For Sale: 1997 Chevrolet Camaro in Mesa, Arizona

When it comes to modern muscle cars, it is hard to beat a well-kept fourth-generation Camaro for the right mix of power and convenience. Add to that a dash of rarity, and suddenly this 1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 30th Anniversary Edition becomes an exceptionally collectible and drivable Pony Car. Decked out in its beautiful (and original) Arctic White, complemented by a set of full-length orange stripe decals, looks barely broken in thanks to a mere 51,119 miles on its odometer. Depending on what reference you source, this 30th Anniversary Camaro, configured as a fixed-roof coupe with an automatic transmission from the factory, is one of anywhere from 337 to just 16 units ever made. Anyway you slice it, you're unlikely to come across another Camaro just like this one any time soon.

Inside, we find an eye-catching stock interior outfitted in a unique Arctic White Houndstooth color scheme. A power driver's seat, power locks, windows, and mirrors, along with air conditioning and cruise control, add all the modern amenities anyone could want. Thumb controls on its padded steering wheel allow for easy control of the stock AM/FM/CD A/C Delco head unit, making curating a soundtrack simple. The analog HVAC controls located at the base of the center stack facilitate easy temperature adjustment. A center console cupholder and a fold-out second cupholder allow both the driver and passenger to have a cool drink for the ride.

Under that expansive Z/28 hood, we find a numbers-matching 5.7-liter LT1 V-8 engine. When it rolled off the assembly line nearly three decades ago, this Camaro pumped out a stout 285 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. That power is routed through a numbers-matching 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission before heading out to the stock ten-bolt rear, where a set of economical 3.23 gears waits to transfer those ponies to the tarmac via a set of white, factory-painted, sixteen-inch, five-spoke wheels shod in 245/50R-16 G-Max tires.
