Where all B4Cs originally purchased by municipalities? I did a carfax on this prior to purchase and that didn't seem to come up.
My local dealer , Gates Chevyworld at one time towards the end of the 92 model year had 10-15 ( dont remember the exact amount ) B4C's in a variety if colors and options that were all sold to the public . all I really remember was 1 going to look almost everyday and drool on a 92 Black/black custom cloth 350 car , and 2 )the sales manager saying how he knew the chief of Police and " he owed me a favor" . Apparanty the South Bend Police put a order in for the cars and the order was cancelled after the cars were in route . Thats how I learned what a B4C even was , I didnt get at first why all these RS's had TPI engines and 1LE front brakes . Definately cool , to bad I was only 17 ....I woulda gave anything to have been able to buy a new one . There still is one of them that I know of in the area . I see the guy around from time to time . If I get a chance again I try to nab the vin# Its a 92 Polo green /black base seats , no options at all , 350 auto . The car last I saw only had 30,xxx miles .
I missed a chance to own a 92 that never belonged to a a municipality. For sale at Chesrown Chevrolet (now Elway chevrolet) in denver colorado with basically no miles.
Do we have to post the VIN? I picked up this 92 RS w/ B4C package at the local police auction a few months ago. It was the Honolulu Police Dept High Speed Pursuit Camaro #251. I'm gonna be sending it to a bodyshop to be repainted. They managed to mess up at least 1 small part of every panel on the car either in service, or removing the police decals and lights. It was pretty dirty on the inside, those dirty pigs!! hehe. Its a L98/Auto with 104K Miles.
I have the VIN, just dont feel too good about posting it publicly. Would it help your guys cause if I PM'd it to one of you? On another note, I used to own a different B4C about a year ago. It was also a 92 RS with the B4C package, black hardtop with L98/Auto and 92K miles when I had it. I bought it from a police officer, I think it was his personal car. I sold it to the user 'Benny' on these forums. I heard he sold it to someone else after he bought it from me. I saw it about 6 months later with mismatched wheels and a huge smash in the drivers side door (but I knew it was the same car because of the custom '92 B4C' plates). What a shame ...
Because this is the Internet and you never know what can happen. To me the VIN of the car is like your personal SSN. Would you post your SSN on the Internet? Anyone with the intention of doing something shady could do a search for 1G1* and get a list of VIN's and do who knows what with them. Sorry, but I'd prefer not to post it. But like I said, no problem PM'ing it to someone. I want to help you guys track down all the B4C's but I dont want to post my VIN publicly on the Internet. Tell me who to PM it to ...
Just as an update to all with Texas 1992 B4C's. Texas bought 155 5spd cars in 1992. Still need to break down how many in each interior color. Keep the info coming and sorry if I seem to be distant but I'm not and I am terribly busy at work.

Crazy Hawaiian, pm me with it or email it to me at adtke1@cox.net. Trust my brother, nothing can be done with your vin. People can walk up to your car at any time and write your vin down, but what can they do with it. Nothing except maybe call GM and see what options it came with or give it to the Police to see if it is stolen.
By the way, nice buy. Do they have anymore of them with the PD in HI? Curious to how many they purchased of course. I know they had more than one. Someone else on this board had/has one but cant remember if it was a marked unit.
B4CTom, thanks for all of your help too. Much appreciated. I will still try to edit 1st post and put cars with names and locations.
Funny thing as a side note, I run almost every vin I find(except the ones you fellows post here because I know that they are currently owned) through carfax and I found 1 that was exported to Australia. So there is at least one B4C Down Under.

