I bought this car back in April with the intention of building it into a sunny day cruiser/autocross toy. However, due to some financial complications, my plans have changed a bit and I've decided to consolidate into one car, so I'm selling this rare unmolested example of a 4th generation SS. I purchased it from it's original owner in Portland, OR (yes, same owner for 13 years) who babied it - Always garaged, never driven in inclement weather, and no engine modifications or racing.

The only "mods" he did to the car prior to me purchasing it was a Hotchkis front tower brace, SLP lid, an upgraded C6 Z06 clutch (~10k miles old) and a set of 3.73:1 rear end gears (around the same age). Since purchasing it, I've added a B&M short shifter, a brand new set of BMR springs, Bilstein SLP shocks, and an UMI Panhard bar. The 275/40R17 Toyo Proxes 4 tires on the car are at about 95% (were brand new when I bought it), and they're wrapped around OE 10-spoke 35th anniversary SS wheels (not replicas). As can be seen in the pictures, it also has a black rear fascia to replicate the look of the Berger SS, but I also have the factory red part, which is flawless and will come with the sale of the car. Last of all, it has the rare single exhaust which was offered as an option from the factory.

So, to summarize the details listed above:
-72k Orignal Miles (no engine mods)
-New C6Z clutch (~10k miles - I've been changing the clutch fluid with Prestone DOT 4 every 300-500 miles)
-3.73:1 gears (~10k miles)
-Hotchkis Strut Tower Brace
-SLP Lid
-B&M Short Shifter
-BMR Springs (1.25" drop - less than 1k miles)
-Bilstein SLP Shocks F&R (less than 1k miles)
-UMI Panhard bar (adjustable - less than 1k miles)
-Toyo Proxes 4 275/40R17 @ 95%
-10-spoke SS wheels

Overall vehicle condition is a 9-9.5 out of 10, especially for it's age. The exterior is probably a 9 as there are a few little rock chips in the hood, and a few very small paint flaws elsewhere, but no dents, door dings or big scratches. The interior is closer to a 9.5 out of 10. No tearing or severe wearing on any of the seats (all seats look practically new aside from the driver seat, which you can tell has been sat in), the carpet has no stains, and all power options work great. It has a factory tape deck with a 12-disc changer in the trunk (which is tempermental) and the bose system sounds outstanding - No blown speakers.

So, if you're looking for a 4th Gen SS that is still in outstanding shape and hasn't been beaten, you've found it. It's not an easy one to come by!

Still in my garage

 

Awesome car, Danny! My '98SS has 24,000 original miles and after ordering it brand new in March of 1998 I couldn't be happier. My car also came with the single 3" cannon exhaust outlet. It's nice to see '98's in great condition still out there that have been taken care of...

 

Only 24,000 miles? Wow, that's a keeper!

Appreciate the kind words

 

FYI, this was not an option, this was ths standard/base system for all Camaro SSs for 1998. Optional exhaust would have been SLP dual/dual.

It's cool to see a '98 with the factory catback though. Most people cut those off right away. Nice to see a survivor!

 

Ah, I was unaware of this - Thanks for clarifying.

 

Very good looking car. Good luck with the sale.

 

perfect canidate for a sts turbo kit. one reason i never considered them was the single exhaust ya know. being this has one already there,and it holds some integrity with it there...would be perfect. 3k dollars and install. 400 plus to the wheels. and unbolt it quik to go back to stock

 

 

Have a potential local buyer but no cash in hand, so it's still available for now!

 

Local buyer flaked... She's gotta go guys! Make a reasonable offer!

 

I appreciate you sharing your opinion. However, for future purposes, it would be preferable if things of this nature were sent to me over PM.

In any case, there's something to be said for an LS1 SS that hasn't been extensively modded and/or raced - They're very hard to come by anymore. Your former car is a perfect example of what I mean. It sounds like it was very nice, but it had numerous modifications. Now, there's nothing "wrong" with that, per se, but some people would rather have a car that's just been driven and garaged, not part swapped to go faster. I'm a great example of this type of buyer - I'd rather buy a vehicle that hasn't been messed with, then modify it myself so I know exactly what was done and how it was done.

That being said, based on the market (ie: comparable LS1 SS Camaros currently for sale) my price is pretty much right on the money. If you don't find it to your liking, you're free to go buy another one that you personally feel is priced more accurately. However, my car is worth more the $8,500 so, no, I'm not interested in your offer.

Cheers,

Danny G.

most dont consider brakes,and exhaust systems a molested type modification.makes me feel like a robbed myself at 10k . i thought 10k was a solid move in 2010.seeing the market for autos was ****. seems like people are askin more now than ever. when it should be quite opposite. i guess its cause we all think moneys the answer.
