2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 SS 35th Anniversary

Description

An affordable price is often the first thing that gets you to take a look at a car, right? Except this one is a bit different. Collectors know the desirability of a 2002 Chevrolet Camaro 35th Anniversary SS with the official SLP upgrades, a wind-in-your-hair convertible body, and an ultra-desirable six-speed manual. So the commuter piece is just the cherry on top of this low-mileage drop-top.

Averaging less than 1,300 miles annually instantly tells you this car has been treated with respect all its life. So the red paint has a shine that instantly attracts attention. If that wasn't already distinctive enough, this has a terrific graphics package that turns the iconic dual sport stripes into checked flags. It not only highlights sporty elements like the hood scoop and special SS rear spoiler, but it also just seems like a fitting tribute to a car that's both a 35th Anniversary Edition and the last year for these 4th gen speed machines. All the essentials have been well-preserved on this low-mileage instant classic. In fact, the largest defect you're likely to spot are the stripes coming away from below the front grille. It's not a difficult fix, and quite frankly, few people would likely notice if you just removed that portion entirely. The real desirability is sporty lines, bright dual exhaust tips, and bold 17-inch wheels that make sure this Camaro is a true Super Sport.

The black roof looks good in place because it has a clean style and matches the grille and hood scoop trim. But for full appeal, you really want to take it down. Because you not only still get the look of the black, but now there are tasteful gray inserts in the leather seats to give this car added distinction. What makes this stand out is the special 35th Anniversary SS packaging that includes embroidered headrests and a dash plaque. While this is a well-kept collectible, it also has been built for you to really enjoy adding miles to the odometer. That's what the leather-wrapped steering wheel, full gauges, and optional Hurst shifter are for. There is also a long list of desirable features, like a power driver's seat, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, dual airbags, cruise control, tilt steering column, and an eight-speaker Monsoon AM/FM/CD stereo. Plus, with power windows and a power convertible top, you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed luxury to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And with cold-blowing air conditioning, you get to enjoy open-top motoring even on the hottest days of summer.

The SS was the top-dog Camaro that came from Chevrolet at the time. The LS1 under the hood was shared with the Corvette. In fact, while Chevrolet specifically de-tuned the motor to keep the Corvette the pinnacle of power, the masters at SLP were a little more liberating. Part of their packaging included upgrading the exhaust, and many believe the advertised 325 horsepower was slightly underrated to make sure the Corvette did cry foul. Plus, not all of these modern classics have the six-speed manual transmission that puts the power firmly in your control. And speaking of control, four-wheel disc brakes w/ABS, power steering, sway bars front & rear, and grippy Toyo Proxes tires deliver a terrific sports car package.

This is a high-horsepower anniversary convertible that comes with the original window sticker and owner's manual packet. Fourth-gen Camaros don't get much more desirable than this, and it will never be more affordable. Call today!!!
