Body length

Hi, I'm a newbie and I need to find out the stock length of an 88 camaro. This would be bumper to bumper. I have a project going and I need to build toward the rules on body stretch, but I need to know stock length before I start. Can anyone help?

I would go with DJP87Z28, I used a tape measure and I am sure he has the original specs. I just don’t understand how I missed 9 inches: confused: I measured from front bumper to rear bumper and gave a +/-: confused:

Re: Body length

I figured that either way it was around 3.75 and 3.9 something. So the difference isn't that much. Thanks for the responses.
