New guy from Chicago - '97 SS *Pics* Hey guys,
Ive been surfing this site along with CamaroZ28,MFBA,LS1,ex. for the past couple of years. I have found this site to be VERY informational. Everyone on here seems to be very helpful to one another. A long time ago I purchased a '94 Camaro back on my 18th b-day and I owned that for about 6 yrs. I have been looking for a "pristine/low mileage/stock" 96-97 SS for about 2 yrs. I absolutely love the look of LT1 SS's. I finally found one back in Nov. '06 in Columbus, OH. It was about a 14 hour, one day trip from Chicago and back, but it was well worth it. Below is a little info. on the car...
1997
Camaro SS #2296
Purchased mileage - 19,131 miles
Current mileage - 19,760ish miles
Color - Red (Side mirrors & Top - Black)
GM Opt. - All power opt.,Leather,12-disk CD,T-Top’s
SLP Opt. - Performance Exhaust,Torsen,Bilstein,Floor mats,Car cover
Inside/Outside condition - Honestly, it looks brand new!
I am the 3rd owner of this car. The first two owners took exceptional care of this SS. I have the window sticker and SLP sticker(laminated),all SLP stickers on both inside doors,both key fobs,exc. Anyway, thats a little background on my new car. I figured since I have another camaro now, I should join this site. Looking forward to having many of my questions answered
Also, I have pics. of the SS, but I cant figure out how to post the darn things. As soon as I figure it out, I'll get some up.
Chris
*Sweet... I got the pics. to work. Thanks for the help*

Welcome, from one low mileage showcar owner to another! 
That SS is beautiful!
Hope to see it at some local shows.
Do you have a webpage for the car? Or any more pics? I'd love to check it out further.

Thanks for the comments. I only have a few pics of the car. The weather here has been crapy for the past couple of months. I live in the western suburbs.... Downers Grove to be exact.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback Yes, I am going to leave it stock. I want it to be faster, and I also want to add the black “camaro” inserts on the back bumper. But, I figured since it is 100% stock right now and the mileage is low, I would just leave it alone.

I no longer have the '94 camaro, it was sold about 2 1/2 years ago. I added a few more pics as requested. I went out in the garage and snapped a couple of the interior and engine bay. I have yet to clean either one since I bought the car, but they were pretty clean when I bought it. I havnt figured out how to make these pics smaller, sorry.
