wonder if this thread is still active, bought a 91 z28 so i thought last saturday but i looked @ the rpo codes and it shows b4c so im hoping is a b4c camaro rs it is a 350 auto black vin #1g1fp2385ml181080 car needs some minor work, but if its a b4c its more then worth it, but i also have an 88 iroc originally a 305 auto so now im thinking which would be a best choice to keep

BLACK92B4C

If the RP code is B4C then it should be legit. I have not heard of a Z28 B4C though, maybe some one slapped the stickers on it? Maybe post your RPO codes or decode them and see what you've got. If it is a B4C car it is rare and worth keeping. Even if it is a Z28 I'd take the L98 TPI car over a 305.

yeah car did turn out to be a B4c rs, figured that out a few days after my post, its nice currently in the shop getting soem exhaust done, but it does need soem work as it has a bit of rust, plus my iroc is not a 305 anymore its a 350HSR with a 350 tranny and 373 gearing. no slouch by any means, and with all the work, time and money i've spent on it its sad to see it go. plus i love that my iroc is unique, where as the b4c i would have to keep stock to keeps its value and frankly stock isnt my thing, i like chopping and rebuilding

BLACK92B4C

Sounds good, you could always flip the B4C on E-Bay. Des not seem to be a HUGE demand for these cars, but some folks like them. Is yours 1LE too? Mine does not have the 1LE on it.

Here's a 1992 5.7 B4C on Ebay, buy it now of $12,500, and it needs paint! I doubt it'll hit that...

A friend just told me there is a clean 1989 Turbo GTA pace car in town for like $8k

BLACK92B4C

That's a good deal for a TTA car...

I just picked up the 1992 1le/B4C from Crazy Hawaiian, he listed it on page 3. It is a power seat/power window, 5.7/A4car, black with grey interior. He gave it to me for a great deal with a lot of extra parts. Could not say no. It is a former HPD marked fleet car, he bought it from the auction in 2005. The body is faded, but in much better shape than my 1991. It also still has the locking gun cover in the rear.

very true.....it would help if the vin code for the police model were posted up on this thread...it would help someone ID it.....some owners are too young to know the difference

p.haze92

You can not ID a B4C by VIN number alone unless you call a GM dealer and have them run the spid codes for you. Its on the RPO code sheet. Otherwise, if you have a RS with rear discs like someone else mentioned, then you might have something especially if there is a TPI under the hood.

Is this thread still collecting VIN's? I have four 92 B4C numbers if you still want them....

p.haze92

Always taking vins. We just need to make sure these posts stay on track with 1991 and 1992 B4C's. No Firebirds, later B4C's or what ever.

GM92B4C

I didn't know McDorman's had a show in September. I have the little sister red B4C of yours sold at McDormans, 305 five speed. Finally got around to changing the intake manifold gasket set. I forgot how much I loved driving the car. Still have only 25,100 miles on it. Only B4C owners know the smile you get when you drive one. Are you back in Ohio now or still in Delaware?

DirkBG

I'm in Delaware, Ohio. McDorman's has his Corvette show every year, and he also adds a Chevrolet show and cruise. He's got a nice personal collection that he opens up. It's in those buildings in the back of the lot.

Man, what's up with those intake manifold gaskets? Sounds like it should have been a factory recall given how often I've heard them fail.

Is yours red too? I met the guy with the black 305 5-speed.

New to me! Cool vid, but FAR from a stock motor!

So any opinion on the D27 locking rear cover? My 1991 did not have it, the 1992 does. How many people see these in their cars? I figure it has to be rare.

alek72us

I don't think its that rare, i have a buddy that has an 86 and a buddy that has a 84 and they both have the locking rear cover.

DirkBG

My '92 does not have it. It wasn't a cop car originally, though.

I am the 2nd owner of a '91 ex- Nevada Highway Patrol B4C since '94. It has a 5.0 instead of the 5.7 and only has 120k miles. A few years ago I tried to rebuild the 5-speed and screwed it up somehow, so I took it in to get the tranny rebuilt. Through the years I've had to replace the injectors, put in a 2nd stage Clutch, new alternator, rebuilt the engine, replaced the chip and cpu.

