"The Z28's 5.7 liter LS1 V8, a slightly detuned version of the
Corvette's engine, is small compared with GM's old big blocks, but
its displacement is vast compared with that of most passenger car
engines offered today. The torque curve is like the Mississippi
River, broad, deep, and flat. Once the Z28 begins to assert itself,
it's all over. In the end, then, the Z28 takes another round in
this ongoing rivalry and continues to be one of the best
performance buys on the planet." Excerpted from Car and Driver's
February 1999 comparison of the Z28 and Ford Mustang GT.
For consignment, a 1999 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 with a title verified
40,997 actual miles. This is a one owner car that's always been
garage kept, always used for enjoyment and never employed as a
daily driver. It comes to you with service records and a copy of
the window sticker. What a find!
Exterior
This car is awash in Flame Red paint with tasteful, contrasting tan
canvas soft top. There's also contrast in the black and the modest
Z28 call outs on the fender, but everything else is glossy and
clean red paint. In profile, this car is a robust wedge with the
top up and a wind cheating laser with that top down as the raked
windshield, straight shoulder line, and flat flowing rear wing
makes easy work of oncoming air. The tri-colored tail light lenses
break up the sea of red out back and are immediately recognizable,
while rectangular exhaust exhausts the product of the V8's
combustion. 16-inch chrome wheels carry 50 series tires with a mid
2019 date code. Imperfections are limited to a small scratch on the
hood, an inclusion on the wing, a surface scratch on a fender, and
a scuff on a rear panel.
Interior
Standard fare here included Neutral and black plastics with a
patterned cloth insert on the doors and fully ergonomic handles and
controls, both looking great. Two tone Neutral cloth bucket seats
are up front on this F-body, and along with the deep 2+2 seats in
back, present very nicely. A leather wrapped black steering wheel
holds an airbag in the center and leads to a simple gauge cluster
under a single pane of plexiglass with just the pertinent
information displayed. The center stack is an integrated
arrangement of the AM/FM/CD radio and simple climate controls, all
with plastic buttons and knobs and in great shape. The center
console houses the shifter, a cupholder, and the armrest and
storage compartment that have all held up very well over the past
25 years. Low pile tan carpet looks showroom fresh and the deep
trunk is fully finished and clean.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a GM's venerable 5.7 liter LS1 V8, fuel injected
and putting out 305 horsepower. It's tied to a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission which sends power to the 10 bolt rear axle
with 3.23 gears and Positraction.
Undercarriage
Clean conditions are found underneath where a single exhaust runs
through an original muffler which emits two tailpipes that
terminate in rectangular tips. Coil spring suspension is found
front and rear with a torque arm in the back. Four wheel disc
brakes are also onboard. Other than some general patina, the
underside is clean and dry.
Drive-Ability
The LS1 fires right up and in short order, we find ourselves on the
test loop where the F-body delivers good power, straight tracking,
and excellent handling. Everything works on this well preserved
example with the exception of the up and down motion of the power
mirrors; no deal breaker here! 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.
A one-owner performance car from 1999 with an LS1 engine and about
40,000 miles? We'll keep this part short so you can run to the
phone and register your interest on this fantastic find. Operators
are standing by!
