Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible
You don't have to look very hard to find the muscle/pony car DNA in
the Camaro SS. It's there in spades: a rumbling overhead-valve V-8
and a stick-shift tranny, packed in a low slung, distinctly
American 2+2. Just like the Z28's and SS's of 30 years ago. No
gizmo-actuated variable-valve timing, no overhead cams, no
independent rear suspension, no BS. The honest-to-quarter-mile
muscle car goods, and one of the last examples on the market that
can make the claim of being a true descendant of what it's been
from, well, its beginning back in '67.
For consignment, a car celebrating the Camaro and the SS spices
thrown in for extra power and looks, and a LOT of it! This 1999
version of the Camaro graces our halls of Classic Auto Mall and
announces itself with a mere 23,699 title verified miles on the
odometer, a 5.7 liter LS-1 engine, and a full WU8 coded SS package.
It's red and it's a convertible with the somewhat rarely seen cloth
interior. Just this fact should be enough to lure you to come in
and buy it right off the floor, if you need more...read on!
Exterior
This car screams SS and Chevrolet with all its add ons and snappy
looking factory applied Bright Red basecoat/clearcoat paint. The
grille opening is slightly different than a standard Z28 and a red,
white, and blue badge hovers just above. Deeply inset fog lights
flank the grille opening and all present with nary a flaw.
Chevrolet is known for their rakish styling on the front glass, and
this car is no exception. A long lean hood with an integral molded
in SS scoop leads back to the windshield leaning way back in this
design. On top is a like new black canvas convertible top with a
glass rear window and it is power actuated. On the sides, straight
steel and composite panels with well minded gaps create the front
and rear quarters badged with black SS badges on the front
quarters. On the short rear deck, (the long nose, short deck muscle
car look lives on), where there is a wide spoiler that is very low
profile. GM multi-spoke 17-inch aluminum wheels are on all 4
corners and are wrapped in blackwall rubber in 275/40R17 format
from the 5th week of 2021. Dual exhaust peeks out from under the
body matching neoprene bumper. All paint is at the deep end of the
pool and looks nearly perfect throughout.
Interior
A swing of the sexy doors and we get loads of black molded smooth
vinyl, clean gray broadcloth, integrated door pulls with a matching
charcoal gray actuator and plenty of power toggles to play with.
Inside, rarely seen gray broadcloth high back buckets, showing
almost no wear that comes with careful preservation and very little
use, have smooth bolsters and semi-herringbone stitched inserts and
the driver's seat being power actuated. A center console undulates
by these buckets and houses the long arm leather knobbed shifter
for the transmission. Shoehorned in back are two more molded in
gray cloth buckets with not a lot of legroom but they are there.
The center of the dash rises to the occasion with a premium sound
system including AM/FM/Cassette, climate controls, and the power
topbutton. A beautifully and gracefully arched dash top in front of
the driver has all the essential gauges and warnings should
something go awry during your performance drive. Gray carpeting
floods the floors and is protected by color matching carpeted
mats.
Drivetrain
The factory 346ci LS series V8 sits between the fenders and is
looking as good as the day it was installed. We've all come to know
and love the LS1 series engines and this car is fed by EFI with the
factory air intake. Mated to the back is a Tremec T56 6-speed
manual transmission which sends power to the rear axle which is a
10-bolt 3.42 posi-traction setup. All stock and just the way the
folks at the Quebec plant and SLP intended.
Undercarriage
Beautifully preserved with factory overspray still seen on floor
pans and fuel tank. The factory dual to single to dual exhaust is
on and looking just fab. Handling is courtesy front independent
coil spring and Macpherson struts and the rear is a torque arm with
coil springs to keep the tires stuck to the ground. Power disc
brakes are on all 4 corners.
Drive-Ability
A quick starter and off to the test track where it performed well
in all facets with endless acceleration, bias free braking and
wonderful handling. All functions were performing as they should on
this SS Camaro, and we kept our drive short so as to not rack up
too many miles on this example.
How about a throwback to the original Camaro with loads of power,
classic good looks, low mileage, and plenty of conveniences PLUS
it's a convertible. Get into Classic Auto Mall's halls quickly as
this one will fly off the shelves, I just have a warm and fuzzy
feeling!
