AutoHunter Spotlight: 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Currently listed for sale on AutoHunter is this 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS. It was built in the final year of production for the 4th-generation Camaro and marked the 35th anniversary of the model. For many people, this generation is a favorite among newer Camaros, with strong performance and great looks. This one is powered by a factory LS1 5.7-liter V-8 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Bright Rally Red over a Neutral leather interior, this 60,133-mile pony car comes the selling dealer with a clean AutoCheck report and a clear title.

The exterior is in great shape, with the Bright Rally Red paint shining nicely and only a few stone chips. The quality of the exterior trim also looks fine, as do the T-tops and correct 17-inch cast-aluminum SS wheels, which are clad with 275/40 Kumho Ecsta radial tires.

The cockpit looks almost as good as new, with the factory Neutral leather upholstery showing no cracks or tears. This Camaro SS is nicely equipped with six-way power-adjustable drivers seat, cruise control, air condioning, power windows, power locks, adjustable steering column, and factory Monsoon 500-watt sound system.

Under the hood is the Corvette-derived Chevrolet LS1 5.7L V-8 engine that is backed by a four-speed automatic transmission. Output is 325 horsepower and 340 ft-lb of torque, assisted by the forced air-induction system included with the SS package. What this means for performance is a 5.2-second 0-60 and a quarter-mile ET of 13.5 seconds, making it one of the quickest Camaros out of the showroom. Everything under the hood looks to be in excellent condition and reasonably clean.

The underside is more of the same, with pristine floors, suspension that looks clean and tidy, and no evidence of leaks from the engine or gearbox. The seller notes that it is equipped with a Torsen limited-slip differential, performance suspension, and a SLP cat-back dual exhaust system.

I remember how sad enthusiasts were in 2002 when Chevrolet announced the end of the Camaro, which gave sales a nice bump before the F-body was discontinued. The final 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS was a little bit faster than the Ford Mustang Cobra from the same period, too — speaking of faster, if you are interested in our AutoHunter Spotlight, you better act fast and bid now because on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (PDT) it just may end up belonging to someone else.