Back in '90 I read an article in the Rocky Mountain News that these B4Cs could do 130 in the 1/4 mile and 0-60 in less than 5 sec. Has anyone confirmed this @ the track? As owners we know ho awesome the power is in these cars and how we can beat almost any car off the line.

I am keeping my car for another 13 years or so then sell it for $50K. Does this sound right? By then it should be a collectors car and hopefully pay for my son's college tuition.

I ran my car dead stock in fair weather (70 degrees) and it went 13.92 @98mph with 94k on it....

Astrocraps

Back when I first started driving my '91, I could spin tires 1st 2nd into 3rd gear w/partial throttle on the street and get into the 90s in the 1/4 mile. Again, this is only partial throttle. I can do 0-60 in less than 5 sec easy. Nowadays, been having injector probs and possible chip probs. Very hard to troubleshoot w/o paying the shop $100 or more for engine diagnosis. I also replaced muffler and catylatic converters a few years ago.

Rumblin70SS

Why would you go with only partial throttle down the drag strip? While my B4C certainly didn't fly, I thought it was pretty quick in the 1/4 for being dead stock in only fair weather.

I had an 88 IROC-Z that was stock years ago and would only go low 14s in good weather.....it had less miles though, like around 40,000.

The main difference between the two cars is the Z had 2.77's and the B4C had 3.23's.....they were both 5.7 cars too.

Our 10 second truck goes almost 130 in the 1/4, which is slightly slow for the ET because its a truck.

DirkBG

My '92 B4C was/is totally stock. I ran 14.70s around 93mph when it was a couple years old. The same day, another guy who had a black 305/5 speed B4C was running 14.50s. He told me he ran at the track occasionally and had K&N air filters. I don't know if he made any other mods, but probably nothing significant. That was the first and last time I raced it.

The Decmber 1991 Car Craft Magazine had an article called "Cop Cars From Hell", and it was a lengthy article on the Caprice 9C1 and the Camaro B4C. The performance tests on the 245 hp auto version in the article was 0-30 2.3s, 0-40 3.4s, 0-50 4.7s, 0-60 6.3s, 0-70 8.3s, 0-80 10.9s, 0-90 14.0s, Standing 1/4 mi. 14.87 @ 93.45 mph. Lateral G was 0.88 on a 200' skidpad. It has a 3.23 axle ratio, same as mine. So, I'm happy I actually beat the time of the professional magazine editors. Maybe mine was faster because it was broken in. I think it had about 15,000 miles on it when I ran it. There's really no reason it would be faster than a similarly optioned '92 Z-28. It's the same drivetrain.

Astrocraps

"Why would you go with only partial throttle down the drag strip?Why would you go with only partial throttle down the drag strip?"

I was driving in town on Las Vegas Blvd south of the strip when there was little development there and hardly any police. The street I live on intersects Las Vegas blvd. So when I turned onto LV Blvd, I'd stop then give partial throtle letting go of the clutch and I was in 3rd gear in a few secs. I didn't want to give full throttle because I was on a street, NOT a drag strip and It was fun w/o WOT anyway. I must have a special B4C because this baby is way faster than what the articles say and other owners say. I had to put a 50lb bag of sand under the rear hatch because I was embarrassed of spinning tires egg shelling in traffic. Ive been through a couple clutches already, so I now hae a 2nd stage clutch.

B4Ctom1

So let me get this straight. You are quantifying that your "special" B4C is "way faster than what the articles say" because of "how it felt" that it "spins tires" easy and because you "been through a couple clutches already" ?

Astrocraps

To answer your question, no. If you start with when I first posted, you can see what kind of performance I get outa my '91 B4C and the performance is much better than what others are posting about their car's performance. When I get to the track and have my car timed i will post the results, but that won't be until March or so.

Here is a PDF version someone else made.

