Does anyone know...I have Black 1997 Camaro Z28 with LT1 and i was tryin to figure out what the true 30th Anniversay camaro was...do all 1997s have the stiching on the seats? is the real ann. edition the ones that are white with orange strips and white interior and slp upgrades?

 

(Moved to the correct forum).

Anniversary cars were like this:

ALL Camaros made in an Anniversary year can be considered "Anniversary" Camaros as indicated by the badges, specal stitching/trim/etc...

HOWEVER...

Anniversary EDITION Camaros were different. In 1997, Anniversary EDITION Camaros were white with orange rally stripes, white interior, etc. like you said...a TRUE Anniversary Camaro. Since your car is black, you don't have a true Anniversary EDITION Camaro, but it was made during an Anniversary year.

 

i agree but hey its still fun to tell people that its is the real deal lol

 

As Jason said, you can call all '97s anniversary cars - because they were all made in the 30th anniversary year - and some people like to do that. Seeing that my car (like yours) is just a Black '97 Z28 (nothing special), I don't go around calling it an anniversary car just because it has "30" stitched on the headrests. Our cars don't look like this...

 

Its not the real deal, but look on the bright side, we got nice embroidered leather seats.

 

Yeah!

And I've found that people notice the seats too. I swear, though, that I always explain that my car is not a 30th anniversary car.

I think the '97 is the only 4th gen that is unique and truly identifiable from the other years. Of course, only fellow Camaro guys know that the newer three-colour taillights and newer interior combined with the old-style front end peg the car as a '97.

 

Thanks guys thats pretty much what a have found out. But nun the less its still a sweet ride and a major part in the late muscle car family.

 

COOL! Does that mean my car is a 97!



My car matches that description.

 

Excellent job! Looks perfect.

 

Check out the link in my sig. You'd be even more impressed if you saw what it looked like when I got it.

 

I already did. Lots of work went into that... and it was worth it!

 

Thanx. I wasn't quite thinking that when I was in the middle of it. Seemed like it would never get done.
