This 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Convertible is a full wish list in one car. After all, it's a one-owner low-mileage drop-top that has a sporty style, loaded interior, overdrive transmission, and plenty of fuel-injected V8 power.
This is an ideal year to collect a Camaro. It was the final year for the 4th gen, and it was the 35th anniversary. So it's great to find one as well-preserved as this example. The Bright Red paint shows all the right signs of being the factory application, and averaging about 3,100 miles annually helps prove that this one has been treated with care. And of course, we all know the kind of extra reverence you get when you find a car that has only had one owner for over two decades. Lower mileage and better respect mean clean lines for shapely presented details on the body. And while these Z/28s already had the look an aggressive sports car needs, this one turns it up with details that don't stray from stock. This includes the SS-style hood with air scoop and full body kit - including a three-piece rear spoiler.
The white roof has a clean look, and we like the hint of a Coca-Cola color theme it gives this all-American. But for the best distinction, we really like to take the top down. After all, the darkness of the black interior goes well with the grille and hood trim to give this Z/28 the proper power car dark attitude. The supple leather gives this a nice style, and you can see there has been plenty of care to keep this looking good. In fact, the overall condition reaffirms this feeling of less use than its contemporaries. This has all the best amenities, like a power driver's seat, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, power driver's seat, cup holder center console, tilt wheel, and a powerful AM/FM/CD stereo. Owning a modern classic also means modern safety, including dual airbags and anti-lock brakes. But the factory features you are likely going to like the best are the power windows and power convertible top. They work together so that you can open this Camaro up to the world without ever leaving the driver's seat. And cold-blowing air conditioning lets you enjoy the top-down lifestyle even in the summer.
These final 4th-gen Z-cars are sought-after because you were now upgraded to the 5.7-liter LS1 V8. That's what makes this such an instant classic. With 310 horsepower right out of the box, this is a fuel-injected speed machine. But the full driving experience reminds you this one was built to offer the right balance of performance and comfort. It starts with the four-speed automatic transmission. This is quick with a kick-down to release the power, and it's also happy to cruise on the highway in overdrive. Plus, cruise control, power steering, and a limited-slip rear end make the long haul easy. And the four-wheel disc brakes and sway bars front & rear are great to open up the back roads.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual, convertible boot, and two sets of keys. This is the right mix of a comfortable cruiser and a bright stunner. So if you're looking for a true classic that delivers true performance - all without breaking the bank - call today!
