85 camaro z-26
 

hi. just bought a 85 z-26 camaro. it has a 2.8 multi port possibly blown. said he ran over a ladder and punched a hole in the pan. uh uh. didn't cost much. need to know more about the car. and parts availability. thanks........joe

No such thing as a z26 ;)

I don't think the z28 ever came with the 2.8, either....

What parts in particular are you looking for?

Yeah, What exactly are your questions?

I think the comero spelling is quite humorous ;)

Re: z26
 

The only Z26's Chevy made were the Nova Rally (started in 1977) and the Beretta. Z26 was not an option for the Camaro. Someone must have added those graphics to the car.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

wasnt the z26 a rare camaro..only like 31 were made..i think

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

I think I remember seeing a few posts on here about it being a dealer installed option. Im doing some more searching.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

I think I recall that too, if he could post some pics I could verify that cause I have a rough idea what it looked like, it had a kind of goofy spoiler and door bumpguards.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

That or someone slapped on some z26 badges. Or since I don't know the OP at all....maybe its not a camaro...no offense,lol. But I've seen my fair share of people that don't know what a camaro looks like.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

can u post sum pics?...

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

first check your vin, if that says original v6 car then it may have just been a dealear optioned car made to look like a z28, and they got creative with the name

Re: z26
 

That's correct; Z26 has only been an RPO in 2 vehicle applications, never a Camaro, although you will see people making "Z26" Camaros by retooling Z28 badges on the 4thgens and stuff like that. Total fakes, not real.

Re: z26
 

isnt there a post on here about it being a canadian option? or something along those lines

Re: z26
 

You're probably thinking about the "Z28E". As for a Z26 Camaro, nope.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

^And the Z27.

But 6 years later, I don't think the OP cares.....

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

ha how do you know...when he checks his email he might be like holly crap batman someone replied again ;)

we never really leave the 3rd gen road..just take long breaks(i was gone for 4 lol)

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

Yeah, probably on here under a different name. I am. I was here in '00 or '01, but the place wasn't too friendly to a v6. I left, but came back when fbody.com started charging to use the forum. It was a different online world then....

Hah, I just checked, and the pos running fbody.com is running for congress. Great.... :rolleyes:

Re: 85 camaro z-26

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

Blue - you listed the Factory Z series options.

The Z26 option on a Camaro in Canada is a Dealer option (think Yenko Camaro, without the engine and desirability). There is no RPO code for it, it's just a dealer messing with the car.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

Late model monte carlos also can have the z34 designation.

Re: 85 camaro z-26
 

true, and yea wasnt considering the dealers options

i had a base model 88 s10, 2.5L 5 speed no power anything manual steering and brakes, and 2wd

dealership nicened it all up with a good metalic hunter green paint job and a stripe kit and called it an SFX s10 cuz it said it on the side of the bed lol
