Here's what the 92's looked like. 1 of 25

And this is the only picture I have of the 93. The one that's been on ebay a few times for over $15k

That doesn't look like any Earnhardt edition I've seen.

 

I thought that they all had silver bottoms...but I couldn't care less either way :)

IIRC, only 25 actual DE editions were made each year. I'm betting that is Gary's from EFI-street. He had 2 and both were 5-speeds. I think he was from MO.

There was never a 5 speed made in the DE edition. Nothing matches the decales that the orignal ED had. I saw a similar one at the yard, with the signature about 5-6 months ago. It had some decales on it, but I can bet that it was not a true ED. There were only 25 made each year, 91, 92,93. There was never an 5 speed made in the ED. I have the GM book stating all of the fact.

I thought they only came in autos?

 

I think I read somewhere that the rare thing about the Z34's was only it's transmission being a manual. I could be wrong. :confused:

Thats not what we were talking about. They made well over 35 thousand Lumina Z34s with the auto, and only 1,907 with the 5 speed. What we are talking about here is whether or not the Dale Earnhard edition Z34s ever came with the 5 speed.

kinda off topic from you guys, but i like the front lower bumber(lack of a better word) on the 93 saying lumina like that. and i don't think that is a DE edition in the junk yard IMO. the decals are wrong from what i have seen, and if it was a DE edition why would someone go and add decals to it? i think itmight be a replica

Perhaps the 5 speed needed to be special ordered. Anyone who remembers gary would remember the 5 speed that he picked up from his female friend just in time to save it from the scrapper.

X2. Every GM book I've ever seen at Borders/Barnes and Noble, etc haven't had any breakdown of production numbers for Lumina besides body type, let alone a DE edition.
