Cool LS1TECH Hugger Orange SS

EDIT Feb 26: Car is SOLD to Trey in LaPorte for $17K

Thanks for the comments everyone, appreciate it. I'm going to miss that car.

----------------------------------

I'm considering the sale of my popular 1999 Hugger Orange Camaro SS. I'm thinking about picking up another project to play with, probably a convertible.

https://ls1tech.com/99Camaro/images/DSC00486.jpg

The Details:

1 of 375 hugger orange SS Camaros built. I have all documentation and the original window sticker. I also have the SLP window sticker.
SLP/SS factory options: SS car cover, key fobs, dash plaque, floor mats, Bilstein performance suspension, traction control, Hurst shifter.
47,800 miles on the car
Engine is 100% unmolested internally, valvecovers have never been off. No "free mods" have been done to the engine. Intake never removed.
The only performance mods on the car are ceramic coated Hooker headers and offroad Y-pipe, and an airbox lid. Nothing else.
6-speed manual works excellent.
Brand new RAM VDS clutch with billet flywheel. Good for up to 700 hp.
SLP center-mount exhaust system was added, SLP dual-dual catback.
Export tail lights (rare)
custom painted black ZL-1 stripe, under clearcoat.
custom painted SLP SS grille.
custom painted "retro" tail panel in gloss black to match stripe.
custom painted door mirrors (originally black)
nose of car was repainted to cover rock chips. Perfect color match.
leather interior and carpet are in perfect condition. No signs of wear or any scuffs. Non-smoker.
car has weld-in BMR subframe connectors.
Hotchkis lowering springs (1.5" drop, with factory ride)
Stock Bilstein shocks and suspension are untouched otherwise.
18" custom black powdercoated Torque-Thrust wheels front and rear.
285 front and 295 rear Yokohama tires with ~85% tread remaining.
iRotors drilled/slotted disk brakes
custom painted Corvette front and rear brake calipers
fresh window tint.
new window motors on both doors.
new battery.

I've taken the car to the track once, and I went 12.84 @ 104 mph when it was bone stock, on stock tires. No times with the headers or lid. Its always been a strong runner for a stock vehicle.

You probably won't find a cleaner or more detailed Hugger Orange SS that could be used as a daily-driver. This one is a real head-turner, and has won a few local shows in Houston. Appearance-wise, its 100% complete.

I'm looking for $17,000 OBO. I'm sure the right buyer is out there, this car has quite a fan club.

Tony

You haven't priced hugger SS's lately. This isn't just a regular 99

I've got over $20K total invested in this car, its had quite a bit of custom work. It would probably be the perfect f-body if it had a 427ci under the hood.

...but I have other projects taking priority
