I own a 92 Firebird Base with a 5.0L V8. Im wondering who else on here owns one like mine, because i have seen a few like mine but not any really like EXACT to mine. PLEASE post pics with response have a nice day

 

92 base here, LO3/4L60

Dk Green/beige color combo with T-tops and the 15" crosslace wheels

Just finished a LS1/4L60E swap in here

 

Is it really considered a true "base" vehicle if it has the 5.0TBI instead of a V6? Just wondering.

 

Yes

Birds had multiple trim levels and to go above the base you had to get the Formula, TA, or GTA. A base is a base whether its LO3 with power everything and an optional leather upgrade or V6 non-AC with manual everything

Sort of like the 88 IROC that could be had with the LO3. You cant have a base IROC even though base model RS' could be had with the same option. The IROC would still be a full fledged IROC with the LO3 and the RS still a base with the LO3

Make sense?

 

lets see some pics man!!

 

i saw a guy with the exact same car your talking about, and i, personally would say that it is a base, unless it doesnt fit what the V8 bases can perform

looks great, and our cars look alot alike D

 

i have a 92 base v6 auto hardtop, different color though


i have a set of black crosslaces that i will be putting on in the spring.

 

I have a '92 base Bird 305 TBI 90% original down to the date coded hoses. Have had mine for 12 years and have never seen a twin of mine, including 4 years of Firebird only shows.

 

Don't take it too seriously there, bud. I think he's just poking fun at the term "base" when it obviously has at least one option (the v8 over the v6). Base != stripper model in this case.

 

ours are twins, except for the color differences..im pretty damn sure

 

Can't be a "twin" if it's a different color.....LOL That is what I am saying. I have seen green, blue, white, etc ones like mine, but never a red one with a 305 TBI, auto, gold 15X7's, t-tops, and tan interior. I actually did see one just like mine once, BUT it only had a V6, so not a "twin". See what I mean now?

 

yea i do, and i did a few posts back, but our cars do look alike so thats why i was kidding with the twin thing lol, but i really would like to know how many exact cars like mine are out there tho.

 

It may not tell you exactly, since not every car is in their database, but go to www.compnine.com and plug in your VIN, then scroll down past the RPO breakdown to the "rarity" section. They have a database of GM VINs indexed to RPO numbers, and can give you an idea of how many cars exactly like yours there were. Of course, it may give you a false sense of how rare your car is. My car is ostensibly the only one with its exact options (that they know of), but there are surely others almost, if not exactly, like it.

 

ok i did that, but i already figured that there are atleast 100 or so cars like mine, which ISNT TOOO BAD hah, but my car still is pretty different from other cars. so maybe it is one of a kind lol

 

I bought a 91 base for the parts and that is all that is left of it now.

 

damn! if the door and front fender werent screwed up, i would totally have to come get them lol. i need to get a parts car too

 

I stripped the entire car and the shell was scrapped. The complete wiring harness and the dash and some other parts will live on in my 86 ws6 T/a. The spare t-tops were nice too.

 

haha atleast the parts went to a good place

 

i got one, don't have the ground effects though.

 

the guy i bougth the car from said that he spent a couple hundred on each ground effect, so you might want to keep them off

 

I think they look better sans gfx, but non gfx cars are so rare

 

Mine was a base when I first got it, but it's far from that now.

 

im thinking about upgrading some stuff too

 

Mines not very stock anymore either

 

Mine looks just like your car, but without T-Tops and Ground effects.

V6 + T5 for me

 

Hey cool, your car is similar to how I plan the 86 to look when done.

 

I have a black, w/ tan interior. 1992 V8
