sorry a bout the huge pice .and i found out the parts car was a 87 mines a 88
looks like a good start.
So because the parts car was an 87 you didnt get it?!?!
Congrats on the buy, 87-88 are basically the same.
no the parts car washiznit bad in front and i only need the doors and some little stuff also took the trans, the 88 some one tried to break in to it so the passkey and handle arnt there so im going to use the 87 door. and i love your split bumper its my fav camaro i just cant aford one
+1 on the congrats.
Also, I'd like to know any differences between an 87 and an 88.
Nope not hardly... All body panels are identical....
The '87 uses a Ford alt while the '88 uses a Hitachi alt... The 5 speed computers are different, on the factory setup, the '87 only has full boost in 1st & 2nd... The trim pieces on the inside door handle pulls are different, 88's have some plastic chromed trim, the '87 are all interior color... EATC control buttons are labeled slightly differently, but that's all '87 to '88 models... The engine identifier code in the VIN, switched from "W" in '87 to "T" in '88... Lastly the '87s all had metal trim around the back window, early '88s built prior to about about mid Nov '87, have the metal as well...
Wow, I didn't realize there were such suttle differences. I knew the bodies were the same, and if I'm not mistaken the 88's came with more hp, at least the 5.0's did.
Thank for the info TC50. Basically, it's tough to tell them apart. The alts have probably been replaced in the last 20 years, the EECs are behind a kick panel, the back window trim isn't a foolproof method and theVIN isn't obvious. That leaves some minor interior trim that may be different. No wonder I like them both so much!!
bad bird, sorry for the hijack and congrats again on the purchase!!
I would have still brought it home with the 87. Never know what little parts you might need since these cars are so hard to find.
You can have the camaro for about 80k lol
Since my accident I have been kicking around the idea with my dad about selling it...technically my car since I bought the body but he built the engine and did the cage. So its kinda both of our cars. Plus he wont drive it! lol
Good luck with the TC man! Im picking mine up in a few weeks and I can hardly wait! Its like christmas is coming! lol Keep pics posted of your progress
i would have loved to keep the 87 but i allready got 2 other projects that i have to finish
