Vehicle Description
1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible
The name Camaro was reportedly derived from Heath's French and
English Dictionary as a term that translated to "friend" or
"comrade". Reporters were told by GM product managers that the term
also meant "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs". And the
stage for the rivalry was set.
For consignment, a 1991 version of the Camaro RS in convertible
form with 94,277 non-verifiable miles. This car comes to us as a
Z28 clone and is a garage kept, go anywhere, turn key car with its
305ci V8 engine, nice paint and interior, and a functioning A/C
system, along with its long list of sporty attributes, good looks
and great performance...Hey!! It's a Camaro!
Exterior
This version of the sporty Camaro is bathed in Medium Quasar Blue
Metallic and has straight steel with well minded gaps throughout.
The paint looks great and the car remains rust free. A neatly
shaped front still retaining the throwback look from the originals
but with a much more aero twist, no chrome, just the Quasar Blue
Metallic and some black accenting around the grille and headlights.
A bit of aero styling can be seen on the front quarters and rockers
and it's all Quasar Blue including the sporty high rise cowl
induction style hood and added scoops. The top is a manual operated
top and shows in black canvas with a clear rear glass window. When
it's down a neat black plastic tonneau covering hides it nicely. On
back a small spoiler resides just aft of an added rear wing and
some triangular edged wrap around tail lights and with the body
matching neoprene bumper is blue format below. Snazzy polished
16-inch Progressive 5 spoke deep dish wheels are now on all 4
corners and wrapped with like new Falken rubber. The paint is all
good with very few faults save for a few scuffs, scratches and
inclusions on the lowers.
Interior
A swing of the sporty looking doors and we note plenty of aero
molded plastic and vinyl mixing with some striped vinyl and black
carpeting. A black industrial look houses the door actuator, power
window toggle and the mirror joystick. Slipping inside we shake
hands and butts with nicely shaped high back buckets that sport
striped black tweed with a light background and some black
accenting in cloth in the centers. Black side bolsters add to the
look but we note tearing on the driver's outer bolster along with
some light soiling and a cigarette burn on the driver's lower
cushion. A rear seat delete is noted in the back. More beautifully
molded and sculpted vinyl and plastic for the center console and
dash which both make use of the undulating line where nothing is
squared off, gosh I'm glad the 80's styling is gone! All clean and
good looking for the dash, complete with a black background for the
factory instrument cluster. Black carpeting flooding the floors.
Also noted is a killer stereo system with an AM/FM/CD player and
some serious amps in the trunk!
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 305ci V8 installed. EFI is feeding the fossils
to the powerful mill, and on the back is a T5 5-speed manual
transmission. A 10 bolt rear axle also aids with this moving
forward task! I can tell you and you will see in the photos that
this engine and bay is simply gorgeous!
Undercarriage
A light peppering of surface rust is seen on a few cast suspension
parts, but all unremarkable. Otherwise, stamped steel floor pans
and rockers with some light patina form age but no rust on these
items. Independent front suspension, and a torque arm with coil
springs are in back. Power disc brakes and power drum brakes
provide the stopping power, and a clean exhaust gives this engine
plenty of pipe to exhale freely.
Drive-Ability
This car fired right up and on the test track performed as
expected, with all functions working save for the power locks not
operating and the tachometer not tracking rpm's. Having driven many
a Camaro here at Classic Auto Mall, I'd have to say I did notice
more power than usual coming from this one. I could say the force
is strong with this one! While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
With the added spoiler, skirting and hood, this car melts right
into the Z28 look. A peek under the hood tells us things are all
factory, which is great for the purists in the mix. All in very
good condition, this car is a definite goer, but can also be viewed
at any car show you may want to drive it to. Go ahead, get in and
turn it over...well the engine, keep the wheels down on the ground,
although they have a tendency to spin when you get goosey with your
boot!
