Restored 1992 Camaro Cop Car on eBay
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
We were tipped to the eBay auction of this pristine 1992 Chevy Camaro BC4-package cop car by BangShift.com forum memember MR4Speed. The car was an active unit in Utah for most of its life before being retired from service and landing in the hands of a Utah Highway Patrol “expert” who grabbed it because it was never crashed and had no severe repairs in its work history. It was then completely restored. We want it.
Yes, it is a TPI 305 stick car that won’t win too many drag races, but it is a very neat car in its own right. The Camaro comes equipped with all the lights, radios, and tricky police gadgets that an officer would have been tucked in with back when the car was fighting crime on the mean streets of Utah. Add in the fact that it is one of less than 1,000 police package cars to be packing a manual transmission, and the motor is cleaner than most restaurant kitchens, and you’ve got a neat car!
There’s not a spot of rust on it and you could scare the wits out of everyone else headed to the car show with the flip of a couple of switches. How do you beat that? There’s just something about cop cars.

RX-7 Type R

Ever since we saw the rear diffuser on the Renault Megane Trophy shown at the Paris Motor Show we’ve been on the lookout for cool rear diffusers on CarDomain. JDMgeorgie imported this right-hand drive ’92 RX-7 Type R from Japan and started in on the mods, which included this carbon fiber rear diffuser. Doesn’t get much more JDM than that.

You Can't Kill a 3.8

Or anyway that’s the conclusion of this Davesfarm guy after he ran over a 1992 Buick Regal a few times with a 20 ton bulldozer and was still able to drive it around his property.

Aerocivic

Some guy from South Carolina posted pics of his wild Aerocivic on Ecomodder back in December. The Cd dropped from 0.34 to 0.17 and he claims to get 95 mpg when he keeps the speeds between 30 to 65 mph (he was getting low 60s to low 50s mpg before he started the project). Mods to the ’92 Civic CX took about 250 hours and cost roughly $400 in materials. More pics after the jump.
