Well, the 92's did not come from the factory with the LT1 they had either the LB9 (305) or the L98 (350). I'm not trying to say that you don't have a 350, just not a LT1 350 from the factory. If someone swapped one in that would most likely decrease the cars value. A TRUE collectors car is a car with a rare (not many made) factory options package that is ORIGINAL. If you ever go to a car show and check out a 100 point car, I guarantee you that it is a numbers matching car (no engine, trans, etc swaps). Sorry to ruin your fun!

Type your VIN # into the VIN decoder on the tirdgen.org homepage and see what it tells you.

MY FATHER BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER, THE STICKER WHICH I STILL HAVE SAYS ITS A LT1 ENGINE PACKAGE. THE CAR WAS SPECIAL ORDERED FROM THE FACTORY THAT WAY.

 

scan it

 

I wouldn't mind seeing a pic of the "Dual Flowmasters" either. Third-gens only come with a single exhaust. Was a dual exhaust added later?

Matt

 

ITS A DUAL EXAUST THAT PIPES INTO A FLO MASTER AND IS BRANCHED OFF TO 1 PIPE FOR EXTRA HORSE,
IT DIDNT COME STOCK.

 

I come from Nassau. I'd love to see that car. 93 was the first F-body LT1. But 92 Vettes had LT1's.

Maybe a late year 92 ???

 

*cough*cough*Bull*****cough*cough

Wanna make a believer outta me, post some pics, and a copy of the build sheet.

 

I'd like to see some pics too.

 

What's this have to do about suspension? Maybe suspense while we wait for these LT1 pics

NICE RESPONCES, GIVE ME A FEW DAYS AND ILL HAVE PHOTOS TO PROVE IT, ALL I ASKED WAS HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK ITS WORTH, NOT TO BE TOLD IM FULL OF S#IT

 

Hey, I believe it is possible.The corvette came out in 92 with the LT1,but I doubt that
Chevrolet actually built it.It could of been a custom job that a dealer had done.There is only one 92 That I know of that GM built with the LT1 and a ZF 6 speed trans but it was never mass produced and they built it just because they could.It was a white RS and I believe it was built a few years after 92.Of course the car is now bright yellow with a ramjet in it.Are you positive your not mistaking the L98 for LT1.These guys aren't knocking you but combined we know probably damn near everything about the thirdgens and have yet to hear about this....

hey kermit. the white car you are talking about came with the L98 not the LT1. it came with headers and SLP runners. and a sixspeed. it was to imitate the FIREHAWK. it was not produced because GM was changing the body. the wanted the T56 for the 4th Gens.

Rare-roc, Actually in super chevy a few years back,GM had put together a LT1 ZF 6 speed car that was in the 12's it was a white RS w/no spoiler nd 4.10 gears.I'm at work right now but i'll try and find it tomorrow.It's the same car they painted yellow and through the ramjet into.I know the one your talking about,it's white with black stripes.I think Trax has a pic of it on his web page.

I can vouch for kermit on that one. The car was also in Hot Rod with the Ram Jet in it. It was a prototype, and was probably built just to make all the 3rd gen Camaro owners drool... Kind of like when GM skunkworks put a 6 speed in the Impala, then never put it into production...

Well aside the fact that no one has ever heard of this, if you have the proof, It doesnt matter how much it's worth, cause I wouldn't get rid of it. I have heard of a handfull of L98 with 5 speeds slipping out of the factory, but nothing like this. If possible send me some pics, I have the same car, same color, just 305 5speed. Id like to see it.

What you say is valid, but then it wouldn't be a factory built car like NY claims. There is a difference between factory built and dealer customized.

Like a few others said,someone else could have done the swap, I have seen it done, but never from the factory. If you truely do have this, keep it in a garage and buy another 3rd gen to drive, take the LT1 to shows on a trailer!

 

hmmmmmm,this brings up a good question,what would ss and firehawks be classified as,slp mods them but chevy sells them.So if this car is authentic and was bought from a dealer this way,would it be ranked up there with the these cars.....

