I have an '83 Camaro Autoform. The door stickers were removed during the last paint job (before I purchase the car).

Attached are a few pics.

One question I have is: How does the rear hatch release mechanism work for these cars? My car does not have any release mechanisms and the hatch must be opened by putting a finger under a small opening and pulling up. Not exactly the easiest way to raise the hatch!

Any help is appreciated. -Thanks, Dan

hi, do you have the middle button on center console to pop the trunk latch or is it broken?

DanS1958

Since this post, I installed a middle button and found a used hatch latch and installed it. My latch may be weak though as it will not quite open the rear unit. Also, the shocks seem to be weak as the lid does not spring up the way a normal hatchback would pop up. This is good though as I don't want it to fly up while driving down the road! Other than that, the cal looks and drives great!

Thanks for your reply.

I just bought this 1984 Camaro Z28 Autoform in Norway. It’s in pretty good shape. Is it possible to get repro rubber parts that are special for the Autoform conversion?

Beautiful car. I have added your car to the registry. Can you reply with the conversion date as well? Sorry that I don't have an answer to your specific question.

My impression is that the manufacturer painted my car 65 but Autoform repainted it 55. Anyone ever seen that or seen a dark gold autoform (Almost looks brown).

1. Model year: 1984
2. Model: Trans Am
3. Color: Currently white, inside the color is (55) Light Metallic Gold. The car was originally (65) Dark Metallic Gold.
4. Autoform Production # on door: unk. It’s been removed by previous owners
5. Date of conversion: unk
6. Location of conversion (Bremen, IN or Elkhart, IN or ??) unk
