1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Description

This 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 convertible represents a significant step back into the muscle car wars. But all you really need to know right now is this is a pristine drop top with serious V8 power, only 56K original miles, and it's available at exceptional value price.

1996 is the first year for the return of the iconic Super Sport name to the Camaro so the reasons for making this car into an SS Tribute are obvious.. There's no mistaking this package for lesser cars with its massive hood scoop force feeding the LT1 underneath. Just as Hugger Orange was a legendary color for first-generation Camaros, these fourth gen cars are best viewed in Dark Purple Metallic. It's almost like the Chevy development team asked, "How much deeper and meaner can we get than just red?" And when the factory paint is this well preserved, you have the perfect setup for a survivor classic in the making. In fact, the overall condition of the body tells you that this car has been expertly maintained for the last two decades. Correct SS badges on the front fenders and rear bumper help identify what was ultimately a very sophisticated package. There's also a large integrated wing out back and wide flat factory dual exhaust pipes. Even if you do decide to keep this pristine Camaro for an investment, the power convertible top will probably lure you out for plenty of starry night cruises.

GM called the tan leather "natural" when it was built, and it naturally remains well preserved in this collector Z28. The supportive bucket seats are both grippy in the corners and comfortable for all-day drives. Carpets, door panels, and the dash are immaculate, and the back seats appear to have never been used. It's the factory fresh condition that tells you this Camaro was someone's baby and not a commuter machine left out in the sun. All Z28 Camaros came only one way, loaded. That means power windows, power locks, keyless entry, dual airbags, cruise control, tilt wheel, AM/FM/CD stereo, and power seats. This is an ice cold air conditioning car, so that means you can keep the top down all through the summer season. Just in case you ever tired of telling people how special this car is, there's a numbered badge on the center console that you can point to for a subtle cool reference.

A modern classic means modern fuel-injected power. This is the top-of-the-line 350 cubic-inch V8 that was shared with the contemporary Corvette. The LT1 engine was upgraded in the SS package to make 305 hp, and when you pop the hood, you'll see that this monster motor has been treated to meticulous maintenance. This proves that despite averaging about 2,800 miles per year, the previous owners didn't just simply park this one and wait for it to appreciate. More advantages of a modern classic include the convenience of a four-speed automatic, which provides enough gears to be quick off the line as well as cruise comfortably on the highway. Plus, this Z/28 SS Tribute has the benefit of four-wheel disc brakes, upgraded sports suspension, ABS, and grippy Nexen N7000 performance tires on 17-inch SP alloy wheels.

This offers value and fun with an iconic Chevy name attached. It's a meticulously maintained, high horsepower future classic that's being offered for the price on an economy hatchback. This kind of irresistible packaging won't last long in our showroom. It's also important to note this car has a clear Florida title now, and is physically in excellent condition, but the Autocheck does show it was "Salvage" at one time in the past. Regardless, the car is a very clean Z28 convertible at an affordable price. Call today!!!
