Vehicle Description
1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
The Z28 code was the RPO code they used when the 67 Camaro was to
be ordered with an engine that met the specs of the SCCA Racing.
That engine had to have less than 305 cubic inches. So, Chevy took
a 327 block, installed a 283 crank, and got a 302. This was used
for both the 67 and 68 years.
For consignment a 1996 Chevrolet Camaro. This one with 133K miles
has an original but rebuilt engine, (1800-2000 miles ago), and
shows well. Clean and well maintained just a few areas of some
wear, but overall good!
Exterior
From tip to toe, top to bottom, and everywhere in between, we see
factory Bright Red and looking just fab! Integrated bumpers, body
matching, front and rear melt into the steel body panels which are
straight and totally ding free. A few strategically placed pieces
of black trim are seen throughout, and add just a bit of downplay
to the red. Fog lights are upfront to light the way. Just behind
the B pillar is a curved greenhouse glass enclosure for the rear
passengers, as well as any of their gear to store in the back. On
back, the curvaceous spoiler runs the width of the arched rear, and
large taillights peek out from underneath. Black powder coated
18-inch wheels are on all 4 corners.
Interior
Graphite broadcloth is covering all the seating surfaces which
present high back buckets upfront, and a small rear 2 plus 2 bench.
These are in good condition with some wear off on the drivers
bolsters. Some zig zag pattern is covering the inserts and no
pattern gray is on the bolsters. The door panels that cozy up to
the seats are of the same pattern and usage of fabric and when the
doors are closed, and you are in ready to go mode. We see power
windows, power locks, and A/C. Black carpet floods the floors, and
the dash is all original and all clean as a whistle. We note some
red accenting surrounds for the radio, A/C vent and shifting lever
bezel. A digital readout Alpine aftermarket AM/FM/CD/MP3 player is
replacing the factory radio, and all is just wonderful with the
interior world.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the correct 5.7 liter LT-1 V8 with fuel injection
to feed it the go juice. A T56 6-speed manual transmission is on
back, 10-bolt 3.42 rear axle.
Undercarriage
Showing some of its age and mileage, surface rust coats the
suspension and driveshaft/differential. Floor pans have a lot of
flake off of the paint which is matching the topside, but not rust
for the floor pans or rockers. Some of the front section of the
framing and floor pans have been resprayed. This car has UMI
performance suspension and power disc brakes all around.
Drive-Ability
She fires right up and runs smoothly. As noted, a recently rebuilt
engine can take you from zero to 60 in a flash with nice solid
handling, and quick braking. All functions were in working order
for this test drive.
An aero version of the former and current iteration of the Camaro
muscle car. Looking very clean, just a few minor areas of wear, and
mechanically sound. The price is definitely right...Come On
Down!
