It's 85-87 Sport Coupe/Berlinetta/LT specific.

Re: Front grill

There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that the 85-87 coupe body style is relatively unusual and unpopular, so finding parts can be difficult (low supply). The good news is that since it's less common, there are less people looking (low demand). Ultimately, that might mean you'll be able to get a good deal when you do find a grill.

I'd watch Ebay personally, but also check all the specialty vendors that cater to Camaros. You might find something new/old/stock, or a used take off, where you least expect it.

The 82-84 setup is completely different. It's a 2pc setup, whereas the 85-87 are a one piece like the later cars, but the coupe version is different from the typical Z28/RS grill.

There's a regular grill, and a fog light version, that will fit, but it needs to be from a 85-87 Sport Coupe, LT, or Berlinetta.


Note the mounting holes in the corners -
