These pics exist en masse in the the "Your Convertibles" (Your Convertibles) thread that entertains me regularly. Still, I like these kinda pics:



In the background is the Cystral Springs Reservior and the Fifield-Cahill range just south of San Francisco.

this one hasn't got any special backgrounds or nothing just a KMart parking lot (taken shortly after i had driven the FSAE formula car on our race track there)

but it does have a pretty cool angle, at least i think so...

1987 "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" Z28 Convertible
12 Confirmed to Exist
2 of the 12 have the 305 TPI / 5-speed Drivetrain
1 of the 2 is fully equipped.
I'm the lucky owner of the 1.

I have the original 15x7 wheels in storage with NEW P215-65R15 Eagle GT tires which were original to the '87 Z28 and have not been produced by Goodyear in over twelve years.
