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!
According to the 1986 Pontiac product book, the roof console was standard on the S/E along with the sub-woofer controls. But in the radio section, just like the window sticker shows, it states the AM radio was standard. And you could only get the sub-woofer controls with the optional stereo radios which were optional on the S/E.
She's a real beaut, Clark. Right up until that crapwagon 6'er. All the little details that make it unique, are awesome... But man, that 2.8 is a total deal breaker. Needs an LS1 swap.
That is a really good looking car with the GTA lookin' hood . Did anyone notice that they also came with the smooth locking gas lid without the thumb hole that other third gens have?

S/E hood, actually... No extractor vents at the back.
The S/E was kind of a fully loaded base model, the locking gas door, T/A style tail lights with S/E specific center section, overhead console, leather appointments package, decals and emblems, etc were all basic upgrades for the option package.
Neat cars, but when there were Formulas, and GTAs coming next year, you can understand why the model was culled from the herd.

Your right about those extractor vents on each side at the back of the hood. I had to go to my garage and take a look. I had forgot about those vents being on my GTA Notchback's hood.
I have found 2 of those SE models over the years in the wrecking yard and got the smooth locking gas door and overhead consoles off of both. I plan to put one on a Camaros someday.
Gorgeous survivor. Missing a couple of options to make it perfect (if I had ordered it new in 1986): rear locking cover, power windows and mirrors, V8, and I think you could get these with the electronic cluster but don't quote me.
I have a S/E brake light center on my car. I have a OEM one, and I made one. Really easy to make just gotta kill a 82-84 center to do it. Really wish I could get ahold of a S/E hood. One of the few parts I have never owned.
Cool find !! Pretty rare to find a CLEAN survivor S/E these days !!! Most early year "Base" cars have been crushed/trashed by now since they were not a trans am or Formula
No it doesn’t. Someone took care of and babied that car for 31 years. Not every one of these cars needs to LSx swapped. They’re only original once. 2.8 or not, that’s a beautiful, well preserved car
