You say you want to order a Camaro convertible?

Here are a few pics of original GM documentation introducing the "new" 1987 Camaro convertible. Please note that the car pictured is actually a 1986 model.

If anyone wants to download either of the first two images to their hard drive, I have much larger and clearer images than the two I posted. Please e-mail me and I'll send the clearer one(s) your way. The second two I posted are not reduced versions.

I agree,
I love the looks of Iroc convertibles, especially with the original style stripes and wheels!

that's a shame, the tranny was an expensive fix but not a death blow! hang on to it,they ain't gettin' no younger. if you're ever in the nashville area,look me up, i've got some of those parts you need. as for motor and trans,it's beggin' for an upgrade. my '89 rs 'vert tells me that all the time.......:lala:

Look NOW, but there is a 3rd gen Convert set up with a blower and raised hood on eBay right now.,.. Worth it in my book!

Hey, the funny thing is the top instructions because I've found I need to hold the top up while lifting over the rear deck lid (left to right side or vice~versa) I can't do it from one position and one side!! hehehe

the switch release's the tonneau cover so you can put the top down.

on late 91 and all 92 models, that switch was moved to the tonnau cover, next to the top release handle.

this makes it so you dont have to reach back into the car to release the cover... slick if you ask me...


i moved my release to the later on cover position, and put a coupe electric trunk release where the tonneu release was orignally...

I've seen Dude's setup and it's pretty slick.
He's going to help me wire one up on my car when moves back to Texas.

My Wife's Car

Willie, can you email me the images. I collect everything Camaro and have a room that looks more like a Camaro museum than my office. Enclosed is a picture of my wife's 1992 RS Convertible.

That did not work!! Anyone want to help me out on how to get this picture on this site?
