76 camaro new member

 Hey whats up everyone...i just registered today and must say..i love the forums...very uselful info here....but now to my question: i have a 1976 camaro....that i bought from a friend 2 years ago....for 1,500  but he says that its a R/S.....but i dont know if Chevrolet made any R/S camaros that year...i know they did not make a z28...but the engine is a 350 and the car has the ducktail wing....so any help on this would help...thanks again..

Welcome to the forum, post up some pics. You can run the vin to see what kind it was, the best place for that is www.nastyz28.com  that place is great for 2nd gen info.

Yes they made an RS that year, Ralley Sport was the top model over the LT for the year, until 78.  74 1/2 was the last Z28 till then... Welcome to the forum...

thanks carguy and 74 454......im still confused because mine has the satin finish on the trunk panel like a lt but has the wing and 350....and this is going to be my project car.....me and my dad just rebuilt the engine but still needs some interior work and some of the emblems are coming loose....is there a good place to order parts for these camaros....

 Yes there is, national parts depot, year one, classic industries, paddock. They will have everything you need, just stop by their webside and order/ download a catalog.... if you think yours is hard, mine is a 74 1/2 so twho knows what it is.

thanks

Hey 454... Send me your RPO code tags, Ill find out for you...  Same as I did with mine...

The LT did have a 350, but was a detuned version from the Z38, had a small 4 brl carb,  The RS came with a 305, or optional 2 brl 350 powered V8.  but had the "race tuned" suspension, and nill for power options to save weight for the track, the LT had power windows, opt power locks,  etc

 I would have to say it's an RS, cuz there is crap for power options, and the suspension is awsome even with aa BB stuffed in her... I'll get the codes for ya...all I got was a coup with a 350 V8...I think a 4bbl, but could be wrong.

Ok, ill let ya know when I get them what it is... I still work for GM,  so ill be able to find out...

a quick way to tell, if the 5th didgit of the VIN, is a "T" then it was ordered with the 350, 245HP 4brl .... only engine the Z28 came with that year....  i he second didgit is an "S"... that was a "type LT"   Q would be the base coupe, and Z28 code...
