Finally got B4C

Finally found and purchased a 1992 B4C 5.7Liter, I know they made 500 or so of these, does anyone have the exact number built in 1992. Thanks

Hello and welcome to the B4C ranks HawaiiB4C, nice to see another B4C guy join the site. Just wondering how many miles are on the car. B4C's rule the ultimate factory F-body sleeper, (well no I was wrong TTA's, ZL1, etc.) but still a nice factory sleeper.

Later, Garrett

I cannot remenber, were these cars available to the general public when they were new. I do not remember seeing any of these in the showroom when I bought my 92 Z28 brand new. If I did I would of bought one instead of my Z28.

No not available to the public, Law Enforcement only. However there was a dealer somewhere that fell through the cracks and sold like 10 to the general public, same place that was selling 1LE's to the public prior (lots of them, Ohio I think??).

Car: too many ...
Enjoy the car man! If you'd like the info on the HPD officer that used to own it (maybe to keep track of the cars hitory or something) shoot me a PM.

Thats right folks, we saved the B4C. No chopping, no hacking, its safe. Alot of people got pissed when they found out I was going to go mod crazy on a B4C, you can rest easy now. It is now in the hands of someone who will appreciate it as a collectors item and keep it stock (well for the most part hehe). I continue my search for a hardtop with no rust (hopefully a 5spd 5.0TPI) that will serve for project EVO II.

Just curious, but please post your vin or email it to me. A buddy and I are working on a spreadsheet to locate each of the 1992 B4C's. We probably have over 250 vins so far. All help greatly appreciated. Also do you know how many B4C's were on the island. Also I have a 1991 B4C for sale now too.
