10th 92 bird off the line... that's pretty cool

 

 

According to our friends at GTASourcepage.com there was 226 1992 GTAs (not including export which adds another 48). 144 of the 226 had the L98. The L98 was the standard engine in the GTA.

If the car was nearly parts car status, as you appear to suggest, I'd think that has more input on the subject than being the 10th or 1 of 274.

 

Sounds like a pretty rare bird...hope it can be saved.

 

Pics of the whole car?

 

 

 

 

 

Was that on FB? I know I saw it someplace

 

 

You said you saved it from being a parts car. That made a suggestion as to the condition of the car.

It's not that bad. But it is missing some correct parts such as hood and tail lamps.

 

 

Good save. Retro looking taillights.

 

So is it the 10th or the 1st? Anyone know. Also see that only 22 gtas in 92 had the black cloth interior. Im wondering how many are like this one.

 

Also build date of 8-5-1991-compnine

 

Do you have any clue if that car was ever in Chicago? If so it looks similar to one I used to see on a regular basis back in 1992. A busty blonde drove it.

 

In for pictures of "busty blonde"..

 

LOL...this was way before smartphones.

 

It would be the 10th, The First 1992 is a Yellow 1LE that was owned by GM for some time, and is now in the private collection of Bruce Hawkins of Hawksthirdgenparts.com

On the radiator support there is another stamped number that will give the Body number off the line, this would include Camaros and Firebirds...

There was 4 Red 81U GTA's with 19I Black Cloth interior.

Cool FInd, I live only 30 min south of Saginaw...

Of the (approximately) 354 units of 1992 GTAs, there were approximately 305 units with RPOs J65 (4-wheel disc), KC4 (engine oil cooler), and N10 (dual catalytic converter exhaust).

You have one of approximately 288 units of 1992 GTAs with RPO JG1 Aluminum Prop Shaft.

My 200 page, 3rd Gen Firebird reference book will be available on Amazon by the end of the month, hopefully!

 

 

 

 

I literally live just 3.5 miles south of Birch Run...

 

cool so your not far from me at all.

 

I drive thru Montrose sometimes when I take my cars out to exercise... Usually I go thru Birch Run tho... The BR route is almost exactly 20 mile loop. I like smooth roads...

 

yeah hard to find smooth roads in this state lol.

 

 

That is your Body sequence as the car went down the production line. Exactly what I was looking for. What it tells you is that car is the 24th car down the line for the 1992 Model Year. Being that you have VIN 200010 that means your car was the 10th Firebird, but the 24th car.

Thank you, very cool. Do not see many cars under 1000...

 

When is the cutoff from one year to the next? The reason I ask, is my car is a model year '91 but was built on the 2nd of March, 1990. The VIN sequence is 201230, yet the body tag on my car is #4764. Did they really make over three and a half thousand Camaros in that time?

 

My '92 T/A that was built in September 1991 has the data plate number of 01 3546.

 

thats awesome! thanks for the info man!

 

Normal production was around August to August, the exact date did vary from year to year...
1990 Production went thru Dec 31, 1989.
For the 1991 Model Year 13 Firebirds were made in on Oct 30, 1989, and full 1991 Production started on Feb 14, 1990
The VIN sequence 201230 means that your car was the 1,230th 1991 Firebird. and the Body tag #4764 means that it was the 4764th car to come down the line.
In 1991. There was 50237 Firebirds and 100838 Camaros for 1991 MY. So yes, there would be about twice as many on average during that time.
