Vehicle Description
2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS 35th Anniversary Coupe
"Bowing to market pressures, GM decided that 2002 would be the last
year for the fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro as well as the
Pontiac Firebird. They marked the 35th anniversary of the model
with a special Z4C 35th Anniversary Edition Camaro added to the SS
trim. The cars were all Bright Red with black and gray leather
seats with 35th embroidery on the headrests. Coupes required
T-tops, convertibles had black soft tops. A total of 3,369 buyers
picked the option and paid $2,500 for it, on top of the $3,625 that
11,191 enthusiasts paid for the WU8 SS package." Thx

For consignment, a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS 35th anniversary
coupe showing 37,008 miles but the true miles are unknown. This is
a one family owned car since new, and one of the 1,971 anniversary
coupes produced. The cars were assembled in Quebec and then shipped
to nearby LaSalle so SLP could add special items including the
striping package.
Exterior
Nothing veering from the playbook here as Bright Red paint is
wildly augmented with stripes and graphics over the top of the car.
In profile, the specific 17-inch 10 spoke wheels and oval
designation on the fender are the only things that offer clues that
this is no ordinary SS with T-tops. In front, the silver
anniversary stripes begin on the lower fascia, breaking for the
intake ducts, then resurfacing on the nose and back onto the hood
where the stripes transform into a checkered flag flanking the
muscular SS hood scoop with black painted runway leading to the
gaping gap. T-tops, a feature almost synonymous with F-bodies come
next, followed by the B-pillar, curved rear glass, and integrated
wing with the checkered flag above, and stripes below. A smooth red
bumper cover leads to the SS's big dual tips. Imperfections are few
with some rock chips on the front stripe, some chin scrapes, and a
crack in the bumper above the license plate box.
Interior
Standard black configuration for the tidy door panels but the seats
are special for the 35th, dressed in Ebony leather with gray
inserts and a bright, embroidered ode to the special edition on the
headrests. The driver's seat shows some usage with some looseness
and discoloration, and all other seats are nearly pristine. An
ergonomically minded steering wheel with sizable thumb controls
fronts the standard Z28 gauge cluster, black faced gauges behind a
sheet of plexiglass while the center stack holds the coveted
anniversary badge above an aftermarket AM/FM/CD radio with AUX and
USB as well as the very basic, three knob A/C panel. The sea of
ebony continues on the center console with a black boot around a
black knobbed shifter, all in good condition over low pile black
carpet. The cargo area has T-top covers and is finished in gray
panels with some separation at the latch panel.
Drivetrain
Impressive but not showy, a very clean 5.7 liter LS1 is under the
hood, pumping out an impressive 345 ponies and mated to a Tremec
T56 6-speed manual that sends power to the 10 bolt axle with 3.42
gears and Positraction. This is one of 1,037 T-top 6-speed cars.
Naturally, power disc brakes are front and rear. Our consignor
notes the addition of headers and an oversize MAF sensor.
Undercarriage
Clean underneath as well with some surface rust peppering the rear
axle, suspension parts, and knuckle area. No invasive rust is seen
nor any leaks of any kind. The dual exhaust comes together as one,
enters a single original equipment muffler, then splits into two
tailpipes to exit via chrome tips. Suspension is comprised of coil
springs in front and coil springs with a torque arm and in
back.
Drive-Ability
The vibrant design on the exterior makes it look fast when standing
still, but that won't help us assess its functionality, so it's off
to the test loop we roll. LS1's have a way of warming up to drivers
and occupants and put some impressive power to the ground, while
maintaining a surefooted grasp with 275/40ZR17 rubber all around,
and fairly new ones that have a mid 2022 date code. Every function
available on this modern muscle car operates as they should. 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.
35 years never looked so good! Or went so fast! Here's an
opportunity to own a special edition Z28 SS and be a part of an
exclusive group. Camaros would take a break from production and
come back completely reconfigured, so the F-bodies of 2002
represented the last of the breed, and the top of the food chain
was the SS anniversary edition. If you're the betting type, put all
your chips on red and pick up this well kept representation.
