Rare Ultra Blue Metallic (I've only seen 2 in this color to date, Most are Red, Black or White)

I have a beautiful 1991 Ultra Blue Metallic Camaro Z28 1LE for sale. Camaro's 50th Anniversary is this year, and this car belongs to a elite collectable list of Camaro's made over that span. This is a special car for many reasons. Third generation Camaro prices are on the rise, and projected to continue that trend as finer examples with low miles are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This car began, and lives most of its life in Texas. Purchased new at Young Chevrolet of Dallas, TX, this car is 1 of 3 purchased by that dealership in 1991, and the sister car to the 1991 SCCA champion car driven by Lou Gigliotti. The dealership converted 2 of the 3 cars to race that year in the SCCA championship series. This car was the 3rd. They began the process of conversion,kept the car in their dealer inventory until 1992, and ended up selling the car on their lot to a lucky local civilian.

Today, with only 38,200 Miles, this Camaro has been lucky to be owned by car enthusiasts and collectors from day 1. The car has been stored in climate controlled storage when not being driven to local car shows and events, its entire life. There is absolutely no rust on this car anywhere. The car overall, is in pristine condition with only a few very minor blemishes. (Few minor stone chips, and some crazing of clear coat on rear bumper). It drives and shows like a new car. It still has the machined finish on the wheels! I have personally spoken or communicated with every previous owner except the original owner, but was able to obtain information from second owner on original owners experience as well to confirm info and stories. I am the 5th owner of the car. You must see this in person!

Though the dealership began the conversion process of turning this 1LE into a racing machine, however most of the parts replaced on the car over time have been kept and passed along to allow for original restoration if desired. (Not everything, but close). Parts that have been replaced or upgraded on the car include SLP 3" Stainless exhaust,Hurst short throw shifter, Fuel Injectors, Alternator under drive pulley, Hypertech chip in PCM, and a few others (Ball Joints, K+N Air filters). A box with most of these replaced parts comes with the car including air filters. Interior is MINT with the exception of a small minor wear patch on drivers side seat from seat belt rub. Some time in the 1990's, the drivers side fender may havebeen replaced with a new GM fender. Conversations with previous owners have uncovered this thought, however none of them confirmed under their ownership, so could be original, or may have been replaced by first owner. Either way, known to be an original GMfender with GM sticker on inside of fender, and fit and finish are perfect. All other body panels known to be 100% original. There is no accident history for this car on the Car fax, or any other source of information I have obtained. The dealership did cash in on theGM paint recall from the Van Nuys Plant during that time, (Water basedpaint known to delam and peel)and the car has been repainted. Work was performed at Young Chevrolet under their ownership before the car was sold.The Intent here is to be 100% Transparent with known history of car. Looking at it, you could never tell most of these things, and with the provenance of this car, (Young Chevrolet owned and Painted) doesn't detract anything from value. Could consider it ads to it?(Read on)

The car has an incredible amount of documentation that comes with it. Most passed along from the original owner, but I have also taken the time to add to this library by searching down previous owners, printing records from the internet, and collecting original GM documents and brochures from 1991 that give the new owner a complete package for reading, owning and displaying. The original build sheet, Bill of Lading from transpiration companies, as well as dealership checklist and copies of Invoice and window sticker are also included. Original manual and spare plastic door key with pouch are included.WI Title, and copies of MA and TX titles included.Pictures from previous owners, ads and internet forum discussions about this car will also be included.

The 1LE itself is a special car. Especially from the third generation where the "secret" ordering package was only first made available to the public to purchase in 1991. This car also has additional heritage, as it comes from the Young Chevrolet racing legacy, and was featured on page 118-119 in the book "Camaro" by Anthony Young. A signed autographed copy of that book comes with the documentation and car.

The car itself also has the most sought after RPO options of any 1LE, in that it is a bare bones Z28 car. No B4C package accompanying this car, as many 1LE's had during these years. Fog Light delete, A/C delete, AM/FM Radio, G92 performance axle, Dual piston 11.86" front disc brakes, Aluminum driveshaft, Aluminum lightweight unused spare, Baffled gas tank, cloth interior, No power options anywhere, rear defrost delete, etc. This is a true 1LE example, made to be a SCCA race car, and has some conversion started under Young Chevrolet.Here is some additional information and history on the 1LE:

If you’re a fan of the Camaro Z-28’s, then you probably know all about these cars.

Background: In the mid- to late-1980’s, the SCCA Showroom Stock racing class and the Canadian Players Challenge series was being dominated by the Ford Mustang GT’s. Following the axiom of “Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday”, Chevrolet decided in 1988 that it was time to wrestle the control of the SCCA Showroom Stock class and Players Challenge series away from Ford, and thus developed the Camaro Z-28 1LE. Initially, only racing teams or those individuals with a competition racing license could order a 1LE.

Ordering the RPO G80 Limited-slip rear axle & G92 performance axle with a Z-28 triggered the 1LE RPO. When G92 was ordered, it forced several other options including engine oil cooler, 4-wheel disc brakes, dual converter exhaust and P245/50ZR16 tires. A Camaro with G92 had to have either the 350ci (RPO B2L) engine with 4-speed automatic transmission, or the 305ci (RPO LB9) with 5-speed manual. These Camaro's also had 145 mph speedometers and 5500 rpm redline tachs. If RPO G92 was ordered with air conditioning, the cars were built as street vehicles. If air conditioning was not ordered, Chevrolet equipped the cars for the race series. This car was ordered without air conditioning and includes:

(G92 Ordered Without A/C):

· Aluminum driveshaft (JG1) (part # 10085375)

· G80 Differential with limited slip with 3.42 posi rear

· G92 Rear axle performance package

· Big front brakes adapted from the Corvette

· Larger (11.86 inch) front rotors (part # 18016035)

· Larger front spindles (part #'s 18016737 / 18016738)

· PBR front, dual-piston aluminum calipers (part #'s 10132827 / 10132828)

· Special swinging fuel pickup in gas tank and special 18 gallon baffled fuel tank for fuel pickup down to .5 gallon reserve to prevent fuel starvation in hard cornering

· A steeper 0.74:1 gear ratio fifth gear

· Stronger lower control arms (part # 10164151)

· Special gas-filled shocks (1990-1992 cars)

· Air conditioning delete (C41) (standard heater) (weight savings and better air flow to the radiator)

· Fog lamp delete (to open up the air intake located behind)

· T-Tops delete

· Power accessories delete

· Aluminum spare wheel with smaller spare tire (N64)

Please note: The Car Fax report shows an erroneous mileage of 63,000 miles on 3/10/1998 when the car was sold to the second owner. I have a copy of that title as well. This was quite obviously a clerical error as the car would have had to be driven 34,878 miles in less than 9 months. Additionally, whenthe 4th ownertitled the car in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts RMV was satisfied that the then current mileage of 37,987 miles was accurate and as such, recorded the mileage of the vehicle on the Massachusetts Title as shows 37,987 Actual Mileage. The current WI title (per WI DMV policy) now reports mileage as "Exempt" due to being over 10 years old. All of the provenance of the car clearly indicates the mileage on Odometer as correct and original miles. Between myself and previous owners, we can ensure any question or concern could be answered for this or any other questions you may have.

Don’t let this one get away because you likely won’t see another one with this provenance,in such good condition anytime soon!! Were seeing similar mileage Z28's going for more, and they aren't even the coveted 1LE. This car will only continue to grow in value.
