2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 SS 35th Anniversary Edition

Description

Like Chevelles and Corvettes, Camaros are considered one of the all-time great Chevrolet classics. With that in mind, the popularity of fourth generation Camaros is certainly growing. Ask any young enthusiast what their favorite year panther is and you're just as likely to hear “1997” “1998” or “2002” as “1967”, “1969” or “1970”. But here's the kicker: at this point in time, there simply aren't that many investment grade F4s on the market. And that's why it's a great idea to get ahead of the curve by investing early in this striking 35th Anniversary Edition SS. Combining a stout LS1 and a smooth 4-speed with compact dimensions and a refreshing drop-top driving experience, this 5,065-mile Chevy is a vision of bygone pony car performance. And, as a well-maintained cruiser that's been in the care of just two meticulous owners, it's a solid piece of classic car potential that's available for relatively modest money!

BODYWORK/TRIM

Displaying official aesthetics for all 789 35th Anniversary Special Edition 4-speed SS convertibles, this clean Camaro is a virtually spotless garage queen that's seen very little pavement time. 100% straight, with no history of catastrophic damage, the car's fuselage is an even wedge of all-original paint. High quality 35th Anniversary-exclusive décor, courtesy of GM's St. Therese, Quebec assembly plant, still shines with the best cars on the road. And overall, this Chevy conveys a premium sense of collectability that, when combined with its spectacular performance, creates a timeless modern classic.

At the front of the car's brilliant pigment, one of the most aggressive faces Chevrolet ever produced hangs factory-fresh headlights above an ornate header emblem, HID fog lamps and a Flat Black grille that's finished with silver “CAMARO” lettering. Behind that grille, a Forced Air Induction Hood centers a black inlay in front of a fresh greenhouse that's wrapped in Black cloth. Beneath that glass, exclusive 35th Anniversary fender emblems add intricate detail to a sculpted profile that floats body-matched door moldings under color-keyed mirrors. And at the back of the car, an SS-exclusive spoiler frames tri-color taillights, a stylish “SS” badge and a second round of silver “CAMARO” lettering.

ENGINE

Under the composite bonnet, a Gen III LS1 V8 combines a sturdy aluminum block with lightweight aluminum heads, coil-near-plug ignition and aluminum flat-top pistons to twist a solid 325 horsepower into 350 lb./ft. of Kansas-flat torque. At the top of the engine, cold air induction feeds a factory-spec throttle body, which is bolted to a lightweight, composite intake. High octane fossils are provided by GM electronic fuel injection. Sparks are sequenced through AC Delco plug wires. Spent gases get whisked away by factory manifolds. Cooling comes courtesy of a factory radiator. And, aesthetically, the Cast Silver mill blends seamlessly with the car's spotless, Bright Rally Red engine bay.

DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION

Under this Chevy, clean floors and factory-spec hardware make it clear the car's previous owners were meticulous about maintenance. Behind the engine, you'll find a proven 4L60E 4-speed automatic, which spins a factory torsen differential around sporty, 3.23 gears. Braking is provided by four power-assisted discs, which are upfitted with standard anti-lock technology. Exhaust floats through factory pipes that terminate at polished tips. At the corners, 35th Anniversary-exclusive wheels spin 275/40ZR17 Goodyear Eagle F1s around machined and painted spokes. And, unlike some Camaros of the past, this fourth generation has the hardware to maximize all its power thanks to an SS-optioned High Performance Ride and Handling Suspension.

INTERIOR

Between the doors, 35th Anniversary-exclusive buckets wrap vivid embroidery and 2-tone hides around 6-way power adjustment for the car's driver. The instrument panel is a legible GM layout that features a built-in Driver Information Center next to a large tachometer and sweeping speedometer. At the floor, a short shifter surfs a small console between clean 35th Anniversary mats. In front of the driver, a leather-clad steering wheel sports convenient thumb controls for an awesome Monsoon sound system. And naturally, all the luxuries you'd expect in a modern car are present and accounted for, including power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, a power trunk and Remote Keyless Entry that's complete with GM's PASSkey theft deterrent system.
