Berlinettas
I have a 84 Berlinetta, with the digital dash, overhead consloe, and a carbureated 305 . (i know it's probably not spelled right.)It also has the Knight Rider radio. Does anyone know about how many of these were made, and if theyare worth more then a normal Sport Coupe? Also, its been through alot, and probably needs paint, and a new engine or a rebuild. Would I be better off restoring it, or just selling and buying a different Camaro? Thanks

Well, you're gonna get the answer I give everyone that has a semi-unique 3rd gen....restore it!! Why??
1) It's a Berlinetta
2) If it's mostly in original condition, finding a 16 yr old original one is an awesome find
3) Digital dashes are cool
I think a Berlinetta is a cool ride...restore it and enjoy it. Honestly, if you expect to make a lotta $$ on it, this is not the car to restore. But if you want to drive, restore and enjoy a unique 3rd gen, I think that's great!!
Wouldn't it be kinda boring if every 3rd gen enthusiast owned an IROC, GTA or T/A?? Where's the originality?

Thanks, I think I am going to do that, I found out what color it used to be, so I am going to get it painted to it's original color, and I am also looking for some Berlinetta wheels, so if anyone knows of any, please let me know. I checked the numbers, and it is the original engine, and tranny. i am probably going to have those rebuilt as well. Thanks again
