83 Turbo Greenwood Camaro Convertible
Thought I'd post up the description and pictures of a 1983 Greenwood Turbo Convertible Camaro. I searched the site and found some information on greenwood, but no pictures. It's currently for sale on Ebay.
From the Ad:
1983 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Turbo Convertible (by John Greenwood)
Original Mileage: 5429
VIN# 1G1AP87H9DN165766
Greenwood ID# GF 06014 83
Finished in gray-blue paint with silver accent stripes, this Camaro is a very strong driver, not for the weak of heart. The owner says this vehicle is 1 of only 2 in the world built by John Greenwood (of Corvette fame). In 1983, BF Goodrich Tire Company awarded two custom Camaro Z28 Turbos to the highest producing salespeople in the country. This vehicle for auction is one of those rare custom Camaros from 1983. Car starts and drives so you can pick up and drive with confidence.
The body is straight and the paint shows some wear on the front grill area as you can see in the photos. All of the glass, trim pieces and emblems are in fine shape. The induction hood is a real head turner though it could use paint. The BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires have decent tread left on them. Minor rust near trunk lid. Tear in navy convertible top needs repair. Floor pans, trunk and undercarriage are clean and rust-free.
Under the hood you will find a 5.0 Liter Turbo 305 V-8 built by John Greenwood. The engine has been built to high-performance specs and the engine bay is clean and organized as you can see in the photos. The rumble of the dual exhaust will make your hair stand up. Automatic trans on the floor. Only 5429 original miles!!! The custom Camaro interior is in great condition. Dash, door panels, seats, carpet and headliner are all nice.

Re: 83 Turbo Greenwood Camaro Convertible
looks more like a 105K mile car.
Here is another Greenwood but a Firebird.
I Noticed the wheels are the same

I have no idea, but they appear to be identical to the ones on the Camaro, just different color.

Re: 83 Turbo Greenwood Camaro Convertible
Neat! I also agree it has to be 105k on that thing. No way that has 5000 miles on it.
