Vehicle Description
1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible
"The fortunes of war have varied over the decades. But the report
from the front as 1994 gets underway shows the tide clearly running
in Chevrolet's favor. Against a commendable, smooth and refined new
Mustang, the Camaro, redesigned last year for its fourth
generation, more than holds its own. In fact, it kicks ponytail. In
nearly every performance measurement we take, the Camaro Z28 runs
all over the Mustang GT." Car and Driver, Dec. 1993 comparison to
the Mustang GT.
For consignment, a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with a title verified
94,150 actual miles. The original dealer brochure for the '94 Z28
boasted, Compare Camaro technology features and performance
engineering with any other car in this price range. Then drive
Camaro. You'll see why the readers of Autoweek have voted the new
generation Z28 one of America's 10 best cars."
Exterior
Our dark knight is clad in Black paint but this one has accent
stripes on the hood that flow back to the intake duct details as if
giving the air a runway, (although the ducts are strictly
cosmetic). Inset dual headlights flank the nose under which a set
of fog lights are mounted. There's a fantastic detail on this
generation in which the front fenders sport an extrusion that
bleeds into the side mirrors. Beyond that, the shoulder line is
straight until it blends with edges of the rear wing which forms a
gap between the integrated connection and sits flat on the decklid.
In back, red and white tail lights contrast with the black paint
and pick up on the red bowtie next to the ghost Z28 emblem. A very
nice black canvas top caps our car and is equipped with a glass
window. With that top down, the raked window solidifies the wind
defying wedge shape of the car while providing a sizable open
cabin. Imperfections are few with some chin scrapes, general
scuffs, flex cracks on the bumper cover, and some curb rash.
Overall, a very clean presentation on the outside.
Interior
Streamline by modern Camaro standards, our door panels are clean
black plastic with gray cloth inserts, a few well placed buttons,
some minor storage on the bottom, and all are in great condition.
Two tone black and gray cloth bucket seats have held up well here
and indicative of a car that's been pampered. The rear 2+2 share
the pattern but offer less side support and a no frills space from
which to enjoy the ride. The black leather wrapped steering wheel
has low connection points leaving an open rim for maneuverability
and framing a simple instrument cluster ahead. Uncomplicated
controls are to the right, canted towards the driver, and include
A/C knobs and an AM/FM/Cassette radio, framed in black plastic
which turns into the center console housing the shifter, and the
entire interior looks younger than the 94k miles on the odometer.
The gray carpet still looks good and the deep but narrow trunk also
shows little use.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, the 5.7 liter LT1 V8 is tucked under the cowl,
rated at 275 horsepower and mated to a 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission sending power to the 10 bolt axle with 2.73 gears and
the G80 option of Positraction. Power disc brakes are employed on
this F-body front and rear. The bay presents very nicely and our
consignor states a new OptiSpark has been added along with plugs,
wires, and a water pump.
Undercarriage
Some expected surface rust on heavy metal components including the
driveshaft is evident, some residual oil but it's no Exxon Valdez
situation, and we note some typical soot on the knuckles. Beyond
that, a straight forward undercarriage that's relatively clean and
fully intact. A single exhaust flows through a FlowMaster muffler
which exudes two pipes ending in squarish tips under the bumper
cover. Suspension is found to be coil spring up front and coil
springs with a torque arma in the back.
Drive-Ability
This is a tight package, nothing extraneous or over the top. No
wild graphics or crazy colors, and this straightforward Z performs
the same way. Solid, straight, and powerful. Handling is fantastic
and without a manual, you can focus on going fast and holding on!
This well cared for unit checks all the boxes in terms of
functionality and we note nothing out of place. 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.
Maybe you had one and traded it for a minivan when the kids were
born. Or maybe you needed something more practical for your commute
to the office. Chances are, if you had one, you would miss it. And
for good reason. These are fun, fast, and somewhere between analog
classic and old school modern. Here's a clean version that hasn't
been messed with. It's stock and clean and, when the time is right,
semi-topless!
