Always wanted a 3rd gen Camaro or Firebird. I'll just keep looking till I find the right car for me, preferably a 5 speed non T top car.

Funny that gm never even tried to put it behind the 5.7l but did put the zf on the 25 th anniversary 270hp car that was never built. |

it's more rare with those options... I love it I used to have an '87 TPI IROC if I had the money.... I will say that whoever made the comment about the weak five speeds in those cars is VERY correct... I had issues and so did my ex who had an 89...

The L98 was definitely available with factory t-tops from 1987 through 1989, and they weren't particularly rare either. Starting in 1990, t-tops were no longer a factory option with the 5.7. The Borg Warner T-5 had a reputation for having a very weak third gear. Even the "World Class" T-5s used in the later cars (I believe from 1988 up) weren't much better.

I have owned 12 third gen camaros and by the sounds of it I wouldn't give him 3k, there was no5 speed behind the 5.7 and I had an 87 5.7 t-top and an 88 5.7 t-top so not too sure on rarity of them lol. Seems to be if you want a third gen look around Idaho Utah area, picked up my 88 with 45k miles on it for 2000. Deals like that are all over around here!

Whenever I look at the '87-92 iroc/z28s I am always seeing cars without 4 wheel disc brakes or the 3.08 and not 3.45s. The later cars often have 15" wheels and drum brakes.
And they almost always have tops, which I don't want. I guess my special ordered '87 was rarer than I thought. |

I think it was more on the Trans Am side that it was harder to get the 5.7 with the T-tops IIRC. |
