Z28 RPO code.

 

You can reply to your own threads. Rather than post 4 different threads that ask about the same topic, use one thread. I'm locking the other threads on the 91Z28 convertible topic, please use this thread for any other questions dealing with a 91 Z28 Convertible.

Thank you.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG W/YOU PEOPLE?
CAUSING PROBS?? HOW DO YOU FIGURE? I ASKED A LIGITMATE QUESTION!!! ARE YOU ALL ON CRACK?? GET A LIFE

 

Hey Gregg1LE, where is he causing problems? I checked his posts and I didn't see any problem with what he was doing other than what Drew mentioned. 6 of 8 posts are in the History/Restoration alone. He asked the same question in Tech and TPI because he didn't get a sure answer from one but did from the other. He's asking questions trying to get info.

He's new to the boards, so give him a chance. Drew told him the way it is, we don't need any rats saying something I don't see as true.

I apologize in advance for calling you a rat and I don't want Drew to lock this on my account (I'll delete/modify the post if necessary).

It isn't that difficult to convert an RS to a Z28. The trim levels are almost identical. The gfx are the same except for badging. Just check the rpo codes look for engine code LB9 and if it shows LO3 then it was an RS. I'm not sure of any other id marks that would clearly show what the car is other than that.

I try to judge everything as fairly as possible, most people don't know when they're being annoying, but we also have to deal with trolls. If I see a username associated with troll-like activities it'll be dealt with as fairly as possible. I do think that ChevyGuy350 is just new to the process and doesn't know what he's doing, and I've warned him accordingly. Likewise if he feels that my judgement is irrational and unfair or has problems fitting in with the crowd, he can feel free to leave. If he decides to cause trouble he'll be removed.

So please ChevyGuy350, don't spam the board with 20 different threads asking questions on the same topic, it makes it difficult to get a complete answer in one thread and it makes it difficult to distinguish between topics that have been covered and new threads. Not to mention it moves all the other threads down further on the screen and can quickly bury a single thread with a solid topic. This is common courtesy and netiquette, if you feel you're being unfairly persecuted you can email myself or any other moderator for a deeper discussion.

alright then back to the topic(drew :rolleyes yes it is extremly simple to make a rs into a "Z28" buy re pop badges for 50 bucks get the spoiler, hood blisters(200 bucks at a bone yard)and spend an afternoon making your self a Z(dont forget to remove the rpo codes kids!;they're in the trunk!)only sure fire way is to check the vin, the if the eighth digit is anything other than a F or an 8 tell the dude he's a faker and lower his price, if the eighth digit is a T then it's a V6, and E is the code for TBI(also chack to see if he's ot a round air cleaner that routes to behind the drivers side head lights) the TPI's that came in the Z's have a plenum/runner combination and the V6 MPFI's are just plain funky lookin if you ask me oh yeah the F code is for the 305 TPI and the 8 is for the 350 TPI

Can't be a T, no convertible came w/o a V-8. Also can't be an 8, no 350 TPI. So that narrows it down to 8th digit F.

Also look for the sixth digit to be 3, if it shows 2, it was originally a coupe, converted. For what you've said, I think its a genuine car, even if you're suspicious.

 

Also its important to remember that not all 91-92 Z28's had the FE2 suspension, and none had the Z28 specific spoiler. The only way to be sure its really a Z28 is the Z28 rpo code. The engine would be a fair way to judge it as well, but it is more imaginable that a car could somehow end up with the wrong engine from GM, but without the Z28 code its not a Z28, simple as that.

agrees w/ drew, my 92 Z vert has complete RS suspension (springs, !wonderbar, unimpressive looking sway bars) but it is definitely a true Z28.
But since you couldn't get TPI in an RS vert, and you couldn't get TBI in a Z vert, thats your first flag. Of course, the RPOs tell all. (btw, mine are in the console, not the trunk.)

what RPO codes would tell me it's a true z28 conv. or what RPO codes would tell me it's an RS.

 

first reply "Macgyver: Z28 RPO code."
my reply "without the Z28 code its not a Z28"

The code Z28 is the code for a Z28. How simple is that?

You want to look for

• CZAB
• CZA1
• CZA2
• CZA3

if it says CCA(insert number) than it is an RS Convertible. FZA_ is Z28 coupe FCA_ is RS coupe

 

was the IROC package available on the 91 z28 convertible? cuz the guy says it has the IROC package

 

No, it wasn't available on the 91.

 

so then i guess this guy is trying to pass an RS off as a Z28 huh???? or maybe he just doesn't know what he's talkin about?

does anyone know what was included in the IROC package?

 

did the 91 z28 convertibles come w/the rear spoiler or was that just the coupes?? & also, did the 91 z28 convertibles come w/TBI 305's or just TPI's??

 

they all came with 305 tpi i think and they didnt have the big spiolers the verts spoilers are kinda like the first gen spoilers

------------------

 

The IROC package is the Z28. Its the same trim level, although the license on the name wasn't renewed.

I think the spoiler is the same hard to find, expensive as hell convertible spoiler that my car is missing. It is similar to the coupe as far as the decklid is concerned, but it has the fiberglass runners on the top of the rear fenders.

Hey Mac, I was interested in going to the gathering on North East Third Gen.org in June. Could you email me some specifics on this, I have the same name on both sites. I would like your address so I can search for hotels which are open in the area.

would the VIN breakdown be the same for the 91 z28 as for the 89 or 90 IROC?? i.e. does each # still stand for the same thing??
