You have a rare one. I wonder if it was converted when it was new, or a year or two later. I guess we may never know.... You have a rare one, thats for sure.

There were 2 companies tat did 2 seat conversions Autoform and Hess and Eisenhardt I believe was the name ACKRN07 I believe your car is a Hess and Eisenhardt car. And the answer is YES these cars are legit.
I for one think they are Way Cool but they do need the GFX kit RS Z something, that is all that I see wrong with them. and I do have to agree though, to much chrome for a true 3rd Gen 'ro
Hey all, just joined the website. How do I post pics? I have two Autoform convertibles. One is an 84 Trans Am, cream w/ black top, and 30k original miles (which is for sale by the way). The other is an 83 TA Autoform with 70k miles.

Hi Zuckuss.. Maybe a shot in the dark.. but I have a 92 Firebird. I am in England, and some idiot broke a part on my car last year. Does your breaker have an electonic motor that pushes the boot (trunk) lid up and down? I have a button on th dash that I press and it releases the lid.
I can get a whole new motor for £400.00! shipped in from the states. but I would like to try and get it a bit cheaper if I could, so I have joined here to ask about.
Many thanks from across the 'pond'.

I had the same problem...What my mechanic found is that the SubFrame X that AutoForm had welded in there was starting to come loose...Check and see if the welds are loose anywhere on those extra connectors...That's what fixed it for me.
would anyone happen to have a picture of the autoform conversion on the x frame under the car? like up on a lift so that we can see the intire subframe.. i was thinking about doing a conversion close to this and didnt know about the x frame till i read this thread.
