1997 Chevrolet Camaro SS Z28 SLP 30th Anniversary

1997 Chevrolet Camaro Appearance pkg 30th Anniversary Description

1997 Chevrolet Camaro SS SLP 3oth Anniversary

Arctic White and Hugger Orange. Built to commemorate Camaro’s 30th birthday while harkening back to the marquees most famous paint scheme. The original owner thought so too, and walked into Classic Chevrolet here in Mentor, OH and ordered every option available. That means the SS package, ALL optional SLP equipment, including leather. In short, the works! This car has only been driven 4718 miles and is completely original.

Let’s start with both window stickers, one from Chevrolet and one from SLP, the SS package conversion company.

$25, 520 Camaro Z28 Convertible

$579 30th Anniversary appearance package

$499 Leather bucket seats

$315 AM/FM/CD player

$270 Power drive seat

$225 245/50/16 Z rated tires

$60 Body side moldings

$15 Rear floor mats

$525 later it arrived at SLP totaling $29, 235

SLP added their $3999 package, including the ram air hood, high flow air filter, specific rear spoiler, ZR-1 16x8” wheels, 245/50/ZR16 BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires, Quaker State synthetic oil, anniversary SS badge on the dash, 3D SS badges and two SS key fobs. Also ordered:

$349 30th Anniversary addendum package

$499 Performance exhaust

$999 Torsen torque sensing limited slip differential and aluminum rear cover

$349 Hurst shifter w/leather shift knob

$99 SS floor mats

$299 Oil cooler package

The only other option SLP added to the Camaro was a performance suspension, which wasn’t available on convertibles. The only option missing from Chevrolet is the engine block heater. I think I’m still safe calling this car fully loaded!

If you are in the market for a 30th Anniversary, they don’t get much rarer than this one. Only 136 six speed SS convertibles were built out of 251 total anniversary drop-tops. Nearly everyone opted for the exhaust system and the floor mats while the Hurst shifter and Torsen unit showed up on about half. A mere 16 convertibles came with the oil cooler package, and a total of nine people ordered the SLP car cover. Now, if all six people who ordered six speed drop-top anniversary package SS cars with the car cover AND everything else, it’s on of six. But we saved the best for last, because this is believed to be THE last SLP 30th Anniversary Convertible produced! Because of that, SLP used the 1998 exhaust and shifter. Let’s sum it up – this is THE rarest 30th Anniversary car ever produced.

As an anniversary model, this car’s desirable. As an SS/Z28 car, the desirability factor climbs higher. As one of one SLP car with a 6 speed, it’s of the park! Throw in the pristine, mint, 4718 original miles status and this is the one you’ve got to have for a significant Camaro collection, or to hang on to for future appreciation!
