Beautiful car, I always loved the 2nd gen Z28’s 😎

I love these f-body videos. Thanks for sharing.

I would like to see more on the 1969 Pontiac firebird 400. That's a badass car Thanks for all you do in the videos you produce keep them coming.

I owned a red Z28 just like this one. I should have kept it.

I had one. 81, black with silver stripes, t-tops, 350 automatic.

My Junior year of Hi Skool 1983 I was lucky enough to get a repo 1978 gold/tan interior Ttop Z28 for $1200 from a bank my aunt worked at, was fully loaded with power locks & windows, A/C, AM/FM cassette & of course the 350 4bbl auto & kept it til 1988 when I got me a new black/black Trans Am GTA! That one is sweet, looks just like the one a chic I was banging in the early '90s was still driving! I had to have mine after the 1982 movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High Charles Jefferson {Forrest Whitaker} got one before Spicoli {Sean Penn} totaled it ✌💖☮

Loved those cars as a kid & would love to have one now , but the 305 is a boat anchor ,,, had one in my 84 Z28 & it was slow as molasses.

Wow JC, a 42/43 year old car (depends on the month build date) with just 7000 miles on the clock, has roughly only been driven around 162 miles a year, that's a time capsule. 😎👍

I believe Z28's in 81 came stock with Good years?? Not BF's. Correct me if I'm wrong. Great Vidoe Guys. Love these Zeeez.

LOVED this car then and now with this one ! Also love the 2 -tone red / black interior ! I'd probably just look at it all day ❤🧡🖤🤍

Great looking Z

Very nice F-Body fore sure, an episode on that Nissan 280Z would be awesome.

Awesome jc!!! Thanks again for new episodes!!!

Another vote for the black Firebird!

Very Nice Z28!❤

The comment about Canada not caring about gas mileage is incorrect. The 81 4-spd Z28 got the 305 because of the strict emission laws in California.

"IN Canada" we did care about fuel milage.... we were just smarter than Californian's (gov't people) and knew that the 350 achieved the same or better milage then the 305 in this era, and was so much more fun. I know. I grew up with these cars.

Nice!! Z28. I just got a 1980 Z28 Camaro that was built in Canada with only 28500 miles on it . Man I love the 2nd gen Camaro I know they weren't much on horsepower but as a kid in the 80s these are the cars we drove and cruised in.

It actually came out in 78. I had a 79. You are correct about the air intake that came out I believe in 80. Quaility was not great. The door handles broke constantly. The rear spoiler didn’t line up on one side. My 79 did have a 350 cu. In. But yes it was a great head turner and did get me some female attention. Oh to be 17 again.

I enjoyed the video, good content, Love the second gen Camaro and they are still fairly affordable for a solid builder but deff going up in price. My first car way back in 88 was a beat up 74 that I bought for only 900 bucks, fixed it up, drove it for a while then traded it for a truck, always regretted it but I made up for my mistake and found another 74 three years ago thats nearly finished, makes me feel like a kid again. Greetings to all the second gen Camaro owners

I was 12 in 1982... We weren't wealthy by any means, my parents had built a house from scratch, sold it to relocate to another state for work & were able to treat themselves with the extra equity they established... We bought a Silver with dark grey stripes 1982 Z28 with the 305 Cross fire injection power plant... In late 81 & early 82 it was the one... I remember us Pulling up to our bank as we were closing accounts getting ready to move. We parked beside an 81 Z28, white just like yours only with blue stripes... They were both brand new & I remember thinking, if I was old enough to drive, which would I take?...They were both absolutely gorgeous...but Lets be clear...The 1988 350 IROC was the Z28 Prom Queen...

This 81 Z28 is the pretty car I ever seen

I HAD A 1980 DARK BLUE Z28 GOT IT NEW

67 and up Camaros could be optioned with a space saver spare with inflator canister. FYI. Crazy I know.

