3rd Coast Motors is a boutique Classic and Used Car Dealer that was founded in Norton Shores, Michigan in 2023 with three guiding principles - Quality, Value and No Hassles. We continually monitor market conditions to keep our pricing* in the "Fair/Good Deal" categories on web sites like CarFax , Cars.com and others. We can arrange shipping anywhere in the US.

**An important note on Pricing. Many dealers charge additional "Dealer and/or Document" fees that can be anywhere from $300 to $1,500! We have no hidden, surprise, add on fees! What you pay is the advertised price plus sales tax (and shipping if necessary). When comparing our price to the price for similar vehicles at another dealer make sure that the other dealer is quoting you the "out the door" price.

According to the SLP Registry, this 1997 Camaro SS was manufactured on 04/16/1997.

It was registered by its first owner on 05/15/1997 in Charlotte, North Carolina. You will notice on the CarFax Report that there was a minor accident reported in 2001. The damage was, according to the CarFax Report, to the passenger door. We can find no evidence whatsoever of either that damage or the subsequent repair.

The second owner registered it in Fort Meyers, Florida in October 2005 with 53,473 miles.

The third owner registered it in Schaumburg, Illinois in October 2006 with 57,179 miles. This is where the history gets interesting. This owner proceeded to destroy the clutch and park the car in his garage after only driving it for about 1,000 miles. He then got divorced and the car sat in his ex-wife's garage for the next eight years.

The fourth owner noticed it in the garage and made an offer to purchase it. He registered it in Schaumburg, Illinois in June 2014 with 58,195 miles. Over the next ten years, the fourth owner added only 8,000 miles.

The fourth owner had the following repairs/maintenance completed during the ten years that he owned it:

- The Clutch and Pressure Plate were replaced (06/14, 58.083 miles)
- Radiator, Water Pump, Serpentine Belt, Spark Plugs (07/17, 63,022 miles)
- Tires replaced (08/17, 63,157 miles)

3rd Coast Motors purchased the Camaro from the fourth owner in June 2024 with only 66,000 miles and drove it from Illinois back to Norton Shores, Michigan. It now has approximately 66,700 miles.

The following work was completed in preparation for sale:

- The passenger side rear quarter panel was refinished (there were a lot of door dings from sitting in the ex-wife's garage for
eight years!)
- The Lower Front Bumper was repainted
- The driver's side seat side rear bolster was replaced.
- The Convertible Top rear "Curtain". Was re-glued
- Replaced the Air Conditional Compressor and recharged the Freon
- Replaced the Thermostat
- Replaced the Coolant Level Sensor
- Repaired the Squeaky Fan Belt
- Oil & Filter Change

This 1997 Camaro SS Convertible is in exceptional original condition. The exterior, interior, mechanical condition, and wheels and tires are all in like new condition.

- The Camaro runs perfectly. I have driven it about 600 miles (with the top down!) and I can attest to the fact that there are no known Mechanical issues. - The Exterior is in like new condition. There are no nicks or scratches whatsoever. - The Convertible top is in excellent condition - The interior shows no wear - The wheels look brand new. There is not a mark on them. - The tires have almost no wear. Included with the Vehicle - Two keys, One Key Fob, Original Plastic Tonneau Cover, Original Tonneau Cover Storage Bag, the original Owner's Manuals, Maintenance Records from the fourth owner and 3rd Coast Motors, a copy of the original Window Sticker and a copy of the CarFax Report.
