The fourth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car that was produced by American automobile manufacturer General Motors for the 1993 through 2002 model years. It was introduced on an updated F-body platform but retained the same characteristic since the first-generation's introduction back in 1967: two doors, coupe or convertible body styles, rear-wheel drive, and a choice of 6-cylinder and V8 engines. The Camaro was revised in 1998 with both exterior and engine changes. General Motors discontinued production of the fourth generation of the Camaro due to slow sales, a deteriorated sports coupé market, and plant overcapacity.
In 2002, General Motors and Chevrolet decided to mark the 35th anniversary of the iconic Camaro with a special edition model based on the Chevrolet Camaro SS.
The final fourth-generation Camaro was built on 27 August 2002 after which the Boisbriand plant, located in the province of Quebec just outside of Montreal then closed down. Total production for 2002 was 42,098 units.
GM's Performance Division unveiled a Z28 show vehicle at the 2002 Woodward Dream Cruise as a sendoff for the Camaro's 35-year heritage. It emulated the 1960s and 1970s Penske-Sunoco stock TransAm race team vehicles. The 35th Anniversary trim package was also available for the SS.
Appropriately dubbed the Camaro SS 35th Anniversary, the limited-run two-door was painted "Bright Red" and featured a model-specific hood scoop and unique grey exterior vinyl decals. The interior, meanwhile, featured two-tone black and gray leather upholstery with 35th Anniversary' logos embroidered on the seat headrests. These models also came with a special edition glovebox case that included inscribed tire pressure and tread depth gauges, a branded pen and Post-lt Note pad, a history booklet, and a polish cloth.
Both coupe and convertible versions of the Chevrolet Camaro 35th Anniversary were offered - but all were based on the V8-powered SS model. A total of 3,000 were constructed - about half coupes and half convertibles.