CSP B4C

From my research, the Colorado State Patrol B4Cs were 5.7L autos. Mine served in Greeley, CO. I've talked with a retired trooper as well as the guys that work in the shop in Denver that were around back then. Utah used the 305 5-spd cars. I have a black push button under the headlight switch which activated the shotgun lock. The CSP used twin spotlights and Utah used only the single one on the driver's side. There are several other tidbits, but since yours isn't a 5.7L, I don't think it was with the CSP. Maybe somewhere else in Colorado or Utah.

gen 1

That was a great description of my car, It was a coloardo car as well

CSP B4C

gen 1, have you done any restoration work or are you keeping yours a civilian? I have most of the equipment ready to re-install in my car for shows. I just need the correct lightbar and magnetic markings.

gen 1

My car still has the spot lights and roll bar, I'm in the middle of freshing mine up also, I would like to show it, i will be using red and blues lights also, but mine will be mounted on the inside of the car.. 2 in the rear window and one on the dash. and my antinnas will be magnetic, sorry my spelling sucks

CSP B4C

Mine has the 4-pt roll cage, twin spotlights and shotgun release. The previous owner added nitrous, which I removed. That left two switches on the side of the center console which I am utilizing for the recently added wig-wags on the headlights and to power up the passenger side spotlight. Not original, but I don't have everything hooked up yet for the light controller. I do have the Unitrol for the lightbar which goes on the left side of the console, next to your right knee; I have the MPH K55 radar unit with mount; I recently installed a Motorola Maratrac radio converted to Ham radio and got my Technician's license to make that legal. That is permanently mounted with an NMO antenna on the roof in the original location. I have a secondary antenna mount just in front of the lip on the hatch which got me to thinking. I got out my Betty Bearcat book from the early 90's to see what frequency Greeley PD used back then. That tells me what antenna to use back there.

I was told the shotgun rack was mounted behind the seat. That explains the holes in the passenger floorboard on the driver side. Problem is that it was a custom mount. I have a muzzle down mount that I may try to convert.

The holes in the headliner near the rearview mirror are for a hatsaver. I have one of those to install.

I mounted the remote head for the Maratrac where I wanted it, using holes underneath the center A/C vents. The holes on the right side of the console guided me for mounting the speaker and mic clip.

I'm still searching for photos of the interiors of these Camaros in service...or any Caprice or Diplomat from the early 90's to show me proper equipment placement. The one thing I'm missing is the halogen Streamlight rechargeable flashlight and a VASCAR Plus unit. Some cars even had Sony camcorders mounted to the windshield next to the radar.

I took a trip/vacation in October 2007 and paid a visit to Troop 3A in Greeley, the Colorado State Patrol Academy in Golden and HQ to find the last Camaro in service with the Alive at 25 program.

This part has been the most enjoyable experience with my Camaro. If I could just get the darn thing to run right, I'd like to be able to put another 200k miles on it...and give it a paint job.

I ran the camaro at the Baytown track last Friday. She ran a 13.6 at 99.5 mph with a 1.98 60 ft. I weight in at 3405 lb. with no driver...I was on street tires and had about a quarter tank of 87 octane, I thought this was not to bad,the only mods are k&n and 1 crank pully..I have sence add umi subframe's and a wonder bar..those 2 things help alot with the ride and handling of the car, I also add Bilistines all around and new 1le sway bar bushings along with UMI front lower control arms. I still have that shot gun button on mine, and Thanks i always wondered what those holes were for in the center of the headliner..I have a little over 108,000 on mine.

CSP B4C

212,xxx on mine. But the previous owner added 3.73 gears and never corrected the speedo, so my mileage is off. I swapped back to 3.23 gears.

Wonder bar, stock replacement shocks, struts, rear coils, end links, sway bar bushings, rear bump stops, Earl's braided brake lines in the front and about every sensor replaced as well as a complete tune up. No cats when I bought the car with 181,xxx miles and she wouldn't pass inspection. Had to install Magnaflow universal cats and a stock muffler. Flowmaster was too loud.

Lemme see if I can PM you.

Yea it's a lot of work and money bring these car back from the dead/or like new any ways

Thanks, but since this is a B4C thread, I was asking how many of the B4C cars had it, not 1984's.
