Vehicle Description
Those who are in the know understand what the Berger name means
when applied to a 2001 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 SS. It makes for both
an ultra-rare and extra speedy 380 horsepower Chevy. That's why
these get treated with extra care and respect. So while this one
can be a six-speed barn-burner, it's also an extra-sleek and highly
documented instant collectible that has averaged less than 830
miles per year.
Berger Chevrolet has been in the custom car business for decades.
It did COPO cars in the same way Yenko did, but in this case, you
can still visit the Michigan showroom today. So they are able to
add to their legend with a few special cars. For example, they did
an exclusive run of fourth-generation performance Camaros. And by
exclusive, that means a run limited to 100 cars and taking three
years to have them properly built by GMMG. And if you don't know
the GMMG name, some quick internet research will show you how they
did in the 2000s what your favorite muscle car speed shops did in
the 1960s. Are you starting to get the full picture? This is a
real-deal Z/28 SS that was then professionally upgraded by one of
the best Chevy customizers of the era that was commissioned by the
best in bow tie performance royalty. Oh yes, these are collector's
cars. This is why this has been treated with the proper respect.
Low mileage means the panels still show an excellent fit of the
Camaro's sleek style. There was even a full respray of the Rally
Red in 2012, and so this looks bright and attractive without making
it into a trailer queen. And the respray also cleared in the
correct Berger custom black sports stripes that frame the
functional hood scoop and then run all the way back to the blackout
rear panel. Plus, this one has upgraded polished double five-spoke
alloys, wide dual exhaust tips, and the right Berger badging to
make it unique. So it all makes sure the appearance conveys how
significant and distinctive this car is without you ever saying a
word.
For the same reason we like the look of the black stripes against
the red paint, we also love the dark ebony interior. So you'll
happily take the T-tops out and share this with the world. This is
a loaded coup, and it starts with leather seats - yours even power
adjusts to the ideal driving position. Plus, there's cold-blowing
air conditioning, power windows, power locks, dual airbags, cruise
control, power steering, tilt column, keyless entry, a cup holder
center console, and the optional 500-watt Monsoon AM/FM/CD stereo.
Of course, what really makes the interior awesome are all the
touches of speedy style. There's a special Berger SS dash plaque,
and the "Prescribed Power by Berger" motto is on the special
white-faced gauges. And your right hand will love the Hurst
shifter.
This is a real-deal Z/28 and Super Sport, and so it was born a 325
horsepower machine. But because Berger prescribes power, the
5.7-liter LS1 fuel-injected V8 was specially modified by GMMG.
Items like a high-flow airbox and the sought-after GMMG chambered
exhaust gets the power to an advertised 380 hp and 400 lb-ft of
torque. And you take full control over it all thanks to the
six-speed manual transmission. They also upgraded the suspension,
including new springs and better rotors for the four-wheel power
disc brakes package. It all makes for a Camaro that has a meaner
growl and the powerful moves to back it all up.
This is number 35 of the 100 ever made. So when it's a true
collectible, it's great the sale comes with proper paperwork. This
includes the title documentation, owner's manual, maintenance
records, and the window sticker for both the Camaro and the special
Berger package upgrades. So if you want one of the most awesome and
collectible 4th gens around, you know you can't let this rare
Berger slip away. Call today!!!
