Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Hey all, got a Chevrolet dealer Passenger Car Product Guide for all 1987 models. In it, was a yellow correction guide sheet which listed the 1987 Camaro LT.
"The Camaro LT package will not include soft "Boulevard" ride suspension or "quieter" exhaust, but will have the same components as the Sport Coupe. Please delete references to the above from the LT Model Features listed on page 2, the call-outs for these features from the illustration on page 8, the reference in the photo caption on page 12 and the listing of a single mufler with resonator as Standard on the Equipment Summary on page 16. The LT will now have as Standard the same exhaust system as the Sport Coupe, a single muffler with dual tail pipes."
Interior colors listed for both leather and cloth, custom or leather were Black (except for leather), Gray, Red, and Saddle.
As for an LT without Air cond., that's a rarity as all LT's were to have it as standard equipment. A rare option for all 1987 Camaros was the rear window sunshade louvers (option code DE1) but required the optional rear spoiler on the Sport Coupe and LT. Z28's & IROQ's came with the spoiler.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
'ello all. I'm new to the forum here and was just wondering if anyone is still checking up on this thread. I never thought the LT was anything special before...got mine almost 9 years ago when I turned 16 and it's always been in need of serious work that I've been putting off because I have other cars to get where I'm going and no garage space...
I was planning on doing a chop job with it before I found out it was a limited production model (according to the production numbers here on the site) and I'm glad now I hadn't started on that project (wanted to give it a front end like a 68 Camaro from the windshield forwards...)
My plan now is to restore it to factory standard. My question for you guys is this; if I replace stuff the car had out of the factory with stuff it could have had out of the factory (different interior color, leather seats vs cloth, etc) would it decrease the value of the car in terms of originality? Still intending to use parts that were found in 87 LTs.
While we're on this question, how about a similar one...if I replace any parts in the engine to increase performance, does that play with the value as well...?

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
If you keep your LT bone stock, it will keep its value. But like me and other LT owners, we have made some minor changes. Like in my case, I bought a new overhead console, auto dim rear view mirror, well pretty much made mine fully loaded.
The LT came in four option packages. The last one being with power seat, power mirrors, roof console etc. The only change I did to my Bose radio was add the 6x9 speakers on the inside sail area and speakers that go under the dash.
The engine was modified only with a dual snorkle air intake and headers. Suspension was updated to 1LE specs. Ronal R15 Firehawk wheels were put on and a 3" exhaust. But I decided to keep the stock exterior gun metal gray and red interior intact. And kept the original 14" Berlinetta type wheels that came with it too.
So you see, you can modify your car without looking too much from the original sleek design. Some even pop in an IROC 5.7 TPI in it. So you can keep the car looking basic and clean on the outside and beast underneath. Personally, if you want a fun driver, you can make undercover mods to the car, or for value purposes, keep it stock. But if you do modify it, and you have the space, keep the original parts to ever reinstall them to show car standards. Hope this helps.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
wow, do you have any pics of this car? these are all the things i would love to do to an LT if i ever come across another one. my current sportcoupe is setup for drag racing, i wouldn't mind making another one that looks similiar, but is setup for handling and comfort (mine doesn't the HVAC system anymore or anything really) check out my cardomain and Walter Racecraft for pics and more info.
Well I know it's a bit late, but here are some pics of my work in progress.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
I posted questions on an 87 in the restoration area -and after reading this thread, I'm sure that the car i am going to look at in an LT -it has the correct rims and is loaded with, AC, CC etc.including Bose Stereo -Is dark "hunter" green with grey interior possible? The car has 87,000 miles 305 auto., which the owner said has TBI, but looks original and must have a carb -right?

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
As far as the registry goes, i can't vouch for the vin, but i can say that there has been at least one crushed in Binghamton, NY. It was a dark red with correct wheels and a black (maybe graphite) interior. Not that many bells and whistles. Hatch pop, power windows, might have been power locks and mirrors, didn't notice. Good luck!

