1992 Firehawk...Enough said.

89 Turbo Trans Am...hard top, cloth interior.

88-92 GTA...Gun Metal Grey hard top.

 

i would get the car i own now,a 86 IROC with every available option, with the TPI and auto in copper metallic, no less!

 

Consider yourself blessed that you are satisfied, not all are so fortunate. I never stop dreaming about better cars in my garage.

 

I'd re-order my red '83 Z28 that had the LS Conteur interior, 5spd, 4 wheel disc brakes again, but this time with the L69 that came out just weeks after I took delivery of my LG4 car. The car was a hardtop with no power windows, locks, or seat, either. It also had the non-funtional fiberglass hood, too....

Wish I still had that car. It would be perfect for a LS7/T56/S60 swap and larger brakes, while keeping the exterior and interior all 1983, excepting the necessary wheels to house the big brakes, and some type of modern sound system.

 

I would re-order my 92 Z28, but instead of driving it 125 miles, I would just put it away.

 

Money no object produced thirdgens only means the only one I'd buy would be a Firehawk with the competition package. Assuming I could only order ONE thirdgen.

I love the TTA's, but I require a manual transmission for the fun factor as auto's leave me wanting.

 

+1 on the '87 yellow/tan IROC-Z.

 

A white '92 Formula, 305 TBI (easiest to change to a carb)/automatic with T-tops and nothing else. And, I mean nothing. No A/C, cruise, power windows/locks/mirrors, etc. NOTHING! Light weight and simplicity are the key here.

 

91 z28 black on black, hard top lb9/t5 g92. Hardtop with no options besides AC.

 

Leonard, stop rubbing it in on the low miles thing!!!

 

92 RS T-tops, 305 5 speed gray interior. they are not fast but are reliable as anything and are beautiful.

 

Scott, I was just thinking of you!! I know you want low miles when you buy it!!

 

 

Since im from jersey it would only be right to get a Firehawk. But if not that def a 92 formula.

 

My 90 GTA which is black with black leather, 5 sp and T Tops. Only option I would add would be the CD player.

 

Low miles = low fun

My car has 26K now, I've put 5K on it in the last 4 years. Tired of letting it sit. I drive it practically every day now.

 

I think they built 6 cars with the cd player in 90, there was some kind of problem apparently. It must be one of the rarest options ever.

EDIT: I see you are talking about a firebird, I have no idea how many of them had a cd, I was referring to IROCs.

 

92 - B4C w/all allowed options, 305 TPI w/5 speed, Arctic White W/grey interior

Other choice

85 Z28 - L69 w/5 speed all options allowed, Black/black

3rd choice
90 GTA/WS6 w/5.7

 

Body in white 1989 full iroc GFX car. Make it a race car

 

Just one GTA with a CD player according to the GTA Source Page Website. I wonder what the issue was with production.

 

I'm not attempting to call you out specifically, this is more as a general question to those have similar answers. Why so plain? Why not go for what we now know as a rare production model, or a special edition type of car.

Is it sentimental reasons? Concourse? I'm just curious.

 

Mine isn't so plain. It's a top of the line 90 GTA, black with black leather interior, 5 speed, export code, N 10, all the power options plus T Tops.
They only made 78 with the 5 speed, way fewer were exported to Canada.
I haven't seen another one with this engine/color combo.

 

I forgot to add the reason why I like a 90 - It has the new style 90 - 92 interior with the cup holders with the last year of the old style front fascia.

You couldn't get 1le with T Tops and a Firehawk was way too expensive at the time.
TTA was nice but automatic only so that's out.

I would also consider a green 91/92 vert with a 5 speed and black leather interior.

 

That may be the case for you.....not me!

 

Neither my car or I is getting any younger so it's time to enjoy it, before one of us can't. I don't plan on selling it, so the mileage is really a non-issue. I'm old enough to realize now that fire, flood or thieves could take the car even if nothing else does. It's only a car; when it is gone I'm thinking that the memories of driving it will be "happier" than those of watching it sit and slowly rot away. Just sayin'

 

afremont, if you are unaware, Leonard owns the very last 3rd gen made. GM records show only 70007 Camaros were produced in 1992 and his car is VIN 70008. Check out the site that JT put together for him.

That's pretty cool, I had no idea on that. According the production numbers here:
http://www.camaro-registry.com/production.htm
there is some discrepancy on the total production number. It's like they might be counting the 1LE models twice, once as an IROC and then again as the 1LE.

