1995 Chevrolet Camaro

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The fourth-generation Z28 launched in 1993, its edgy, aerodynamic new body wearing a swept-back windshield and an integrated rear spoiler. Aluminum 16” wheels were matched with performance tires and a sport suspension, which resulted in high-speed stability and an impressive .90g around corners. And ABS-equipped four-wheel disc brakes yanked the 3,500-pound Z28 down from speed.

Those powerful brakes were necessary: the Z28 was endowed with the Corvette’s 5.7L LT1 V8, which sent 275 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque rearward through a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. Z28’s performance numbers were impressive: 60 mph in 5.5 seconds, the quarter mile in 14.2 at 100 mph. Top speed? Well, we’ll let Motor Trend describe it: “Only aerodynamic drag, not mechanical sympathy, kept the Z28 from bouncing off its rev limiter. At that point, the radar gun said 155 mph.”

And speaking of radar guns, Chevrolet also offered a Special Service Police Package (RPO B4C) for government agencies. These de-badged Z28 coupes were equipped with a hardtop roof, fluid coolers for engine oil, power steering, and automatic transmission (if equipped), and a higher-amperage alternator to operate the necessary lights, sirens, radar, radio, and electronics. Many B4Cs were used as State Patrol pursuit vehicles — and judging from that 155-mph top speed, many a high-speed scofflaw ended up regretting their choices.

This example reportedly patrolled the Silver State as a Nevada Highway Patrol car, before being taken out of service to enjoy civilian life. The third owner reportedly refreshed this Camaro in 2012 with a repaint in the factory Medium Quasar Blue, and a rebuild of the LT1 V8 and six-speed manual transmission. And it still wears a full suite of law enforcement equipment, including a light bar with a light and siren control unit, a police radio and scanner, a CB radio, radar and radar detector systems, and a spike system.
