Vehicle Description
The last of the third-generation F-bodies rolled off the line in
1992 and someone wisely grabbed this fully-loaded 1993 Camaro Z/28
and upgraded it with some serious firepower thanks to a massive
nitrous bottle in back, along with supporting upgrades to handle
the power.
If you're going to keep one forever, the guy who ordered this
fully-loaded Z/28 did it right. The Z was the top-of-the-line and
it never looked better than it does here, especially with the deep
chin spoiler and simple rear wing that was a feature of the later
cars. As you'd expect with just 26,495 miles on the clock, it's in
fantastic condition, including the paint which has that
characteristic GM orange peel in the finish, but a great shine;
how'd they do that? For fans of the fourth-generation F-body, this
is an incredible find, and at a glance, you won't notice that
there's 500 horsepower living within. No stripes or gaudy graphics
here, just a sinister dark red Camaro that really was the top dog
in the pony car wars that year. It's been properly stored and
exercised, and there's not a hint of the usual shelf wear that you
see in some cars that are just thrown under a cover and forgotten.
No, someone really loved this car and it must have been really hard
to resist dipping into those huge reserves of power out on the
road.
Camaro interiors were pretty nice places to spend your time, and
this one has supportive gray cloth bucket seats and every option
you could order in 1993. The seats show almost no wear, even on the
outer bolsters, and the rest of the interior remains in first-class
condition. Obviously it's modified with the six-point roll cage and
harnesses, but that's probably not a bad idea in a car that
accelerates the way this one does. Equipment includes A/C, power
windows and locks, cruise control, power driver's seat, and power
mirrors, plus the 4-speed automatic transmission that is the
smarter choice when using nitrous on the street. An airbag steering
wheel was a recent addition to the Camaro and it offers a fully
complement of big analog gauges that are easy to read with their
bold yellow markings. A Delco AM/FM/cassette stereo system still
sounds decent and the factory floor mats, back seat, and trunk area
are completely unmarked, save for where the nitrous bottle was
cleverly installed, making it an invisible upgrade.
The 5.7-liter LT1 V8 was borrowed from the Corvette and stuffed
into the Z to finally put down the 5.0 Mustang. It was a brilliant
move, creating one of the greatest muscle cars of the era and this
was definitely the one everyone watched for on the street. To take
advantage of the added breathing from the nitrous, the intake was
Extrude Honed to improve flow, the heads were ported, and a cold
air intake was added. With a 135 HP shot of giggle gas, it cranks
out 500 horsepower and 440 pounds of torque, all with bulletproof
reliability. Underneath, it's quite tidy, with factory-looking
exhaust parts, spotless floors, and original components throughout,
save for the auxiliary fuel pump which is needed for the added fuel
demands of the nitrous system. The 700R4 4-speed automatic
overdrive transmission carries a 3200 RPM stall torque converter
and it sits on 16-inch alloys with fat 245/50/16 performance
radials.
With big power that's virtually invisible, this heavily documented
Camaro can still be considered a threat in today's world of 700
horsepower supercars. The low mileage and great looks are just
icing on the cake. Call today!
