i am interested in buying a camaro but the one i am looking at has a model name i have never encountered before. it is a "berlenetta" (i think thats how it was spelled) i have heard of z28's and iroc-z's but not this any help plz and thkz

ps it is an '87

87DJP2001

It was GM 's name for the non-performance model Camaro for a few years. A Girl's car at the time and not PC now.

so the "berlenetta" was just a fancy name for the plain jane so to speak of camaro's? no fancy supension or engine or anything

they didnt come with ground effects either so they look pretty gay i.m.o.

Id personally go with the Z28 or IROC the berlinettas just look horrible. good luck finding a nice camaro

really when someone asks you what car you drive do you want to say "i drive a berlinetta"?!?!?!?!? thats what i thought

stealth2000

to be completely honest with you the main reason i am looking at is because it is so cheap, 500 bucks (can.) with new floor pans, paint, rear shocks and rebuilt tranny. i do agree with thatt it is not as attractive as say a z-28 but i wouldn't go as far as to say ugly (although everyone is entitled to there opinion)

actually some of them cam with a pretty bitchin digital dash that moved! they are either 305 cars or 2.8 cars from the factory and like was said have no gfxs and some ugly *** rims.

just out of my own curiosity were all of the dimensions the same for the berlinetta as the other camaros? if so the thing would be worth it for sure if you put on a ground effects package and some new rims. and if its only got the v6 in it id really want to do an engine swap. couldnt imagine driving a camaro with anything other then a v8 (actually a v10 might be kind of fun )

It's worth $500 just as a straight body. You can always put GFX and new wheels on it and swap in a 383 and no one will ever know it started life as a bottom-of-the-line car with a really bad name.

where abouts do you think i'd go looking for all those parts? prefferably in canada

stealth2000

i'd also like to say you guy's have been alot of help thanks

Just to let you know, the Berlinetta digital dash does not go higher than 85mph. At 85mph it will start to flash. Car will go faster but speedo stops at 85.
My friends was fully optioned. just no gfx or spoiler.

stealth2000

this paticular one has no digi dash but does have the classc camaro "lip" spoiler, it also has "t" tops, V6, i don not belive it has the original wheels(i could be wrong i can't find picks) and a kind of fake gfx in the form of a silver/gray bar along the bottom

Hey at least its a Camaro btw does it have the 2.8 v6?