I bought a 81' Z-28 black silver. Stripes brand new off showroom floor early 81'. 4spd , 305, black interior, non-t-top, black 5-spoke steel wheels. The only ( NEW) car I've ever bought til this day!. I traded a 75' black / yellow rally/sport 350, 4-spd, Camero for the 81' Z-28. One thing I noticed when showing the white 81' Z-28 you were showing the red int. The little z-28 badge on concrete in front of windows switch was not: stock!. I think the aluminum wheels were optional. I sold my Z-28 IN 2017' .

My buddy has the same Camaro same paint and decals we put a ls1 and 6spd in it but nothing is hacked apart all looks factory

The 81 Camaro Z-28's looked nice but were really slow. A friend of mine owned one and 0-60 in about 8 seconds.

I have an '81 "Canadian Special" 5.7 litre D5A, 4 speed, 342 posi, power window, tilt, t-top Z28. in original dark brown metallic with 35,000 km or 22,000 miles. 1 of 3025 that came to Canada. cheers🇨🇦

Had a 81 Z28 black with red stripes, t tops aluminum rims.😊

They were available in a convertible , but thru a dealer optioned(sent to a company that made them convertible. Seen a couple in person, really hard to look at, just didn’t look like it belonged.

In 1981, if your Z28 had an automatic transmission it had the 5.7 engine. If your Z28 came with a standard transmission you could only get 5.0 engine.

Super cool car but I'm not paying big bucks for a 180 hp. Whoever purchased that with a 4 speed was thinking

Fun to drive but only 165 HP 😁. You need a hairy chest and a gold coin hanging on it when you drive this. Maybe some lamb chops. It’s in beautiful condition! Cars of this era are difficult to restore because of all the aging plastic inside, so low mileage originals are about the only nice ones you see.

I have a 1980, hugger orange z28, 350 4 speed, 20000mls, 0 mods , all stock,drag raced it, 15.4 in 1/4 mile. Not much slower than most earlier muscle cars.

It definitely is a time capsule that's for sure. I just couldn't like them because of the smog-era 305. 160HP was something left to be desired. We didn't start seeing any performance gains till 1985.

Very nice car, however you can’t say all original once it has been painted .

If you sold half grams in high school this is what you drove! 👃🏻❄️🎱 😂

I had one 81, white cream with gold stripes with the 350 4 barrels automatic and t-top, I parked it in a mall parking lot got inside half an our later it was gone, stolen.

My brother had a red with tan interior and gold wheels t top 1980 with 350 4 speed cowl induction and I had a 1981 trans am I got stupid and sold mine and my brother got sick with cancer and sold his I wish I would’ve bought it But I was young and dumb I kick myself all time for sale my ta

Lots of bad information in this one: 1) This car was featured by Steve Magnante at High Octane Classics already, so it came from there. 2) No, the 350 V8 was available in the US in 1981 in the Camaro. You could only get it with an automatic in 1981 in the US. 3) No, the BFG tires are not original. They were replaced. Yes, the speedometer was replaced as it would have an 85 MPH speedometer. 1980 and up cars were required to have a 85 MPH speedometer. 4) No, the 5th digit of the VIN being a "P" does not denote that it is a Z-28. It means Camaro (Sport Coupe, "S" in this position is Berlinetta). The VIN gets the win: 1 for US assembly, G for General Motors, 1 for Chevrolet, A for manual seat belts, P for Camaro Sport Coupe, 87 for two door coupe, H for 305 V8 with four barrel, RPO code "LG4", 2 is a check digit, B for the 1981 model year, L for Van Nuys, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Van Nuys plant was among the worst in the GM system and closed in 1992. I decoded the entire car at the video that Mr. Magnante did. 5) No, the VIN sequence doesn't necessarily tell you what date it was built. It depends on how the production sequences fell in line. The cowl tag under the hood will tell you what month and week of that month the vehicle was produced in. This particular one was made on Monday April 27, 1981. 6) West End Chevrolet (where it was invoiced to) was located at 110 South Street in Waltham, MA. Today this is a restaurant called 99 Restaurants.

Is this for sale ? And how much? ?

50 grand is a little much. Nice but a 305.
