- An almost unused 1993 Camaro Z28 with only 89 miles is currently listed for $25,000.
- This Chevy coupe previously sold for $13,500 in 2020 and $16,000 back in 2018.
- GM’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 engine produced 275 hp in 1993 and uses a four-speed automatic.
Chevy built over 39,000 of its third-generation ‘catfish’ Camaros for the 1993 model year, so they’re not exactly hard to come by. But a ’93 Z28 with less than 100 miles (161 km) on the odometer is incredibly rare – possibly one of a kind – and this is your chance to take it home. Again.
The black Z28 seen here is for sale at Ray Skillman Classic Cars in Greenwood, IN, for $25,000, which seems like a great deal when you consider someone paid $170,000 for a 130-mile (209 km) Honda S2000 CR last month. Sure, the CR was limited to 699 units, so it’s more collectible, but that’s a big price disparity.

Because this Camaro stands out by virtue of its low mileage, enthusiasts have been quick to spot that it’s been for sale a couple of times in recent years, and the last time it changed hands it was crazy-cheap.
In 2020 it was listed on the Bring-a-Trailer auction site with 43 miles (69 km) and sold for just $13,500. Even a new Mitsubishi Mirage cost $15k in 2020. Before that, in 2018, it was auctioned by RM Sotheby’s and sold for $16,000 when the odometer displayed 29 miles (47 km).
Ray Skillman’s current ad is short on detail but the old Bring-a-Trailer listing explains that it was originally delivered to Dobler Chevrolet in Hempstead, NY, and came with a factory Delco-Bose stereo system and the Z28 Preferred Equipment Group #2, which included air conditioning, cruise control, a remote hatch release, power features, and leather for the steering wheel rim and shifter.
GM’s 5.7-liter LT1 motor was a performance hero in 1993, although the power figures are nothing a 2.0-liter hot hatch can’t beat today. The V8 put out 275 hp (279 PS) and 325 lb-ft (441 Nm) which the first owner elected to channel to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission rather than the available six-speed manual.
The stereo, Group #2 option pack, auto transmission, and other goodies including a performance rear axle ratio and six-way power driver’s seat pushed the price of the Z28 from $16,779 to $21,075.
As you’d expect given the mileage, the interior looks perfect, and so is most of the underside. But the propshaft and rear axle have surface corrosion that the next owner might want to remedy at the expense of some originality.
What would you pay for this classic Z28 and what would you do with it?
