1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The '96 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 represented the fourth-generation platform's mid-cycle refinement, carrying forward its 1993-introduced architecture with meaningful mechanical updates. Its most significant change was the adoption of the LT1 5.7-liter small-block V8, carried over from the Corvette lineage, producing 285 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This engine used a reverse-flow cooling system, in which the cylinder heads received coolant before the block, allowing higher compression ratios (10.4:1) while curbing detonation.

Power reached the rear wheels through either a Borg-Warner T56 six-speed manual transmission or a 4L60E four-speed automatic as on this Z28, both feeding a live rear axle suspended by a torque-arm and coil-spring geometry—effective for straight-line traction and cost control.

Structurally, the Z28 used a unibody with a front subframe, and its exterior featured composite fiberglass and reinforced-plastic body panels over a steel structure, reducing weight and corrosion susceptibility. Braking came via four-wheel discs with ABS as standard equipment.

Overall, the '96 Z28 balanced affordable performance with pushrod V8 simplicity, achieving 0-60 mph in roughly 5.5 seconds.

First registered in Indiana, this red-over-gray Z28 features removable T-tops, cloth upholstery, and a stock Delco audio system.

This 1996 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Coupe is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a CARFAX Vehicle History Report and a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name. Please note that the title is in transit.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.  

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
