Minneapolis Street Sighting: Chevy Camaro Z-28
Usually when one hears the three words "third gen Camaro", images of mullets, chewing tobacco, and trailer parks are brought to mind. So are images of primered, American Racing-wheeled monstrosities reeking of cigarette smoke and loud metal playing from the stock cassette player.
Not surprisingly, since the early third gen cars are have reached the quarter century mark, more and more clean versions are popping up. Unfortunately in my area, 90% of the well-kept versions are later-model IROC-Zs, so spotting this uber-clean Z-28 was a hell of a find. The stock paint is still there, and it's still glossy. Better yet, all the trim and decals are still present, and neither has worn down by much, either. The wheels, too, were in amazing shape, showing absolutely no curb rash, brake dust, or any other detracting blemishes.
The stock red interior with Camaro lettering stitched on the seats looked showroom fresh, too. The steering wheel, dashboard, and all interior trim was in mint shape, too! I couldn't believe it! I honestly don't think I've seen a cleaner third gen, even at a car show. This was ridiculous! I applaud the guy for keeping it stock for so long. Here's hoping he doesn't butcher it-- I mean, modify it.