91 RS B4C Fake?, Its not a fake. You have a true 350 L98 car with RS Badge's and i doubt someone would covert a Z to an Rs. So good purchase there. Which sheriff used it?
I just thought I should mention since they were the rarest of the B4C cars.
Edit: after looking through my "one of a kind in public hands" 1992 Special Sevice Package Camaro order booklet I was noticing that although it lists a 3.1 V6 with 15" wheels in the preferred equipment group (FCAB), that under the actual B4C option it lists the two V8 options only.
ok how can i tell a b4c car.... supose im going to by a camaro v6 or v8 how can i tell if the car is a hidden gem where will it indicate that it is a b4c car???
And what did the v6 b4c cars have in them? anyway?
the easiest and most reliable way to tell if you have a B4C is to get the VIN and call up the Chevy dealership and ask them to look up the options on the VIN and check to see if was optioned as a B4C, the most reliable proof is there
and while your at it check for all the other options too
thats what i did to make sure the B4C I bought was real and not just BS
Thats the whole idea of us tracking all of the vins. We will be able to know things like that. But as of right now, I know of 2 1992 B4C's that have factory leather.
I know where there are 3 B4Cs all owned by the same person. One was used as a patrol car the other two were civilian. Ill try to get you all 3 VINs as soon as I can. On a sad note one of them was destroyed in a 100+mph accident and is FAR beyond repair. Ill try to get pics of all 3 of them also. Im pretty sure they are all 92s but Im not positive. One is purple(it runs 14.3@96mph), one is red(it runs 14.1@97mph) and the other totaled one is burgandy. All of them are 350/auto cars and the red one actually came with a factory CD player and the higher end seats (not leather though). Ill get you info as soon as possible. They are all indiana cars as far as I know.

P.S. There is also a civilian 92 B4C heritage edition car running around indianpolis. It is teal/green with silver stripes and is a 305/5 speed car. Ill probibly never see it again though unfortunitly.
It does have B4c in the glove box.Guy even kept the original underhood light fuse that the dealers are supposed to put in before selling car.Not even opened yet.Just got the car from one of Honolulus finest.They use as there personal pursuit vehicles.90,000 miles and for being here in Hawaii,almost rust free. vin is 1g1fp2381ml188964.Just got it for cheap cause trans is gone.Still had the radio,siren and all the fun stuff but had to give back.I think I have all the paper work except for window sticker.
Yep, I have the vin to the purple one I believe. I thought it was sold though. Also thanks to kaaawaz28 for your vin to the cause. How many did HPD have over there I wonder?

Well P.haze92,I am currentley checking with some of my cop pals to see who else might have more b4c.Interesting thing is I help one of the local dealerships pick up and deliver used vehicles to them and the other day saw an ex caprice 91 or 92 sitting on the dead lot with a busted trans.He told me 100 bucks takes it,but before I do,I got to find out how I can tell if it is a real Police issue or not.I will keepyou posted on the camaros!By the way,I scored on the camaro,I think,500 with bad trans and fuel pump and sending unit dead.Car sat in his garage for 6 years.At least I found the sending unit at rockauto.com.Aloha Thomas
If is definately worth buying. I have 2 of them and one is framed. It makes a nice picture of a B4C doing a burnout when opened up. I wouldnt hesitate to go about 20 bucks but that is entirely up to you. Awhile back I scoped up a bunch of 1992's for about $7 a piece if I remeber correctly. Cant find them anymore and that is the only year that has a nice color photo on the cover.

Much Mahalos p.haze92.You guys are very helpful and I am glad I joined this.I just wrote to the seller and asked if he would ship to Hawaii because alot of people wont even thought they say U.S. only.I would understand if it said Continental United States. Much Mahalos again.Been busy on getting this car up and on the road for my pops.Aloha
I just purchased a GM sales Brochure off ebay for my 94 B4C its pretty informative and a nice piece of sales literature to have around. p.haze92, Ill be heading to my friends house who owns the three 91-92 B4Cs either today or sometime this coming week so Ill have pics and info on all 3 of them. Sorry for the delay.
Originally posted by kaaawaz28 Hey B4Ctom1,What do you personaly think the highest I should stop bidding at if it does go high? Just hoping for some input.
Aloha
it all comes down to how much you are willing to spend. this one I have shown you and my 1992 one I own are the only two for thirdgens I have ever even seen. I have seen tons of the 4th gen ones, but that auction and the unit I have are the only two 3rd gen ones I have seen.

just on the 1992's only, I was wondering if you could show me where you saw them, or did you buy them?
if you bought them, can I get a picture of the group of them together to show others they exist? I had someone actually accuse me of creating the one I have shown pics of:
, and 2 )the sales manager saying how he knew the chief of Police and " he owed me a favor" .
