2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SLP 1LE

Description

Would you ever really be deciding between a collector car with a street-eating V8, and an economy hatchback? Of course not! But right now you can pick up an ultra-low mileage 2002 35th Anniversary Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS with an ultra-desirable six-speed manual, and it's all at the kind of value price that's usually reserved for daily commuters.

There's no mistaking the fourth-generation Camaro SS with its massive hood scoop that's force feeding the LS1 underneath. It's finished in its original Sebring Silver Metallic, which gives the car a subtle elegance to go with its brutish speed. And more than just a standout for its appearance, it's likely that less than 500 Camaro SS cars were built with this spec in 2002 – the generation's final year. Still about as shiny as the day it was new, this F-body has been expertly maintained for the last 15 years, making sure it continues to be a valuated collector's item. But more than just worth, we know you love it for the overall sporty appearance. The large integrated spoiler, correct SS badging, blacked-out canopy, and 17-inch factory alloys all contribute to a very purposeful and aggressive first impression.

You know an interior has been treated with the ultimate care care when even the airbag warning tag is still hanging from the glovebox. GM's ebony cloth is one of the most interesting patterns of the time with charcoal gray inserts in the seats that also match the doors – so you're sure to get people looking at this coupe just for that. Beyond their stellar condition, the supportive bucket seats are both grippy in the corners and comfortable for all-day drives. All SS Camaros came only one way: loaded. That means cold air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual airbags, cruise control, tilt wheel, keyless entry, and power seats. The 2002 Camaros also received a special 35th Anniversary badge on the dash above the AM/FM/CD stereo.

The SS was the top dog Camaro that came from Chevrolet at the time. The numbers-matching LS1 under the hood was shared with the Corvette, and it was originally rated at 325 horsepower. But as you can see from the included windows sticker, the masters at SLP (in conjunction with Chevy) added a performance exhaust package that included the distinctive center exit on the rear bumper. And so this special SS was now firmly in the Corvette's territory. In fact, the 1LE performance suspension upgrade made this quite a handler, too. And while this coupe's engine bay looks immaculate thanks to averaging less than 1,150 miles annually, we know you won't be able to resist adding some miles to the clock. After all, the control provided by the six-speed manual means the sound and fury of this desirable V8 is always in your hands. And because this high-horsepower car is also a modern classic, it means the convenience of a four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, anti-lock brakes, and sticky Goodyear Eagle F1 tires.

This is a high-horsepower anniversary car from the final year of its generation, and it comes with all the right paperwork like the factory buildsheet, owner's manual, and the full original window sticker, including proof of the pricy SLP upgrades. They can't get much more classic than this, and it will never be more affordable than now. Call today!!!
