2009 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS

This fabulous Camaro is currently located with the vendors in Cheshire. 

''This was a much anticipated purchase. Our father had this on order from before it's production, and made sure he owned the very first import of this specific model.

One of two Camaros kept by him, this one was favoured and proudly kept for best, under a blanket in the garage, only brought out weekly for a pleasure drive and a wax and polish, hence the very low mileage of 19,693.''

This Camaro SS very much seems to have been treasured by its single keeper. Supplied by famous American and exotic dealer Bauer & Millett, Manchester (sadly closed since 2014) this SS returned to its supplying dealer three times for servicing, with post-2014 care passing to David Madders, Cheshire for another five. For those who aren’t counting, that’s eight stamped services (with invoices to prove it) for a car that’s not even covered 20k miles. 

This Camaro SS can either self-shift through its six speeds or, if you fancy that bit more engagement, you can pull on the paddles behind the wheel. Either way, this thing can get to 60mph in just over five seconds. It’s wheel is on the left-hand side, of course, but for a muscle car it’s surprisingly frugal, with cylinder shut down technology that can kill up to four of its eight pots when you’re cruising the ‘highway’.

With such tiny mileage and coming from an owner who clearly doted upon it, it’s perhaps not overly surprising to discover that this Camaro still presents very well. There’s barely an imperfection on the outside worth mentioning – though we’d remove those aftermarket stick-on V8/GM badges, front rear and side, if it were ours. 

The Camaro’s huge rims look to be in generally excellent order, aside from a few light kerb contacts on the nearside front. These do appear mild and easily rectified with a refurb of that single wheel. While on the subject of the wheels, each are shod in pricey Pirelli P-zeros, which were only put on in 2022. 

Considering the colours that this Camaro came in, Silver certainly looks subtle by comparison. Paint appears to be excellent throughout with panels and gaps ostensibly as good as Chevrolet intended. Glass and trim also look excellent, though a nagging MoT advisory has listed an obscured off-side repeater since 2019. We’re not sure what that’s about, but it clearly passes MoTs, whatever the issue. 

Huge CHEVROLET script greets you on the kick plates as you swing open this muscle car’s long doors and stoop to settle into its Ebony Leather seats. Those more observant among you will have clocked the Boston Acoustics badges on the door speakers – think America’s version of Bose. 

The retro theme continues in the cabin with lots of callbacks to the classic Camaro but integrated with modern technology, so it all avoids feeling too kitsch. For example, those gauges at the base of the centre console look sublime. 

The stitched leather steering wheel seems barely used and the all the carpets and trim look ship shape. There’s a wire going to the armrest, which we assume is for a phone charger or stereo hookup, but couldn’t confirm. There’s a massive boot with cargo net and under the excellent carpet in there is a tyre inflator and build sticker. Everything on the inside of this Chevrolet feels just as cared for as its exterior. 

The history doesn’t show any trips to a specialist to replace any broken components, hardly a surprise considering the miles. The enviable servicing regime – effectively annual to 2019 (car’s covered just over 1000 miles since – has clearly kept things in check. In fact, the only replacement part shown via the invoices, was a new battery in January of this year. We suspect that means it’s been stored in recent years.  

The engine bay has the usual modern car plastic trim obscuring most of the view of the innards. At least Chevrolet knew to design the top covers to still look like a V8. Despite our lack of view, a perusal of the current MoT shows a minor oil leak advisory. Clips and clamps appear near new, as do all other components within view. 

Underneath, the exhaust shows some corrosion from age, but nothing that looks to be causing a hole where it shouldn’t be. Generally, everything we could see underneath looked very clean and tidy. Seeing the stickers still visible on the rear subframe and roll bar reinforces how few miles and what careful use this Camaro must have seen. The vendor describes the car as “in pristine condition” and, although that’s overused, it doesn’t appear to be too far off in this instance. 

For a relatively recent machine there’s certain no lack of history to accompany this Camaro. There are both the quick reference and full owners’ manuals, the V5C shows one keeper and that aforementioned bill for a new Varta battery (£250) is dated January 2024. Annual stamps – apart from one missing in 2017 – in the service history is backed up by invoices for the work from the relevant garages. It’s about as complete as you could hope for. 

This Camaro comes with two keys and its latest MoT runs to November with advisories for ‘thin’ front brake pads and that small oil leak. The file also shows the original bill of sale from Bauer Millett in 2009 for a substantial £38,500 and a stack of old MoT certificates. 

For those that love their blissful simplicity, the 2010 Camaro has the nostalgia, looks and power to appeal, but being relatively modern, it has a little bit more grey matter.  

This has all the useful safety technology of a modern car (stability and traction control), plus useful economy touches, like those occasionally napping cylinders. This is one muscle car you really can live with regularly. 

Considering this car’s seemingly excellent care to date, low mileage and first-rate service history, we can imagine it’ll burbling along our highways for several decades to come. 

We are happy to offer this car for auction with an estimate in the range of £16,000 - £20,000.