------------------
92RS,POLO GREEN

 

SLP would be the same as ASC (famed for the 89 20th anniv Turbo T/A's and now the current Ram Airs I beleive I read). SLP and ASC are Tier 1 suppliers under contract for GM. While they certainly have the ability to do wild things, GM's contract limits them. Cars are shipped from GM to SLP, modified with SLP content, then shipped to dealers and sold with factory warrenties. The build is tracked in the GM system.

Some cars are modified by dealers or by dealers in conjuction with GM/SLP like Hendricks SS and sold under their label. These would be slightly different than the SLP production cars, even the 91-92 hawks that still had RPO' to order it.

And a John Moss/Mark McPhail Chevy Raceshop car like the white one modified with the LT1, then repainted yellow and RamJetted, would be a bit different yet. Documentation would be non existent from GM other than who actually modified it.

You're either full of **** or misinformed.

 

so where are the pics?

this could be a car that, like many people have already stated that a dealer special orders, or dealer sponsered. like the BERGER CAMARO SS, only 30 are gonna be produced. so u never know. if you are telling the truth(and i have no reason to doubt you are) i would buy a really nice car cover and keep it in yer garage.

got all that berger camaro ss info from the latest edition of CAMARO PERFORMERS magazine pg 60.

To get an LT1-1LE you would have to sleep with the GM president (or have his ***** in your face)

LT1-1LE doesn't make sense any other way. 1LEs are supposed to be showroom stock cars that were regularily produced.

Why don't you go find the Service Parts Identification sticker and post all the codes on here for us. It's located either in the middle console, or the rear locked compartment of the trunk.

Wow! Lot's of contrevorsy going on here! Concerning the GN Performance group car, I think we confusing 2 different cars. Yes there was an RS w/ no rear soiler & an LT1. There was also an RS w/ an L98, 6-speed, etc. It was one of 6 made, 5 were destroyed and the one left does car shows now. I saw it 1st had at Carlisle, PA last summer. As far as the 1LE issue, I've never heard of a 3rd gen f-body being factory equiped with a LT1 but that's not to say it isn't possible. A 1LE in original condition is definitely worth some $ but the mileage is getting up there on yours. There was one on e-bay, totally stock, garaged kept with 70K miles that went for about $9K. There's one on there now with 20K miles for $12,500. However, from an insurance stand point, it's just a stripped, no option Z so be careful if you wreck it, you may be out a lot of $. I have a '91 1LE but unfortunately the original engine & trans are long gone b/c the previous owner yanked 'em in the process of making the car into a bracket racer so the value of the car now depends on the mods despite the original 15K miles on the car itself. Don't know if this helps, if the build sheet does say LT1 I'd like to see it. Anything is possible & it wouldn't be the 1st time a one-of-a-kind accidently slipped into the GM production line.

Your right, what I shoulda said was:
It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. And that would depend on it's authenticity. Which I Doubt. And this is why.....
First you said you brought the car to the dealer where YOU bought it and they couldn't tell you anything about it, except it's Super rare and Collectable. How is it that THEY don't know anything about it but KNOW it's Rare and Collectable? And this same dealer KNOWS it has a 'modified chip' in it from a 92 'Vette? How do they know that.
And in your second post you say 'Your Dad bought the car new'. So, which is it, did you or your Dad buy it? And if the car was purchased/special ordered new, by someone in your family or by yourself, why don't they/you know the specifics about the car, like how Rare and Collectable it is and what chip it has in it?

I didn't mean to Flame you from the start, but I think your either B.S.'ing us or your misinformed about your/your Dads car.

But like I said before: "Wanna make a believer outta me, post some pics and a copy of the build sheet."

This whole post reeks of a combination of BS, misinformation, and self-gratification.

What is the plug wire routing in your car? You might be able to settle the engine's identity by reporting that detail.

Also, how do you know it's a 1LE? What other options does it have? Do you have the build sheet or the RPO sticker with it?

Hmmmmm his lack of response suggests that there is no pic, window sticker or in fact any actual car. Now there's a surprise.

But what the hell, prove me and thousands of others wrong by showing us it all.

