I have looked on the internet a good ammount for a guide that tells all the differences in the 3rd gen camaros, but to no avail. I am mainly looking for the exterior differences but would also like the interior and engine differences as well. Does anyone have a link to a document with said information or that can contribute sum of their knowledge? Thanks guys, later.

so, tell me wat year this is :lala:

 

I believe that's the '81 Prototype Camaro POS. Actually, with some ground effects and losing whatever that thing is on the back, it would look nice.

 

looks like a base SC camaro or LT or Berlinetta, but I think it says just camaro on the side there so im gunna go with SC from 85-88. Then there was an additional hood and rear whatever put on the hatch.

 

Yup, just a beat-up plain Camaro from the earlier years with some bolt-on stuff.

 

Assuming the body panels (except hood) and paint are original, it's an 85 Sport Coupe. Explanation: The front bumper fascia was used from 1985 - 87. 1985 was the only of the three years where the Sport Coupe was 100 percent one color. The 1986 / 87 SC had an accenting lower body color with striping. Therefore, the conclusion is this car is an 85.

 

What about the taillights? which yrs/models had the solid ones(refered to as grid I believe) and which ones has the tailights with the line through them?

 

Is that the rare 81 Thirdgen Camaro with the hatchback and the white paint you can only find in France? WOW ummm not really can I have your hood? Thats about all I see thats cool on that car.

 

absolutely. here is an example (my car..) of how they changed the paint in 86. ignore the IROC decals, there is a long and boring story behind them....(the stripes are non origional as well)