This brings another thing to mind. A few years ago it was generally accepted that the 4213 production number for 1990 IROC Z-28 production was inclusive of convertibles and not just the coupes. Now, that's not the case. Also, some production numbers (like L98) seem to be known now, whereas I believe that it used to be accepted that the factory just didn't keep those statistics during that production run. It's interesting seeing history change.

EDIT: Anyone know how many cars the Van Nuys plant cranked out per day?

 

That's the spirit! I totally agree, trying to keep mileage low on a car you love to drive is extremely taxing on the constitution. Drive it. Otherwise, who are you saving it for? The next owner?

If I could order that new Jamaica Yellow 92 Formula, I'd be working on wearing it out every day.

The Leonard car is a special case all together. Since it can't be driven, it's not even a car, it's a trophy.

 

You need to be cautious of information found on other websites. The production numbers on that page listed is definitely incorrect.

 

406 cars per shift. The last few years they only ran one shift per day.

 

Ok, I got 34896 from this site as the total production for 1990.
If they made 406 cars per shift, then my car was built during the last four shifts of production. My VIN is less than 1500 from the end. Wonder who got the last IROC. Any idea of the highest VIN number known for a 1990 IROC?

mine would look something like 1g1fp2386ll1334xx

 

I already have one, but it would be exactly what I have now: 1991 Trans Am GTA, black with Beechwood colored leather interior, 350 motor with all of the SLP options and t-tops.

 

Too bad you can't actually order that combo from the factory. 350 w/ t-tops on the GTA was n/a

 

Actual production car: 1LE five speed(305 of course)

any period thirdgen: LT1 six speed test mule.

Actually the last '90 Camaro has VIN# 134987. It's a white 6 cyl RS with red base interior (73B).
The last '90 IROC has VIN# 134981. It's an L98 red car with grey custom cloth interior (82C).

 

I believe this would have been available:
1988 GTA 1LE
Black
LB9 305
T-5 Trans
T-Tops
Digital Dash
4-wheel disk brakes
Dana 44 Rear w/Posi (dealer)

Only wish it could be done with my birthyear '89, but then I couldn't get the digidash

 

Heh I did factory order my current 85 Z/28 and proabiy would not change anything if I could do it again

 

According to GTA historian Frankierider, 1LE was not available on GTA from 88 on.

 

Oh if i could choose! Hmm.

1991 Formula 350

-L98
-700r4
-w/o T-Tops (deforms the body)
-Power locks
-Power windows
-Black exterior and black interior
-WS6 package
-Definitely analog tach
-4-wheel disc brakes

Oh that'd be so awesome...

WAIT..

WAIT.

Oh yeah, I do have one

 

All stock 1989 Trans Am 1LE

 

If anyone knows where I can get brand new weather stripping for a 89 Trans Am in Toronto Canada if you can let me know Thanks

 

I totally forgot about my quote in your sig..
sorry 4 the off topic post, carry on.

 

Firehawk Convertible in Jamaica Yellow



If I could be sentimental Id have my Black 88 GTA Hardtop, L98, beechwood interior again. Got it brand new just out of highschool.

If I could just be downright greedy I would add a 1985 Yellow IROC 5-Speed. With that Lier Siegler Camaro, Camaro, Camaro interior in black (I know I just butchered the name there).

I would be all set!

 

Actually,I'm satisfied with mine and its probably the least desirable of all the thirdgens.I love the way the RS looks and I love having the 5 speed.I would probably order the same car I have now.

 

The car I grew up with... BEAUTIFUL!! 1985 Charcoal Metallic T-top 305 TPI Z28 with the stock black 15" wheels. Black lower ground effects with silver/black decals, Rear window louvers and grey interior. It got stolen in 91 or 92 in Austin, Texas. To this day, if I ever find out who... Come jails, death or institutions, I mean I dont care. He will freakin pay. I am always on the lookout for one like it. There arent many.

 

I would order my unicorn:

1990 Trans Am GTA Gunmetal Gray.

 

My exact 92 GTA, but with CD, then I would send it to SLP for a complete comp Firehawk conversion consisting of all the options that #003 had (12-pt cage, fuel cell, driveshaft loops, both Recaro seats, etc).

Hells yeah...

I'd have the only Firehawk GTA, yeah now what! At Least I can say I owned both cars separately haha.

Of course there would then be 2 Dark Jade Grey Metallic 92 'Firehawks lol.

 

'87 Yellow IROC, tan interior, hardtop, L98/700R4, crank windows, no air.

Finding a low mile 350 yellow 87 is tough... I'd love to own this car one day
