Vehicle Description
You'd think that after all these years, we'd have sold more of
these fourth-generation Camaros, seeing as how popular these were
when they were new. Plenty of modified ones, but a stock one like
this 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28? Not many at all. With low mileage,
a sinister color combination, and a screaming bargain of a price,
this is a heck of a lot of go-fast for not a lot of cash.
By 1994, the Camaro was unquestionably the king of the pony cars.
The Mustang was a gelding with a new-tech motor that hadn't found
its footing and Chrysler was busy building Vipers. No, if you
wanted to go fast on a budget in 1994, this was how you did it. It
remains true today, because this Black Z/28 still commands respect
and looks awesome going down the road. Despite being almost 30
years old, the paint still shines up very nicely, and it looks like
a much younger car. Sure, there's some evidence of use and age, but
this was clearly a car owned by someone who cared as the
imperfections are very minor and can be counted on one hand. The
plastic bodywork obviously doesn't show rust or dents, although the
quarters are still steel and they're in great shape. The pointed
nose doesn't display any real bumps or bruises, the clearcoat
hasn't peeled, and all the original emblems are still in place,
just in case you needed to be reminded what this was. The
shark-like shape has aged well and we love the black halo bar over
the roof that gives the whole greenhouse the appearance of a jet
cockpit, and aftermarket Euro-style taillights were added for a
mildly trick look. This is still a really cool car.
Inside, the all-black leather upholstery remains stylish and a
great choice for a car that'll go around corners. There's very
little wear throughout, which isn't surprising when you consider
the low miles, and the durable yet plush leather upholstery really
has held up well and features supercool 'Z28' script in the
headrests of the front buckets. The low-slung driving position
emphasizes the car's projectile-like looks but GM was careful to
put the important stuff right where you needed it: a fat steering
wheel, big, round gauges, and the 8-ball topped shifter for the
6-speed manual transmission is close at hand. Z/28s only came one
way: loaded. As a result, it's equipped with cold A/C, power
windows, power driver seat, locks, and mirrors, a tilt steering
column, rear defroster and cruise control. A Kenwood AM/FM/CD/AUX
player was neatly installed into the dash as the lone upgrade, and
it powers dual Rockford-Fosgate subwoofers installed under the
hatch that really bring the boom. OEM floor mats protect the plush
carpets on the floors, which are further testaments to the care
this 3-owner beauty has always received, and with T-Tops this
beauty turns into an open-air cruiser instantly.
The 350 cubic inch LT1 V8 really needs no introduction. It was
supposedly de-tuned for use in the Camaro, but there are a lot of
skeptics who say that it runs like a 300 horsepower car should.
Regardless of the number, this one only has 98,247 miles on the
clock, so it's still relatively fresh and ready to rock for years
to come. Thanks to the wonders of fuel injection, it starts quickly
and idles easily, and it pulls hard at almost any speed. Torque is
available all over the tach, and that's really the Camaro's strong
suit: smoking some tires. Of course, the cackle of the Magnaflow
exhaust is part of the fun, and with a torque arm suspension, the
Camaro is an agile handler, too. The 6-speed manual transmission is
a rare and welcomed sight (most of these were pedestrian
automatics), and the shifts are smooth and this car just loafs
along at highway speeds. It's shockingly clean underneath and the
16-inch factory chrome alloys are almost totally unmarked, wrapped
in 245/50/16 performance radials at all four corners.
You can still get a lot of V8 fun for not a lot of cash, and this
one is ready to be a daily driver or long-term collectable, with
all the creature comforts and fun of a 6-speed manual transmission.
Offered with its original window sticker and original manuals, this
is a dialed-in Z/28 that's definitely not going to last long. Call
