1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
I looked up the production numbers, and they are as follows. Just wondering. I just bought a mint 92 RS T-top. Dark Red on red, with 68,800 miles. Considering that only white, black, dark red, and bright red cars were outfitted with red interiors, and only 2,776 dark red camaros were produced in 92', do I have a rare find?
Arctic White 11,883
Dark Green-Gray 2,659
Dark Bright Teal 14,779
Black 7,524
Polo Green II (med)5,365
Brilliant Red (dark red) 2,776
Medium Quasar Blue 5,191
Bright Red 11,059
Hawaiian Orchid/Purple Haze 8,588
Arctic White 11,883

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
do you know the productions #'s on red interior? I really doubt it is that rare. and if it is rare I still dont think it's anything to brag about. The car would be better with black interior. IMO.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
Every third gen camaro I've ever seen has either a black or gray interior. Thats nothing to brag about either. In my opinion, I would take the more exotic looking red interior. You never see cars with red interiors, black and gray are boring once you see a nice one. I was more so wondering about the dark red exterior color. Thanks

Blow off the negative comments, you know what they say about opinions lol. I think that dark red and red combo might bring a bit more money, any time you get a low production number it just means they will be harder to find as time goes on. The bottom line is your car is worth what someone will be willing to pay, if you get a person who really wants that combo they may pay more than for say a white one.

IMO, Red Interior is awsome.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
Lower production numbers don't necessarily equate to higher dollars when it comes tome to sell.
It all comes down to if someone is willing top pay more for a red vs black interior.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
NVM. yah That is worth some $$. I'd keep it though. Thats an awsome car. Your not going to get as much as you would like. $5000 tops if you wait a while. Better to keep it.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
Thanks guys! It currently has a little over 68,800 miles. I traded in my 88 firebird to make it happen, I had my fun with it. I always wanted a Camaro, and this sort of called to me lol.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
I only plan to put a chrome air cleaner in it, and basically leave it how it is. My friend has a 2010 Camaro SS parked next to me, and pretty much blew me away on the interstate. I'm not really looking to make it fast though, going from a v-6 to the 305 is enough for now haha. It was garaged kept until June of this year when the previous owner sold it to the dealer I bought it from. I'd like to keep as original as possible and bring it to shows.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
I'm making it Respectably Speedy soon enough. Just got some Nitto NT555 285/40-17s tires in the rear (that about 10" wide FYI), bought a new Dynomax Super Turbo cat-back exhaust, a Hypertech Thermomaster TBI Computer chip, and s of course a shift kit. Many more to come. When I do a few more mods and get it "Legal", I'll start a build thread.

The color is BRM. I had a BRM 92 RS that was 1 of 1. It's rarest options were BRM paint, black interior, and T5.

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
That is so clean- Just don't modify it and keep it as original as you can! Once you bolt something on, you'll probably bolt something else on and so on... ya'know how that will go

Re: 1992 "Dark Red" Camaro RS: rare color?
The air cleaner and exhaust is the only thing i would do to it if i was leaving it stock. Nice RS btw, 305 tbi sound good with a aftermarket catback.

I know it's an old thread, but yes, please what is the color called for that interior, it looks the same color as mine. But I don't know which "red" it is... I hear so many different color reds...carmine, flame red, NOS red, etc...
