Here. You can do all the math.

This is out of the "Standard Catalog of Camaro 1967-2002".

There were 70,007 1992 Camaros produced.

34.1% had the 3.1 V6, 61.6% had the 305 TBI, and 4.3 percent had the 350 TPI.

40% had t-tops from the factory. Who knows how many actually have t-tops though? Aftermarket t-tops are quite common on F-bodies.

well we can get reasonably close...

Here is what we know:
- NO RS came with TPI, (except for those Police cars )
- ALL Z28's had TPI either the 305 LB9 or 350 L98
- T-tops were NOT availble on the Camaro with a 350 in 1992
- Total production = 70,004


From the same Book "Stanard catalog of Camaro"
in 1992
There were 5197 - Z28's
There were 1254 - Z28 Convertables

4.3% 350's = 3010 Units

leaving 2187 305 LB9 Z28's

Unfortunatly I think the book is in error, but oh well...

IF 40% of all Camaros got T-tops, then you can only guess on a law of averages 40% of the 2187 305 LB9 Z28's would also have T-tops leaving a grand total of 875 T-top Z28's

Chances are there were more than that, but just playing with numbers....

Car: 84TA, 79 y84 Bandit , 73 TA
Aero TA production numbers?

Is there a breakdown of the 84 Trans Am that separates how many were made with the aero package on it versus the normal TA?

Thanks

IF you have the RPO of the Aero Package then you may be able to contact GM and get a total production of cars with the Aero Package. Since that package was T/A only it would be a no-brainer to figure those cars with and those cars without the Aero Package.
