Dealer Sells Super-Rare 1991 Camaro Z28 Convertible, Only 86 Ever Produced

This post was originally published on this site

This Camaro Z28 convertible is one of the specimens that left the factory in 1991, but as Napoli Classics, the garage trying to find a new owner for this car, explains, the car is even more special thanks to its features.

The dealer says Chevrolet produced only 480 Camaro Z28 convertibles with a five-speed transmission, but the numbers were even lower cars painted in white. Only 86 white convertibles with 5-speed transmissions say daylight in 1991.

The car was bought new from Michigan, and the dealer explains that the numbers are all matching. As anyone can see in the photos shared by the dealer, the Camaro is in perfect shape, with only 39K miles on the clock today.

The car sells with the original owner’s manual, and it has already received several repairs, including a new clutch and a new top. It doesn’t require any further fixes today, so you should be able to drive it home on its wheels (though you should keep an eye on the odometer, as you wouldn’t want to add too many miles).

The Camaro is fitted with air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, and an AM/FM radio.

The Z28 was also fitted as standard with halogen fog lamps, a limited-slip differential, special performance ride and handling suspension, and a special exterior appearance package.

 

As anyone can expect, the 1991 Camaro is not the most desirable (and therefore expensive) car, especially given its production year.

As a result, the selling price isn’t as high as some people would expect, despite the flawless shape and the all-original condition. A Concours Camaro Z28 convertible sells for approximately $40,000, while a specimen rated as excellent would be worth approximately $25,000. A car in good condition can sell for about $14,000, while a fair condition can secure $11,500.

This is why this Camaro Z28 convertible seems to be priced correctly. The garage will let it go for $23,750, and considering how rare it is, the price makes sense. It won’t need anything, so once you bring it home, you can get behind the wheel and drive.

 

The Camaro evolved significantly throughout its lifetime, and the original models continue to be the most desirable.

It was launched for the 1967 model year, coming with what the carmaker described as an example of “how fine an exciting road machine can look.” It was originally offered as a convertible and a sport coupe, with a six-cylinder 140 horsepower and a V8 rated at 210 horsepower offered as standard. Customers could also order more powerful engines, including an upgraded six-cylinder engine generating 155 horsepower.

The V8 lineup included an entirely new Chevrolet V8 engine: the 350 Turbo-Fire, which produced 295 horsepower thanks to a four-barrel carburetor.

All engines could be paired with a standard 3-speed transmission, while a 3-speed unit (exclusive to the SS) and a 4-speed fully synchronized unit (available for all Camaro engines) were optional. A Powerglide automatic was also available in 1967.

Chevrolet tried to target a wide range of customers from the beginning of the Camaro legacy, so the 1967 iteration could be ordered with a long list of options, including AM/FM radio, air conditioning, a sports console, a fold-down rear seat, a custom interior, and an auxiliary lighting group with lamps for the ashtray and the glove compartment.

If you’re interested in this 1967 Camaro, you can find it at Napoli Classics in Milford, Connecticut. The dealer also offers financing options, and who knows, maybe you can get the price a bit lower if you have the right negotiation skills.

However, you should first arrange an in-person inspection and see the car in person before making an offer. The Camaro sells with the original owner’s manual, but you must get a complete picture of its condition. Most likely, the garage can also help you put the car on a lift to inspect the undersides and look for rust damage. It’s safe to assume that you won’t find anything on the undercarriage or in the trunk, but it’s better to be safe than sorry if you believe this Camaro is worth a spot in your garage.
