Hello, I am new to camaro's, and was planning on getting a 1990 Iroc-z28 convertible or a 1997 T-top camaro. I went with the 1990 Iroc-z28 convertible because I like the looks of it better.
The question is kind of dumb I think I already know the answer, but does the 1990 Iroc-z28 convertible have a trunk? =/. If there is, how big is it, and can anyone take a picture of it.
Also, what kind of speakers are the rear, I am pretty sure they are 6X9's.
Thanks for the information =], hope to get a reply back soon!

Yes, there is a trunk. And the space is not taken up by the roof when it's down. The roof sits on a shelf, that, when the roof is up, can also be used for extra storage space.
Here's a few pics of mine (the same as yours) . . .
Thank's Iroctopless, this was the only thing I was wondering about because it looks like there's a trunk but was not sure though. I wanted to put a sub in the trunk and if It didn't have a trunk I would have been SOL.
Now the only problem is finding a 1990 Iroc-Z28 Convertible with around 75k miles, Highly doubt I will find one with the mileage though. Considering the production was cut off half way through...
1990 Production figures: 43,986 Camaros total
4,213 IROC-Z coupes
1,294 IROC-Z convertibles
The IROC package is just a decal set and wheels. If you are hard pressed to find a 1990 in the condition you want it (I really think you're going to have a hard time), a 1991 or 1992 Z28 would be a nice 2nd option. It's virtually the same car but without the decals, different wheels and ground effects.

GFX , rims and a name change since "IROC" was dropped in 91.
I deff. think its gonna be hard to find a super clean 90 vert for a decent price.
I think the ground effects on the '91/'92 cars look better on convertibles, but hey what do I know?
What's funny is that I actually like the pre-'91 ground effects better on non-convertible cars, but the newer ground effects on convertibles.....I know, I don't get it either....
If anything, I would buy a T-TOP 1990 camaro Iroc-z, just going to take some time to look around and see what people are asking and if there ARE any available. I don't really like the 91-92, I like the 1990 better for some reason, even though they are almost exactly alike.
I remember when I had my 1990 IROC-Z about 2 years ago, I swear I thought I had ended up at the other side of a rainbow when I found that car. They are so hard to find. I wish I still had that car actually, but now it's in Texas. It was a 305/5spd G92 hardtop car with every option available except for ttops, rear discs, cd player, etc.

Dont get mad if I call you and idiot i just call them like i see them, If you want to tell me im a jerk save it ive heard it all before....
Probably cost a bit more than that... First off you have to find someone to do it for you. Secondly it would be easiest to actually find a Convertible to pull parts from and convert a T-top to a Vert.
I would think that all said and done you would have closer to $10K into a conversion after you get the parts, fix what is wrong with the parts, and install them on your car... In short, buy one already done, less headaches better long term value, better all the way around.
The "Factory Authorized" conversion was done by ASC, from 1985 - 1987 ASC did Camaro conversions for Dealerships. From 1987 - 1992 ASC did the "Factory" conversion, they ALL started life as a T-top car. ASC also did the 1987 - 1989 Firebird Convertible for Dealers new, and 1991 & 1992 "Factory Convertibles. There were a few other companies after 1987 that also did conversions, but I would tend to avoid those as finding parts would be next to impossible. In short I would stick with ASC.
Confused?

No not really confused, so if I bought a old convertible, the parts would cost around 10k after I am done converting? What you mean if I got a shitty camaro convertible for around 3k or so, and buy my own top, would only cost about 5k with the parts I would assume or am I not getting something here?
More or less, if you paid someone to take two cars and make it into one. By the time you got done with paint, and the conversion process and replacing and or repairing parts that needed it you would have been far ahead to buy a nice factory vert that was already done....
I guess anyone could do it, but it would depend on how good of a job you/they did and the care and attention to detail you wanted to take.
My question at this point, why not just buy one done:
Here are 6 for sale around the country, they are not that hard to find...
I'm confused with why you don't want to hassle with installing the interior from a 1990 IROC into an older IROC, but you seem willing to make your own convertible from a totally different car, which would take MUCH more hassling than simply swapping interior??? Am I missing something

x2, especially since I have taken a totaled vert and did the T-Top to vert project already before. Easy if you have the skills and everything to do it.
A dash swap would be a walk in the park. Hell buy a 91/92 vert and put old gfx on it since you dont like the gfx. Im sure 100 people on this site alone would trade older gfx for 91/92's if he wanted to.

1991/1992 gfx go like hot cakes on the for sale section here on TGO. Someone would jump at the change to trade with you. Granted, you would have to swap out the bumpers as well (at least I know for the the rear bumper, not sure if the mounting tabs are the same on the front bumper).And as he mentioned, swapping the dash is simple, and seats I can do with one arm behind my back and blindfolded.
I have a 90 vert...yes, they are rare, especially in the 5-speed.
But like others have said, don't limit yourself because more than likely, you will end up
modifying the car. If you look at my car today, no one would care if it is a 90 vert. They just care that it is a nice looking ride.

+1 It doesn't matter to me what year ^ his car is, it's one of the nicest cars on here. You could make a 1991 Z28 look just like that with the proper stickers and ground effects.
The whole reason behind having a 1990 camaro iroc-28 all original, is because I will not be modifying the car unless it has already been modified. I want the car as a sort of investment, the car is rare I mean me trying to get one is a pain in the rear, thanks for the other information. I might as well just do a conversion of some kind if I cant find the right one I am looking for, I have had many offers of people selling their 1990 camaro locally. All of them have red interrior which I hate and I never responded when I heard it had red interrior, looks stupid in my opinion.
I have a 1990 vert I would sell you, the car has a little under 19,000 original miles. 100% stock except for the rearend gears. It has a red interior though..........
