2003 camaro SS

Is there such a thing as a 2003 camaro SS. I cant fine anywhere on the net that has them for sale of pictures of them. I am interested in buying one in the near future because I heard great things about the 2003 SS.

There's no such thing. The car hasn't been in production since 02.

Nope. They made a special Z28 and Trans Am show car but that's about it. The 02 35th Anniversary cars were just an appearance thing. Look for a new Camaro on a few years.

No 2003's were sold to the public, but this was a 2003 Concept

That is probably the car he is talking about, but that's not a 2003. GM had a 99 (I think) Z28, and a 00 (I think) Trans-Am, just sitting in the lot. So they decided to build the (2) one off's. But it is not a 2003 by a long shot.

Heard that from Scott himself during F-Body Gathering 7 in Atlanta.

A rumor started at the show (NOT BY SCOTT, HE DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS BEING SAID), is that this was an exercise and showed us possible details of the 5th gen styling. Just a rumor, just passing it on. It probably isn't fact.

I hope not! Beyong the few improvements it still looked like an LS1 Camaro, but the Trans Am was all together different. (see the front)

More a show car than a concept car. The Sunoco Camaro and the Trans Am were built for the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise.

For a while they were also seeing if there was enough interest in the body kit to make it available.

Thats because it was an LS1 Camaro.


poSSum, I thought they were calling it a concept? just like how the SEMA cars are just moddiflied production cars but they still call them concepts.

Those were 2002's, the only F-bodies I ever heard of refered to as 2003s were the Sunoco Camaro and 421SD Trans Am.

Camaro production ended August 2, 2002.

The Ste. Therese factory was soon after taken apart.

The next to last one (a red SS) was auctioned off by GM for $71,500.

The actual last one sits in the Corvette Meusem in Bowling Green Kentucky.

To put it bluntly: There are no 2003 Camaros.

Period

That's nice. I'll take one in black please.
I noticed the 427 decal on the hood. Was it from SLP(the motor)?

I think Callaway also did a Camaro mod in 2003 too.

Did they ever end up racing that blue Camaro though? That car has AIX all over it..
