This is one of 93 red, solid/fixed roof hardtop (not t-top) Camaros with a 6-speed manual transmission that was built in 1997. While most of those 93 cars had black roofs and mirrors, this car has the optional monochromatic color scheme on the roof and mirrors (RPO code D82).The car has a charcoal grey leather interior with 30th anniversary Camaro logos embossed on seats. It is 100 percent stock with under 28,000 miles on the original 305 horsepower LT1 engine, Borg Warner T56 6-speed manual transmission and Street Legal Performance (SLP)-upgraded optional Torsion rear-end with 3.42 gears. It has $7,243 in performance upgrades from SLP to turn the car from a base Z28 into a Super Sport. I have all the SLP documentation (options and birth certificate) on the car as well as the original window sticker, owner's manual, build sheet, RPO code break-down and special SLP supplemental owner's manual.This car runs/sounds great and is exceptionally clean inside and out. PM me with contact info any questions you may have. $15,900 OBO Thanks for looking!

Curious about the “Certificate of Birth”. How did you get a hold of that?
Nice ride!

I believe the previous/first owner had purchased it when available through SLP.

Full binder of paperwork!

Nice looking ride. I miss the 2OTL. I love my 1LE but there will always be a special place in my heart for a LT1SS. If this were a T-Top non-monochromatic car I would probably be trying to take a look. GLWS it is hard to come by a nicer clean example these days such as yours.

Thank you. You should be able to find what you are looking for a little easier. It's a great car! I hope I can find a good home for it.

The birth certificate was offered by SLP to the 4th generation Camaro SS owners. You use to be able to order them from their website. Not sure if the certificate is still available today.

Still available. Lots of interest, but no money in my hand yet.
