Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this 27k-Mile 1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 convertible.
The pony car races have been going on for decades: Ever since the Mustang debuted in the mid-1960s, it has competed head-to-head with the Camaro (and with other vehicles in the segment) for market share. By the 1990s, both the Camaro and the Mustang were in their fourth generations, and the battle raged on. Today’s Camaro convertible is a standout survivor from that neo-classic era with only 27,509 miles on the odometer. It is being offered by a private seller in Peachtree City, Georgia, and the auction ends on Tuesday.
Finished in Bright Red, this Camaro clearly comes from an enthusiast’s garage. The seller posted the following comment on the auction: “I have driven it several long distances and it drives like new. Paint is near flawless and top works as it should. The car has been stored inside its entire life.”
One thing you may not know about this car is that all 1993 through 2002 Camaros were built in Canada. General Motors had closed up shop at the Van Nuys assembly plant in California and moved production to Sainte-Therese, Quebec, beginning in late 1992. In addition to the new facility, there were also new techniques and tools implemented at the time including construction using sheet molding compound (SMC) which was a form of fiberglass. The Camaro’s F-body platform was again shared with its badge-engineered sibling, the Pontiac Firebird.
Aside from the audio system (which has been upgraded to an Alpine radio with Bluetooth compatibility) this car is all stock. Momentum comes from an LT1 5.7-liter OHV V8 mated to a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission and a limited-slip differential. The powertrain was rated at 275 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque when new.
This Camaro was previously listed on AutoHunter in September and is now being offered at a lower reserve price. Here is your (second) chance to buy a well-kept Z28. Best of all (at least according to the photos in the listing) it comes with a bowtie-branded cassette tape. I wonder what kind of tunes that has on it?
Finally, you may have heard: Chevrolet has discontinued the Camaro for the 2024 model year, but company representatives said, “This is not the end of the Camaro’s story.” It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the important model. Meanwhile, pick up a classic that is bound to appreciate!
