Yeah there weren't any Camaros made in California. Having the 3.8 liter is nice as opposed to the 3.4, but It doesn't make it worth much more. Sounds like a liar to me.

Although there were never any Camaros actually produced in California, he is correct in saying that 1/2 way though 1995 GM started producing special "California" cars. The Z28's came with the dual cat setup that was standard starting in 1996 and the 3.4L V6 was upgraded to the 3.8 for the base Camaro. 0.4% of all Camaros produced in 1995 had the 3.8, it was RPO code L36, totaling 4,787 built, all of which had an automatic transmission. So it does make it rare if it was infact origionally equipt with the 3.8.

The front end damage as well as the Florida seems suspicious, although all Camaros as well as Firebirds were produced in GM's Ste. Therese, Quebec plant since 1993, the plant was built in 1965 but was actually specially converted to produce the 4th gen Camaro in 1993.

It sounded fine until I read the CA built part and the Florida part, and it made me especially suspicious when I read the last part. You're gonna wanna stay away from that type of stuff.
