You are bidding on a great condition, reasonably reserved priced 1999 Camaro SS.  This car has never been smoked in and has one original owner (me).  The car has always only had synthetic fluids (engine/oil/rear).  I paid to have the car undergo the GM A4 127pt used car inspection which just confirmed the impressive quality of the vehicle and addressed any issue that the fine tooth dealer comb surfaced.  Below I will try to best describe the vehicle, but I am certain that whoever wins the car will not be disappointed


The vehicle itself is in great condition with low miles for its age, mostly attributed to the fact that most people in their right minds don't drive a rear wheel sports car in Colorado especially with (2) car seats :)  

Exterior

The Colorado sun is brutal on the clear coats so I had the car professionally painted about 5 years ago and the hood is starting to show some spotting again and the passenger mirror is peeling (see pics).  There is a small chip near the middle, bottom part of the windshield.  I had not even noticed it until the a dealership pointed it out during the inspection.  There are small door dings compliments of undersized parking spots with over sized vehicles, the window tent is original and it is discolored and scratched in some places.  The car is rust free, I am not sure how much rust really occurs with cars anymore, but I see others mention the status of rust so I will as well just for the records.  Other than this the car has never been in an accident, never keyed, or made to look like a failed art project. 

Interior
The interior is in great shape with no rips, burn marks or duct tape....only minor wear and tear (see pictures)  The car was just professional detailed inside and out and everything inside including the engine looks fantastic.  The AC blows nice and cold and all parts that are suppose to work do except for the following items:  The cd player motor died many years ago (known problem with these stereo models), but it does have the Monsoon radio that works fine so has never been an issue for me.  The window tint is original and has some scrapes and discoloration.  There are some scratches on the plastic in the truck area from luggage scrapes and such.  The small door on the console spring has sprung, so it doesn't stay shut.  The window motors are starting to get intermittently slower so this may be something to keep an eye on.  These are minor issue I know but really that is the kind of "major" problems with the car.

Recent maintenance:
Alignment (drives nice and straight with the steering wheel nice and straight (offset steering wheels drive me crazy)
All fluids have been flushed brake/power steering/cooling
Replaced Radiator hoses/Power Steering lines with new Coolant level sensor (GM dealership inspection recommendations)
Replaced rear pinion seal/ shifter tower seal and transmission output seal (GM dealership inspection recommendations)
Windshield wiper started to get slow so had control board replaced as car will probably head to an area that gets more rain than Colorado and don't want someone getting an unsafe surprise
Brand new Eagle F1 Asymmetric All-Season tires with included transferable Discount Tire lifetime road hazard certificates
Water pump is about 3 yrs old


Overall

Other than a short throw shifter and a K&N air filter, the car is completely stock and while I probably had my share of fun in it over the years being this was my daily driver and it was never abused.  It is my belief that a younger driver will be the person who becomes the next owner of this vehicle.  I have gone to great lengths to ensure the next owner is getting a great running, well maintained, non money pit type used sports car that they can hopefully purchase and drive for many many years just like I did with very little "enjoy life" money going out the door in repairs.  This is the first vehicle I ever purchased and listing it comes with mixed emotions, but I know that it just isn't feasible to hold on until my kids grow up, or try to get around Colorado winters with them in the car while I know someone out there is in a better situation and is ready to start a new chapter with this rascal ;)

Thanks for taking time to view the listing and best wishes no matter what your decision is,
John

******Update 1)********
First off I would like to thank everyone on the overwhelming response so far an wanted to share some additional information from the questions I have received.
1st) Many people are asking about the vehicle being driven in the snow and status of rust.  While I am no photographer, I have added some addition pictures of the underside of the car..  Over the life of the car it has probably found itself in the snow 30-40 times in a get home from work and it is starting to snow type of deal.  The car has never had snow tires or anything like that to "encourage" trying to go out in it so the contact with a true snow on the ground, de-icing situation was minimal. In addition unless you are on a major highway, the Denver area trucks put down sand instead of salt or de-icer so it had more contact with sand than anything.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.
