‘LS1Tech’ Member Selling LS1 Camaro with Only 884 Original Miles!
Camaro SS is 19 years old but it is like-new, having barely been broken-in.
Have you ever dreamed of owning a brand new fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro SS? If you were a teenager in the late-1990s or early-2000s, the odds are good that you spent long hours pining over the LS1-powered Chevy muscle car. Unless you were a rich kid, dreaming of owning a brand new LS1 Camaro was as close as you got, but there is a 2001 Camaro SS posted in the LS1Tech Marketplace that is in like-new condition, with less than a thousand miles on the odometer.
This fourth gen Camaro was posted by White Camaro and while it isn’t exactly new, this is as close as you are going to get when talking about a car that is 19 years old.
New Camaro, 19 Years Later
When the OP posted this 2001 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in the LS1Tech Marketplace, the following, brief information was provided.
884 original miles.
Obviously car is mint.
Fully documented.
SLP 6 speed car.
12 disc changer.
Leather.
The OP also included a collection of pictures of the car inside and out, as well as a look at the pristine factory floor mats, the window sticker and a pair of Camaro SS keychains.
As you can see in the pictures, this LS1-powered Chevy is in flawless condition and with just 884 miles on the odometer, it makes sense that it doesn’t appear to be weathered at all. This car has clearly been kept tucked away and driven sparingly. There is no direct shot of the seats, but there are pictures of the dashboard and the shifter, both of which are in perfect condition. The carpeting also appears to be flawless in the shifter picture, looking like a brand new car inside and out.
Question on the Cluster
This 2001 Camaro SS has been available in the marketplace for a long time, with the listing dating back to August 2019. Recently, this car has been discussed a bit because of an odd feature. KingSumthn pointed out that it seems to have a gauge cluster from a Firebird.
I’m very interested in this car because its just like the one I used to have, but I just have one concern. Considering it’s basically a new car with 800 miles, I’m wondering why the dash cluster looks like that. That isn’t a 2001 camaro ss dash cluster. It looks like its from a trans am. Did you change it for some reason?
That same member would share the picture here of a Camaro cluster, without the raised separations around the gauges. The members then debate why it might have the incorrect cluster, with SpamFritter offering the most logical explanation.
Again, that doesn’t make sense. It’s more likely a factory mistake as the two cars were built in the same place and used all the same sources for parts. Factory mistakes do happen. I’ve seen trucks shipped with the wrong grills, wrong emblems and even options that weren’t ordered. It’s far more likely than someone replacing a perfectly good instrument cluster with another one on a car with less than 1,000 miles on it.
