History / OriginalityGot a question about 1982-1992 Camaro or Firebird history? Have a question about original parts, options, RPO codes, when something was available, or how to document your car? Those questions, answers, and much more!
There are a few posts that I have found on it over the years, here is what I have read.
There were 116 Z28 1LEs in 92 since the remainder of the 1LE cars were B4C RS.
The B4C + 1LE RS cars could not be ordered with the heritage Z03 package, so at most it would be 1 of 116 cars. There are plenty of documented 92 Z28 1LEs that do not have the Z03 package, so the number is surely less than that.
Some people claim there are less than 10 known to exist in all Z03 color combos (white with red stripes, purple haze with silver, green with gold, black with red, and red with black). I think someone ran a compnine report and it came up with upwards of 30, but there are some people out there who think their data is not completely accurate. I have never used it and do not have experience with it's level of accuracy. Does anyone have access to their reports that could give it a shot?
I just bought one from a forum member so I have been trying to track down the same data. There are a few members here who have them.
This might be a good thread to make a registry for them.
If anyone else knows of any, please post the info here! PS if anyone who owns the cars above wants me to pull the pictures down that I posted for any reason, just let me know and i'll be happy to do so. Thanks!
GM did not keep track of options on top of options. Compnine is able to provide some figures because they have a script, along with having access to RPO codes for VINs, to provide some data. As said above, their records are incomplete because they don't have every VIN. They show atleast 32 Z03 with 1LE 1992 Camaros in their database.
This car is in the GM Heritage collection in MI - L98 auto car, 4k miles:

Is that hood popped, or is that the fitment? My hood doesn't align perfectly on the same side and I'm fiddling with the adjustments to get it right.

Yes, its definitely off on that car, most of the pics I have seen of that particular car they are like that... its too low on the pass side and far too wide in the middle and drivers side... you'd think being owned by the museum they'd spend some time on it and adjust it... that would drive me nuts lol!! I have a thing about it haha...
ev305tpi, beautiful car. Looks unusual to see a low mileage deluxe interior in that color. The console and all are so clean. That color interior does not age well when it is well used. Cheers.

Thanks!! Yeah I now what you mean, when well used they generally look terrible haha... The original owner special ordered it this way and kept it very very nice over the years, there is virtually no wear inside. I have been told that it's potentially the only one like it with this interior (white / red Z03 + 1LE + the 92 Deluxe Tan Interior). Here are a couple more interior shots
I know a gentleman that bought a new red one with the L98 Automatic with no A/C. He was from Dayton, Ohio. It got T-Boned by a guy running a red light maybe 15 years ago. I don't think it had the Heritage package though. Soon as he pulled up in my driveway to show me the car I knew what it was when it did not have the fog lamps in the front.
Hey guys,
Im the new owner of the Purple Haze L98 Auto 1LE that's posted on here. Ive only had it about a month or so. Its spent all of its life in Illinois and Ohio before I got ahold of it. Its going to need some work, and Im wanting to go back with as many OEM parts as possible, for obvious reasons of course. That being said I would really appreciate any and all advise in doing this!
Thanks,
Jason
Thanks, I really appreciate the warm welcome! Ive been trying to get ahold of this car for quite a few years, trying to keep track of it. Your right, the more and more I do research, Im finding out that the rarity is ALOT higher for this particular car than originally thought.Any and all advise/help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome !!!! I may have some pictures of it I could share with you, If I can find them.
wow how sad to see a car not even make it into the next generation of restorers. Just crush it for cheap scrap metal change. I do have good news there might be 1 1LE Z28 ZO3 optioned car here in California. The car is in really bad shape and the owner is a scrap metal person. I got to see the car two years ago and it was missing a lot of parts. The engine had about 63,000.00 and it had a 5 speed. The interior has no power windows, no ac. It is Hawaiian Orchid with silver stripes and grey vinyl interior. The one thing I wish I could of done was take pictures, but he wouldn't allow it. I did look at the sticker and it had the z03 option z28 option and 1le. I was interested in buying it but the guy won't respond and I've kept tabs. I ended up buying another 1992 25th zo3 black with red vinyl 5 speed 305 tpi with Car & Custom T Tops. I'm going to try and get in touch with the guy and see if there is any hope to rescue the car.
Always been a fan of the Z03 Z28's. Have had 3 of them over the last few years. Still have 2. And I recently got my first 1LE. Now I'm on the hunt for that 1LE Z03. I found that red one listed above with 55k miles. Send some emails from the info I collected. Not sure if it ever sold or not.
a red on black 5 speed 1LE Z03 Z28 would be my dream. Not sure it exists but I'd still take that other one with L98 and grey interior.
