My new project! VIN/RPO question
Hey guys, I just recently got rid of my 2 '92 RS camaros and purchased an '89 IROC which is exact yr i was looking for. I wanted a 5 speed, 350 hardtop but endedup with a 5 speed, hardtop 305 TPI, but I am very pleased. I got a pretty good deal on the car to which is even more exciting. I have a question about the VIN though. I am struggling finding out what the vin codes are. I have tried many websites and no luck so I was wondering if you guys could help me. But now for some pics, threads are boring without them lol. VIN # is 1G1FP21F6KL197965.

I am guessing that it came from Hawaii? If so then it traveled a long way to Kentucky.

That will decode your vin for you.
The reason you had to settled on a 305 5-speed was that GM didn't make any 350 5-speeds.

Nice Car, Mad Respect.
Wow those are some sunbleached seats, you can tell its been somewhere sunny and hawaii definitely makes sense.
How much did you pay?
Love the Eating Fords S***** Dodges sticker.

the sticker was on it before I got it and I prolly will take it off along with the others to achieve the brand new look lol.
Thanks for your comment.

Re: My new project! VIN question
Good score man, I know I had to hunt high and low over Craigslist and eBay before I found my 305 5 speed, hard top. The deal with the 350 is, supposedly the T-5 can't hold the torque of the 350, so the 305 is all you could get in front of that trans.

Re: My new project! VIN question
Where abouts in KY are you? I have some stock 1991 seats I could trade you for those seats you don't want. I live in middle TN so shouldn't be too far.

Re: My new project! VIN question
I would agree that it probably is from Hawaii. (See attachment -sorry about the night pic. lol) If you can get someone to run a carfax you may find out where it's been as I did on mine.
Did you check to see if it has the G92 RPO code or anything like that?

Re: My new project! VIN question
Cool deal man, I would love to see a few shots of them, and the condition of the fabric really isn't too much concern, I intend on recovering them with light tan leather.
Thanks!
Thanks!
