This 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 ticks many of the right boxes for someone seeking a high-end classic. The new owner would probably tackle a few minor imperfections, but none are bad enough to be deal-breakers. Its presentation is extremely tidy, its interior features enough creature comforts to make any journey an enjoyable experience, and its engine bay houses the range-topping V8. However, the fact it has a genuine 21,000 miles on its odometer could be the icing on the cake. The Camaro is listed here on eBay in Cleveland, Ohio. Bidding sits at $12,000, which is below the reserve.

The 1992 model year marked the end of the line for the Third Generation Camaro range. It served Chevrolet well, with sales totals only dropping below six figures three times during eleven years on showroom floors. Our feature Camaro is a final-year Z28 that presents beautifully. This is hardly surprising because, with only 21,000 miles on the clock, nobody has tried to wear out this classic. The Code 41 Black paint shines nicely courtesy of a recent ceramic coat, and the only defect the seller notes is a minor bump on the passenger side front bumper. This damage pre-dates their ownership, and it seems it might be relatively easy to address. The remaining panels are as straight as an arrow, and the small badges that contrast the predominantly dark exterior look crisp and clean. The Z28 rolls on its flawless original 16″ alloy wheels, and the glass is crystal clear. Purists may disapprove of the aftermarket sunroof, which was installed by the first owner when this classic was new. It is in good condition, and the seller assures potential buyers it doesn’t leak.

Chevrolet focused heavily on aerodynamic efficiency and weight reduction during the Third Generation Camaro’s development cycle as it sought to counter engine power losses caused by tighter emission regulations. The curb weight increased marginally during its production life, but the gains made via fuel injection and engine management countered this. The first owner ordered our feature car with the range-topping 5.7-liter TPI V8, producing 245hp and 345 ft/lbs of torque. Buyers ticking that box on the Order Form received a four-speed automatic transmission, with no manual option offered. However, this combination allowed the Z28 to cover the ¼-mile in 14.9 seconds on its way to 152mph. To place those figures into perspective, a 1983 auto-equipped Z28 would have completed the journey in 16.5 seconds, and its V8 ran out of breath at 127mph. It was obvious to everyone that manufacturers were clawing back lost ground, and the situation would improve further in the coming years. The seller claims this classic has a genuine 21,000 miles on its odometer without mentioning verifying evidence. The car’s overall condition makes the claim plausible, although there is nothing like having that piece of paper in hand that eliminates any doubts. They say the car runs and drives well, with no oil leaks. They believe it would benefit from an alignment, but that is a cheap and painless process.

Sagging headliners were a common theme of cars from the 1980s and early 1990s, and this Camaro is no exception. It has impacted the rear section, with the seller suggesting replacement as the best option. Otherwise, the interior presentation lives up to the seller’s claim that it is almost perfect. The floors retain the original factory mats that protect the carpet admirably. The cloth and vinyl upholstered surfaces are spotless, and the plastic is free from scuffs, physical damage, and UV deterioration. It features the usual array of factory options, but interestingly, the first owner deleted the factory rear defogger. The new owner receives ice-cold air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, cruise control, a leather-wrapped tilt wheel, and a premium AM/FM radio/CD player. The seller indicates one window requires a new motor, but the remaining features work as they should.

This 1992 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 isn’t perfect, but its condition guarantees it will turn heads. Its identified flaws are relatively minor, and the new owner can address them at their leisure. The car has already attracted twenty bids, but I think the price will need to top $15,000 before threatening the reserve. Do you agree, or do you have another figure in mind?
