are 91-92 convertables rare or something?

I see at least 4 on the paper, and there's around 3-4 guys in my neighbourhood who drive one...

Considering that there were only about 1,500 3rd gen TA convertibles produced TOTAL (all years!), yes, I'd say they are somewhat rare. Firebird convertibles were a little more common, but there weren't a whole lot of those produced either.

Well in 1991 there were 555 Trans Am Convertibles made & in 1992 there were 671 Trans Am Convertibles made. So I would say that they are pretty rare. Just keep in mind I am talking about Trans Am Convertibles not just Firebird Convertibles.

Where did you get that picture?? It looks like a professional pic.
I love the TA's, but I think the Camaro's are just as nice. The TA vert gets 500% more attention than my camaro did. It wasn't a vert though.

Yes you are correct. It is a professional picture from a website. I have one myself but I couldn't get my pic up because its too large. But when I saw these pic, the car looked really nice so I decided to put it on the message board to show people that the car is nice & because I have not seen any pics of this car on this message board. And what do you mean the car is not a convertible? My VIN# shows 33 which is a convertible. Maybe I just misunderstood you?

I think he was talking about his Camaro (not a 'vert) vs. his TA ('vert).
