Vehicle Description
1999 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe
"A car body kit is a collection of exterior parts designed to
modify the look and potentially enhance the performance of your
vehicle. These kits typically include components like front and
rear bumpers, side skirts, spoilers, and occasionally even grilles.
Made from materials like durable plastics for a lightweight yet
strong design, body kits can dramatically alter the visual
character of your car, ranging from subtle upgrades to a complete
transformation." Thx to ausbodyworks
For consignment, a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with a title verified
55,174 actual miles, and wearing a body kit that gives the car a
wider, lower, and more aggressive stance. Combined with the SS type
hood, this '99 is a standout example of the fourth generation
Camaro.
Exterior
In 1999 14,747 Z28's were built and most of them, 11,873 to be
exact, had T-tops and our example is one of them. This smoked T-top
meets a black C-pillar attached to a sloping rear window creating
the look of a jet fighter canopy over a Bright Red body. Body
colored skirts encircle the bottom edge of the car from front to
back providing a sleek look that would become standard on many
performance cars. An aerodynamic SS-style scoop protrudes on the
hood, funneling air into a tunnel that feeds cooling winds to the
engine bay. Out back, a raised wing caps off the split tail lights
and rear fascia, embossed with CAMARO, leading to a smooth bumper
cover over split chrome exhaust tips. And speaking of chrome, the
16-inchmulti-spoke wheels carry 55 series tires with a late 2020
date code. Imperfections include some hazing on the composite
headlight lens, some flex cracking on the hood, touched up
scratches, and some typical scrapes on the chin cladding.
Interior
Simple and smooth plastic door panels wear charcoal and black, a
color Chevrolet calls Ebony with shades of gray and black making up
the entire interior including the sport bucket leather seats. The
driver's side shows some compression and patina creasing, but like
the rest of the seating, is in good condition. A bit of patina is
observed on the steering wheel grip but its leather wrap remains
nice, leading to an instrument cluster with basic readouts, the
tach cleverly overlapping the speedometer. In the center stack, the
integrated AM/FM/CD is factory and dressed in large, readable
buttons while the A/C panel below is as easy as your toddler's
Fisher Price toy to operate. The stick however, is adult rated, a
stout 6-speed Hurst shifter with a pool ball sized handle, wearing
a leather boot and ready to rock. Gray low pile carpet covers the
floor and the plastic around the T-tops are in fine shape. Carpet
covers the cargo area where a T-top base is located for
storage.
Drivetrain
Typically set back in the bay for this generation, the 5.7 liter
LS1 V8 is in place and clean, backed by a T56 6-speed manual
transmission sending power to the 10-bolt axle with 3.42 gears and
Positraction. No pegleg here, burnouts will be double lined! After
a quarter mile or so, you'll employ power disc brakes on all four
wheels to slow this F-body down!
Undercarriage
Surface rust makes its typical appearance underneath and the only
errant fluids we find is some oil on the rear differential. The
exhaust joins together after leaving the engine, then enters a
Magnaflow muffler before splitting into two tailpipes with chrome
tips. Suspension is configured as coil springs up front and a
torque arm with coil springs in the back.
Drive-Ability
The cockpit streams with muted light as the glass T-tops provide
shaded views of the sky as we pull the Z out of the stable. The 5.7
responds and the shifts are smooth, handling is superb and tracking
is laser straight. At about 300 horses, this red flyer is nothing
to sneeze at. It's a hot car, and it gets hotter when we realize
the A/C is not functioning. We also note that the right turn signal
is not working either. Meanwhile, we had a difficult time getting
Reverse to engage. That said, all other functions work as expected.
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.
The fifth and sixth generation utilized a retro style which means
these gen four cars, now 25 years old, present as a stylistically
unique generation, one that still looks good, goes like stink, and
provides a comfortable cabin while doing so. There's really only
one direction their collectability can go the further we get from
the 20thcentury. So, pick this one up and quote a great philosopher
when you bring it home to the family. "Tonight we're gonna party
like it's 1999!"
