Trans Am convertibles are rare, you'll find many more Corvette convertibles. I have studied the ratio and found that 15 to 1 is about standard (Vette to TA Convs). These cars are not kept up as well as Vettes and are drag raced much more. Guess what happens to supply? When a car ages, rarity drives price. When these cars hit the 20-30 yr. mark price escalation occurs. These are simply too rare and popular not to escalate. Extraordinary pieces will lead the way as always. I'm not surprised you don't see many, I looked in the Charlotte Observer today under Pontiac and Antique Autos. Zero.

The price really goes up if you have an all stock car.

My newest car and "toy" is a 1991 RS convertible. It is a bone-stock, 115,000 mile AZ car, needs some cosmetics, but has strong running 305 TBI and automatic. I am building a 2nd gen 1981 Berlinetta that will replace this as daily driver so I can restore this one next

Dad'svert

I am thrilled with the vert that my son & I are enjoying together. It is a 1990 RS with the 305. It only has 57k miles on it and it is all original. Probably going to need a paint job in the near future, but not bad for the age of the car.

Your car looks familiar, did you buy it in the East Valley of Phoenix?

Dad'svert

Trying to figure this thread thing out...I was actually asking about the blue vert posted just before my white vert. Was the blue vert purchased in the East Valley of Phoenix?

iansane

I know I've posted them elsewhere but I figured I might as well add my newest pictures to this thread. I just can't help but whore them around.

Krazzycowgirl

oyevayboy

I have a 92 purple convetible, 5 speed. I wanted to replace the burned out lights in the third brake light on the trunk, but can't find the bulbs anywhere. Also, where is the best place to get new tops at the best price?

91 Ragtop

Welcome to the boards!!

This should help you with the lights.

I found it in this thread. I bought those for my Trans Am and they worked great and saved me lots of money over the ones they wanted to sell at Advanced Auto.

iansane

I've heard some issues with those over heating the housings and melting them on some camaros (since the 3rd brake light is the same as a 'maro) I think it was Mr_dude1 that had the issue. However, there are TONS of people running those halogen bulbs with supposedly no problems. If you're not going to run the '891' bulb which should be at any parts store then I'd use LEDs.

1991 Camaro Vert. 305, TBI, 700R4 Trans, ALL stock under hood. orginal engine, trans, never been rebuilt. 156k miles on her. runs good.

Hi everyone. MY first post on TGO. I picked up this vert about a month ago. this is my third 3rd gen.. i had a Recaro T/A, and a 88 RS before this one. I finly found this after about 8 years of wating and searching. It was incredibly cheep considering the condtion of it. The pait in a "cheep" paint job but its for the most part decent. It came stock one color the previous owner had the black added. It has hail damage on the front hood and i have a new hood for it just not painted yet. Over all its pretty good runing car. i'v made very few minor repairs with some local TGO friends i've made. and she runs great now. had some suspension issues. fixed em up. good tune up and she's now my daily driver for a while. I'll be putting her down for new motor/trans change to manual, and paint and new hood. then i'm gonna swap the gray cloth interior to black adn dark red leather. Here's some pics of it. as it is

gatorcola

From a relatively new contributor, welcome and congratulations on your vert. Nice ride! Facinated by the black effects - I've never seen that done before.

Here is a pic of both of my Camaro's.... "Clyde" is in the garage... and the vert is waiting his turn....

This is my 89 Vert, it was given to me by a friend of my fathers and is in dire need of some interior lovin, but for a free vert, who's complaining?

The Convertible system was a little haywire so the hatch wouldn't close at first. Fixed now.

A nice side shot.

It needs plenty of TLC but it's my baby and I'll give her what she needs.
