Well, no denying the VIN number, but I am just saying. Maybe in 85 they came with either? I have seen a ton of 85's with that grill.

 

You are right that is the 85 Z28 grill, Mines a 85 zed and it has that grill and is a true Z28 BUT, that RS is a 91 there 6 years between these cars, My friend RallySport, has a 92 RS with the same 15" wheels my Z28 has WHY?? because those where the RS wheels in 92 even though they were the Z28 wheels in 85, His also has the same grill as mine.

So ALOT can change in 6 years. The old Z28 stuff became the RS stuff in 90 I think?

But the E-bay car is a RS for sure, I knew just by looking at the grill.

 

Hey Chris, outta curiosity, which vin number on the vin tells you if it's a z28 or not?

 

I`m not sure if the vin dose????

But you can check the body tag by the rad and if it`s a Z28 it`ll say Z28, also if you look in the consel in the rpo codes it`ll say Z28. Mine says Z28 in both places there for it`s a Z28

 

What's rpo codes? My car no longer has this badge by the radiator. It was lost during it's repainting skit. I found a thing on the internet saying the 5th digit, which is a "P" on my vin means its a sport coupe z28. "S" would have been a Berlinetta. So what was the RS? Or did the RS not exist in 85?



P.S. Sorry to hijack your thread.

 

When I bought my 91 z conv. It had a rs grill on it but when I took it off it had the fog lights and stuff, but that car is an rs with z28 badging. I wonder if he is a dealer or what.

 

My thoughts on this matter. First one has to realize that there were many different options during those last two years (91-92)
But I do think that this person is pulling a fast one on you & or your friend.

Vin: 1G1FP33E9ML163029

P=Camaro (all models)
3=Vert
E=L03 305 (V8)
M=1991
L=Van Nuys Ca

So it is a 1991 * that is a RS grill for that year.

" You are bidding on a super clean super rare Camaro Z-28 Convertible with brand new convertible top, paint job, interior etc. Only 3,620 of these were made, it is already considered a collectors car. " Um I do not think so, but maybe wrong.

We really need to get a copy of the RPO codes (Either located in the center concole or rear left storage capartment) to find out exactly what this car is v/s what they are trying to sell it as. I have sent the seller a message in reguards of wanting the RPO list for this car. If he really wants to sale it he should produce them for me.

 

Cool deal let us know if he gets back to you!

 

Some of the earlier Z28 stuff like grills, wheels and so forth on cars like the '85 became standard on the RS in later years.

 

pity to the high bidder

 

what was the first year for RS's?


Maybe the original fog light grill got screwed up so they put on that one? It probably is a fake though. Maybe get the vin and call up a gm shop and see if they can tell ya what in the hell it really is.

 

Im pretty sure the first year for the RS's were 1987.

 

Hmmm...take a look at this special option package. Bet you guys didn't know of this one. http://www.geocities.com/david_somers/pages/dark.htm

 

what special option package

 

The "poor mans Kit" package. See the Knight Rider light bar under the non R/S grill?
