I would daily that baby. The older i get the more i like this style. Lookin good Steve! 👍🏻
I have a 83 Z28, great cars, especially at nearly 400 lbs. lighter than the 2nd Gens, thrilled to see YOU do a review on one, and in such beautiful shape.
3rd and 4th gen Camaros are finally having their day in the sun. For the longest time they were right up there with the C4 Corvette as the backside of every joke because mullet-maned pilots would thrash them to a destructive end. 1988-1992 cars always seemed like the product of corporate purgatory. They lost the IROC deal to Dodge in 1990. As the 90s started the public was looking forward and the 80s angles didn't hit quite the same. I'd love to see an in depth on a 1LE although finding one to get intimate with is a tall order.
Camaros started going down hill after 69 and this model was really down hill. Nothing personal.
I have a 92 b4c 1le.
They were lower than a C4. Straight throwaway cars.
One of these introduced me to the term "chassis flex",
Thank you Steve
I had an 89 v6 5 speed with the 2.8 Liter V6, but it was MPFI, and that thing was fast with the stick. I got rid of the sticks when cell phone showed up, too hard to drive and talk, didnt have hands free yet. Same color as this one and I did drive it everywhere, as I was traveling engineer, New Orleans, Michigan, Pittsburgh, couldnt kill it.
Steve, awesome video review, truly informative, beautiful 1991 Camaro RS. I love it, love the review as ever, and will share. it.
Hey Steve-O, once again you're spot-on fella' ! That base 2.5 litre powerplant was an absolute DOG exacerbated by the weight of these Camaro models. These Chevrolet models quite literally could not get out of the their own way. To add insult to injury the gas mileage increase on this four cylinder option was definitely minimal. In closing, the cost savings and the exterior appearance package wasn't close to being good enough. Hope this helps homey ! 🚘🔍 ------- 👎
I had a blue 1991 Camaro Z28 with 305 (5 liter) Tuned Port Injection. This video takes me back in time!
State Farm had these as fleet vehicles in 1992. I was a claims adjuster in Texas. We got to take them home at night. RS, V6, with cassette and fastest 0-30 company car. Actually, 3.1 Lumina company car was faster but not as cool. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
I had a 1987 Camaro. It was just a V6 5 speed but it was fun to drive. Thanks Steve. Take care! 🙏🏼
Having spent plenty of time as a kid in the backseat of a 1977 Firebird, saying the backseat is "comfortable" is generous.
With my parents buying a 1980 Trans Am brand new (which I still have) and riding in the back seat as a kid, I second that. Let's just say that the rear seating room figures on the brochures/literature were "optimistic" at best.
THANKS STEVE
I've had two 4th gen WS6's, but a 3rd gen Z/28 is one of my top bucket list cars.
I had one of these in white. With the T-tops off, a whirlwind of dust and paper would form over the passenger seat. The soft-latching mechanism on the rear hatch would randomly release and the hatch would open while driving. Hitting a bump or driving faster would cause it to re-latch.
In '91 I had an '85 Bandit II Edition Trans Am & the chic I was bangin at the time had a red '89 Ttop RS 5.0 5sp & her best friend had one in teal! I like that one in all black especially with the blacked out windows! I had double limo on my black/gold T/A but at that time it was still legal to go that dark here in Georgia ✌💖☮
Oh, I remember those so very well!!~ Great content Steve!!~ One day, I will be financially able to buy me a classic!!~ Keep on healing Steve, you look great my brother!!!~
Cool choice for today's vehicle.I had special ordered a G92/1LE in 1991 in blue with grey int. Only nice option to be had was leather interior. Yes, it was faster than any Mustang I went against - except one with aftermarket mods. I now have a 298k. Mi. '91 305 RS convertible with added G92 axle, Hochkis susp. and 383 getting built. Replacing the TBI with MSD Atomic, following your inst. videos of course Steve!
I remember my friend from work had an 89 rs. With the 2.8L multiport fuel infected! And that was in 1992! Nice car but too small of an engine for that body! Now that one with the manual and v8, is something special! Very nice kept example.👌😎👍
It looks a lot like my auto mechanic teacher's car from when I was in high school. I used to stare at that thing every day LOL it was a black 91 just like that with a manual transmission no t-tops. Perfect. That was back in 1994.
Test drove one just like this back in the day and loved it. Just was a little too much for my budget at the time.
We have to get you back in the yards😊
I enjoyed the "spirited" test drive!👍
There was an RS , 1LE package. TPI305, 5spd, 4WDiscs.
