original motor was in the trunk. I traded a 67 GTO for the Camaro. Motor went to Baker Engineering and I was back on the road..

Found the "Mark Worman" of camaros…. that explains this camaro. The cadmium plating on the brake booster is newer than this video.

Only way to find one like it is travel back in time to a dealer. This car at Barrett Jackson would bring over 2 million. Absolutely stunning.

A great Z28 but it is certainly not the untouched original paint survivor 300 mile Z28 as described. I saw the car at a dealership in the Chicago area in the late ‘80s before it went to the Mecum auction. They had photos from early in its life when it had racing numbers painted on the doors. I don’t know anything about its racing history but it was obvious the car had been re-painted at that time based on the vintage photos and its current condition at that time . The car has added wheewell trim, added roofrail trim and anyone who knows original paint cars knows the factory never painted the inside edge of the fenders under the hood so thoroughly. This area received very little paint on the lower edges from the factory. It had incorrect F70-15 Goodyear Wide Tread GT tires then and currently has incorrect Goodyear Polyglas tires. The engine compartment looked restored back then as it does today with reproduction hood insulation, incorrect alternator bracket, painted engine lift hooks, incorrect intake manifold bolts, incorrect brake master cylinder, complete firewall blackout added and no evidence of the factory inspection stamps P T B, etc. etc.. A great looking original 1969 Z28 just not the “lowest mileage untouched survivor” it’s made out to be.

Awesome videos Patrick. keep up the great work.

Actually the '69 model year ran into Jan or Feb of 1970, hence the '70 1/2 nickname for the 1970 model year, due to the complete redesign of the Camaro.

That is my FAVORITE car. And favorite paint scheme. Thanks for posting this. That car must be a high 6-figure car. I want it!!!! I drive a 2018 RS right now. And I love it. It is my 3rd Camaro that I have owned.

I like the Z-28, but I love the Lemans Blue SS next to it. I don't car if they are less rare.

WOW 😯 original paint, engine, interior etc. What a beauty!

ATTENTION !!!!!! Mr Nichols please respond to my question. This particular question really means a lot to my family if this might be one of 2 that my dad or uncle bought at this time. So my question is who was the original buyer of this camaro in the year 68 to 69? By chance was it someone with the last name of Norman???

Thanks for sharing Patrick, another sweet car!

man,just listen to how the doors close, bet it still smells like new. how can you not want to drive that puppy? we used to wreck those on a Friday night, grab the newspaper and get another one for $500 on Saturday. everybody had them, slam the door and it sounded like a kitchen drawer !lol ! now these things are worth their weight in gold! who knew? obviously this guy did! wow! thank you. ☆☆☆

New drinking game. For sure you'll be drunk in no time at all. every time he uses the word beautiful, take a shot! you'll be passed out before 10 minutes!

Hopefully all the seals and gaskets have stood the test of time.It could turn out to be a nightmare.

Anyone who is calling bs on this guy should watch his other videos, he obviously does his research and knows what he is talking about. I highly doubt Patrick would put his name on something he didnt research and verify himself in depth. Beautiful car! True time capsule!

Wow, stunning car. Great video

This is definitely a WOW CAR! THANK YOU PATRICK NICHOLS!!

All I can sat myself is Wow!!!! What a beautiful car. I currently own a 1969 Camaro Z28 myself. Daytona Yellow with Black Stripes. With the deluxe Interior. They are fantastic cars. My first Camaro was in 1976 . I was 16 years old at that time. It was a 1969 Camaro SS .Bought for the whopping price of $1100.00 I would drive the car myself sparingly for sure. Thanks Patrick for hunting these cars down and doing what you do. I have learned a lot about Chevelle's and other you have posted. Would definitely like to meet up with you in person some day. Thanks Patrick.

They don't come any better and the age and miles just compound the phenomenal value and beauty of this true muscle car . Wish it was mine 🙂

Seems like kind of a waste. These cars were meant to be driven, not hung on the wall like a painting.

The clutch pedal shows wear for only 300 miles

did he say "original paint" ??? that paint looks flawless. Maybe he meant paint code? My dad bought a 69 brand new from the dealer and by the early 80's the paint was checking. It was a california garage queen too with only 37k miles in 85. GM used acrylic lacquer on cars in 69 and lacquer, even the best stuff like PPG, does not hold up over time

Why does window sticker show it came with a AM radio and in the view of the interior it has a AM FM radio , also the antenna it has is the solid FM antenna not the expandable retractable one which came with only AM radios .

Unreal. Let us see underbody of it . Man that's an awesome car. . Congratulations on her.

Thanks, interesting, & suspiciously like “new”. Does look like an “expert conservator kept the CAMARO...Of course, after 50 years now most of the safety systems need replacing & or Maintenance requisites....... time would break down much of rubbers,gasoline tank, lines, interior, etc.: can you imagine old tires(* many EMERGENCEY TIRES MUST be replaced @ seven year intervals*), holding air after 20-30,years, not to,,emotion that 302 engine parts degrading, etc. Lots of resto over the years.....

Wow just wow!! I love the 69 Camaro had one when i was in high school. Never mind all the HATERS they obviously have no brains when it comes to real cars. Thanks for showing this absolute beauty.. Love it!!

