`92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

New to this site and third gens as a whole. Thought I'd reach out to the experts to see if anyone knows anything about this car I recently purchased in New Mexico. Came with tons of documentation that would strongly suggest the miles are legit. Thoughts?

It's one picture of a Z28. I can see this all day on google images. That's my thought.

Seriously can't tell you anything without many more close up pictures and documentation.

Re: `92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

Yeah, the RPO codes from the glovebox and more photos would help..

There was one for sale that was restored and had gray leather interior.. There was a post about it around here somewhere..

All You Can Tell From The Pic Is That It's A White Z28 That Looks In Reasonably Good Condition.

Re: `92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

Thanks fellas, should have been more specific. Was wondering if anyone may have recognized the car from my vague description. I've got mileage and maintenance documentation since new so not concerned about miles being real. Have gone through it pretty thoroughly and it appears to be as advertised. Maybe these pics will help?

Re: `92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

Seems to be a typical well equipped Z28 with the G92 performance. Odd it hasn't got the WS6 but at least the 92's had additional "glue" on the unibody for increased rigidity.

Looks like a nice car to me. It's not a 1LE or even a WS6 package, but it's a G92 TPI car with a 350. Enjoy.

Re: `92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

Looks like a nice score.. Nicely equipped and pretty good price tag for 1992!

Could Camaro’s get WS6?

1LE is cool collector thing.. but I’d rather A/C, a stereo and options..

I think the 1LE was rare due to how it was ordered, but not the most expensive package at the time to get.. Correct me if I’m wrong..

I always thought WS6 was a TA thing but confess I never followed up much through third gen. Previous owner added 1LE brakes and an aluminum driveshaft but that seems to be only mods. since new. A/C is a must so 1LE cars weren't a consideration. Also mentioned a couple of factory recalls regarding fuel tank and injectors that were done somewhat recently?

I can only lay claim to the 28 year old one white one in the foreground. It's going to a be surprise 16th b-day gift for my son so had it shipped to my work where that pic was taken.

Re: `92 Z-28 with 10k miles on eBay

Yeah apparently the RPO for the Camaro was FE2.... sorta. The Z28 suspension is still different from the Firebird setup. But FE2 is the performance suspension package.

Thank you DynoDave43. Next month will be the 4th HRPT for my 15 yo son and I in our `69. He doesn't know about this car yet but if I can get it sorted in the next couple of weeks I might slip it onto the transporter to Charlotte instead of the `69 and surprise him with it there. Getting the A/C squared away seems, right now, to be the only barrier.
