1987 "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" Z28 Convertible
12 Confirmed to Exist
2 of the 12 have the 305 TPI / 5-speed Drivetrain
1 of the 2 is fully equipped.
I'm the lucky owner of the 1.
I have the original 15x7 wheels in storage with NEW P215-65R15 Eagle GT tires which were original to the '87 Z28 and have not been produced by Goodyear in over twelve years.

Re: Convertible Photography
I bought mine from http://www.sporttruckspecialty.com/w...roc-chrome.htm $150/each and includes shipping and no tax! So only $600 for 18x8 delivered to your doorstep...American Racing brand. It also included chrome lugs ($40 value) and center caps for that price. I would ask to make sure they still give you the lugs...that saves you some extra dollars compared to anywhere I looked.

Re: Convertible Photography
It's the original color, called Ultra Blue Metallic. The paint code is WA 9591. I have also had another 3rd gen this color, I love it.

Re: Convertible Photography
The picture was actually taken by a friend of mine, a great photographer. It was his ideas to do moving pictues with blurred background and I applaud him for it.
You're right, the convertibles look awesome while moving, what adds to the effect greatly, though, is the 2" drop!!
It looks like it's hugging the road.Great pictures, guys, keep 'em coming!

Re: Convertible Photography
Randy, I'm glad you posted those pictures. I had been thinking about getting the SS hood for my car. I'd hate to copy off you though. I think with my custom grill and the chrome ZR1's, it would be different enough. We'll see...I have to finish my LSX swap first anyways. Who knows, I may even drive it with no hood for a month or so just to show off the new motor.

Re: Convertible Photography
Yup it is the real deal.
There were Two, possibly three Convertible TTA's One was a Cloth car (one of the pre-production cars) the other two were Leather. I KNOW of two, the third is unknown...

Re: Convertible Photography
Dang it John, where are your photos? Nothing in the VGarage or your website (from what I could tell). Have I missed something - I would love to view your vert!
edit: actually I just came across two small pics in a sticky. As any red blooded American knows "MORE IS BETTER". I'm sure I speak for others, MORE PLEASE! Beautiful ride, Sir
Your prompt attention to this matter will be appreciated.
