Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

[quote=sorefeet;3420659]dont know if this will help or just make me sound very ignorant. but a couple of years ago my brother found a b4c car in lufkin texas and it had a factory five speed and was claimed to have a factory 350. I told my brother that they didnt make those cars with that combo, he asked me to look it up in a camaro history book i had and when i did it said that the cars came with the L98 and could be ordered with an auto or manual. Anybody know if this is correct. Could there be a mysterios factory 350 5 speed out there?

Oh no!!! they are going to come out of the woodworks and start the bashing as to whether or not these were made................you did it now!! LOL and BTW you will hear a great deal of "I've never seen" and "GM absolutely did not build one of these cars" there will be nothing more than hear say and undocumented verifications. Because it all comes dow to one basic point, If you had the financial where with all to do so a dealer ship could and would do everything in their power to get you that car - and that holds true to this day

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

i truly hope that i didnt open pandoras box on this one, but as you can see i am new here, so i stipulate for the record: I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS WAS AN AUTHENTIC 5.7L 5 SPEED, THERE WAS NOT EVEN ANY VERIFICATION AS TO WETHER OR NOT THE ENGINE WAS A 350. MY HOUSE BURNED LAST NOVEMBER AND I DONT KNOW IF I HAD THE BOOK AT MY HOUSE OR IF MY BROTHER HAD IT AT HIS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. I ASSURE YOU I AM LOOKING AND WILL POST A PIC OF THE PAGE IF I CAN FIND IT. WHEN IT SAID "COULD BE ORDERED WITH A MANUAL OR AUTO" THEY MAY HAVE MEANT OR EVEN SAID B4C AND NOT L98. I DONT KNOW AND DO NOT CONDONE ANY VIOLENCE TOWARD OR PHYSICAL ABUSE OF ANY 5.0 CAMARO NOR WILL THE ACCUSED TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SAID ACTS.

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

Here is my project. Been off the road since 1999, 90,000 mile car. I just got it running again, motor sounds very good. Needs a bit more attention and it will be road legal, then I can start the body work.

http://www.thirdgen.org/techboard/hi...c-non-1le.html (1991 B4C - Non 1LE 5.7 Auto, A/C)

1G1FP2381ML188964

It was an original HPD car. Here in Hawaii police officers are given a subsidy to buy their own patrol cars. Quite a few ex police Grand National, Impala SS, SSP Mustang, and Camaro B4C cars here because of it!

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

I met with a police officer from Honolulu PD today who knew my car when it was in-service. He said he knew of three 3rd gen B4C cars (he has a real nice GTA.) I was told one of the former HPD cars is now an 8 sec drag car, back halved and all. And I just saw a 1992 Black B4C sold here recently too.

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

Thanks for all of the updates guys. Vins are much appreciated. Love how HI had these cars.

BTW, no 350 5spds made, lol. Check the vin for the 8 or the F. If you really want to verify any Camaro back to 1990, go to the dealer and have a spid report made. That will solve any questions.

Well found another one in Hawaii...black with grey interior. 1992 B4C 1LE car. It currently has no motor/trans, and I'll probably pick this one up for another project.

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

To clarify some of my questions I have done some research...

I was under the impression that only 175 5.7 1991 B4C cars were made, but I am now reading that as 175 5.7 1LE cars.

I've also figured out that the only way to get A/C and 1LE is on a B4C car.

So any #'s on how many 1991 5.7 B4C cars are out there?

Thanks!

As far as being complete, no, not yet. We probably have 380+ vins of the 589 needed. Will it be available for viewing? Dont know. The majority of the database comes from an associate who spends a ton of time retrieving them. This list has provided some for sure, just not the majority. Just takes quite awhile to accomplish this. Sure would be nice to go to GM and say hey, I need the vins to all 589 B4C police package camaro's made, but sadly, its not that easy.
I belive if we all take time to help with vin regestry we should be able to see final resalt. By the way this is a good thred thanks

Re: Calling all 1991 and 1992 B4C's

The B4C I posted above was sold before I could scrape the cash. I think it was parted for the 1LE brakes.

Still keeping my eyes out here in Hawaii, there was a "350 RS" for sale on Craig's list a bit back, but got no reply to my emails. My car is doing well, just painted my GN and getting ready to do the paint in the B4C. Just got a custom plate for it too!


No one knows what it means however!
