Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Dallas is excited to present this sharp
1991 Camaro Z28 1LE / 305ci / 230HP / 5 Speed / 3:42, Only 289
1LE's produced in 1991 w/ 5 Speed Transmission. Finished in a Rare
Ultra Blue Metallic (We've only seen 2 in this color to date, Most
are Red, Black or White)Hope your ready for this one, because this
is a special car for many reasons! Third-generation Camaro prices
are on the rise, and projected to continue that trend as finer
examples with low miles are becoming increasingly difficult to
find. This car began and lives most of its life in Texas. Purchased
new at Young Chevrolet of Dallas, TX, this car is 1 of 3 purchased
by that dealership in 1991, and the sister car to the 1991 SCCA
champion car driven by Lou Gigliotti. The dealership converted 2 of
the 3 cars to race that year in the SCCA championship series. This
car was the 3rd, kept the car in their dealer inventory until 1992,
and ended up selling the car on their lot to a lucky local
civilian.Today, with only 43,732 Miles, this Camaro has been lucky
to be owned by car enthusiasts and collectors from day 1. The car
has been stored in climate-controlled storage when not being driven
to local car shows and events. The car overall is in pristine
condition with only a few very minor blemishes.Parts that have been
replaced or upgraded on the car include SLP 3" Stainless exhaust,
Hurst short-throw shifter, Fuel Injectors, Alternator underdrive
pulley, Hypertech chip in PCM, and a few others (Ball Joints, K+N
Air filters). The current owner has fitted a more modern set of
black Riddler 17x8" wheels, an aftermarket NRG steering wheel, as
well as a high end Audio system and front/rear dashcams. The
factory grey interior shows to be nicely maintained and there is no
accident history for this car on the Carfax or any other source of
information we have obtained.The car has an incredible amount of
documentation that comes with it. Most passed along from the
original owner, but I have also taken the time to add to this
library by searching down previous owners, printing records from
the internet, and collecting original GM documents and brochures
from 1991 that give the new owner a complete package for reading,
owning and displaying. The original build sheet, Bill of Lading
from transpiration companies, as well as dealership checklist and
copies of Invoice and window sticker, are also included. Original
manual and spare plastic door key with the pouch are included. WI
Title and copies of MA and TX titles included. Pictures from
previous owners, ads, and internet forum discussions about this car
will also be included.The 1LE itself is a special car. Especially
from the third generation where the "secret" ordering package was
only first made available to the public to purchase in 1991. This
car also has additional heritage, as it comes from the Young
Chevrolet racing legacy, and was featured on pages 118-119 in the
book "Camaro" by Anthony Young. A signed autographed copy of that
book comes with the documentation and car.The car itself also has
the most sought after RPO options of any 1LE, in that it is a
bare-bones Z28 car. No B4C package accompanying this car, as many
1LE's had during these years. Fog Light delete, A/C delete, AM/FM
Radio, G92 performance axle, Dual-piston 11.86" front disc brakes,
Aluminum driveshaft, Aluminum lightweight unused spare, Baffled gas
tank, cloth interior, No power options anywhere, rear defrost
delete, etc. This is a true 1LE example, made to be an SCCA race
car. Here is some additional information and history on the 1LE:If
you're a fan of the Camaro Z-28's, then you probably know all about
these cars.Background: In the mid- to late-1980's, the SCCA
Showroom Stock racing class and the Canadian Players Challenge
series was being dominated by the Ford Mustang GT's. Following the
axiom of "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday", Chevrolet decided in 1988
that it was time to wrestle the control of the SCCA Showroom Stock
class and Players Challenge series away from Ford, and thus
developed the Camaro Z-28 1LE. Initially, only racing teams or
those individuals with a competition racing license could order a
1LE.Ordering the RPO G80 Limited-slip rear axle & G92 performance
axle with a Z-28 triggered the 1LE RPO. When G92 was ordered, it
forced several other options including engine oil cooler, 4-wheel
disc brakes, dual converter exhaust and P245/50ZR16 tires. A Camaro
with G92 had to have either the 350ci (RPO B2L) engine with 4-speed
automatic transmission or the 305ci (RPO LB9) with 5-speed manual.
These Camaro's also had 145 mph speedometers and 5500 rpm redline
tachs. If RPO G92 was ordered with air conditioning, the cars were
built as street vehicles. If air conditioning was not ordered,
Chevrolet equipped the cars for the race series. This car was
ordered without air conditioning and includes:(G92 Ordered Without
A/C): Aluminum driveshaft (JG1) (part # 10085375) G80 Differential
with limited slip with 3.42 posi rear G92 Rear axle performance
package Big front brakes adapted from the Corvette Larger (11.86
inch) front rotors (part # 18016035) Larger front spindles (part

gas tank and special 18 gallons baffled fuel tank for fuel pickup
down to .5 gallon reserve to prevent fuel starvation in hard
cornering A steeper 0.74:1 gear ratio fifth gear Stronger lower
control arms (part # 10164151) Special gas-filled shocks (1990-1992
cars) Air conditioning delete (C41) (standard heater) (weight
savings and better airflow to the radiator) Fog lamp delete (to
open up the air intake located behind) T-Tops delete Power
accessories delete Aluminum spare wheel with a smaller spare tire
(N64)Don't let this one get away because you likely won't see
another one with this provenance, in such good condition anytime
soon!! We're seeing similar mileage Z28's going for more, and they
aren't even the coveted 1LE. This car will only continue to grow in
value.This 1991 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 1LE is listed by Dallas
Showroom at Gateway Classic Cars and can be seen at
