Ok, so here's my first post. After finishing my s10, I decided to get a bit of American muscle. Today while roaming around car lots I found a RS in need of some TLC. I was wondering about the paint on it though. It is a dark forrest green and the rims are painted to match. I don't know what year it is, the guy said he does not know, he thinks it is between 88 and 91. Does anyone know if the rims came color matched like this?

 

Sounds like a Polo Green 1992 to me. The only year that color was available. Assuming the paint is original.

 

Here's the picture I took with my phone

 

the rims look pre 91-92... or maybe they were optional to ge the 16's?

Looks like a nice score to get for about $1000 or less if it has a V8 and in working order.

 

That car is a 91 or 92, those were the only years for those ground effects, and if the car was a V6 car they came with those 15" wheels. The 16's came on the 305 TBI RS's

 

Actually by the picture you took, it looks like it's the Teal color that was also available in 91-92, not Polo Green as I posted before.

 

Deffinately the Teal and those are the stock 15" rims.

 

Thanks for all the help guys, I got him to measure the rims and they're the 15". I'll still probably buy the car though. Maybe do a 383 stroker or something. If you got any ideas just let me know.

 

I beleive you could get a 305 TBI RS from the factory with 15" rims. 16"s were optional.

 

yes i agree the 15's were avalible on the rs. what triggered the 16's was the F41 RPO. that got you the Z28 suspension.
