I was Richards neighbor, I remember the day he drove that car home from the dealership, everybody knew he was getting a new Z28 camaro so we were all waiting to see it. I was only 11 years old so when he told me to get in lets go for a ride I was pretty excited. That was his baby and he took good care of it, I did not think his wife would ever sell it. All I can tell you Dennis is that car is the REAL DEAL original Z28, I would love to see it when your done getting it cleaned up and driving.

So many years after his passing he is given such respect by all involved. Mr Zollo must have been as cool as his car!

i'm not a hard core chevy guy but that z/28 is sharp and very special. but more remarkable is the charming family and the touching respect given by sharing those family photos.

My father ordered a 69 z28 from Scuncio, ss/rs package rally green w/white stripes. Raced it for 3yrs before selling it. He tried to buy a car from another chevy dealer but they wouldn't honor the warranty because he wanted to race. When he talked to Bob Johnson he told him no problem we will even help you out.

It's hard to watch Dennis in action without thinking of the word "CLASS" because his demeanor is the definition of it.

Unfortunately, a young sailor with a wife & two kids in 1972 didn't have much "play-money" in the budget. Of course, while I'm sitting around reading all the Hot Rod Magazines and anything else I could find on Vega Performance, I came across an ad from Grumpy Jenkins and his engine swap kit. He was stuffing a 350 V8 in the Vega and making what looked like a great toy. I never got to see one but the write-ups were a hell of a tease!!

He passed away so young. It is incredible that the car was kept immaculate oh so many years since he passed.

I graduated HS in ‘71. Lived through the muscle car era. Dad had a car lot so I had some nice hi po cars. Ordered a “71 with 4.10’s T400 and no PS. Red with black stripes. Worked at a Texaco gas station and kept those lifters set and in tune constantly. Drag and street raced the hell out of that car. Best time with slicks was 13.60’s and think i paid around $3200 for the car. Thanks Dennis. Brought back memories

One of my favorite video's! My mom sold her 71 RS/Z28 (Split Bumper) Silver W/Black Stripes for $700 to our neighbor about 30 years ago. What a mistake that was

I live about 10 min from where you picked up that car. Back in the early 70's Scuncio was the place to go for High Performance Cevy parts. I bought 70 1/2 Z28 370Hp (solid cam) shot block from them for my 68 Camaro right over the parts counter. That car you got is super cool and a peice of history! Nice video!

Great video. I actually own this car's slightly older brother....born 4th week of Dec. 1971. Also an original drivetrain Z-28 with an LT-1, M-21 4-speed and 4.10 rear. Only a quarter of those 2,575 '72 Z-28s were configured like that, and I can't imagine more than a handful remain with everything intact. Great find...truly the very last "muscle car" before the era faded entirely into the malaise of the mid-70s.

One of the best Coffee Walks I have seen yet. And not far from this Masshole!!!. I can recall back in 69-70 growing up in Hull and my babysitter married a sailor who was stationed at the old Weymouth naval airbase. After they got married, They had matching Gen 2 Z28s in the green with gold stripes and both 4 speeds. Based on the time and fact that my family moved from hull in the 1970 holiday season I swear they were the 69 1/2 year models. Prior to these he had a C3 corvette. The last time I saw them in the early 80s He was stationed in New London and she had a Renault LE'Car. Obviously he was the only muscle car fanatic in that marriage. Bet they wish they still had those camaros. I sure do. BTW, he was originally from Texas before joining the navy

I am originally from Pascoag RI which is also in Burrillville and the food is second to none. Nice find Dennis. They took good care of that car.

At lunch after the sale, at a restaurant I handed his wife an envelope with 1000 bucks in it and told her that since I was talking away a car they had years of memories with, I wanted them to go out someplace nice later on, and have a new memory, on me. When we're talking the type of money you save for a really nice car, it's not a big deal to budget that sort of thing in. I mean X dollars for travel, X dollars for transport...all your money isn't going to the car anyway. So setting aside a nice surprise is sort of easy.

I'm 68. Graduated from High School in 1973, San Francisco Bay Area. I had about 10-15 Cars dated 1950-1975 in those years and sold all of them. Going to College, limited parking, maintenance etc requires you to make decisions.