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Wow, I just finished reading this thread, and I must say that I had a VERY nice LT that I bone-headedly sold in 1999. It was an early production (December of 86) 30th anniversary LY vert. Gray with a red leather interior and HUBCAPS! The car was retained by GM until 1989 when it was originally sold. Also, the way that the tonneau cover latch worked was different than any other third gen vert Ive seen. I have pictures, but not electronic ones, I will see if I can get them scanned & post them up. IU also have some of the original dealer sales info that I could post if anyone is interested. (has all the options, mileage at original sale & ETC. The very strange thing is that the car came up as "destroyed" on the GM computer at the dealership I worked at in the 1990's. I always wondered if it was a test car that went to auction by accident. (the dealer bought it at a GM company auction)
I would love to have another third gen again, and have been talking to the wife about it lately......I miss my 90 Formula too!

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Here is a picture of my LT. I ordered it from the dealer in NoDak on May 31, 1987 and recieved it July 1, 1987 and currently still own it. Everything is stock except for the exhaust and the aluminum rims. The car is in immaculate shape.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
It has the Level 3 (1SC) package with the 305cid 4bbl (LG4) engine. Everything is original. The interior is nearly show room condition. It's been a great car for me for over 22 years now!

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Yea, that's the one I have in my car. It was a special order from the first owner, I am the second. Have the Bose system in it. I did add the power seat, power mirrors, auto day/night mirror and bought a new roof console ages ago when you could still order them from the dealer, Installed the 145 mph speedometer (kept the 85mph), and added the dual snorkle intake.
Like you, the exhaust is not stock. Have SLP headers on it, and the Ronal R15 Firehawk wheels (although I still have the original LT wheels stored. Just need a paint job for my baby and it's perfect.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Nice. Sounds like a great car!! I didn't like the aluminum wheels when I ordered the car so I went cheap with the hub-caps knowing I would replace them with custom wheels which I did within a week of picking it up. I still have the same wheels on the car (pictured above) but would ideally like something different. Part of me now wishes I had the original aluminum wheels to give it a more stock look. The hub-caps are butt ugly!!

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
If the stock wheels would have been 15" or more I would have kept them on the car. The only thing that I could never seem to find and what has been holding me back from painting the car (no thanks to GM's horrible paint formula here in CA) is the fact that I can not find the stripes and to me that's what sets the LT off. I can always get a person to stripe it but that may cost as much as getting the car re painted.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Hope this thread is still active.
I own a Red on Red LT with T-tops and no A/C. It has the LT steering wheel and the LT badging on the rear exterior sail/quarter panel. I do not have the original wheels as the car had 14" turbine rims from an '82 TA when I bought it. I now have 15" Z28 rims on it. The 2.8l has over 180,000 kilometres (112,500 miles) on it. Over this past winter I had the car repainted and replaced the interior.
If a database is still being created for these cars please PM me and I will pass along the VIN etc.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Does the car still have the option codes inside the glove box? If so, check for C60 which is A/C. I know that the guage package and rear spoiler was optional even with the V-8.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Checked my Codes and there is NOT a C60.
The Code I have is C41 which is "HVAC System, Heater, Outside Air with Fan"
From reading the other LT thread about the 1987 production numbers being wrong in the White Book, I have a theory as to what most likely happened in '87 when GM tried to "Package" their options for the first time.
My theory is that GM created these option packages and the dealers not being used to them ordered cars the old way and if a customer wanted a certain package that included an option that they didn't want the dealer most likely stroked that item off and when the order arrived at the plant they accommodated (made exceptions to the Option Packages) to satisfy the customer. (I have worked in Manufacturing and I know this does happen.)
Just my two cents.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Ok, it only took me a year to find my old pictures! This is the 87 LT convertible that I owned in the 1990's. I wish I still owned it! Those "very 90's" three spoke eagle alloys were purchased by me for the car as it came with a horrible set of cheap aftermarket wheels when I bought it. I searched in vain for a set of stock 14in. hubcaps but they seemed to be unobtainium at the time.
The only car I still own from those days is my 86 Celebrity Eurosport coupe. Most of you all probably do not like the old FWD cars.....but I will NEVER sell my coupe!!
Oh, and I will own another 3rd gen F-bod some day.....I absolutely love them!

