Re: Looking at a 3rd gen Camaro: Engine Vin?
They are in the same spot as older engines. The stamp pad is a little more square in shape than the older pads. The vin is very clear as it is etched into the pad in a very unusual font making it very difficult to duplicate (not that GM cares about IROC originality).

Re: Looking at a 3rd gen Camaro: Engine Vin?
Thanks for the info. I looked at the car on Sunday and made him an offer. We'll see what happens. It actually has 120,000 miles but looks like 20,000. Two owner, local car. Original yellow paint with grey interior, L98 350 with an automatic. Runs great but needs brakes and minor TLC.

Re: Looking at a 3rd gen Camaro: Engine Vin?
Steve,
You may be interested to know that 1987 was the only year you could get a Yellow L98 IROC. Look for G92 on the RPO sticker (located in the console). It is the performance package which gave you 4 wheel disk, posi rear, better rear gear, bigger front brakes, dual cooling fans and engine oil cooler. GM Canada can also document the car for you even if it is a US car! I'm speaking from experience since I have an '88 IROC from California. It takes a little longer than usual but it is nice to have GM docs for it. Enjoy, Hylton

Re: Looking at a 3rd gen Camaro: Engine Vin?
It doesnt have that code but it does have all the items you mentioned factory installed, including the Australian 9 bolt 3.27 rear gear, the hot water fed/oil cooler and it is a real B4Z L98 car. Still waiting for his response. I made him an offer for the car without the monster stereo he has in it. Don't need it and I'd rather have the factory piece anyway.
