Anyone catch the Chevrolet Dealer auction yesterday? A couple of Third Gens, like new
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!

The 87 convertible, even though still new, was ridiculous for what it sold. Same with just about the rest.
kudos for the auction house, which knew how to get top dollar (and beyond...) for those vehicles

1950s cars, I think it takes a special person to care about them like the last generation. So who knows if this is part of a reset? Regarding the 1987 convertible, is it really a rally sport?
Re: Anyone catch the Chevrolet Dealer auction yesterday? A couple of Third Gens, like
The dealership called me a couple years ago to see if I was interested in buying the 87 convertible. I told him I wasn’t interested. I think they wanted $25,000 at that time.

I might be a member of the "last generation" (73) mentioned above. I got rid of my IROC several months back because I wanted a 50s car again (bought a 56 Bel Air), hated driving it after enjoying the handling and comfort of third generation Camaros , it is on it's way to Sweden and I am looking for another IROC.

There actually wasn't. The 1987 year had a plain base Camaro coupe with no ground effects. 1988 plain camaro coupe had ground effects, different rear spoiler, and simply said CAMARO on the ground effects and rear bumper. 1989 was the return of the RS name. It's a very common mistake for someone to refer to a base Camaro as an RS....because 1989 up, the RS was the base Camaro. Any time that you see a pre 89 Camaro advertised as an RS, there will be no RS badging on it anywhere....unless someone added it

WHOA! I stand corrected! I have never heard of this. A test for California? I wonder how many were even made?? Anyone have a pic of one? Sounds like a typical later RS, other than only offered in a V6, and it had the Z28 style steering wheel. Wish they would have kept with the Z steering wheel
That's what happens when you go outside of ThirdGen.org for ThirdGen info!

All I can add is that the RPO for the RS in 1987 and 1988 was Z5C. I have never found the numbers produced in 1987, but for 1988 there were 7,038 units built.

The article above said they planned for 2000 to be built for 87
I'm still dumbfounded that I've never seen or heard of them before lol. Gotta love this place!
