Sunset Orange Thunder: A Time-Capsule 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible
For sale is an investment-grade 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible with only 9,382 original miles, a precise 6-speed manual transmission, and a glowing Sunset Orange Metallic (Paint Code 71U) exterior. Featuring an immaculate Ebony leather interior, this vehicle comes with a clean Carfax and AutoCheck report documenting just 2 owners from new.
The original Service Parts Identification (RPO) label is entirely intact on the door jamb and decodes to prove its undisputed pedigree. The critical WU8 code confirms this is an authentic factory SS Performance Package vehicle, complete with the LS1 5.7-Liter V8 powerplant.
The RPO Build Sheet Decoded

192 / 19I: Ebony Leather Interior / Interior Trim Components
MN6: Borg-Warner T56 6-Speed Manual Transmission
LS1: 5.7L Gen III V8 Engine (Factory Rated at 325hp+)
G80: Limited-Slip Positraction Differential
GU6: 3.42 Rear Axle Ratio (The optimal factory gear pairing for the 6-speed)
1FP67: F-Body Camaro Convertible Styling Class
FE4 / FE9: Special Ride & Handling Suspension System (Upgraded SS Sway bars and springs) / Federal Emissions
UA6 / UB3 / UK3: Anti-theft System / Gauges with Tachometer / Steering wheel audio controls
Performance, Handling & The Analog Experience
Drop the pristine black power convertible top, slide into the bolstered Ebony leather sport seats, and grip the leather-wrapped Hurst shifter. This is where the magic happens. Under the scooped hood sits the legendary LS1 aluminum block V8, pushing a highly conservative 325 horsepower directly to the rear wheels via a Torsen limited-slip differential.
Driving this 4th-Gen Camaro is an aggressively raw, analog experience that modern sports cars simply cannot replicate. The 6-speed manual transmission gives you absolute mechanical connection to the engine, allowing you to wind out the gears while the performance exhaust belts out a classic American symphony. Thanks to the FE4 heavy-duty suspension package, it sits lower, stays flatter through corners, and handles winding backroads with a razor-sharp confidence that defies its muscle car heritage.
Extensively Rare: By The Numbers
As 2002 marked the final production year of the legendary 4th-Generation F-Body platform, collectors have naturally gravitated toward late-run cars. Among those, Sunset Orange Metallic stands out as one of the single most desirable, lowest-production colors ever sprayed in the muscle car era.
Official factory build figures show exactly how elite and scarce this configuration is:
Out of 41,777 total Camaros built worldwide for 2002, only 1,875 left the factory wearing Sunset Orange Metallic paint (just 4.5% of total production).
Narrowing it down to the performance flagships, a mere 87 total Sunset Orange Metallic SS Convertibles were assembled.
Of those 87 cars, only 41 units were built with the coveted 6-speed manual transmission.
Finding a final-year 4th-gen with a 1-of-41 build pedigree is a true needle-in-a-haystack scenario.
Investment Quality & Showroom Condition
Most of these high-horsepower F-bodies were driven hard, modified heavily, and exposed to the elements. This particular example is an elite exception. With fewer than 10,000 miles clocked over more than two decades, the car presents in showroom-quality condition. The basecoat/clearcoat paint holds a deep, mirror-like factory reflection, the interior leather smells like new with zero heavy bolster wear, and the engine bay remains a time-capsule of pristine factory decals, hoses, and clamps.
Backed by pristine history reports and boasting a rock-solid, highly documented two-owner past, this is more than just a summer cruiser—it is an appreciating, investment-grade piece of American automotive history ready for a top-tier collection.
