All 87 Camaro LT owners - History / Restoration - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

87CamLT · 03-05-2004, 10:08 AM

Anyone who owns an LT Camaro. I am creating a registry and web site for LT's. Please send me an E-mail with your cars vin, state, city, and country you live in and your first name, last name optional. I don't need any personal info. This is a good way to keep track of what is left of the LT. Any body who is intrested e-mail me at Whiz_15@lycos.com

RicksRedNomad · 03-06-2004, 07:06 AM

Thank's for your interest on this subject, I will be picking up my 87 LT Vert in about a hour now. E-Mail has been sent with the info u requested, have u decided if u are going to do a site with pic's or just a registry with name's & car info? a lot of free site's are out there for pic hosting? If you need any assistance with your project please feel free to call on me.

Thanks and have a Great Day, I know i will!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have taken the liberty of "stickying" this post. It needs to stay at the top!

This raises a thought. I should do the same for my 1987 Z28 convertible registry which I've maintained since 1996....

cdartz · 03-06-2004, 08:29 PM

I'll have to think about whether or not I want my info posted for everyone to see on the net. At the least I'll provide my first name and some pictures. Let me think about it.

Here are some pictures.

Night shot with IROC rims

Old pic after an accident when it still had a V6

After body and paint work and the LB9 swap, with Berlinetta/LT rims on.

cdartz that's a nice looking car you have, I hope that mine come's out as nice. My big problem right now is deciding if i want to restore to stock condition or use the wrecked Iroc that i have and make mine a clone, maybe i should do a poll and ask for some suggestions????????????/opinion's???????

Here are some link's for 87 Lt'S, I think one is of your car cdartz.

This is my 87 Camaro LT Convertible............................

Guys,

A registry is not posted on the internet for all to see. It is kept by one person and the personal information contained within is only released in its entirety to other members. This information would include names, addresses, contact info, etc.

General information about the cars themselves can be released to the public. This information would include exterior color, interior color, drivetrain, etc.

Willie

Willie · 03-08-2004, 06:54 AM

A sidenote on the LT convertible pictured above. Because the VIN sixth digit is a "2", it cannot be construed as a genuine factory convertible. The fact that ASC performed the conversion is irrelevant. Although its value would be higher than a hardtop of equal condition/options, it would not be as high as a VIN sixth digit "3" car. BTW, all "3" convertibles in 1987 received the "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" map pocket.

87CamLT · 03-08-2004, 08:55 AM

Vin's will not be posted. Please send pics of cars. Site is coming together in my spare time. Should have something up soon. Any info or intresting things about the LT should also be posted or e-mailed to me, or both.

****UPDATE*****

Spent several hr's searching history of convertibles and found the thread where this was explained, It might be good to post this thread as a link for anyone new so they can know what is meant by the statement. I found it to very very useful information!!!

Willie if you read this can you tell me if my vert would be included in the count of SC coupes for the year since it is not a vin # 3 car?

Just trying to get a better understanding of where the vert's that were made like mine fall in place at as far as count goes?

there is a thread probably in the archives by now it was in the history and restoration board called "question for wille about 87 convertibles, in the thread wille explained everything you could possably want to know about the 87 convertibles with the lt package, some of the options included with the car was a power drivers seat ,power mirriors, factory driving lights,and alot more, i have my rpo sheet, i just have not had the time to research it much.mine also has the 20th anniversary commerative edition map pocket. good luck on finding the information you are looking for,

RicksRedNomad · 03-10-2004, 10:07 PM

87 convertible · 03-11-2004, 03:52 PM

Ricks red Nomad, here is the thread i was talking about,it also has alot of useful information on the 87 http://thirdgen.org/techbb2/showthre...hreadid=190051

RicksRedNomad · 03-23-2004, 08:36 AM

I found out from Willie that my vert is just the sport coupe and not a LT, Just wanted to make you aware not to include my car in your data. Sorry for the mix up !!!

87CamLT · 04-15-2004, 08:30 AM

Just wanted everyone to know i am still working on this. Progress will speed up more toward the summer. If anyone has anything they want to contribute please e-mail me or reply.

DoBeR · 05-14-2004, 08:49 PM

Theres an 87 Camaro LT for sale here for $1200 canadian. I dont know if its a real LT or not but with so few of them around it cant hurt to look into it if you want something rare.

PM me if your interested, its about an hour or two away from Toronto.

87LS · 08-26-2004, 11:05 AM

Are these cars worth more or something.
I have one, I don't let everyone know, but if there is a designated spot for them I will tell you.
I will load up picks soon, so you can see.

cdartz · 09-02-2004, 08:07 PM

No I wouldn't say they are worth anymore than anything else per say. They just make for a good conversation piece since it was a one year model in the thirdgen years.

mv8720th · 09-28-2004, 01:11 AM

hey im new guy here i have a 87 convertible 20th aniv s.c. base camaro its in shop getting all new paint after rear end hit this month. whats this about only 3 cars left i thinks its 87 convertible car seen the vin only difference is the check digit mines a 9 and prod number mine is 145668 is this one of the 3 or a number 4. just wondering abut it had it 2years been working and keep finding more stuff on it. anyway any info cool

mw66nova · 11-21-2004, 11:45 PM

my name is matt and i have an 87 lt, i will have to get you the vin and other info later, i live in GA though. here is a pic.

mw66nova · 11-21-2004, 11:51 PM

what makes these cars so special/different? i just thought it was a base model camaro. i have the 85mph speedo and big fuel guage with no tach. and i also have the carmine red interior. should i not take the stock cluster out and change the interior color to gray? better tell me before i start putting the new stuff in the car.

ThirdGenFire · 02-23-2005, 05:34 PM

What exactly does LT mean anyway? Sorry dumb question but I really don't know. Thanks in advance.

86 sports coupe · 02-28-2005, 12:00 AM

Luxury Touring I beleive. Soft suspension. Its just like a berlinetta
but without the star wars dash. Even the opitional aluminum wheels are like the berlinetta exept there silver.

87 convertible · 02-28-2005, 03:47 PM

i believe it's more than suspension, my lt came with factory driving lights, a 6 way power drivers seat, power mirrors on both doors, cruise control, tilt steering, ect, basicly all the bells and whistles, and the wheels were just like the berlinetta, as they were gold in color.

cdartz · 03-07-2005, 08:41 PM

This will help end some of the confusion as to what exactly the LT was. Attached is the 1987 option sheet. Sorry about the poor resolution.

98_LS1 · 05-11-2005, 09:08 AM

I'm from Knoxville, TN and have owned the car since it was new in 87.
