Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | I have taken the liberty of "stickying" this post. It needs to stay at the top!
This raises a thought. I should do the same for my 1987 Z28 convertible registry which I've maintained since 1996....

Car: 1990 Camaro IROC-Z Convertible Engine: LB9 Transmission: T5 | I'll have to think about whether or not I want my info posted for everyone to see on the net. At the least I'll provide my first name and some pictures. Let me think about it.
Here are some pictures.
Night shot with IROC rims
Old pic after an accident when it still had a V6
After body and paint work and the LB9 swap, with Berlinetta/LT rims on.

Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | Guys,
A registry is not posted on the internet for all to see. It is kept by one person and the personal information contained within is only released in its entirety to other members. This information would include names, addresses, contact info, etc.
General information about the cars themselves can be released to the public. This information would include exterior color, interior color, drivetrain, etc.

Car: 1987 Z28 Convertible Engine: 305 TPI Transmission: 5-speed | A sidenote on the LT convertible pictured above. Because the VIN sixth digit is a "2", it cannot be construed as a genuine factory convertible. The fact that ASC performed the conversion is irrelevant. Although its value would be higher than a hardtop of equal condition/options, it would not be as high as a VIN sixth digit "3" car. BTW, all "3" convertibles in 1987 received the "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" map pocket.

| ****UPDATE*****
Spent several hr's searching history of convertibles and found the thread where this was explained, It might be good to post this thread as a link for anyone new so they can know what is meant by the statement. I found it to very very useful information!!!
Willie if you read this can you tell me if my vert would be included in the count of SC coupes for the year since it is not a vin # 3 car?
Just trying to get a better understanding of where the vert's that were made like mine fall in place at as far as count goes?

Car: 87 20th anv lt sport coupe convertible Engine: 305 Transmission: 700 r4 | i believe it's more than suspension, my lt came with factory driving lights, a 6 way power drivers seat, power mirrors on both doors, cruise control, tilt steering, ect, basicly all the bells and whistles, and the wheels were just like the berlinetta, as they were gold in color. |
