Motivation to build the detached garage/pole barn-Another Chevy in the family
Permalink  
 


Been trolling now and then for a nice clean convertible whether it be a Mustang or GM product since Tina and I are back in the land of cool evenings and temperate weather compared to hot and sultry Kansas City, and found this one on CL this week.  Picked it up today!  nana

1995 Z28 Camaro Convertible almost completely original down to the factory exhaust

LT1 275hp/325tq (numbers matching for what it matters in a car of this age)

4 speed auto

4 wheel disc brakes with a posi rear end

EFI and all the goodness that goes with that

AC

Power windows, locks, driver's seat, remote trunk release, and even has both original key fobs believe it or not.

It has new tires, but the fronts need a balance, and the top will need to be replaced in the next year or so since it's original to the car.

I about stole it for a great price from an old retired gentleman that wanted the garage space for his boat.  I spent less on this entire car than I did on the 383 engine I just dropped in the Chevelle.  clonk

Really drives nice, and I'm surprised by the power in the LT1.  She gets up and scoots, and has no problem laying down two black lines.  I can understand why some of the car guys are switching to the newer stuff, even though this Camaro is not as nice as the really new stuff, but it's nice to get in hit the key and go.  I'll always have the love of Chevelle's, but this sure is a fun car even if I don't have any hair to blow in the wind as we cruise down the highway.  laughing

Nice snag Stan. Older May be more fun, but newer are also fun and much less painful

We had almost a twin to it back in the day, only difference was t-tops instead of drop top. You will enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of green cars, but this one is growing on me.  It needs some detailing, so some weekend I'll tackle that.  The tan interior/top is a nice combo.  Always a classic.

Jon H.-I remembered you had a Camaro at one point, but didn't remember what color it was.  Maybe this one will bring back good memories when you see it.

Looks nice and just like a car I looked at last fall, if it is the car it fell to nice hands.  Just in time for summer time fun.

Congrats! That's a nice looking car. Any upgrade plans for her?

People in the club that know me will smile when I say this...but my plan is to keep it completely stock. 

I did install a K&N air filter since the one in it looked 5 years old and was pretty plugged up, but otherwise I want to leave it stock and just enjoy it.  If I want to make loud vroom vroom sounds, I can always hop in the Chevelle.  thumbsup

 Any side bets going on that yet...stirpot

You would be ahead to leave the manifolds. I believe they were quite efficient as is.

I have a header "kit" for the '62 409, but am liking the quiet engine compartment too.....geeze, I MUST be getting old...rolleyes
