Check out this Norwegian Ragtop

Came across this one that I thought was a bit different in some aspects.
First off the color combo of light blue metallic with a white top. I have never seen that before.
Secondly, check out the ducting for the intercooler to the blower, and lastly, the 18x10" rims.

Other than needing some grid tail lights, that things pretty sweet.

in my opinion the rs taillight looks better than the iroc-z style.

I think the car looks slick! Although, I do agree that it needs a set of grid taillights.
BTW, I just noticed the single headlight mod, and the fogs in the RS grille. A Camaro or Bowtie grille would look nice!
Oh, and it has a '92 350 TPI out of a 'vette in it.

I like that a lot. The rims look decent, I like the white top, and the ducting looks good. I agree that it would look better with grid tails, but it still looks sweet.

Sorry, those are all the pics I have as I found it in an add.
BTW, it is for sale for 250,000 Norwegian Kroner, which is near $36K (USD) Guess that goes to show you why I didn't bother to sell mine in the states, huh?

Do thirdgens go for more money overseas? A good stock late Z28 would go for about £6000 or $9000. Hell they didnt cost much new did they about $15000?
Oh. and those headlights look like ones from an early European Audi coupe about mid eighties the american audi lights being different.

Nice car! That ducting setup is pretty slick! Also it looks like he only has that RS grill in one pic, the others appear to be a camaro or bowtie grill.

No it doesn't. 92 vettes had LT1s.

Nice car though. The intercooler ducting is really cool.

LOL, you are right of course! I didn't even think of that, just saw that it said 92 vette engine in the add, and saw from the pic that it was a TPI.

So, basically I have no idea what engine it has!

Could be a 91 TPI 350.
Can you purchase aftermarket
vert tops in white? If so, where at?

Anywhere you go to get a top should be able to get them in different colors. Black is most common, but they have white, tan, and I believe the guy who did my top said red. He also told me he could custom make me one any color, and I could of even gotten a vinyl one (looks like a leather top) that he said holds up much better than the stayfast, but it also cost twice as much and I didnt have the money at the time

Hey bud,

Yeah, it probably is. With the few ragtops in Norway, it ain't likely to be two like that

Yeah. I don't think there's so many ragtops with that kind of colour in Norway. I'll be surprised if its more than one!

SUPERCHARGER

The supercharger is a Procharger... I can spot them from a mile away LoL Also the Vortechs are usually on the other side of the engine bay, not to mention is says it's intercooled so that's a dead give away
