Vehicle Description
Clean Camaro RS convertible. 305 cubic inch V8 with TBI, automatic
transmission, nice paint and bodywork, clean interior, good black
canvas top. Upgraded exhaust but otherwise 100% stock. Nice '90s
icon ready to enjoy. By 1992, the third-gen Camaro was already 10
years old but that didn't mean Chevy didn't have a few tricks up
their sleeves By adding fuel injection, the engines were both more
powerful and more efficient, and cutting the roof off created what
was arguably the most iconic ragtop of the '90s. Of course,
painting it bright red doesn't exactly mean you'll keep a low
profile, but it sure looks awesome. The RS added the Z/28's ground
effects package for a more aggressive look, and the combination of
the low, mean stance and the clean, unadorned look (no decals, no
scoops, no spoilers) might make this the best of the best when it
comes to looks. It doesn't look like this car has spent much time
in the winter weather and the factory bright red paint shines up
beautifully even after 30 years of playing in the sun. Even the
urethane bumper covers and lower skirts are in excellent condition.
Is it perfect? No, there are a few of the usual signs of age and
use. But even we have to admit that this car has aged really well
and looks awesome from any angle. Add in the fact that nobody felt
the need to add any aftermarket spoilers or hoods only enhances its
appeal. If you remember these cars fondly, this is the one you want
to own today. The red cloth bucket seat interior is also in great
condition. Yes, it's a lot of red but the handsome tweed-style
upholstery remains comfortable and cool in the sun and still
stylish today. The Camaro had a more driver-oriented interior than
its competition from Ford, and the RS includes a full array of
instruments that are big and easy to read. It's also loaded with
options, including power windows and locks, cold A/C, and a 4-speed
automatic transmission. The upholstery and carpets are in excellent
condition and despite red's propensity to fade in the sun, this
interior remains crisp and bright. The factory stereo has been
replaced by a powerful Pioneer AM/FM/CD head unit and the
installation is neatly done. Overhead, GM did a better job than
other manufacturers with their convertible top, which features a
full interior headliner and disappears invisibly under a hard
tonneau. The trunk isn't much to write home about, but it's in
great shape with no issues. The engine is the reliable L03 305
cubic inch V8 fed by throttle body fuel injection. Befitting a
Camaro, it delivers a healthy whack of low-end torque and pulls the
bright red convertible around without ever seeming to work very
hard. Perhaps most remarkably, this one remains complete stock from
the air cleaner to the exhaust manifolds, so that means no hack
workmanship or abuse. You can tell it hasn't been used in the
winter and it's well maintained and ready to enjoy. And if it's
more horsepower you crave, well, it's only a phone call away-this
is a small block Chevy V8 after all. Underneath, it's not shiny and
perfect but it is clean and solid with no signs of rot or neglect.
The hardware is familiar, including the 4-speed automatic
transmission that makes this a great point-and-shoot machine around
town but a relaxed cruiser on the highway. This car also features
what we believe to be towering 2.73 gears, so fuel economy is
decent for a performance car with a V8. You'll note that the
exhaust system features a Flowmaster muffler and polished tips, but
that's the lone modification to the entire car. Handling is crisp,
which was a Camaro hallmark, and it sits on factory 16-inch alloy
wheels with 235/55/16 Goodyear radials all around. Documentation
includes the original owner's manual. If you look around, you'll
see that '80s and '90s performance cars are suddenly red hot.
There's a lot of nostalgia around these cars and today, nice ones
are tough to find simply because they were often used up and thrown
away. This clean Camaro ragtop is ready to enjoy as it sits and you
just might find that performance cars of the period were a lot of
fun to own. Call today! Harwood Motors always recommends and
