Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and the Camaro. I just get my hands on my first one. I have been online for hours trying to find out as much information I can on the car so I can restore it. All it needs to get running is a transmission. After hours of trying to track down my car, I landed here hoping to find help. Can someone help me identify my car? Here is what I know:

• Year- 1992
• White with black stripes and black rims
• "RS" on back and front dash with "25th Anniversary"
• Has a 350 under the hood (not stock).
• Automatic
• No spoiler

I will add pictures of it later along with better details. Like I said I am completely new to the Chevy Camaro, AND to car restoration period. Another question would be what type of transmission do I need, and how much would one cost? Wouild it be safe to buy one from a junkyard or Craig's List? How do I know if the engine is a 350 (the guy who sold it to me said it was)? Whatever the outcome, I traded a "beat up"1990 Acura Legend LS with 206,000 miles for this car. I feel like I made an ok decision. Thanks in advance for any help you guys provide.

 

All 1992 Camaros are considered 25th Anniversary cars. There were factory cars with stripes, but they were part of a "Heritage Edition". The white Heritage cars came with red stripes only. That doesn't mean a previous owner didn't add aftermarket stripes to a Heritage car. Look for RPO Z03 on the label inside the rear locked storage area. If you have that, the car is a Heritage Edition. If not, it's just a regular RS.

If you want an auto tranny, get a 700R4. Manual, get a T56.

Was the car originally a V8? You can tell by checking the 8th digit of the VIN. If the car was originally a V8, you'd see an 8 for the 350 (B4C police edition only), F for the LB9 (B4C police edition only), E for the L03. The L03 was the standard V8 for the RS. If the car has anything else, it's a V6.

Welcome to the forum.
