Cracking the codes on the 82-92 F-body. How to determine what you have.

This topic has been covered three billion times here over the years, but over on the other various social media platforms, misinformation runs rampant. So @chazman and I decided to record a conversation that we hope people find useful. Just posting here for awareness. Be sure to post in the comments and let us know what you think and what topics we should cover next.

Great video.

It still amazes me how many people buy not only performance cars (camaros, firebirds, vettes, etc.) and not know what they have.

Even had a guy in the Corvette forums say he brought a c4 ZR1 and actually it was a LT1 6 speed vette.

Being in these cars since Jan. 1992 I have always loved the lines of these cars.

Gone are the days of $3000 drivable good condition 3rd gens are long gone.

Even Hagerty had an article today that classic car prices are starting to drop but inflation is keeping them level.
