1992 HERITAGE EDITION 25TH ANNIVERSARY CAR - INCLUDES SPECIAL 25TH ANNIVERSARY BADGES ON DASHBOARD AND REAR SPOILER - ONE OF 1254 PRODUCED! CAR HAS SPENT IT'S ENTIRE LIFE IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AREAS OF TEXAS - SUPER CLEAN AND STRAIGHT BODY - WITH NO RUST !! 3RD GENERATION (1982-1992) CAMAROS ARE FOLLOWING MUCH THE SAME PATH AS PREVIOUS GENERATION CARS - MANY OF WHICH OF NOW WORTH MANY TIMES THEIR ORIGINAL PRICE. IT IS GETTING VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND A "CLEAN" ORIGINAL CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN MODIFIED BY BY SOMEONE. MANY OF THE CARS THAT WERE SOLD IN NORTHERN STATES HAVE RUSTED OUT BY NOW - OR ARE ALREADY IN THE HANDS OF COLLECTORS.SEVERAL CAR COLLECTOR MAGAZINES HAVE CALLED THE 3RD GENERATION CARS SUCH AS THE LATE 1980'S IROC Z-28', AND THE SIMILAR 1991-1992 Z-28'S "BARGAINS" - WITH CLEAN LOW MILEAGE VERSIONS SELLING FOR UP TO $20K. THIS CAR IS NOT "LOW-MILAGE" (CURRENT MILEAGE IS 121209) - BUT IT IS CERTAINLY EQUAL IN CONDITION TO MANY CARS SELLING FOR $10K- $15K. YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A CLEANER BODY. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN EARLY 2008 - WHILE ON A FISHING TRIP TO LAKE AMISTAD IN DEL RIO, TX. (ON MEXICO - TEXAS BORDER) I PURCHASED FROM THE 2ND OWNER - AN AIR FORCE PILOT STATIONED AT LAUGHLIN AFB NEARBY. (CAR STILL HAS A BASE PARKING PASS STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD). HE WAS BEING TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER AFB ACROSS THE COUNTRY - AND NEEDED TO SWAP TO A TRUCK TO MOVE HIS BELONGINGS. HE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR A COUPLE OF YEARS PRIOR - FROM A WOMAN WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER - BOTH OF THESE PREVIOUS OWNERS TOOK GOOD CAR OF THE CAR - CAR IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE FOR A NEARLY 20 YEAR OLD VEHICLE. - 5.0 liter "TUNED PORT INJECTION" (TPI) ENGINE RUNS VERY SMOOTH AND STRONG - I HAVE NOT PUT SIGNIFICANT MILES ON THE CAR - BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO USE ANY OIL - IT DOES NOT SMOKE - AT ALL - WHEN STARTED - EVEN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OR WEEKS. - TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE - ICE COLD AIR CONDITIONING - CAR RUNS AT NORMAL TEMPERATURE EVEN IN TEXAS HEAT. - CONVERTIBLE TOP IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION - IT WAS REPLACED IN ABOUT 2006 - AND CAR HAS BEEN IN INSIDE STORAGE MOST OF THE TIME SINCE. - BRAKES ARE NEW, SUSPENSION SEEMS FINE - CAR DRIVES SMOOTH, TRACKS STRAIGHT, AND CORNERS WELL. THERE IS SOME MINOR WEAR ON THE DRIVER SEAT, THE DASHTOP HAS A PAD ON IT, AND WHEN I BOUGHT IT - CAR HAD A STEERING WHEEL COVER ON IT DUE TO CRACKING ON THE ORIGINAL LEATHER STEERING WHEEL. POWER WINDOWS WORK FINE, THE POWER LOCKS WORK ALSO, BUT STICK AT TIMES - PROBABLY NEEDS THE PULL RODS LUBRICATED. THERE ARE SOME SMALL CRACKS ON THE PLASTIC TRIM PANEL THAT COVERS THE FRONT EDGE OF THE CONVERTIBLE TOP - HAS NO EFFECT ON OPERATION OF THE TOP. LATCH ON THE CENTER CONSOLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT DOES NOT SEEM TO CATCH. POWER OUTSIDE MIRRORS WORK FINE - BUT SWITCH FOR SIDE TO SIDE ADJUSTMENT STICKS AT TIMES. "TUNED PORT INJECTION" EMBLEM ON REAR BUMBER HAS A COUPLE OF LETTERS THAT HAVE PEELED OFF - VERY EASILY REPLACED. - CAR IS NEARLY 100% ORIGINAL - EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD IS OEM - INCLUDING THE BRAND NEW DELCO 6 YEAR BATTERY I JUST INSTALLED. (When I replaced the battery - I noticed a small amount of surface rust on the battery