Teal 96 Camaro SS Convertible Number 1948
One of only 10 Camaro SS convertibles ever produced in the bright teal color, only available for SS in 1996. Of the 10 convertibles produced, this one has a 6 speed manual transmission. This vehicle was ordered with every Camaro option available except traction control. In addition to the SS package, the Hurst shifter and stainless steel performance exhaust were additional SLP options ordered.
This is an original owner, non-smoker, 87K mile car that has been maintained as new. Anytime anything went wrong it was repaired to bring the vehicle back to full functionality. If interested, I have retained all of the original parts that have been removed. This vehicle served as a daily driver the first six years of service. It has since been semi-retired and used as necessary for back-up transportation and top down cruises on nice summer days.
The car still shows well. I have no hesitation in giving it a good healthy cleaning and entering it in shows. The paint is still in good shape. There is one scratch on the passenger door that could be easily repaired. The original top is in good shape. The rear window was replaced two years ago. The leather in the interior is showing some cracking but no tears. The driver seat back cover was replaced with a new GM leather cover because of the typical wear in the outer bolster. The cover that was removed will be included with the sale and could be repaired and used again. The typical cracked dash was replaced with the correct GM new part. The commonly broken SLP air cleaner was recently replaced with an NOS unit.
Currently, there is a problem in the interior courtesy light circuit I have not been able to track down. The lights stay on all the time and I have not been able to correct the situation. Unfortunately, the remote door locks are on the same circuit, so inactivating the lights has the door locks not working at the moment. The vehicle security system still works, but manual lock and unlock operation is necessary.
The vehicle was involved in a collision that damaged the left front corner of the vehicle. It was repaired at a Chevrolet dealer body shop with GM parts including a correct SLP hood, not aftermarket reproduction. Of interest is this vehicle retains the correct original Hurst shift ****, not the common replacement version found on many of these cars. This vehicle also retains the original 16 inch ZR-1 wheels found only on SS convertibles in 1996. It is SS number 1948. The original console plate had the black plastic center come out. SLP provided a replacement but I have never mounted it.
This vehicle is stock and original except as noted. It has never been modified except for the addition of 97 Camaro anniversary style stripes painted in Dupont silver/green flip-flop paint. The deck lid stripes remain but the replacement hood did not have them painted back on.
The SLP SS supplemental owners manual is still in the glove box. I will also include with sale a set of GM factory manuals and sales brochures for 96 Camaro and the SS package sales brochure supplement.
I am located in Northern Indianapolis. Sale price $8500.

I have held this car over the winter for you so you can enjoy driving this rare 6-speed SS this year with the top down. I had it out recently and turned over 88K miles. This unmolested original owner car can be yours for $7500.
