1996 Chevrolet Camaro

1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 â?" LT1 V8, T-Top, 54,301 Miles Why This Car Is Special The fourth-generation Camaro had a rough start when it launched for the 1993 model year, but by the mid-1990s Chevrolet had sorted out most of the early issues and the Z28 had become a genuine performance bargain. The 1996 model year is particularly notable for one specific reason: it was the final year of the LT1 engine in the Camaro before General Motors replaced it with the all-new LS1 for 1997. That makes 1996 the last of a specific engine lineage â?" a small-block derived from Corvette development, with reverse-flow cooling and an opti-spark distributor, that powered everything from the Caprice police cruiser to the C4 Corvette. For Camaro collectors, a clean, low-mileage 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 occupies a specific spot in that history.
