Compnine's database shows 206 - 1992 Camaro RS Convertibles with the 84 color code. Compnine has most of the GM records to be able to give some production figures when dealing with combinations.

Out of this number only 55 Z28 coupes were made in this color called "Purple Haze".
The convertibles only came with the red and Chrome badge, the RS came with the Yellow RS and Red 25th monicker on the dash panel passenger side.

The Purple Haze/Hawaiian Orchid color was available on 1992 cars. My car has silver and black interior with a 305. This was the common type that people sought after for the RS. It is rare. The Hagerty price quote maxes out at around $16K, but the price is climbing in value.
How long have you had your RS. Been looking for my 92 RS i sold back in 2001 in NC.

It went through a couple owners after it left my place, maybe that's his now? I'm not sure.

edit: yes, Mike owns it now and will until he departs this planet
