I am an older Chevy enthusiast since the 1960's, having owned my share of some of the good ones and I have to rate this KZfaq channel as the best one for correct and accurate information from a real pro and great presentations of the cars he is discussing. It's a real pleasure to spend time here and walk around the cars with Parker. Very enjoyable and for Chevy guys a real treat of our favorite stuff. Thanks for your great videos.

The ah problems with this is people actually listen and praise these morons. I have I have an OEM convertible RS SS with a non OEM 396 is how I got that car cheap with a blown up motor. It is one rare care with the black top orange outlined black seat interior which we did not replace the seats they are pristine. The motor is a really rare 396 2 4BBL we kept the two side to side mounted Holley carbs and tried to trace the cast iron intake to an MFG which we could not. That was how I got the car in 1985 pristine more or less a scuff on the right front bumper. I replaced the engine made it all correct. Most of these alleged GEMS are altered stuff.... The reasons I go hooyey at this sheet. I have seen these concourse cars and they are all mostly redone not an OEM condition car not all not the belts not the hoses and after all who wants Horse Sheet okay.... This all BS BS... Total garbage. I live this life and know better... Sheet can your praises... We just brought a car home from the grave today.. Right front brake caliper locked up... Guess what it ain't OEM no more... Now go blow smoke up some eleses ass now... Some of these cars R deff enigma cars... Especially when GM made non recorded factory intakes factory brake parts and suspension even sway bar packages U cannot even locate. My RS SS has a rear sway bar... Even after market parts companies did not make that stuff back in the early 80's... In fact they were just coming out with that some of it not all of it.

My father had a 67 corvette 427 390 HP. It had what he called a speed alert on the speedometer it could be set at any speed by a knob ( I forget the exact location) under the speedometer. When the car hit that speed it would start buzzing. I haven’t thought of that option for many years. Great video!!

@dannypeterson4739 Жыл бұрын

that was a speed alert option for a 69 camaro . When I was looking for parts back in the day { late 70s} I found the speed alert .lying on the ground at DOMS auto wreckers in Oshawa, I installed and it worked! you set the dial { which has a seperate needle in the speedometer } and what ever speed you set to when you reach that speed a buzzer alarm will sound off. The light monitoring system was also rare, fold down rear seat, heres another one you could also get a de icing unit installed which sprayed a antifreeze mixture on the rear tires of your Beloved 69 Camaro I had a pair of the original cannisters just couldnt locate de icing unit not that I would want to try this option on this car! Great Video !

The man with the 17,000 mile Camaro talks about the speed control option. It is called speed warning. It is a yellow pointer in the speedometer that you could adjust to your desired speed for the buzzer to come on. And it is a buzzer that gets your attention. The buzzer comes on gradually not simply an on/off.

A friend of mine had a COPO Camaro for decades in his garage. He bought it for his first car and used to go cruising with it and drove it to high school. He drag-raced it a bit then parked it. By chance word got around that he had one. The person who tracked him down worked for several years to get him to sell it, but he always wanted to get it back on the road to drive himself. Eventually he was made an offer he couldn't refuse and sold it. I don't know how much but it was so much he has never regretted selling it. I do know that once it was fully restored it went through Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. He was invited out to see it cross the block.

Back in the late '80s I saw a Camaro for sale at the Pomona swap meet that I've never forgotten. It was a '69 RS/SS 396, 4-speed convertible. Garnet Red with a black top and black interior with the houndstooth cloth inserts. It had the cowl induction hood, rear spoiler, front spoiler and Endura bumper. It had a posi rear, power steering, JL8 4-wheel disc brakes, power windows and power top. It also had the rosewood steering wheel and tinted glass. The paint and interior were original and in really great condition. The original window sticker was on display and the asking price was $25K. Although I was/am a Mopar guy I always liked the first and second gen Camaros. I wish I had bought that one.

You really know your Camaros. Impressed with all the information. I actually owned a 1970. Nothing special other than bought it from the original owner. Had the original paperwork. Red with black interior, auto trans, and 307. Had something like 31k original miles when I bought it...back in 1984.

I have had a hand in restoring many Camaros, Chevelles, Corvettes, Impalas, and 55 to 57 Chevys (incl the Peggy Sue got married 58 Impala convertible), Which brings me to the Hockey stick stripe on 69 Camaros. At shows and auctions I have seen many stripes that end at the seem between the fender and the lower valance.. Which we thought was wrong as they should end near the body crease in the valance below the seem. But after seeing them both ways we got to wondering if it was an early/ late thing, or assembly plant variations?

Awesome video! Tons of information. Tons of great cars. How can you tell if a 69 SS was an original big block car? I have the dual exhaust hanger, the brake valve under the driver door, and the dual fuel lines. I was told it's an original 396 car but what can I look for to make sure?

Motor mounts, transmission cross member, x code behind the rear seat.. 12 bolt, multi leaf rear, heater box, 1 fuel line if 375

No z l 1s. I met a fellow friend in Quebec who owned a zl1 when New. He told me stories of out running Florida troopers in 69. I didn't ask enough questions on what happened to it. I also met another Canadian who owned and raced 1 of 2 69 zl1 corvette s at bowmanville road corse track near Toronto Ontario . The legendary motor car shop had 2 zl1 Camaro s a few years ago. 1 was the orange original engine 1 from I think barret jackson
