Vehicle Description
In terms of bang for your buck, cars like this ultra-clean 1999
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 SS are pretty hard to top. LS1 power, totally
stock, and beautifully preserved, this car is either a trip back in
time for you or the perfect blank canvas for something truly
awesome.
The SS package was developed by SLP but brought in-house by
Chevrolet, making this the unquestioned top-of-the-line factory
Camaro. Adding more than $10,000 to the F-body's base price, the SS
was an expensive piece of muscle, but the guys who know these cars
know that they're a heck of a lot faster than they should be.
Purchased with the intention to preserve it for the future, this
one presents in almost new condition in every way and offers
single-ownership history and almost zero modifications, meaning
it's led a very easy life. It shows just 27,521 authentic miles,
and its overall condition suggests it's been protected every day of
its life. The beautiful red paint is certainly attention-grabbing
and with the gaping ram air hood and prominent SS badges, well,
let's just say it's got the horsepower to back up the look. It's
clearly been loved, with a glossy finish showing only minor swirl
marks from years of cleaning and waxing and zero evidence of
accident damage. Fit and finish on the largely plastic bodywork was
quite good by GM standards and this car still feels solid and tight
going down the road almost 20 years later. If you like the way
these cars look, few are as impressive as this one.
The interior was highly functional, with supportive gray leather
buckets that held you in place without being restrictive. All the
right equipment makes this Camaro feel luxurious, from the power
seats, windows, seats, locks, and mirrors, to the highly effective
A/C, to cruise control and a thundering AM/FM/CD stereo system, and
it all works as it should. The leather-wrapped wheel provides
controls for the stereo and the quick-witted 4-speed automatic
transmission was awesome for point-and-shoot driving. And as with
the exterior, the interior is beautifully preserved with supple
seating surfaces, a nice dash pad that hasn't been baked by the sun
under that giant windshield, carpets that still look great (with
original floor mats still in the bag) and a car cover. The cargo
area is reasonably-sized and has neat storage cubbies for your
gear.
Camaros got the same all-aluminum LS1 346 cubic inch V8 as the
Corvette. GM played games with the horsepower numbers, but drag
strip results strongly suggest that either the Camaro was
under-rated or the Corvette was over-rated, because the F-body was
very nearly as quick as its big brother. The LS1 is just as
modification-friendly as its earlier small-block siblings, but this
one remains remarkably stock in every way, from the air filter
assembly to the exhaust manifolds. The engine bay is spotless,
beautifully maintained, and just like the factory intended,
complete with all the assembly line decals in place. The
transmission shifts almost too smoothly when you're just cruising,
but when you stomp the loud pedal, things happen quickly and in a
very big way, so don't assume that the auto-shifter is a hindrance
to performance. Obviously it's never seen winter weather, with the
chassis showing proper red overspray and zero signs of salt spray.
And even OEM wheels look great in chrome, with these factory SS
hoops carrying 275/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 performance radials with
lots of life left in them.