tray - I treated this with a "rust stopping" spray. The body (fenders, quarter panels, etc.) have no rust.) - DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG - CAR INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL 16" FACTORY ALLOY WHEELS - TIRES ARE FAIR (I was contemplating upgrading to larger tires / wheels) - PAINT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION OVERALL - VERY SHINY AND GOOD COLOR ON THE RED STRIPES. CAR'S NOSE WAS REPAINTED BY PREVIOUS OWNER - HAS NO SCRAPES / SCRATCHES ON LOWER SPOILER. I NOTICED SOME MINOR OVERSPRAY ON UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD - NOT SURE IF THIS WAS FROM NOSE TOUCH UP - OR IF ENTIRE CAR MAY HAVE BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REPAINTED AT SOME POINT - PAINT APPEARS TO BE ALL FACTORY CORRECT - INCLUDING STRIPES. OVERALL - THIS IS GREAT CONVERTIBLE FOR MANY PURPOSES: - CAR IS PART OF VERY SMALL PRODUCTION RUN FOR Z-28 25TH ANNIVERSARY CARS (At the time this car was produced - all the focus was on the "new" Camaro due out in late 1992.) - 1992 Models - as the last of the 3rd Generation Cars - incorporated all design enhancements and "upgrades" for these models. (First model years of a new body tend to have more problems - which are addressed through recalls or service bulletins, and then changes are made to production cars based on these "fixes". When a car body is produced for 10 years - the last year will tend to be a much more reliable and better made vehicle.) - CAR WILL BE 20 YEARS OLD IN ABOUT A YEAR - QUALIFYING FOR "VINTAGE" PLATES AND CHEAPER INSURANCE IN MANY STATES. - CAR DRIVES RUNS AND DRIVES WELL NOW, WILL TURN EVERY HEAD AT THE FRIDAY NIGHT "CRUISES" THIS SUMMER - AND WITH NEAR PERFECT BODY AND NEARLY ALL ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT - THIS CAR - PROPERLY MAINTAINED - SHOULD INCREASE IN VALUE. I purchased this car for occasional use. I have had access to "free" climate controlled storage for the car since I purchased it, vehicle is in Southlake, TX - near the DFW airport. Due to a very busy business schedule, I just have not had time to enjoy the car as much as I hoped, and I may need to find other storage arrangements for the car. I am listing the car in the hopes that it can find a good "home" with a collector - or with a driver who will recognize the benefits of the car of owning a great looking convertible that will increase in time. One of the attached "photos" is a scan of the Texas Vehicle Inspection Report - This is a safety and emissions check I had performed at Classic Chevrolet in Grapevine, TX - car PASSED all categories. Photos also show special Texas license plate I obtained for the car - "Z28-25". I have a newer version of this on order - temporarily I have registered under a "regular" plate until the new custom license plate arrives. I will pass on the rights to the special Texas plate to any purchaser in the State of Texas.On May-20-10 at 17:19:18 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDING A FEW MORE DETAILS: Only major item that is not original is the radio - car currently has a pretty nice SONY CD system in it - 57 watts x 4 channels. I do not know if the speakers were upgraded or not also. Stereo sounds very good, CD plays fine. Car also has an Alpine remote alarm system installed - I have not really used the alarm system at all - can't really say for certain it is working properly since I have not needed to set it - but I believe it is. My orginal plans were to restore the car to 100% original at some point - should be thousands of factory GM radios for these cars available used out there.
