I have a 1983 cross fire injection z28 camaro. It has 51,000 original miles
on it. My interior is rare because I've only seen a small number of them. Its called Lear Siegler Camaro Conteur interior. The car has Power everything, cruise control and a tilt steering column. There is carpet all over the plastic inside. In the back hatch compartment there is a trunk lid that locks. I have had 2 other 3rd gen camaros and they were nothing like this car, this car has a lot of options.
So if you know any info on this car or how many camaros were made like this please let me know.

Thank you!
well I just got the car a few months ago and the car had been in a garage for over 20 years. Its never good for a car to just sit, so I had some things done and replaced so I don't really know yet. It did pretty good the first time I drove it home. I get it back this weekend from the shop and it will be at its best performance...
I have a 1990 Rs (305, T5) No special interior packages or anything. Btw, nice car! I think the seats are pretty ugly in a cool way haha.
hahah Thats the first thing I thought when I was looking at buying the car. I was like damn that is some ugly interior. haha but I never really seen that interior so I was thinking to my self looks rare so I bought the car... lol
You do have a nice car. Hopefully no one will convince you to convert it to another type of fuel injection or carb. I am sure your car will give you years of fun driving.

Thank you..
Don't worry about anyone convincing me to convert over, I'm all about stock. hahaha
no its not the original paint. it was wrecked and repaired before I bought it. Also what color is the hood supposed to be painted on the inside? it is a fiberglass hood that it primered now.
My hood has the insolation in it still so i really don't know what color it should be.
The paint on my car is original but It took a lot of work to turn it around.
The 1st picture is the car when I first got it, and the 2nd picture is what it looks like now.

I love before and after pics like that. In fact, I love doing what you did there. That is - bringing back a faded neglected car.

Hey I just bought a car with the same interior. I thought I was buying a 85, but when the guy gave me the title it was a 83. No problem. I can say my car is is nowhere near in that nice of shape. I have lots of body work to do. I cant wait, I have been lusting after another third gen since I sold my last 85 IROC.

Is it the same color interior?
If you really want to know if its a 83 or 85 all you have to do is look at the dash pad.
In 1983 the dash pad was a little skinnier than in 1985 and was squared off in the front. In 1985 the dash pad was thicker and was rounded off in the front.
The first picture is the 1985 dash pad and the second is the 1983 dash pad.
My 84 HO Z28 had this interior except that the door panels did not have the same treatment. Only the seats. Was that typical for 84? Sadly I ran that car into the ground by the mid 90's and it went to the crusher. One day I'll have another and treat it like I should have.

I have seen that on some interiors but most of the time if the seats were LS interior the door panels were the same as the seats. I'm not to sure if that was typical or not in 1984.

If those were extra center caps in the passenger seat, I'd be interested in any non faded ones with all the mounts and not cracked.