Back then even 175hp was fun
Good job Steve,as always. And that is a true survivor, and deserves a good home.
l couriered in a 3.8v6 91' RS for several years 250-350 miles per day. lt was great for that and super reliable. l put 300+K miles on it when l sold it.
3.8L was available until the 4th gen Camaro
3.1L V6 for a 1991 Camaro, as noted the 3.8L wasn't available until the 1995 model year in the 4th generation.
Perfect candidate for a LS and 6 swap 😊
YIkes, I hope not. It's a good survivor as is.
@@googleusergp Its a 91 Camaro , with a whole 185 hp 🥴
@@louislepage5111 More like 170 HP, but that's not the point. It survived 30+ years without some knucklehead ruining it. It's not it's a cobbled together hooptie rot box that's missing the original engine and transmission. It's in one piece and in reasonably nice shape.
WOW! This is almost my car. The grill is different but same exterior color, but mine has the gray "deluxe" interior rather than the "sport" interior, and mine is an automatic transmission. 240k miles 😂
170 horsepower from a small block V8?!! Geez, my 1.5 liter Equinox has 175!!! Wow!!!
Thanks Steve
Blech Steve, show us the C2 vette in the other bay.
I am a 3rd gen fbody enthusiast. At least your tbi 305 had a 5speed. These throttle body injected 305s were lucky to make 135-155 wheel hp on a dynojet. They were just turds.
Steve! You're looking better every time I see you! Stay healthy my friend!
2nd gen F-Body cars are my favorite. But I wouldn't turn down a good 3rd gen. But if I was going to search for a 3rd gen to buy. I think I would want a 1988 IROC-Z.
I bought a 92 Z28 used with 5K miles. 5.7 auto every option except T tops. I bought for the so purposes of a Autocross car. Great everyday street car though. I pulled 1.15 Gs on BFG R1 autocross tires and ran a best of 13.84 @ 99mph in the quarter mile. All stock except Koni shocks and a Flowmaster cat back exhaust. I miss that car
I always thought the RS was a good deal. I sold Fords in 1989, and the Mustang had nothing to compete with the RS. That year, with Ford, you either had a V8 GT or a four-banger base model, not even a V6. The RS gave the buyer a V8 at a very cheap price.
Hold on... you are talking to Car people...get your facts straight...a LX with the 302 was a great car... you just don't know what your talking about!
Not correct. You could get the 5.0L Mustang LX as stated and it was a "gentleman's hotrod". You got a lot of the of GT features at a bargain price. Same with the Firebird Formula.
Less is more. That is a fun car I would put the ball back on. I had that same engine in my Caprice the TBI worked really good and was efficient. Especially in the cold weather.
Seemed to scoot pretty good for only 170 hp. Not my favorite body style, but they handled well.
This one's in such good original condition that I would have to leave it alone. Maybe upgrade the cam and a few other things that aren't visible. But definitely no major modifications
Nice Camaro!
Only went 120mph….t tops were awesome ! Friend told me a while ago.
B4c rs camaros did get tuned ports and dual piston calipers.
Sooo good to see you Steve ,you’re looking so much better..
Nice car Steve! 👍🏼👍🏼
Dan wear your seat belt
One of GMs nicest bodystyles.
You gotta be kidding.😂😂😂😂
ugly as hell
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. Professor Steve is in the class 🍎🎓📓📝📏. Very interesting & informative ! 👀😎👍🇺🇸
Mr B!!!!🐝
Perfect for a nice clean factory looking LS swap.
Yikes, please don't "LS swap the world". I'd leave this as-is. It survived being a "throw away" and deserves to live as it was born.
what's that noise when he makes a turn 12:45
🖖
Yes, 1991 model year with the VIN for the win: 1G1 for US made Chevrolet, FP for Camaro, 2 for two door coupe, 3 for manual seat belts and driver's air bag, E for 5.0L (305 CID) V8 with TBI, aka RPO code "L03", aka "Slow and Steady", 9 is a check digit, M for the 1991 model year, L for Van Nuys, CA assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Van Nuys, CA plant closed in 1992 and was one of the "Terrible Three" of the GM system with poor quality. All F body cars after August 1987 through the end of the 1992 model year were assembled at Van Nuys. After that from 1993 to 2002, they were assembled at St. Therese, Quebec Canada.