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
I sold it to a young kid in northern Iowa back in 1999. I regret doing it, but it needed to be done at the time. I often wonder what happened to it & if it even still exists. I had to order a duplicate title once since I lost the original.....I actually just found the original last week.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
LT is a trim level found across the Chevrolet lineup on its cars, trucks and SUVs. LT isn't an acronym for something like “Luxury Touring” . According to a Chevrolet representative, it’s simply a code for higher-optioned trim designations

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Well every "LT" whether it was on a Suburban, or other Chevrolet vehicle, stands for Luxury Touring. A co-woker had a 1997 Astro Van and the emblem had LT on top and Luxury Touring spelled out below within the same factory emblem. And every literature on the net or books state that LT stands for Luxury Touring. Even from the first 1973 Camaro Type LT.
LT or Type LT is a luxury level for the Camaro and other Chevrolet cars. That I will agree on. Now I am curious, is this representative a salesman being specific on the Gen 5 Camaro's?

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Oh I totally agree with you that it's an awesome car. When I was looking for my first Camaro in the early 90's, I could have had a 1992 RS or Z28 new off the lot and my dad was going to give me the money for it. But when I saw my gun metal gray LT on the lot, I said screw the other two, i'm sure they were great cars in their own right, but my LT was what I really wanted.
People ask me what it really is, and I tell them to think of it as a fully loaded Z28 without the ground effects and base engine.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
You're kidding right? Why would the LT package include Interior upgrades when you say that LT means upgraded interior? LT stands for Luxury Touring as ST is for Sport Touring and GT is for Grand Touring.
The LT came with a softer ride (luxury touring), custom interior (luxury touring), quiet sound group for luxury touring, quieter exhaust for luxury touring, etc. Luxury trim is only a part of the LT package.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
You're comparing the new use of the option package trim with a model line!!! The 1LT, 2LT, etc is in reference to the trim levels, I will agree. The LT as a model itself stands for Luxury Touring. The 1LT and 2LT that you are referring to is similar to the 1SA, 1SB, 1SC option packages available during the 3rd gen years.
I don't think I know this, I KNOW I know it!
Oh, BTW, getting knowledgeable information from the dealership is almost like winning the lottery. Most people are there for the money, not the passion. I can walk into a Chevy dealer today and tell the salesperson more about the the new Camaro than they would ever know. I can do the same on the Silverado and other models. The dealership knowledge level is beyond low.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
Just to mess everyone up. Take a look at page 10 and 11 of the sales brochure.

It refers to the LT as the "Grand Touring Camaro". Doesn't sound right to me but I don't care if it stands for Lovely Transportation. I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
You're comparing the new use of the option package trim with a model line!!! The 1LT, 2LT, etc is in reference to the trim levels, I will agree. The LT as a model itself stands for Luxury Touring. The 1LT and 2LT that you are referring to is similar to the 1SA, 1SB, 1SC option packages available during the 3rd gen years.

Re: All 87 Camaro LT owners
The 1987 LT did not come with the soft ride suspension after all. It came with the same exhaust and suspension as the base sport coupe. The LT did not get the 15" Rally wheels the sport coupe got but the steel 14" wheels with hubcaps as base or the optional 14" alumminum Berlinetta style wheels but in silver and argent.
And, all 1987 Camaros were not specific models like the original Type LT or Berlinetta with that "S" designation in the VIN. They were trim options with their own customizable trim options. So trim packages within trim packages.
Now, personally, if Chevrolet would have treated the LT to a 5.7 like the Formula, then that would have been a Luxurious Grand Tourer.
