The fourth generation of the Chevy Camaro was the last generation one to ride on the venerable GM F-Body platform, as the fifth-generation was based on the GM Zeta platform. As such, fourth-gen units are considered by some enthusiasts as the last of the original Camaro models. Today, you now have the opportunity to purchase the very last fourth-generation Camaro ever built, as this 2002 unit is currently listed for sale at a dealership in Illinois.
There are actually quite a few notable distinctions regarding this 2002 Chevy Camaro. In fact, this unit is equipped as a high-performance Z28, which was intended as more of a handling package. Moreover, this Camaro actually only features 27 original miles on the odometer, making it a time machine back to the early 2000s.
Finished in the Bright Rally Red paint color and equipped with T-Tops, this Camaro certainly boasts a classic look. Rollers include the optional bright chrome 16-inch wheels, which are wrapped in the original factory wheels. The underbody is clean as can be, while the rear differential cover features a special message that was written by the production team when the Camaro was originally auctioned off to charity. The car was previously sold on Bring a Trailer in 2019.
Under the hood lies the iconic 5.7L V8 LS1 gasoline engine, which was rated at 310 horsepower and 340 pound-feet of torque when new. The GM four-speed automatic transmission transmits the output to the rear wheels.
An interesting piece of history that might be worth noting is that the factory where this Camaro was produced, the GM Sainte-Thérèse Assembly in Canada, was demolished and replaced by a shopping mall and a condominium complex after production of the fourth-gen F-Body ceded. As such, that makes this 2002 Camaro Z28 the final vehicle ever built at this assembly plant on August 27th, 2002.
So, what do you think? Is this Camaro a worthy investment? Let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Finally A Nice Car Here Can Comment… It Is What Keeps Me Alive Still At GMA… Those Rare Nice Cars Of Far Past
The $30k it sold for in 2019 sort of makes sense.
But $66k now? Nah.
Time to take that car to the streets and see what it can do in a Camaro version of Smokey and the Bandit. Of course you’ll have to install a CB radio.
Oh hell NO…
This period of Camaro design was a GM recipe for (yawn) disaster.
It’s like the brother in the family no one talks about.
So glad GM changed directions.
They weren’t the best of the Camaro lineage and at that price it will probably sit a while longer. Nice time capsule though…
The 4th generation of the Camaro was far the best design after the excellent 2nd generation Camaro. GM may not have had the sales failures it experienced with the 5th generation if it took the 4th generation to the next level.
I own both a 2nd and 4th generation Camaro, would not trade them for the 5th or 6th generations. There is just so much you can do with them.
My thoughts.
The 5th gen was far far from a “sales failure”.
I’ve had Gen 1, 2, 4 and 5. Still have my Gen 1 69. Out of all of them here’s my ranking Gen 1, 2, 5 then 4. When the Gen 4 first came out I was like this is nice, test drove one then ordered one. However, I much prefer the Gen 5 over the Gen 4. The retro look to Gen 1 and the performance of the Gen 5, the Gen 4 couldn’t compare. I recently traded my Gen 5 for a C8 Vette, but wish I had the space to keep it as I really loved that car.
LIKE MIKE LINDELL SAID, FASTEST CAR IN THE WORLD RIGHT NEXT TO HIS 2005 BUICK LESABRE
Fond memories of this series. Had a 2000 Z28 and one of the last, if not the last, 2002 Pontiac Firehawks modified by SLP of Toms River, NJ, on the east coast. These later Camaros and Firebirds (WS6 Trans Ams/Firehawks) are something very special.
Somethings are better left untouched!
anyone that thinks gen 4 f body is a slouch is mistaken. 98 up ls1 smokin hot
