I am looking at buying this car and the current owner claims that he has a 1995 SS. Now he also states that the SS package was a dealer option in 1995. So it came in as a Z28 and the dealer put on the SS equipment. Has anyone every heard of this? Or am I about to get hosed? Thanks for the advice!

 

no.

 

no disrespect meant. I'm new to this so you surely know more than me about it. I have been searching around for information about it. Do you know a site where I can confirm what you are saying?

 

You can just trust me. 1996 was the first year of reintroduction of the SS.

 

Or you can go ahead and over pay for a Z28 with an aftermarket hood, spoiler, and wheels.

 

1996 was the first year of the SS.
The dealer NEVER installed any of the SS equipment - always done by SLP.

IIRC, there were a few prototypes that actually were 1995 models in 96 trim (but I seriously doubt this is one of them)

VIN 10th digit is the year:
S - 1995
T - 1996

The SS option was RPO R7T - you can check the RPO list (glove compartment) for that option

 

thank you, that was much more helpful. Because what I'm getting from this guy is "trust me".....So that is the last thing I want to hear from someone else right now.

 

I am the original owner of a 96 SS there is no such thing as a 95 SS. 1996 was the first year they stared the making the SS CAMARO up again and is the lowest production SS CAMARO ever made low 2200 made.

 

And look at what bad it would have done you to just "trust me." Oh... wait... I'm right.

 

this vehicle has an "S" in the tenth position of the VIN.

 

That means that it is a '95, nothing else.

 

maybe you are right....but I don't know you, I have never read anything on have said on this site before today, so how do I know your reputable? I didn't, I needed some facts, not just a "trust me" if you can't understand that then go find another thread to talk in. Besides that you use AIM so you can't be that smart!! I'm trying to be light hearted here. thanks for trying. I do appreciate it.

 

I guess you use Trillion then, wow, big deal. Be light hearted when you tell this guy thank you for trying to keep you misinformed about his car so that he could try to get you to buy it for the price of a car that it isn't.

 

You could have just gone to something like Kelley Blue Book to figure out if he was asking a fair price or not and then seen that there was no option for the "SS Package" in '95. But why would someone smart enough to not use AIM think to check if the price they are about to pay for a car is fair or not.

 

I did go there. But he was so insistant that he was right, that I wanted to look at other sources. BTW, IM's are gay I don't use'em
