"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
51,493 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
This example shows vibrantly with its Bright Red paint, contrasted
by the black tunnels of the inset dual headlights that flank the
nose and top a set of fog lights mounted in the ground swooping
grille. 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 blend well with the red paint and pick up on the black
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 include blemishes on a side
mirror, touched up and untouched scratches, a number of inclusions
in the paint, chips, chin scrapes, and scuffs throughout.
Interior
Streamline by modern Camaro standards, our door panels are clean
graphite plastic with gray cloth inserts, a few well placed
buttons, some minor storage on the bottom, and all are in great
condition with some warping of the lower plastic on both doors in
the same spot. Two tone graphite 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 in a more compact configuration. 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 a Pioneer
AM/FM/CD/AUX/USB radio, framed in black plastic which turns into
the center console housing the shifter, and the entire interior
looks fresh. The gray carpet still looks good and the deep but
narrow trunk also shows little use.
Drivetrain
Tucked deep into the bay is Chevrolet's venerable 5.7 liter LT1 V8,
capable of 275 horsepower and mated here to a 4L60E 4-speed
automatic transmission that routes power to the 10 bolt rear axle
with 2.73 gears and Positraction.
Undercarriage
Typical patina and surface rust on a driven car but dry conditions
and no structural rust is found. Here, the single exhaust finds a
single muffler which deploys two tail pipes and exits through
rectangular tips. Power disc brakes are at all four wheels and
suspension consists of coil springs at both ends with a torque
armin back.
Drive-Ability
Solid, straight, and powerful. Handling is fantastic and without a
manual, you can focus on going fast and holding on! Our ZR rated
tires have a mid 2021 date code so as long as you keep the burnouts
to a reasonable level, you won't need tires yet! This well cared
for unit checks all the boxes in terms of functionality with the
exception of the A/C which blows cool but not cold. Everything else
works. 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 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,
topless!
