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!
This 1992 Chevrolet Camaro is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and was ordered with both the B4C special service package option, and the 1LE showroom stock performance package. On 1992 models, this combination of options afforded buyers an aluminum driveshaft, baffled fuel tank, unique shock absorbers, stiffer suspension bushings, and a plain front fascia without fog lamps.
Except it wasn't ordered with 1LE. It carries the 1LE code to identify the front brakes. It doesn't have JG1 on the SPID, so no aluminum shaft from the factory. The baffled fuel tank was standard on all MPFI thirdgens by 92. The shocks, bushings, springs, etc are all typical FE2 parts on the B4C. It didn't have fog lights because it's an RS.
It's also got the wrong hood, with the wrong louvers for the year, a cornball aftermarket shift ****, and a clash-tastic aftermarket CD player. I'm not sure I'd expect too much attention to detail when it's got the wrong seat belt guides, and what looks like an early 80's Cavalier steering wheel in some pics. Things like the runner bolts in the wrong location, just don't inspire confidence.
I'm sorry but on a thumbs up/thumbs down scale, I'd have to give this car - The Finger. It looks pretty good at a glance, but someone is probably going to end up getting screwed on the deal.

I looked at the pictures posted on BAT and there are a lot more little details wrong with the car. These little things are easily changed back and wouldn't bother me too much if the price was right. Only worry is how accurate is the mileage report on Carfax?
The seller really did his damnedest to alienate the audience. He comes across as a typical head-up-his-*** seller trying to claim things are stock, and that you could get anything from GM if you knew the secret handshake. It'd likely have done better if he'd admitted someone changed a few little things, and left it at that. Probably still wouldn't have met the reserve since the seller thinks it's some COPO "unicorn". Expecting a ridiculous price comes bundled with the seller's cranial rectal inversion disorder.
With all the little unoriginal details and questionable mileage I think $9750 was a fair price on that car. I have seen original low mileage cars with desirable equipment and the asking prices were 12-15k. I wonder what the reserve was?
This one was more surprising. 91 Z28 convertible with 22k miles, a few small flaws but correct from the brief glance I took at the photos. Ended just over $10k. Would have expected it to go a good bit higher, but I suppose it ended at the wrong time of day, on the wrong day of the week, and BAT is looking like the wrong place to try to sell a collectable thirdgen.
