Used 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 SS

This car is
#163
in a very limited run of cars produced by SLP (Street Legal
Performance) in 1996.
For the first time since the early 1970's Chevrolet
produced a
Super Sport version of its Camaro.
These cars were shipped to SLP from the factory to
be converted into Super Sports.
All of this was authorized by Chevrolet.
With the SS
upgrade came one of the fastest production cars of the 90's.
The cars would begin life as
Z28 optioned Camaros.
SLP would add upgraded suspension packages, better intake
setups, better exhaust and SS badging.
It has always been rumored that the first couple of
hundred cars that SLP got their hands on were tweaked by hand for better performance.
This would include such things as exhaust manifold polishing, etc.
If this is true, then
this is one of those cars, with it being only car #163 of just a little less than 2500.
Once
SLP was finished, the cars were shipped out to the dealers for sale to the public.
Many of
these cars were special ordered through local dealerships.
1996 was the first year of the
SLP SS Camaro.
It was truly a significant year for Chevrolet.
This year would mark a
true return to performance with the production of the SS Camaro once again.
This particular example has just over 105,000 original miles.
It has been a Texas car for
the last 20 years and has been garage kept and “babied” never raced.
This car is optioned very heavily, just
as many of these
SS's were.
These options include:
keyless
entry,
pwr windows, lock, cruise, tilt, rear defog, fog lights, a/c, pwr mirrors, pwr.
driver seat, leather. Black on Black 6 speed, convertible top. The SLP options included:
SS badging, 17 inch SS (upgraded to chrome) wheels (derived from the famed ZR1
Corvette), Z rated tires, special induction hood, raised rear spoiler and upgraded exhaust.
Convertible top recently replaced. No chips in glass anywhere. Aftermarket upgraded
exhaust. No engine lights. Recent brakes and rotors and new suspension components all
around, cold AC, new convertible top. All interior parts have been redone or replaced
with OEM. The stereo system is also upgraded with special “high end” Pioneer stereo
including sub and CD changer.
