Default 1998 Bright Green Metallic Z28

I got really lucky with finding this one to add to my collection...14k miles, auto, neutral tan leather interior, sport appearance package, t-tops, & third owner. All of my Camaros have relatively low mileage (65k on average with the lowest being 44k on my hardtop Hugger Orange SS) but now I finally have one of the ultra-low mileage f-bodys and it is pretty awesome! Here are a few quick pictures:

Thanks guys. King, believe it or not...$11,250. Too good to pass up! I'm going to leave this one bone stock like my 1999 Mystic Teal Metallic Z28 6-spd convertible. All of my other cars have at least exhaust and a few other bolt ons...so I want to leave these two completely untouched!

That's a fantastic find. Color combo is perfect, and is one I've been interested in myself for years. In my opinion this car is optioned perfectly, other than the sport appearance package (never been a fan of this), you really found something special. So few LS1 Z28s have been kept this nice, especially early ones in uncommon colors such as this.

I really love those old Goodyear GS-C tires; based on the mileage they may be assembly line original under RPO QLC which would also require the GU5 3.23 axle for an auto car. Mine was optioned with the same N98 chrome wheels but not the QLC tires.

Beautiful car, I'd be proud to have it in my collection as well.

Perfect idea!!!! I've always loved this color, BGC and HO.

RPM, just checked and the QLC RPO code is on the door sticker! I too, was never a huge fan of the sport appearance package but it started to grow on me when I picked up my V6 Bright Blue Metallic. I think mostly just due to diversity and something unique. I still prefer the cleaner look without as well . Doc, I'm waiting for dry weather and I'll get all of the cars out for a group photo!

Wow! Just wow! What's the story? How many camaros do you own? And according to your sig, they are all 98 and 99s. Why no 00-02? You may have covered all this already, but I didn't realize someone had a collection like this. Very cool

Many of the colors you see in his collection were only offered (at least with LS1s, as a couple were also '97 colors I believe) in '98 or '99 or both. I'm guessing he has a soft spot for these rare color cars. I'm still loving this latest BGM '98 - would love to have it myself!

Thanks for the compliments guys! Sike-o, my first car ever was a '98 Navy Blue Metallic Z28 and I've been hooked ever since! I sold it after college when I went active duty and knew I'd get another one relatively fast. I found the '98 NBM SS and the current collection started! I just love these cars, especially the rare colors. I eventually want to get a Sunset Orange Metallic SS but I'm content for a little while! I don't know if these cars will ever have anywhere close to the following the old school Camaros do but I'm betting they'll be pretty popular in a few decades once guys like me start buying them later in life. I have a lot of friends who sold their cars like I did but never repurchased. I think the demand will continue to increase and I want to have original, low-mileage/owner cars that have been taken care of. I just love these cars and that's about it. Not looking to turn a profit on them later in life but just didn't want to have to search for years and/or pay a fortune to get the rare ones later!

RPM, here are a few pictures I took the other day comparing the Bright Green Metallic to the Mystic Teal Metallic. I always wanted to see the difference before I owned them both. Hopefully this helps a few fellow board members! For what it is worth...the Mystic needs to be washed so the dust may play into it a little bit.

That's just ******* amazing!!! Thank you for your service btw

I sold mine back in 12 after owning it for 7 years and was lucky enough to purchase it back. For 4 years I would look at a picture of mine and kick myself for selling it. I love your collection!! Any chance I could trade my wife for the Bright Blue Metallic? Lol jk BTW who do you use for image hosting?

I like both colors for sure, but the BGM has always been my favorite of the two. I've wanted a BGM car myself since the early '00s when I first saw one, but the right one has just never come along. Very rare to see any of them period.

Just an FYI, you can host images through LS1Tech now that Photobucket is a bust. Just click on the "insert image" link in quick or advanced reply and you'll have the option to upload from your computer or post something that's already in your album.

Hey Anthony, not a chance brotha! But keep up the search and it'll pay off. I head hunted my Bright Blue Z28 on these forums back in 2016 and when the seller was ready to sell, he hit me up. Dreams do come true, just stay persistent and constantly scan all of the auto websites/craisglists/forums. There was a Bright Green Metallic Z28 for sale a few months ago that had an aftermarket SS hood and spoiler. It might still be available. Also saw a B4C Bright Green Metallic Camaro for sale about a year or 2 ago. That too, might still be around. I don't have any links saved though. Good luck man! I'll keep my eyes peeled for ya!