Hey Patrick, people who own cars like this do they start the car on a schedule like once a month and let it idle for 5 minutes or so, or drive it around the block every so often. Or is it always going to be a museum type car so it doesn’t matter?

Really nice. Thanks for taking the time to post. Great video. Just subscribed

I think I held my breath the whole time I was watching this video!

Thanks for the video, great info as always. I just don't understand how and why this car can exist. Was it bought and stored for the investment? Was it bought by someone who went to Viet Nam and didn't return home? Do you have anymore history on it besides the paperwork?

If this is authentic,it is quite a treasure,one beautiful car

The 69 camaro is a beauty. It's a work of art. So stylish.

I love all the videos you make. If I could make a suggestion though, I wish you would tell how much horsepower the cars have along with Est. 0-60 and 1/4 mile. Also elaborate on the options a little more, like some SS have a tacometer and some do not. How many do vs how many donts? Anyway, you should write a book you are obviously an expert

This is just amazing man. Spectacular car.

Should be able to get this car easily certified then, by a credentialed Camaro z28 expert.

At 7:27 in the video, it shows cast iron exhaust manifolds. This car should have come with a box, in the trunk with headers in it, to be installed by the owner. Are they still in the trunk?

I had a 69 Rally Sport Z28 in hugger orange and three Indy pace cars with a 396 and one 375hp so I know these cars pretty well. Sure does look like a restoration but I'm not going to call it through the angle of a camera. He seems to have all the history for it so I would bet it's what he says it is. I'm sure every mile ever put on that car was known if it was at one of those high buck auctions

Why does it have wheel well molding? X-77 was a base Z/28.

I have some difficulty with this. I believe the paint is original, lacquer can be buffed out. But you're telling me that this car hasn't had any touch up work done? Was it kept in a hermetically sealed, humidity controlled environment? If it wasn't, then corrosion would've shown up somewhere, like the brake booster or the master cylinder. Age alone would've caused the hoses to dry up and start cracking. Original it may be, but someone did some restoration work on this. Still a beautiful car though.

"crazy" is the right word to describe this car. Wow! A time capsule.

nice looking Z for sure all original 314 miles? i have my doubts

Yeah, that's just about 600 Stock class runs on the dragstrip before restoration.

Very nice car. No doubt that it has been heavily detailed to look this fresh. I am amazed at some of the so called "Chevrolet experts" comments.

I doubt the stickers would be that pristine from 1969 until now.

Where's the center console? I've never seen a Z28 without the gage cluster and center console. I had a 69 Z28 that I bought in 1970, loved that car.

Anthony, while I too would question the originality, I can't say for sure without seeing it in person. But the engine compartment does give me the initial impression it's been fluffed. Body tags weren't necessarily body color (mine isn't and is unrestored) but what does raise question is how the transition from black out to body color is too perfect. Norwood never spent a lot of time here making a nice mask line. It was more of a template laid over. Depending on the build date the amount of body color and black out varied throughout production. Sometimes you saw body color as low as the trim tag, sometimes a light mist of color, sometimes not so much, but what you never saw is a really nice mask line and paint transition, however cars today are over restored in this area. The other paint detail that jumps out at me is the stripes. GM would spray the stripe color under the cowl before it was installed so it would blend with the stripes under the grill. On all original paint cars I've viewed and have pictures of, they almost always have some of the stripe color exposed under the cowl panel because this paint process was not masked. This is even more noticeable on a white stripe car such as this. I would expect to see some white paint coming out from under the cowl panel on the top portion of the firewall. Again, many today are over restored in this area. On my original 69 Z, the gloss black paint sprayed under the cowl to match the black stripes actually comes out from under the cowl panel all the way over to the top edge of the firewall, so the entire top of my firewall is gloss black, then transitions to a semi black on the vertical surface. Lastly, I see no remnants of any paint, body, trim (PBT) ink stampings on the firewall anywhere. Hope that helps.

Love these vintage GM muscle cars. What is the difference between the Z28 and the RS. I got to ride in an RS many many times. It still brings back the most wonderful memories .

Beautiful car it’s amazing that it is not restored. Such a rare find. 😊

very nice restoration.........

I really thought this was Matthew McConaughey talking in the first half of the video

Hard to beleive. This Z would have to be inspected further than this to be beleiveable.

I've never understood how or why anyone would or could ever buy a car like this and hardly ever drive it. It's like marrying a beautiful young girl, and never taking her to bed. What's the point? There was a "Chasing Classic Cars" episode where a guy found and bought his dream car with very low miles. Had it delivered to his house, put it in his garage and never drove it anywhere. He died and his widow was selling it, saying he pulled it out to wash it every now and then. Sad.

Sorry, this is a resto. The ID plate painted, the colorcoded bumpers etc are a dead giveaway. Probably a genuine Z28. And seems a very nice car BUT not all original.

How did this guy keep this car so pristine condition. Not even dusty?

I remember seeing this car in a garage in a sub division in Cullman AL. In the early 90's.

I didn't know Matthew McConaughey was into classic American muscle..