We got the SPID, glad you did: 1FP87 for Chevrolet (1) Camaro (FP) sport coupe (87), AJ3 for driver's supplemental restraint (air bag), AR9 for reclining front bucket seats, B34 and B35 for front and rear floor mats, carpeted, B84 for bodyside molding ornamentation, CC1 for removable hatch roof panels, C49 for rear window defogger, C60 for air conditioning, D35 for outside sport mirrors, remote control and painted, D80 for rear spoiler, F41 for firm ride suspension, GU4 for 3.08:1 rear axle ratio, J41 for power brakes, front disc and rear drum, cast iron, K60 for 100 amp alternator, L03 for 5.0L (305 CID) V8 with TBI, MM5 for five speed manual transmission merchandising option, M39 for Borg-Warner five speed manual transmission, NA5 for Federal emissions, NK3 for simulated leather steering wheel, N96 for 16x8 cast aluminum wheels, QMT for P235/55R16 black wall tires, UB3 for oil, temperature, volts, tachometer and trip odometer cluster, UN6 for AM-FM stereo radio with cassette and ETR, UQ1 for stereo radio provisions, U79 for four speaker system, VAN for Van Nuys, CA assembly, VK3 for front license plate bracket, V73 for US/Canada vehicle statement, Y86 for Camaro "RS" merchandising package, 17P for Silver wheels, 19B for Black cloth interior trim, 19I for Black interior trim, 19Q for Black moldings, 199 for Black seat belts, 41U for Black exterior paint, among other codes.
Not correct. Not every 3rd generation (and no 2nd generation) F body cars have SPID labels, only those from 1984 and up. Trucks started earlier with SPIDs, but GM passenger cars started in 1984. Prior to that a build sheet (or other OEM literature) is needed to determine all installed options. Correct, the 2.5L four-cylinder engine was available from 1982-1986 in the "F" body cars.
Aw man, I was hoping it was a 2.great V6.....😎....not. My cousin's ex-wife had a Firechicken with the 2.hate. What a rattily pile it was but red, tan interior and t-tops made it turn heads. When she was on the prowl, she had no shortage of suitors and certainly couldn't outrun them.
@@LongIslandMopars My ex-gf had a 1986 Camaro 2.8L V6 and a 1995 (as I recall) Mustang GT with an automatic prior to me meeting her. When I met her, she had a ratty 2002 Altima. I haven't spoken to her in over ten years, so I can't tell you what she drives now. LOL. All three were likely pieces of junk as she didn't take care of her cars at all. But, I digress.
Yes, a 2.8L V6 Firebird of the 1980s was a typical female car. It was "sporty" enough for a woman to drive and not have the penalty for fuel or insurance. I knew a few women that had performance cars. Those are the keepers. LOL.
@@googleusergp you're the best buddy 🤣
@@LongIslandMopars I actually had a 1986 Camaro Sport Coupe with the 2.8L V6 for about a week. It was given to me. I parted it out and junked it (It was hit before I got it---three times). When that yard closed up, all the cars were removed, except that one. It rotted on the property for years until it was finally removed. LOL.
@@googleusergp I've only seen an Iron Duke Camaro once. It had the body color painted steel rims and hubcaps. Orange paint job, tan interior, and a 4 speed manual. I think it was an 82. It was so pure but my god, what a grubby car it must have been. Someone loved it, though.
Lived and owned these cars and the 5.0 Mustang I can tell you was a much much better built car .... In fact the irocs were just junk as far as build quality
Test driver not wearing a seat belt....not good!
Thank you, Karen
@@guymann4016Sure, to each their own, but he's relying on the earliest airbag!
Mr. B. Here ! 🍩☕️👀😎👍. The joy of being a drive having the freedom, I have 1958 & 1964 Oldsmobiles no seat belts, also am 72 the Boomers grew up with out many of the stuff many feel they need ( wrong ) when drivers are shown not to think behind the wheel makes for people who should not be behind the wheel ! And they are out there ! ☕️👀😎👍🇺🇸
@@debbiebermudez5890 Know about that, in HS girlfriend rolled Dad's early Bronco off the freeway, luckily he had installed seatbelts and roll bar, or I wouldn't be telling ya about it. 🤘
@@guymann4016 If he wants to go for the Darwin award, that's his prerogative, but driving a company vehicle (he might be one of the owners), he should set a good example by wearing a seat belt. Plus, he will likely have better control while belted in to avoid a collision with someone else who DOES wear their seat belt.
These cars looked great fun to drive low to the ground needed nothing visual that factory didn't already give it. Sadly they didn't hold up great , rusted bad in the Midwest the transmissions weak and the engines didn't hold up great for long. Many of my friends had these while I went with the fox body. I still have my fox that runs amazing don't know anyone anymore that still has one and it's rare to see one out and if u do there very rough.
