1995 Camaro Z28 Hardtop - Chicago

I am looking to sell my 1995 Z28 in Chicago....
Hardtop
Bright red exterior, gray cloth interior
123,000 miles
Always garage kept

Mods:
-OEM gray painted Y2K Vette thin-spokes with Kumho ecstas
-PCMforLess programming
-Moroso cold air intake
-160 degree thermostat
-1LE intake elbow
-Aftermarket catback (not sure what kind)
-Powerslot rotors (new)
-Hawk Pads (new)
-Earls stainless steel brake lines (new)
-B&M ripper shifter
-BMR lowering springs

Maintenance completed:
-Passenger window trim (replaced because the one retainer broke off and the window would rattle inside the door)
-Passenger window motor (old motor went bad... replaced about 3 months ago)
-Intake manifold leak (JUST fixed this... it started to drip oil, so I replaced the gasket. Very common problem on LT1s- it should be good for another 50k miles)
-Front bumper cover (the paint was cracking, and it was just cheaper to get a whole new one than to sand the old one down and repaint it)
-Oil changed every 2000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic
-Changed trans fluid with Mobil 1 2k miles ago
-Replaced the rubber bushings in the wiper assembly (the wipers started clanging when on)


Details:
-The car is mechanically sound... it runs like it has about 50,000 miles, and it runs pretty strong for the minimal mods.
-3 owner car, clean carfax. It has been a super reliable car as long as I have owned it.
-The exterior is in decent shape, and cleans up very nicely. There are a few dents and chips from normal driving
-The interior is nearly perfect.

Small issues:
-The tires on the car will need to be replaced soon, but if we work out something I can include the stock salad shooters with nearly new BFGoodrich KDWS tires.
-The front bumper cover I just installed turned out to be a cheap China product, and there is a small "ridge" in the plastic near where the bumper meets the hood. This is not very noticeable unless you are close to the car and are **** like I am (see pics). The back bumper had been bumped prior to me buying the car, and has a few scuffs and spider webbing.
-There is a slight vibration in the lower rpm range when you are on the throttle... I am pretty sure that it is just an exhaust vibration. It was there when I bought the car, and it has not gotten any worse. I bought a full exhaust (headers, ypipe, and catback) that I was going to eventually put on which should remedy the problem, but I never got around to it. It honestly doesnt bother me... as long as you don't let the rpms get below 1400, there is no vibration.
-The steering wheel is off about 3 degrees. The physical alignment of the tires is perfect, but the steering wheel is just barely off center. The shop who last aligned the car didn't center the wheel, but did a good job with the alignment otherwise so I didn't complain.


Summary:
This is basically a no surprise car. The issues I listed above are the only current known issues. I have done a good bit of work in the past few months to get the car ready to sell so that there would be no surprises to the next owner. I have gotten burned in the past when I have bought cars/parts from other people only to find out that they weren't telling the whole story. So I am not going to be like that to anyone else.

I am asking $4800 for the car. Contact me via pm or email at pimpinuofi@hotmail.com if you are interested. I would be happy to take people for test drives or show the car.

Here are a few pics (they will show how clean the car is):

As far as I know, the paint is stock. The car has always been garage kept (both at home and at work, as long as I have owned it), so there isn't any paint fade. Also, there aren't any dashboard cracking issues from long exposure to the sun.

The new front bumper just went on last month, and that is the only part that is freshly painted.

Thanks for the kind words!

hmmm... usually the z28's came from the factory with the top black, although maybe you could order it from the factory like that? Anyway that would make a great car to debadge and make a sleeper. If my deal falls through on another car I will consider yours, willing to drive? I am in MI

Yea, it was a factory option to have the roof and side mirrors painted to match the body. I agree that most Z28s do have the black top and mirrors... I guess this color combo is pretty rare.

"Starting in 1995, Z28 customers could have roof and mirror color match body color by selecting RPO D82 Monochromatic Roof Paint. Base coupes could have a body-colored roof and c-panels so long as they ordered the D82 with the CC1 T-Top's."
