'83 police package camaro?
Hey guys, I got a friend who claims he has an '83 police package camaro. I thought they only made third gen police package camaros in 91 and 92. He has also told me that he has turned the car around from catching 2nd gear in the middle of a two land road, so I am assumming he is full of BS.
I know the car is a Z28 '83 with a carb 305. It doesn't have disc brakes in the rear and the tranny is a 700R4.

I knew he was full of BS, just wanted to run it buy you guys, to make sure, b4 I stick him to it. Why do younger guys lie so much to other guys anyway? I could almost see it if I were a hot chick and he wanted to get into my pants... that might not sound right

You are correct about the B4C package not coming out till late in the 3rd Gen run.......to compete with the 5.0 Mustang LX packages. IIRC, the B4C started in either the late 80's (88 or 89) or 1991........I am pretty sure it was 91 though. I tried looking it up and couldn't find any info specifically but I also haven't seen any posts/websites/etc talking about B4C Camaros prior to 1991. If anyone has a link to different info, I would be most appreciative.

Re: '83 police package camaro?
First off, there were no B4C "police packages" available in 83. Was only available in 91 and 92.
Second, there were no 6 speed camaros until 93.
Third, thirdgen 350's never came with a manual, automatics were the only transmissions used on L98. The manual was too weak to support the torque and would break.
Fourth, another feature of the B4C package was the overdrive being locked into a fourth gear, instead of being used only for overdrive.
