In my ever growing quest to know as much about thirdgens as possible, I am turning to dash emblems(kinda weird I know)

What emblem came in what car?

I am mainly concentrating on Z28s and Irocs, but all information would be great.

I know 1990 had Iroc Z28 in yellow
91-92 had Z28 in yellow

My main confusion is the 85-89 Irocs. Some said Z28/Iroc Z or Z28/tuned port injection Iroc/Z28, Z28/5.0 HO, etc

Just want to know what got what!

thanks

Chris

 

If you had an IROC-Z, regardless of engine, it said IROC-Z under the Z28 logo.

If you had a TPI car and it was NOT an IROC-Z, then it said Tuned Port Injection.

If you had a 5.0 HO and it was not an IROC-Z, then you got the 5.0 HO emblem.

Crossfire cars had Crossfire emblems.

90-92 cars had yellow emblems.

There may be more that I missed tho...

 

OK, the Tuned Port Injection difference I didn't know. I am busy learning

Thank you!

 

1987 IROC-Z28 dash emblem

 

Ok, let's see what I can get put together here. If anything is missing or incorrect, prove it to me and we'll get it updated. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I've heard some say that blue dash emblems came on their blue car or discolored emblems that are now purple are factory original colors, etc.

Very detailed Scott. Thank you.

So, a RS only had a RS dash plaque one year(I do have one of those!)

 

The SE is a place holder.

 

Beautiful collection. Do you have any spares or duplicates you'd sale?

I did notice a black Camaro emblem in there that Scott never mentioned. Where is it from?

 

When I mentioned silver CAMARO, I was referring to the font. I forgot that there were two different backing plates

 

The plain CAMARO emblems are totally different, not just in color. The black emblem has recessed letters; the letters on silver one are raised. The silver also has a red/while/blue insignia on it. I want to say 82-84 had the black, 85+ had the silver, but I'm not really sure when the cutoff was. My '87 SC had the silver.

 

I have seen the Blue Z28 w/IROC below it. But I have no proof. FWIW, it was on a blue IROC Z...and I don't remember the year

 

It's a custom job. I have the silver CAMARO emblem above on my car, painted red. Another custom job. There is a purple Z28 emblem, but that is another can of worms. Some say it exists, some say it's faded red.

 

The purple is faded red. End of story!

From what I can tell, the 1987 - 1991 cars used the emblem with the tri color bars. The 1982-1986 cars used the black background with just the CAMARO font.

And since the ZF isn't a factory emblem, I didn't document what years it was used.

 

This is sticky or tech data worthy.

 

They need to save all that emblem /photo info for the FAQ.

 

Yes. I think when this post runs it's course it will be getting copied to that board.

 

YAH!

I agree as I was unable to find what I was looking for by searching, so I made the thread.

 

Between the updated dashes (90-92) and pre-facelift (at least 85-89), do the emblems interchange? i.e., 90-92 dash into pre-90 car, using a pre-90 emblem?

 

I would like to add that 82-83 Berlinetta's had a gold "berlinetta" emblem
and 84-86 had "camaro" recessed into the dash.

 

Yes, they all interchange...

 

I know this was put up last year but does anyone know where I can find the special indy 500 dash emblem it is the last item I need to find to help my husband complete his car?

 

They pop up on eBay all the time. I don't see any out there at the moment. Generally sell for $50-$100 depending on condition, and whether or not the prongs are still on the back.
