Vehicle Description
1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible
The Camaro was first created as a direct competitor for the
Mustang. Chevy wanted to make a muscle car that could blow Ford's
entry right off the map. They certainly did, but the beast they
designed almost had a completely different name. The Camaro was
originally code-named the Panther, and Chevy went so far as to
prepare badging with that title on it. However, the name was
altered at the last minute. It's not surprising that it was changed
to a title beginning with "C." So many Chevy favorites from the
past carried monikers that started with the same letter, including
the Corvair, Chevelle, and Corvette. When asked about the meaning
of the Camaro's name, Chevy representatives defined it for the
press as "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs." On a more
literal note, many sources suggest that the name, Camaro, was
actually found by Chevy designers in a French/English Dictionary.
In French, Camaro translates to "friend".
For consignment, a rare bird in the form of 1995 Z28 in Arctic
White, coated with Hugger Orange stripes, a 4-speed automatic, a
crisp white top that goes down, and with a mere 9,011 original
miles! According to the numbers, only 8,024 convertibles were
produced for the model year, further production breakdown numbers
are not available. So, couple this with the low mileage, and you
may have the possibility of owning one of the lowest mileage in
this configuration in the world.
Exterior
The body uses a combination of a steel unibody with light,
rust-free, and dent-resistant composite body panels. The rear
fenders are structural steel, and the doors and front fenders are
plastic as well as the scooped hood. Bathed in its factory applied
Arctic White with Hugger Orange stripes, and this example presents
beautifully on the exterior fit and finish. A rear spoiler is atop
the composite deck and an almost radical for the auto industry in
its day 68 degree swept back windshield leads to the top. Speaking
of the top, it goes up and down with the press of a switch and
presents as nearly new...because it is. A glass rear window with a
factory defogger is sewn into this top. 16-inch saw blade style
aluminum alloy wheels bedecked in newer 245/50ZR16 rubber are on
all 4 corners.
Interior
Opening the doors to reveal the interior, we are met with black
door panels, power windows, power locks and a toggle for the
driver's mirror. As we slip inside to the curvaceous Charcoal Black
leather seats, we notice wear off mark on the driver's upper
bolster and they are sitting in a sea of black. A similar motif is
in back with the 2+2 rear seats being divided by the hump and a
bench style upper cushion. A very clean dash houses various analog
gauges and an analog odometer. Neatly clustered into the center of
the dash are climate controls, and an AM/FM/CD stereo and a storage
cubby. Slipping between the seats is a Charcoal Black plastic
console complete with cup holders, and armrest/storage bin and the
automatic shifter. Nearly showroom Charcoal Black carpet with
slightly darker Z28 embroidered floor mats are on top of the carpet
to further protect it.
Drivetrain
Flipping the lightweight hood, sandwiched into the rearward portion
of the engine bay (for weight distribution) is a 350ci LT-1 V8
complete with electronic fuel injection, and a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission. This combination pushes power rearward to a
10-bolt 3.42 geared rear. This engine bay presents as nearly new
with only minor patina on a few of the rubber components.
Undercarriage
As expected for a garaged well-kept, low mileage, pampered car,
minor surface rust on the usual steel parts, and all very clean
underneath. Independent coil spring front suspension, and a torque
arm and coil spring rear suspension along with power disc brakes on
all corners is also seen. The factory installed exhaust is still in
place and looks pristine.
Drive-Ability
We are very careful not to put any frivolous miles on low mileage
cars for obvious reasons, so we started this car and took it only
around the lot, where it ran smoothly, and gave us a good, albeit
short ride with everything working as it should.
A rare find here folks, in the form of the drop-topped, Artic White
& Hugger Orange hued, with super low 9,011 original miles and
babied since new Quite the way to continue on with the Z28
heritage, it's yours for the plucking right out of Classic Auto
Mall's Hallowed Halls.
