I like the spoiler, but what elses is different from a base model v6?

Had to add this a V6 IROC??? WTF

typo. But if they insist, tell them youl'll trade them for aneither 77-78 z-28. they didn't make them one of those years, which is why the T/A has those anniversery cars & the Z don't.

Well lets see the Z-27 thing is just made up. Someone stuck that on there and the seller knows no different. There was no such thing as a Z/27. There is a Cav z/24 Bereeta Z/26 Camaro Z/28 and a Lumina Z/34 until the MOte replaced it then there was a MOnte Z/34

No for the Iroc with a 2.8 um Nope. I can look at it and its got the base model wheels, Irocs had different ones. The nose clip does not have fog lites which is standard on the Irocs, The spoiler is wrong. That is enough to tell you its not even if they try to tell you that there ever was an Iroc with a 2.8 made LOL.

89 Trans Am Turbo 3.8L All stock 43,000 miles #1053 of 1555

Past Thirdgen:
86 Trans Am w/ built 355TPI with SLP goodies and too much other stuff to List. One sweet *** car, wish I would have had a good enough Job to pay insurance on three cars so I could keep it, but for a 89 Turbo Trans Am w/ Low miles, I think I made the right choice!

Accually there is supposed to be a z-27 and z-29 camaro. Something to do with advertising their suspension RPO's.

There's also a Camaro Fs1 4-banger being parted out. From what I know of that is supposed to be some early form of the WS6 package. A friend of a friends friend told him that, so you know, you knows?

Canada gets some wierd F-bodies, that COULD be an IROC but I doubt it. Like my '83 with no ECM, strange stuff.

I have even seen Trans Ams (82-84ish)with 2.8L V6's here. I checked the vin on one, it matched. Thats a fact they were made like that. Anyone in the USA seen that? Special order thing I bet, but WHY? who would really want a v6 T/A that bad (except TTA of course)

Will the owner of the Z-27 give the VIN number so you can check it out. that would resolve the issue of wheter or not that it is a real Z-27.


"Will the real Z-27 please stand up?"

Try F41 for the suspension RPO. As for Z27 and Z29 being suspension RPO's....here are the only ones I know:

FE1 : SUSPENSION SYSTEM, S0FT RIDE
FE2 : SUSPENSION SYSTEM, RIDE HANDLING
FE3 : SUSPENSION SYSTEM, SPORT
F41 : SUSPENSION SYSTEM, FRT, RR, FIRM RIDE, HANDLING
WS6 : PERFORMANCE PACKAGE, SPECIAL

There might be a couple more....

Well "back in the day", the 1st gen "factory hot rod" (as opposed to normal) Camaro got it's name because "Z28" was the next available RPO. Cool, eh?