Can I see the car personally?

Hey guys, I have seen this before, NO NOT THE CAR. It is a fake post. The guy(NYGR00VE) is a normal member. He has a regular screen name. I don't know what it is, but this guy is just sitting at home laughing at us eating him apart. If you checked his profile, you would understand what I mean. He set up the name the same day that he posted the first time and has not posted eversince.

Out,

could be true guys my friend own a 1997 camaro with a lt4 engine. i went with him to slp where he bought it and he bought it right there cause it was sittin in the slp shop. it is orange with white strips and it is fast

 

That is a COMPLETELY different case, since it is well documented that 100 97 Camaro SS's were fitted with the LT4 engine.

Well unfortunately we won't get to hear about a bogus camaro anymore I guess.

Doubt it. There was 1,000 Z28s in 97 equipped by SLP with the LT4 engine. Unfortunately, these 1,000 cars were ALL WHITE EXTERIOR W/ ORANGE STRIPS. SLP's showcar was this color scheme mentioned above, and I think SLP still has it in their shop.

 

Not 1000, but 100. But you are correct on the color scheme.

No response and no pics. I think he was BSing. Hey I have pics and documentation of an 88 GTA with a LS1 and a T56. and only 500 miles. How much is that worth. (in case you couldn't tell I was being sarcastic) I know the Ls1 wasn't used in fbodies til 98

 

 

Yep BS, I don't even think he has a real Z28. I bet he was just spitting some **** for compensation. I guess if it makes him feel better we should feel sorry for him.

maybe he felt lonely and wanted the email notification to soothe his emotional shortcomings.

where did u get that BS flag at, i like it.

 

lol..accually if i told you id be banned from the board :P

 

Geez... You guys are harsh. Whether he was being real or not. I have almost the same car. When it was bought I was told that it did infact have an LT1 in it. And I believed it until now. I looked up the VIN code and it does in fact have the L98. If the guy was real then geez... lighten up. Anyway...

What is the difference between an LT1 and the L98??

A lot of morons who sell those cars think the 350s are LT1s, or they know the truth and lie about it. Better change the signature...

 

Ok first of all... Duh! That is what I was saying... You notice I said "until now"?

I'll ask again. What is the difference between the L98 and the LT1? What is the physical difference? Not the what is the identification differences. Gawd!

the L98 is a Gen I small block chevrolet V8. Rear-mounted distributor, block then head cooling, the L98 is a Tuned Port Injection motor as well. Iron bock, Iron heads(some Vette L98's had aluminum heads.)

LT is a Gen II small block chevy. reverse flow cooling(heads then block), the distributor(optispark) is driven from a shaft off the FRONT of the engine..

if you start a new topic i'm sure you'll get a much better response, b/c I don't know ALL the specifics on the LT1.. I don't like them personally..

Im new to the site and dont know if you found your answers but I was reading info on wikipedia on 1992 camaro's because im trying to relieve my teenage dreams and buy one but any how I came across a section that spoke of the late or last of the 1992 camaro's and how they were fitted with lt1 engines from the tpi corvettes. This is directly from Wikipedia, Some TPI 1992 Camaros received some of the "leftovers" from its Corvette cousin, which switched from Tuned Port Injection to the new LT1 engine series in 1992. They received the rough texture, cast aluminum style, intake runners from the TPI Corvette instead of the regular Camaro smooth tube ones. In some cases they were built with black painted valve covers instead of the normal silver valve covers. Some also received a blank throttlebody plate, like the LT1, instead of the normal plate with "Tuned Port Injection" script. The change was purely cosmetic, performance remained identical to the previous year.

The RPO 1LE option combination, identical to the previous year in specification and option requirements, had its highest production year of the third generation Camaro, with 705 cars so equipped. As mentioned, the 1LE brakes were included with B4C in 1992, accounting for 589 of the 705 built. This means that only 116 "true" 1LE-only cars (A/C delete, non-Special Service Package) were built for the year.[8]. Very rare, enjoy what only can be a masterpiece of the third generation camaro.