This story struck a note of nostalgia for me. I special ordered (from a dealer) 2 different Z/28s. First one, a '69, had the cowl induction hood, no console, M21, wooden steering wheel, 4:10 Posi and a fold - down rear seat. It was frost green, black stripes and dark green, standard interior. Later, I added a '63 Rochester fuel injection unit and front bumper guards to it. Second Z was a '73 LT. The LT option overrode any Z/28 badges, so it appeared to be an ordinary Camaro. It also had no console, no rear spoiler and was automatic on the column!!! All of that made it a real sleeper.

This truly is going to be an outstanding video!! You see, when I was a kid in the late '70s, an older kid around the corner had a Camaro just like this one in the video thumbnail!! It had Cragar SS wheels and a loud exhaust. He worked at a nearby Sohio station, and one time when I was there, he told me he'd lost his license... And at some point, he even had a tunnel ram on it. I loved that car, but I don't remember if it was a Z28 or an SS, or which year it was. But it definitely didn't have the RS package. That dark green and white is about my favorite color combo on '67-'73 Camaros, and perhaps Chevelles.

Beautiful car : I bought a brand new 1971 Z28 the same color with jade interior ,4-speed 410 posi and high performance package. I drove it from Wi. to Ca.and back , stopped for fuel about every 3 hours . It was one of my favorite cars among the many that I had .

You guys are making me hungry! That is a beautiful example of a Z28. I swear I saw that car cruising around back in the day, but it has so few miles on it that she probably didn't make it down to Narragansett/First Beach that often. What a great video!

Back in the early 1970s I remember seeing a 1973 bright red with white stripes Z28 . The car sit under a car port attacked to the house. Across the street from my mom and dad's house. I was a teenager then . My older brother said the car had a low gear in it for drag racing stop light to stop light. It was a 4 speed car he said. The car never moved. I guess they bought it to look at. Beautiful car . These are some of the sharpest looking cars of that Era. My brother had a 1972 trans am. It was a strike car .low production car . Blue with white stripes. 455ho . This video brings back good memories of seeing a 1972 car. Great video. I'm glad Dennis is getting this car .you know it be taken care of. Like these people did.

My first car was a 1975 Camaro, 350/th350, L88 hood scoop, and hugger orange. That was 1988 and I was 17. I got a speeding ticket the first day i had it on the road. This reminded me of that car. Great episode guys and a classy tribute to the original owner at the end. If my math is right, he passed at the age of 35. Too young. Proof that these cars, if loved, will live on after we are gone.

I learned to drive a stick on a very similar 1972 Z-28, mine was yellow, and it took me about three weeks to start out in first without burning rubber. Crazy amount of power.

Mr Richard Zollo definitely went to young. What a great family.

Great car! If I'm not wrong, 3 point shoulder belts only started very early January 72, with fasten seatbelt warning light. I would've loved to see a bit more of interior and engine under daylight!...

I've got a 72 Z28 that sat in my garage for the last 30 yrs. I'm finally bringing it back to life

Gator’s Pub. That place is awesome. 😊 I noticed when Sean was reading the odometer to Dennis and said 444, that Donna chuckled as she made the connection that Richard was having a bit of fun with her, as the physical address of the house 🏡 is also 444.

Dennis, how do you flip a car like that? I know it’s a business for you, the story of that car is very emotional. I got choked up at the end. I don’t know as a family if I could’ve let that car leave the family. Crazy

awesome episode Dennis. The final moments were a very nice touch.

As a local I can tell you 446 Putnam Pike in Greenville RI is now an Applebee's! It was cool hearing the history of where this was ordered, never knew it existed!

That family really did something special to preserve that car. And Gators wins restaurant of the year, what a spread !!! Blessings all around !!!😊

Wow ... drove up and down that road over the years and never saw that camaro. Guess it's been garaged awhile. I used to buy my parts at that dealership on RT44. We hung out at the A&W root beer with our hot rods and musle cars, which was practically next door.

