Need some help! On my 1988 Camaro Iroc-Z I realized that the front bumper suport bar (about 5 ' long) is made from aluminium while other camaro's have the same suport made of steel. It has a 350 engine and 4 disc brakes and an oil cooler, also the transmission cooler is alu and behind the watercooler. At the moment I restore this car because it has been destroyed by vandals. Do Camaros had this as an option? thanks for response

 

Sounds like just another modified car.

 

what do you mean by modifications? the car has not been driven since 1994 ,it has 45000 miles ans the vin code says it a 1988 coupé witha 350 engine 1G1FP2181JL133817

 

A transmission cooler separate from the radiator isn't stock.

 

Are you asking if there were Camaros made in 1988 with 1LE? Yes there were.
Are you asking if your car is one of those? I'm going to say no, without knowing anything else other than your car is a 350 and word is there are none of that variety. But you can look for yourself, find the SPID in the console, and look for 1LE. Its not there (it will not be), you dont have one. Period.

 

Hy again, I dont find a SPID in the console, the speedo is a 240 km/h
and recently I was reading about the driveshaft on 1LE's...I will check that tomorrow

 

and again a silly question: SPID is a tag?

 

Cars other than 1LE's were equipped with the alum drive shaft.

I tought 1LE's have a aluminium drive shaft?... however mine has a steel shaft. But can someone tell me why it has the alu bumper suport?

 

and the front looks like a 1983/84 but the materialcode/production date is 87

 

Service Parts Identification that should be affixed inside the console for your vehicle. It's white with several 3-character codes that identify the equipment on the car. It was used by Service when ordering correct replacement parts.

 

That just made the whole issue even better. The front end was wrecked at some point. A previous owner replaced the front bumper cover and support. At this point, the car has been hacked. I can guarantee it is not one of the four 1988 1LEs. Good luck.

 

aah...that makes sense,thanks a lot
