Camaro Dash Emblems (differences by year)

In my ever growing quest to know as much about thirdgens as possible, I am turning to dash emblems(kinda weird I know)

What emblem came in what car?

I am mainly concentrating on Z28s and Irocs, but all information would be great.

I know 1990 had Iroc Z28 in yellow
91-92 had Z28 in yellow

My main confusion is the 85-89 Irocs. Some said Z28/Iroc Z or Z28/tuned port injection Iroc/Z28, Z28/5.0 HO, etc

Just want to know what got what!

thanks

Chris

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

If you had an IROC-Z, regardless of engine, it said IROC-Z under the Z28 logo.

If you had a TPI car and it was NOT an IROC-Z, then it said Tuned Port Injection.

If you had a 5.0 HO and it was not an IROC-Z, then you got the 5.0 HO emblem.

Crossfire cars had Crossfire emblems.

90-92 cars had yellow emblems.

There may be more that I missed tho...

Very detailed Scott. Thank you.

So, a RS only had a RS dash plaque one year(I do have one of those!)

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

Beautiful collection. Do you have any spares or duplicates you'd sale?

I did notice a black Camaro emblem in there that Scott never mentioned. Where is it from?

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

When I mentioned silver CAMARO, I was referring to the font. I forgot that there were two different backing plates

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

The plain CAMARO emblems are totally different, not just in color. The black emblem has recessed letters; the letters on silver one are raised. The silver also has a red/while/blue insignia on it. I want to say 82-84 had the black, 85+ had the silver, but I'm not really sure when the cutoff was. My '87 SC had the silver.

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

I have seen the Blue Z28 w/IROC below it. But I have no proof. FWIW, it was on a blue IROC Z...and I don't remember the year

It's a custom job. I have the silver CAMARO emblem above on my car, painted red. Another custom job. There is a purple Z28 emblem, but that is another can of worms. Some say it exists, some say it's faded red.

Re: Dash emblems (differences by year)

The purple is faded red. End of story!

From what I can tell, the 1987 - 1991 cars used the emblem with the tri color bars. The 1982-1986 cars used the black background with just the CAMARO font.

And since the ZF isn't a factory emblem, I didn't document what years it was used.

YAH!

I agree as I was unable to find what I was looking for by searching, so I made the thread.

Re: Camaro Dash Emblems (differences by year)

Between the updated dashes (90-92) and pre-facelift (at least 85-89), do the emblems interchange? i.e., 90-92 dash into pre-90 car, using a pre-90 emblem?

Re: Camaro Dash Emblems (differences by year)

I would like to add that 82-83 Berlinetta's had a gold "berlinetta" emblem
and 84-86 had "camaro" recessed into the dash.

They pop up on eBay all the time. I don't see any out there at the moment. Generally sell for $50-$100 depending on condition, and whether or not the prongs are still on the back.