Every episode just gets better, and that's from the UK. Absolute respect

Love the videos Dennis, always a class act, always pay full price, always paying for dinner. This is a pretty rare car indeed, a strike car no less, you your family and crew have a wonderful holiday, watching from Michigan.

After watching, I'm even more amazed. Wow, a 72' special order in original condition with 32,444 original miles. Just the condition of the car is confirmation that there is no way that's 132,444 miles. I noticed the exhaust in front of rear tires. He must have done that when headers were put on. The bar is high for next yr already. 😮😁 I bet the 1156, 1157 bulbs are original, too.

I live just a few miles from that location in North Smithfield. I own a restored Hugger Orange 1969 Z/28, 46k miles. Not a Scuncio car though. The paperwork with that car was awesome to see. The steering wheel selection on that car has to make it a one of one!

Such a beautiful car that survived because it was owned by a great family. Hopefully it can be kept as original as possible

I used to own 2 1972 Camaros, one was an RS. Both were great cars, easy to work on, modify, and fun to drive. I would pay a LOT of money to buy a car like this, even if it needed some restoration and an engine rebuild.

In '73, I bought a 1972 4 speed Z28 from Sir Walter Chev Dealership in Raleigh NC, color blue w. black stripes. It had, I believe, the "deluxe" interior(?), center console, black interior w. wood grain gauge/interior trim. The steering wheel was totally different, more sporty.

Great to see you Dennis. Beautiful car and as usual, awesome video. Many thanks for everything and Happy Christmas to you, your family and all the “Coffee Walk” staff.🎄

Seriously, I just want to go EAT with DENNIS.... especially if there's Bang Bang Shrimp!!!!

I would definitely like to have dinner and discuss cars with Dennis! I think we’re one of many who would like to do it.

ONE OF THE VERY BEST COFFEE WALK EPISODES. BEAUTIFUL FAMILY‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸

That’s a stuffed quoahog. A very large clam. So good, and you have or had clam cakes, those puff fried things. So good

The ending was completely unexpected yet a class act. It was obviously hard to sell it but dennis softened the situation.

