2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible – Rare Color – Only 9K Miles – 6-Speed Manual!

2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible – 9K Miles – 6-Speed – Sunset Orange Metallic

There are fourth-generation Camaros, and then there are examples like this.

This 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible shows just 9,382 miles and combines three things that make an already desirable final-year F-body considerably more interesting: Sunset Orange Metallic paint, a 6-speed manual transmission, and the SS package.

And the production numbers are what really set this one apart.

Sunset Orange Metallic, paint code 71U, was one of the least common colors offered on the Camaro for 2002. Published production figures indicate that just 41 Camaro SS Convertibles were produced in Sunset Orange Metallic with the 6-speed manual transmission. That makes this a genuinely scarce configuration from the final year of fourth-generation Camaro production.

Under the hood sits GM’s legendary 5.7-liter LS1 V8, sending power to the rear wheels through the 6-speed manual gearbox. The SS package took an already potent Z28 and turned it into the top performance Camaro of its era, and more than two decades later, the LS1/6-speed combination remains one of the biggest reasons these cars have developed such a strong following.

The Sunset Orange Metallic exterior is paired beautifully with a black power convertible top and black leather interior. With the top down, the bright metallic orange paint and aggressive SS bodywork give this car a presence that very few early-2000s cars can match.

Inside, the car retains the unmistakable late fourth-gen Camaro cockpit with black leather seating, power driver’s seat, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and locks, keyless entry, factory audio, and the wonderfully simple driver-focused layout these cars were known for.

Most importantly, the odometer shows only 9,382 miles.

According to the selling dealer, this Camaro has had just two owners and carries a clean Carfax, adding another layer of appeal to an already unusual example.

The 2002 model year represented the end of an era. Camaro production would cease after 2002 and wouldn’t return until the fifth generation years later. Because of that, low-mileage final-year SS cars have increasingly become collector pieces — especially examples equipped with three pedals.

Finding a 2002 Camaro SS Convertible is one thing.

Finding one with fewer than 10,000 miles is another.

Finding one with fewer than 10,000 miles, a 6-speed manual and Sunset Orange Metallic paint — a combination reportedly produced only 41 times — is something entirely different.
