1993 was the first year for the 4th generation. 1998 was just a face lift, and the new engine. The fifth generation is yet to come. (we can only hope) - Gary

Zero produced for the public and/or production records. These are test mules, not real life/sales/recorded machines.
GM also built 50 or so 1986 F cars with 350's----never sold to the public. 1987 is the first official year of the vehicle.
No 3rd gen with an LT1. Only the Corvette had it in 1992. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 26k orig. '79 "Y89" 400/4 speed 10th Ann.
