Owning One

Why collectors want it

LT1 and especially the LS1 (from 1998) made these genuinely fast; SS and Z28 are rising modern-classic muscle, and the '02 35th Anniversary SS closed the classic F-body era.

Which one to look for

Z28 (LT1/LS1), SS (SLP-built), 30th Anniversary ('97), 35th Anniversary ('02), rare 1LE.

What owning one is like

Opti-Spark distributor failures (LT1), T-top/hatch leaks, cheap interior, rear-end wear when drag-abused.
