Car: 2000 Camaro Z28 Engine: 5.7 LS1 Transmission: 6 speed Axle/Gears: 3.42 | hey everyone im new to thirdgen.org and finding a convertible specific forum is sweet.
i bought mine in feb 04 and needed a bit of work. the center section of the spoiler was missing so i replaced it with a different wing and am in the process of smoothing out the spot welds on the sides. the front and rear covers need work. the rear was off a teal car and the black paint is coming off. the front met a curb the day i lowered it. i had to replace the motor 4 days after i bought it. i found a rod bearing in the oil pan. oh well it was a good start to moding it. it sports a 350 l98 and 5 speed. im doing body and interior work now. ive done a little suspention work to it. | |

Car: '91 TA vert Engine: HSR 305 Transmission: T56 Axle/Gears: 3.23 | Thanks, that side looks good but the other side is a slightly different shade. The previous owner let his wife drive into a guardrail so the replacement panels on there don't 100% match.
Thanks, I love the thing. It's my dream car. Just gotta make it go faster, turn sharper and stop quicker. | |

Car: '90 RS Vert Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: 700-R4 | Hey Cadillac!
According to the build numbers listed on this site there were a total of 28183 Camaro Convertibles made and only 3829 Firbird Convertibles made. I'm sure that this number does not reflect conversions made by other companies besides ASC... Given the large diffrence in numbers it is pretty safe to say that the Topless Birds are a lot rarer than the Camaro Verts...
You can find the info for your self here: Build Numbers
You will have to scroll down a little ways but not too far to find the production numbers...
Speedy

Speedy | That is exactly the information I needed. Speedy, you rock.
Now of the 950 Firebirds converted by ASC in 1991, how many were V6, LO3 and LB9? Given an even distribution of these engines to ASC, it's possible there were only 330 or so of any particular engine.
So then it could follow, my '91 ragtop with a 5.0 LO3 is one in 450.
(LB9? WTF is that? TPI or carbuerated?) | |

Car: 1992 Pontiac Trans Am Convertible Engine: 305 H.O. Transmission: 700R4 | LB9 is a 305 TPI. Most if not all 91 and 92's if powered by a V8 was a LB9 305.

Car: 1988 Formula convertible Engine: 305 TPI | Rarity of Formula vert
Those are all beauties. This car I'm told is only 1 of 104 made for that year by ASC. Car listed for $24,000 new, according to Pontiac files, making this fairly steep that year.
I need, unfortunately, to sell this sweet ride due to finances and am looking for a 3rd gen buyer.
Would be interested in hearing some offers.
