Holy S*it, that is a keeper man, wrap it up ... 11K miles ? WOW.
That would sure be hard to resist .... I had an 84 w/T tops, never saw verts around - how rare is it ?

Wow, I have 2 matrix3 camaro's, not many around. Is that a matrix3 owners manual? I've never seen one of those, rarer than the car, any interesting info in it?

Yes it's the matrix owners manual just has the basic stuff in it, also got a firebird evening wear manual lol wasn't sure if that was a good price Trans ams seem to sell low around where I live.

Re: My 84 ta with matrix top barn find
Thanks guys! Put rims and tires on it thus week, hopefully installing my exhaust tomorrow and probably going to leave it alone. That's the only bad thing about a low milage car in my mind I feel bad changing to many things on it. Would love to drop a bigger motor in it, change the rear to a posi etc but feel bad changing to much on it.

Re: My 84 ta with matrix top barn find
Great Car! Does that options list say the convertible conversion cost $7003? Not cheap, for sure. Based on how often I see Matrix3 cars show up for sale, I bet they built about 400-500 cars and about 100 survive today. They did a good conversion that should retain its value. If you are able, I would like to see photos from the rear and of the interior, toward the rear seats. Also...are there any Matrix3 labels or badges on the car? If so, how many and where?
Matrix3 also built Corolla & Celica convertibles at well as a Nissan Pickup/SUV conversion much like the Pathfinder that came later and some van conversions.
Again....what a great car!
