Vehicle Description
In terms of bang for your buck, cars like this ultra-clean 1999
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 SS SLP are pretty hard to top. LS1 power,
totally stock, and beautifully preserved, this car is either a trip
back in time for you or the perfect blank canvas for something
truly awesome.
The fourth-generation Camaro aged gracefully, and by the time the
1999 models hit the streets, it had become more than just a brash
muscle car. The smooth headlights and big grille opening were
reminiscent of the early second-gen cars and with a hood scoop and
neatly integrated wing, it looked fast without having to do any
loud advertising. Wrapped in factory-applied bright red paint, this
one is shockingly well-preserved and shows just 27,521 original
miles. These Camaros were always about affordable performance,
which is why so many were used, abused, used up, and then thrown
away, and finding one this clean and unmolested is a rather rare
thing. It's clearly been loved, with a glossy finish showing only
minor swirl marks from years of cleaning and waxing and zero
evidence of accident damage. Fit and finish on the largely plastic
bodywork was quite good by GM standards and this car still feels
solid and tight going down the road almost 20 years later.
The interior was highly functional, with supportive gray leather
buckets that held you in place without being restrictive. All the
right equipment makes this Camaro feel luxurious, from the power
seats, windows, seats, locks, and mirrors, to the highly effective
A/C, to cruise control and a thundering AM/FM/CD stereo system, and
it all works as it should. The leather-wrapped wheel provides
controls for the stereo and the quick-witted 4-speed automatic
transmission was awesome for point-and-shoot driving. And as with
the exterior, the interior is beautifully preserved with supple
seating surfaces, a nice dash pad that hasn't been baked by the sun
under that giant windshield, carpets that still look great (with
original floor mats still in the bag) and a car cover. The cargo
area is reasonably-sized and has neat storage cubbies for your
gear.
Camaros got the same all-aluminum LS1 346 cubic inch V8 as the
Corvette. GM played games with the horsepower numbers, but drag
strip results strongly suggest that either the Camaro was
under-rated or the Corvette was over-rated, because the F-body was
very nearly as quick as its big brother. The LS1 is just as
modification-friendly as its earlier small-block siblings, but this
one remains remarkably stock in every way, from the air filter
assembly to the exhaust manifolds. The engine bay is spotless,
beautifully maintained, and just like the factory intended,
complete with all the assembly line decals in place. The
transmission shifts almost too smoothly when you're just cruising,
but when you stomp the loud pedal, things happen quickly and in a
very big way, so don't assume that the auto-shifter is a hindrance
to performance. Obviously it's never seen winter weather, with the
chassis showing proper red overspray and zero signs of salt spray.
And even OEM wheels look great in chrome, with these factory SS
hoops carrying 275/40/17 Goodyear Eagle F1 performance radials with
lots of life left in them.
Once again, you have this opportunity to grab a car that's been
treated right its entire life and get ahead of the curve. It's only
a matter of time before these are highly-sought collectables, so
grab this one and start having fun today. Call now!
