By the way, in the game Forza Horizon 5, the roar of this Camaro is so cool that it impresses me for a 1979 car.

5:21 Awesome power!!!

This interior is as example of how today's cars should be done, beautiful colors and materials, I love those power window buttons in the control panel between the seats too ! I have a 2002 SLP SS and its power and handling is still way above average but the interior is just the weakest point of those cars, black and no character to it and prone or all kinds of sun damage :(

I had a 79 Z28 with a 4 speed stick .The sound of the car in this video made me remember what it sounded like.I want another now.

I graduated High School, Buffalo, N.Y. 1986. At this time a car like that would have been a dime a dozen, yet, I still love them, and you have a great example of the 79' Camaro in it's prime.

I know a guy who had an 80 Camaro. Dude took years to get it all fixed up. It was his baby. Cammed 350, 5-speed, chromed everything that could be chromed, nice paint, Immaculate interior, the works! It was really nice and scary powerful. This car was gorgeous! Car-show material! Ran like a champ and sounded soo good. A 2nd Gen Camaro-lovers wet dream.. But... * loud sigh * He gave it to his son who mercilessly beat the hell out of it. Chopped up the dash to put in a DVD stereo, sawed holes in the interior to install more speakers and sub-woofers, for his (c)rap "music". He plastered it with cheap, stick-on stripes, and "No Fear!" stickers etc, with skulls and shit like that. He chopped a hole in the roof to put in some cheap leaky sunroof he got out of a truck in a junkyard. The kid just ruined the car. Whooped it on gravel roads, sliding and doing donuts. Less than 6 months after this kid got the car, it had dents and scrapes, the interior was trashed and filthy. Stained with spilled Mountain Dew. It stunk of mildew from the leaky sunroof, and of moldy french-fries and half-eaten burgers tossed into the floor, and of the well used, meth-head/crack-whore chicks he banged. The engine smoked and knocked. This kid pissed me off so bad that I stopped going anywhere near him. 12 years of work, love, blood, tears and time, to get that Camaro to be the beauty it was, and some punk destroys it in 2 years. Freaking... Tragic! Last time I saw the car it was beaten to hell, stripped out, had a mis-matched drivers door, and sitting in the mud at a junk-yard 2 years after he got it. Lesson to be learned: Don't give your douchebag, male-slut, punk kid a nice car, when the the only thing he ever cared about was a tv game system. Dude, if by some strange chance you're reading this, (you know who you are) I shoulda' slapped the dog piss outa' you, and your dad should have stuck his foot down your throat. At least you are no longer desecrating a classic, and now you drive a car that you honestly deserve to drive... A rusted out and battered, heap of a Dodge Neon with the "Trash Dumpster" interior. It's basically Adam Sandlers' "P.O.S. Car" with the clear plastic duct-taped over the busted side window. .. You moron.

what a beautiful car, the sound of the V8 to the old school interior is just awesome.

That’s my favorite muscle car of all time 78-81 Camaro my father had one bad ass car

Next to the 69 and 72 body styles I love this one as well. I’ve driven a 76 TA and a 78 Camaro. Both were fun as hell.

Had a souped up Monte Carlo that I wrecked unfortunately but man it was fast. it was the only really old car I ever owned.

I love that camaros share characteristics thru the generations that only the drivers would know about. 1 example is that turn signal sound. My 69 and 97 and this 79 here all have the same sound

Makes me miss my 1978 Z28 white w matching color wheels. Similar interior color.

You can always reinstall one in a new modern car no? I don’t know much about cars but I’m pretty sure that clicking is based on a switch that activates a relay. Essentially, that clicking noise is a relay clicking open and close based on the switch.

I guess the 79 didn't have the Z/28 badges on the gas fill door or the front grill like the 78 had on it

This a rad asz rife. My mom drove a 79 until 96

I had a 79 black not a Z28 automatic that was good car n power was decent for a 305 4 barrel

Beautiful Camaro inside and out.

I miss the small dashboards we used to have. You could actually see the hood out of the windshield

My grandma used to have one of these in a beautiful blue. always wanted to restore it

That’s the same steering wheel design I had in my 1986 Cavalier when I was in college. Also if I remember correctly, the rims of that era Z28 were used again on the 86-88 Monte Carlo SS.

@ henry computer The '80-'81 Z-28 had 15" N90 wheels as optional(these are the wheels Raider19er is referring to). Base '80-'81 Camaros(non-Z-28 models) offered a 14" version of the N90 wheel but are extremely rare. Later '86-'88 Monte Carlo SS wheels are different in the offset, back spacing and the wheel lip, so while they look similar, they are very different.
