Vehicle Description
Back in 2002, when we all thought the Camaro was going away
forever, the ultimate F-body was this Chevrolet Camaro 35th
Anniversary edition with the SLP SS package. Finished in a stunning
color combination and showing only 11,838 original miles, this is
the kind of car that in 20 years will be the centerpiece of some
very important collections.
Bright Red wasn't new addition to the Camaro color palette in 2002,
but there still aren't any better colors for your high-visibility
special edition cars, especially those that'll be wearing stripes.
Looking like it just rolled out of the showroom, it is simply
dazzling in the sun and plays off the Camaro's shape like it was
dipped in the paint rather than having it sprayed on. Completely
unmarked and maintained by a passionate enthusiast, it may even be
better now than it was when it was new, thanks to a lot of
hand-buffing and hours of detailing by experts. The SS package
added the cool ram-air hood scoop, and the twin stripes running
down the length of the body are an ideal tribute to 35 years of
awesome Camaros. This car also received special 35th Anniversary
badges on the front fenders, a unique rear spoiler, unique wheels,
and SLP's trick center-exit exhaust system.
While a great many of these cars got plain interiors, the two-tone
leather inside this one is the ideal complement to the Bright Red
paint. Instead of brutal, it's sophisticated, taking the Camaro
upscale for its final voyage. Loaded with every possible option,
including power seats, windows, and locks, T-tops, and a fantastic
stereo system, this Camaro feels more like a Cadillac inside. The
leather is like new, showing zero wear, and it's still soft and
supple, even 15 years later. The carpets are unmarked, still
carrying the original matching floor mats (still in their plastic
wrappers!), and even the seat belts, which are prone to stains, are
fresh and clean. The A/C is ice cold, the gauges all spring to
attention when you turn the key, and the stereo sounds spectacular.
The trunk is neatly finished with matching gray carpets and offers
additional storage underneath, making this Camaro a car that can go
cross-country without complaint.
Camaros received the Corvette's LS-1 engine, and while GM claimed
the all-aluminum powerplant was de-tuned from its flagship,
performance numbers suggest that these are just as strong as the
fantastic plastic sports car. Bolstered by SLP's ram air induction,
a custom engine management system, and that burly dual exhaust
system, this car is still a legitimate threat on the street. A
quick-witted 4-speed automatic makes it easy to drive (just stomp
and steer) while still remaining civilized when you're sitting in
traffic. SLP also added their own suspension tweaks, including
special shocks, sway bars, and springs, and Anniversary models
received a set of gorgeous alloys that would foreshadow the designs
in the pipeline. This one carries 275/40/17 BFGoodrich g-Force T/A
radials, which are only the second set of tires it has ever
worn.
Collector's items don't get much more obvious than this, and no
serious Camaro collection is complete without an anniversary car.
