This is my '97 30th Anniversary Camaro SS LT-4 #100 (...along with my Phase II and Phase III GMMG PE's.). Yep, this is the last one made in '97! It is the last Camaro, the last SS, the last Anniversary, and the last LT-4! It has 157 actual miles on it and I drive it up the street and back just to circulate the fluids. Now this is one you keep for the personal museum! This Camaro will stay in my collection. Personally, I would drive the one that your Dad has, but still take care of it.

It's great to see people talking about the '97 SSLT4 cars. I have car #54 and have owned it since '98. I'm the second owner and it has 620 miles. I've only put 100 miles on it since I bought it, but I can say that they were put on the car very fast! Maybe someday these things will command big money, but if they don't, the few miles I do put on it will be fun.

RareSS, Super-SWEET collection there (pun intended). Since I've been a WS6 guy all these years, I never really noticed the difference in the rear spoilers between your '97 and '02s until I saw your pics. When did that change occur? Was that something "special" for the 35ths? Or did the spoilers change on all SSs sometime earlier?

LT1 SS spoiler vs LS1 SS spoiler. LS1 version got the two pillars and LED lights.

Thanks. I never really noticed this difference (the two pillars) even after parking behind a co-worker's '01 SS 'vert all these years. Then again, I don't see too many LT1 SSs on the road these days either.

Yeah. If it's over 100K, might as well keep driving it. No difference between 100K and 200K I always hear.

Berger was never responsible for the LT-4 conversions, they were all done by SLP.

Restored cars are often worth as much as or more than unrestored ones. That car isn't *that* rare, largely in part of the LS1 coming out and making the LT1 cars seem pretty slow and undesirable

I'd swap an LSX under the hood and pimp it

Yep, I remember an all original 69 Z that was on Barret Jackson that had some issues and miles, it went for like 50k or something. The restored ones were going for like 80k......

With that kind of mines drive it on nice days.

A buddies wife has a 94 B4C original owner with 8k original miles, he knows it may be worth something just because of the miles and it gets driven every now and then, even has a built up 83Z with 20k miles and drives it from time to time.

Rare SS. SICK cars, glad to hear the LT4 is at least taken up and down the street
