I will post a pic of them asap. My wording might have been confusing but I bought a bunch of the 1992 model brochures which is the plain jane blue one like you have B4CTom. I probably bought like 5 or 6 of them. Cant remember where but it was like 5 years ago though. I need to find them too. The 1991 brochure is far better but they contain the same info, no more no less.

Here is the purple 92 B4C, It was an Indiana highway partol car I belive. It is only 100 cars apart from the burgandy one that was rolled. The VIN is: 1G1FP2381NL148286

Its not a great pic but the car has been stored for around 3 years and there wasnt much room between it and the 91 vette next to it.



Here are some more pics. There is one of an odd ground strap that connects the hood to the body of the car, the only thing they can come up with is that it might have been to get rid of static electricity. And you can see the radio is removed as well, it had a later modle radio in it and they were in the process of putting a correct radio in it.

I saved the best one for last. This car is a survivor. It is in awsome shape for having over 100k on it. It was a civilian car and was special ordered for a gentalman in southern indiana. The car came in and a guy who worked at the dealership snached it out from under the guy who ordered it. And there is supposed to be another black 92 B4C ordered exactly like this one other than the color. Its VIN is: 1G1FP2388NL145109



And here are more pics or it.

wouldnt we all, nobody has that answer currently

but, the best way to figure it is to make a registry, and currently this is the best registry there is (I challenge anyone to show me a better 91-92 B4C registry).

listing them by vin number gives you your order of the registry atleast.

look in the tool compartment "little latching plastic door on drivers side which is opposite of the spare tire under the hatch area" for the option code sticker. Look for "B4C" among the items on the label.

I'm so glad that this car is not a fake!!!!

Does this mean you have a partial registry available for viewing??
How do we get to where we can see it??
How many cars do you have so far??

I always wondered where that sticker was located.
Just found mine by accident myself this spring.
Been in & out of the side compartment zillions of times but never paid any attention to what the sticker was til now.
Looked in the floor consel lid when I bought it in 2000.
When it wasn't there or in the door I'd always figured it was a fake.

Why are people so paranoid about posting their VIN numbers? I don't get it. You have no problem driving your car around town and leaving it in a parking lot where someone can simply read the VIN number_through the windshield.

Do you think that by posting, some guy is going to travel 1,500 miles across the country to steal your car or something?

ssean92, sorry man. None of the parts are forsale off that rolled car. They are in process of stripping it to rebuild another base 92 RS they have. Gonna build a B4C clone.

It may seem paranoid to some people, but perfectly legit to others. Why waste time thinking about it? To each his own.

1991 B4C VIN#

I have a 1991 B4C VIN#1G1FP2389ML181924. It was bought originally by for me by my police department. I drove it 4 years for my department than purchased it from them. Over the last 2 years I have restored it to showroom condition and left it completly stock. This car is going to Barret Jackson some time in the next 60 day to be sold. The car has 138k original miles. Everything has been rebuilt: eng, trans, diff and complete susp all with original gm parts. Car was repainted and interior recieved new gm carpet and the seat were recovered with gm seat covers. I even have 4 brand new eagle GSC's. I bought the restoration parts over the years because I new they would eventually quit making them. I have all documents with this car inlcuding pictures of me picking it up a Bill Dunfee Chevrolet when it was new, a 13min video of me and the car on cops in a 153mph pursuit, all service records, before and after pictures of restoration and all reciepts. I will really miss this car when its gone. I also own a 94 B4C Camaro, 94 9C1 Caprice LT1's and a 99 9C1 Tahoe. All cars that I drove for my department.

I think that all of the RC cars were blue, with the majority out in the western provinces. My car came from Saskatchewan originally, although some people swear that it was the same car that pulled them over out here in Alberta!

I think that the Metro Toronto Police had some as well - there was an article years ago that was broadcast by TSN (a canadian cable sports network) that showcased third gen pursuit cars....

Also, based on the info posted by Mark ZZ3, there were 57 Z49 1LE cars and 30 R7U Player's Challenge cars as a subset of the 57 in 1992 imported. That would mean a max possible 27 B4C's to Canada... how many are on your list?
