That shifter looks broken.

4th Gen interior?? Wow that's cool.

305 most likely means 170hp TBI. That's not a bad thing really. Same exact EFI as my Caprice...

These can easily run a high 15 so they aren't dog slow.

Plus, maybe the airbags work, so some safety, and I can learn manual.

Should have a driver's side air bag.

The internet sucks so I have no idea if ABS was standard or even available.

Looking at other 25th anniversary Camaros, this 4th gen interior was not a factory thing. Yes the steering wheel with the airbag, and maybe the gauges, but the console and seats definitely not. Also not the plastic injection molded dash. It is cool though as long as it was done well. The gen 3 interior is not good. It would be cool if those gauges worked with an ls swap...

Could also be the LB9 305ci TPI engine with somewhere around 205hp.

I should also mention that a friend in high school had an '85 Camaro with an L69 (190hp) and a 5-speed. That car was much more enjoyable to drive than other 3rd gen Camaros with the 305 TPI and the 700R4.

Oh of course it wasn't. Someone went to a lot of trouble to do that which is cool. It does look better than the original interior.
