Default 30th anniversary camaros.

Did a stop on a guy the other day in a pewter camaro, I was asking him about the car, he claimed it had the lt4 conversion stock. I checked under the hood and it clearly had the gray lt1 intake, not the lt4 red. Not to mention i dont think they made any 30th anniversary in pewter, i thought they had stripes and stuff, am i wrong?

Oh and before anyone asks, yeah he got a ticket, it was a 52 hoover crip. My partner cited him for loud music.

Yeah there were only 100 '97 SS's with the LT4, and all but one of them was white with orange stripes. The other one was orange with white stripes, done just for SLP.

Somebody probably told that guy a lie when he bought it and he never did his homework to verify.

I have a 1997 Camaro Z28 30th anv. But mine is black with gray leather with 30th anv. enbroidered in the back seat(middle) and in the head rest's of the seats. So I guess they are not all white with orange racing stripes.

I don't think the 30th came with center mount exhaust, has to be white with orange stripes, White ZR1 Rims, LT4 intake is red, plus I don't think pewter was a color option for an LT1 (not sure on this one)

Pewter? never was a color for LT1s, musta been painted, why any one would paint a car pewter seems kinda weird.

That guy is full of it. I know that some of the 97s came with th 30th anniversary logo embroidered in the seats although they were not the "Anniversary Edition" cars like mine. I think they were just on there just to mark the anniversary. Just like the 2002 model camaros. Not sure if all have it but my friends ride has the 35th anniversary emblem on the dash and its just a black z28. Yeah it mush have been repainted, i know of some silver cars but not pewter.
