@@hachiroku8677 I like something similar with more blue less green, but same range. Bahama blue metallic. A GM color on my Ford Probe GT. It was similar to Bimini blue for 93 in Ford's colors. Then they have I think it's Calypso green on Rangers and a bunch of cars.
This color was big in the early 90"s. A friend of mine had a late 80's or early 90's corvette and painted it this teal green color. I like the Z28 tail lights on this car , always did. The RS came with a different style tail light. It had a solid black stripe in the center and the color portion of the lights were solid , not cubed. They started using the cubed style tail lights in 1985 on the Z28. I had a 1984 Z28 with the High Output motor and 5 speed manual. I wanted to change out my tail lights to the cubed style , but sold the car before doing so.
The front ends on these are timeless. I remember when my sister bought one new in 1991. It only had a V6 but was still a cool ride. Hers was more of a true blue.
I can almost like that era Camaro hearing you describe it, but unfortunately I knew too many camaro owners back in the day so it's forever tarnished. That color does look great on it though, and I don't like teal normally.
i used to have a 1987 camaro convertible when I was 18 years old. I got it for 6.5k in 1995 money.. I think they only made 2000 in 1987 and they were coach built. But a cool thing you can do is fold down the back seats and sit on top. Great for driving in a parade carrying the festival queen or country cruising. Prob not safe - so do that at your own risk
I’ve loved third gen Camaros, my good buddy in high school had a 1986 Z-28 with the 305 and TPI and I loved that thing. I’ve gotta say, the old school 4 spoke GM steering wheel it had looked so much sharper than that bread loaf airbag wheel that doesn’t match the lines of the interior at all. That said, this 92 RS Convertible is gorgeous.
I love how the owner even though he lives in Illinois has a license plate frame from a dealership in LA (shout out to Felix Chevrolet in Los Angeles, CA near USC)
I’ve see several comments about a carburetor. The last year for a carburetor from the factory was 1987 on the 5.0 HO. Everything after that was TBI or TPI. Yes a carburetor is a carburetor and Throttle body injection is fuel injection. Don’t let some bozo tell you otherwise.
Man i still remember driving that black 89 camaro wen i use to wor for my moms ex boyfreind he did emissions badas car had the 5.0 as well simple motor to get u here and there
Such a clean example but that aftermarket headunit really detracts from it Really don't understand why people feel the need to swap something like that in
Wish they would’ve brought back the Camaro emblem for the newer gen cars. Gives it so much character. Spent so much time as a kid looking at my older brother’s wanting my own someday
I had a 89 RS Convertible with the same 5.0 V8 automatic transmission. Overdrive transmissions were a big fancy new thing in the 80s and early 90s. Same with fuel injection. Hence sports cars and luxury sedans had goofy badges telling you how futuristic they were over the boring carburetor dinosaurus on the road.
I have no idea what I'm about to get into. My dad no longer wants his so he gave me his RS project car. Its a manual and needs some work. Just perfect timing lol
No hate on the Camaro, but I loathe convertibles, no matter what brand or model. If this were a hard top car instead, I would love it. That color with those wheels and the TBI V8 would be great. I always preferred the throttle body fuel injection system over the tuned port injection system. I feel that it was just an easier system to deal with. Granted, I worked on a lot of Chevy pickup trucks back in those days that had that system so I'm very well versed with the throttle body injection system. I probably would swap in the truck 350 with throttle body injection, which produced almost as much horsepower as the tuned port injection 350 with more low RPM torque and much less complexity. Then, it would be a bit of a sleeper. I would like this car even more if it had a 5-speed. I also always preferred the RS version of the car over the Z28 in those years as far as looks are concerned.
My father would order cars for smaller Chevrolet dealerships from the ‘60’s to the ‘90’s. The more base Camaros were extremely popular with middle aged women. They sold huge numbers to Linda from HR, so the options and colors reflected that market. The base V8, or V6, and an automatic was what she wanted for lower payments and insurance.
What an incredible leap in design, this unit is beautiful but its lines scream 85 more than 92. The next year's is a completely different car, in just one year, it jumped about 10 years in terms of design. The catfish is strange and It doesn't look like a Camaro, but I think it's beautiful and this '92 RS is something curious, like a somewhat old-fashioned rockstar but that still dazzles, although due to his crazy pace of life, the guy believes the 80's aren't over yet.
3:49 - This section screams everything wrong with GM cars of the era (every one of them and well into the 2000s): "WE'RE GENERAL MOTORS AND WE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT MAKING NICE INTERIORS."
Not a bad-looking car, especially in that color. Camaros are cheap fun. What's up with the windshield though, it looks really dark. Maybe it's because the rest of the car is open to the Sun that the glass looks so dark. That airbag wheel doesn't really mesh with the early 80s rectangularness of the interior.
This is odd... a 1992 should have a TPI (Tuned port injection) engine while this one shows it has a carburettor. I love the 3rd Gen Camaro. My brother had one when I was young and I did drive it a bunch. It was a 1987 IrocZ, 5.0 TPI with the 5 Speed. The 91 and 92 RS have a much nicer dash and gauges. The 5 Speed Manual doesn't feel lazy at all. Feels like it has a bit of brutality to it. Power wise I am pretty sure the 5.0 tpi has around 205HP and more respectable TQ figures while the 5.7 has like 30HP more and more tq. Both can gain a lot out of simple mods like intake and exhaust. One of my goals is to eventually find myself a 1987-92 Camaro with a 5.0TPI, T-Top and 5Speed.

That doesn't seem like the correct engine for that car. My friends and i owned all sorts of camaros in the late 80s and every V8 i saw was already fuel or throttle body injected. Find it hard to believe they went back to a carburated engine in the 90s
@@killathadontv9603 Ok I did some research, there was no carbureted 305 engines available for the Camaro in 1992. This was the Throttle Body engine (LO3) which still used an air cleaner which was what was throwing me off. A very primitive version of fuel injection but fuel injected nonetheless.

Convertibles and Cool colors from the factory.

The carburettor is proof that the engine is probably not from the 90's. Most cars from this era had fuel injected engines.
Throttle Body Injection was a thing back then. Looks like a carb, but it had an injector by each venturi. This one would have a "two barrel" design.
I think the RS only had the V6 maybe?