*****Dennis, this message is for you! I hope you enjoy our story about Scuncio Chevrolet and our time there!! Oh wow, can’t believe this car surfaced. What a trip down memory lane!!! My brother now 68, and me 72 years old. Dennis, let me give you some provenance on Scuncio Chevrolet! The dealership was owned by Eddie Scuncio and Ralf Capolla Sr.(related to Scuncio through marriage). The Cappola family, lived in my neighborhood, North Smithfield, RI. My brother Bob and I (Dennis) worked at this dealership through our teenage years, during the time this car sold. (1968 - 1974). My brother Bob exclusively did the new car prep during this period, so there is no question that Bob prepped this car for delivery. I on the other hand did all sorts of jobs at the dealership, such as new inventory delivery checkin, so it was me who checked in this car after it was unloaded from Anchor Motor freight. Assigning it a stock number, and putting on key tag with the set of keys for ID, so the hand writing on the key tag you showed is my handwriting, turning in the paper work such as the warranty plate and owners manuals along with factory paper work and the MSO, to the office manager, Miss. Linda Parr ( absolutely a stunning blond, who I can say I had the pleasure of dating for a short time.) I also did car swaps with other H.P. Chevy dealers in southern New England. Finally settled in the dealership body shop, where I learned the body repair trade. Ralf Cappola Sr. Had two children a girl (Cindy) and a son Ralf Jr. who was two years older than my brother Bob and 2 years younger than me. Bob and Ralf used to hang out all the time and remained good friends for a number of years, until they lost touch. In fact when Scuncio sold out Ralf Sr. & Ralf Jr. bought another Chevy dealership in Burrilville (Village of Pascoag, RI), where Bob worked for the family a number of years more. The names of some of the people I had the pleasure of working with at the time came flooding back as Bob and I watched this episode. A little history about Bobby Johnson, he was the practical joker of the dealership, and you could never expect his next prank victim. One day my brother and I decided to one up him in pranks, (Bobby was a neat freak, and despised disorder, his desk and its draws were always perfectly organized.) So one morning, early (before the sales people showed up at 9:00). We memorized the placement of everything on his desk top, to be placed back exactly as we found it. We tipped the desk upside down, the draws were all locked except the top center drawer that didn’t lock. Where we carefullylll placed a dead bird in the center top drawer among his pens and such, as we always had suicide birds who flew into the showroom windows. Righted his desk, and placed everything back in the places we found it. We then let all the sales staff know what we had done, as well as office staff, management and service personnel know what we did, as I believe no one had escaped a Bobby Johnson prank. There was no limit on who Bobby would prank even the owners. The anticipation was incredible, everyone was waiting for Bobby Johnson to show up. Just like clock work he showed up at 8:55 with coffee in hand. The entire dealership had stopped working and was waiting for his reaction. He unlocked his desk and found all the draws in disarray, he looked up to see who the potential prankster was to find every eye in the building looking at him. The ensueing laughter, I’m sure it could be heard from 2 blocks away. As he said “you got me, who are the perpetrators!” That pretty much ended Bobby Johnson’s pranks after that incident. He wasn’t angry, but more so embarrassed that he had been one upped! A custom among the sales staff was doing “Filp ya for a buck”, all the sales staff carried silver dollar coins and would flip each other for ownership of the others coin, it was almost a daily pastime when showroom traffic was slow. It’s been almost 50 years since I worked there, but the fond memories of the people Bob and I worked with still linger. The Cappola’s always treated us like family, and we were both welcome in their home, on many occasions we were invited to have a seat at the table and share a meal with the family, particularly around holidays. Their home was my brothers and my home away from home. When our dad died in 1970, the whole family came to pay their respects. One final story about my days at Scuncio Chevrolet, in 1971 I was going to escort my girlfriend (Ellen) to her junior prom. The day of the prom Ralf called me into his office to tell me I could leave early that day, but not before he gave me a $50.00 bill and the keys to a new 1971 Chevelle SS (Ralf Jr’s soon to be his daily ride) to use for prom night, with the understanding that Elen and I stopped at their home for pictures before heading to prom. There are not enough good things I can say about the Cappola family and how they treated everyone in their employment, but I think Bob and I held a special place in their hearts for us. Bob and I both agree, if you choose you can send the key tag and some other piece of paperwork which we will be happy to autograph to add to the provenance of the car. Just reach out with an e mail so I can provide an address you can mail what you would like autographed, it would be our pleasure to have our names enshrined in the provenance of this car’s history. Bob and I both enjoy watching your show, but this episode had a special significance. We love what you do and look forward to each episode, although we are both getting on in years we are still car guys at heart! Much love; Dennis & Bob Dumas

Friend of mine bought a 73 Z28 from Sconzio in 73. Same set up. I was driving a 70 LS 6 M21 Chevelle. Blue white stripes. Fun cars. He got stuck on the Southeast expressway in Boston and said his leg was shaking from the pressure of the clutch. Stall and crawl.

What a wonderful story, Dennis is a true gentleman and what a nice tribute to the original owner. I’m from Rhode Island and have followed this channel for years, so glad to see this story, hits home. God bless.

Great find of a beautiful car from what looks like a great family. The car couldn’t have ended up in better hands with Dennis and his team but I can’t help but think that if it was my dads car that he purchased new and a cool muscle car at that I wouldn’t let it go.

A very good coffee walk to say the least !!! My older brother had a 1972 Z28, metallic brown with white strips 350/ 375 hp. I believe it had an M22 rock crusher 4 speed trans. I got my very first speeding ticket in it. I wish i could find that car. Also I don't think that there has been an episode with as many different kinds and delicious appetizers as this place had. Merry Christmas Dennis and to all of your family and crew. Cheers Cameron Miller Ontario Canada

Great find once again! I've got to correct you on one thing Dennis, your pronunciation of "Berger" Chevrolet. It's not Berg-er It's sounds like Ber-Jer. I went to College up in Michigan, and lived in GrandRapids where the dealership is located on 28th street. My friend worked there too. I was corrected many times before I got it right. I only mention this because I know you love information and want to get it right 👍

Dennis ,incredible class act paying tribute,the previous owner...
