Looks just like mine, but the dealership put the aqua stripe on and I like it becuase its unique, at least around here. what's the last 6 digits of your VIN? Mine is 153115 and was an ASC conversion. Mine has the first design center tail lite with only 2 bulbs and narrower thatn the rear tag, haven't seen alot of them. My "glovebox" is exacly like yours too. Marty

Here's my 91 T/A 'vert. Needs a little work. Just bought it less than a week ago, for the money that I got it for, you just can't pass it up. 98k miles. Feels good to own this rare car.
Here's my 92 T/A WS6 before the currently ongoing resto. [IMG]file:///C:/Users/ROBBHI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]0002.JPG
Currently the bodywork is pretty much done aside from paint, and I'm tking a break, since I'm returning to Nursing school in a week or so...but I'll be on it during semester breaks and such.
My car needs a new home, although I hate selling, I lost my job since I last came here, almost two years without getting hired, I just don't know what I can save of this mess I'm in. I own two cars currently, 88 Sedan Deville with cracked block and flat tire, and the rusty, not so mint condition 1989 Firebird Formula 350. Because it is so rare, my asking price is $3500...with a new top I never got on and extra door stickers as well as nose and bumper I never put on. Cloth seats can likely be ejected and replaced with Recaro or something, the rain got on all this interior but it dries out in 48 hours too, over all, it's taken some punches. When I can I put two car covers over it, and for a long time, I didn't have any of those. I took updated pics, but they are scary for some, compared to the few shots I took when it was new..(to me)
Is it wierd to like the looks of the car with the top up? Im not a top down guy really at all...I think mine has gone down a total of 15 times in the 2 years of driving it. Ussually when I take a girl out and she doesnt mind her hair getting messed up. I want a T/A vert, they look the best imo
For some odd reason more people look at my wifes 1990 IROC convertible with the top up than down. I have driven the car more than she does and have been approached by numerous people asking about selling it. You get more peoples attention with the top up, and like the guy at Lowes this weekend yelled across the parking lot " that is a cool car". Top up.
The weird thing is my 1987 IROC looks better than the day it rolled off the Vanuys line, but it doesnt draw near the attention the good condition convertible does, top up or down. See my garage for pics.
Here's mine finally done - 1992 Z28 Convertible, 5 speed, factory medium quasar blue in color, cd, leather.

Here is a before and after from a 2 year restoration of my 1989 IROC-Z vert. Bought off of original owner with 62k original miles. Still finishing up hope to get to drive it this year, but the weather is getting cold?
Heres mine, I picked it up about a month ago. 1990 IrocZ, 94k on the clock...I saw it and I couldn't resist...It was too clean to pass up...I have always loved the 3rd gen verts...
Thanks John,
I really appreciate your comments. I have been working on her steadily over the summer. During the winter and through next year i would like to do new seat covers,recover the rear panels, new exhaust and headers[she still has the origional] and perhaps some head or camshaft work. There is always something to be done on our old cars....
nice color i like that yellow do u know the color code

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I love this color... its the 3rd car that I have owned that has been this color or at least similar.

The only 2 seat conversions that I know of were done by Autoform of Elkhart IN. IIRC there was a total of around 500 to 600 of them made from 1983 - 1986, there is someone here that has the production information. to the best of the information I have read the Autoform cars were drop shipped to from the factory, converted then delivered to the participating dealership new. They had an agreement with GM, but they are not an "official" GM conversion.
I think that would look really cool next to my '91 Z28 in a photo. Let me know if you ever think about selling it.
