Re: 1986 pontiac Trans Am 2 seater Convertible Rare

Did you notice the deck lid, at the corners, under that wrap around spoiler? It's almost like, with no glass, the spoiler was a little too long, and they had to create extensions or something.

Also, what looks like a key pad on the driver's door panel. I assume those are the controls for the top?

I'm pretty sure those were there in other years. There is almost always an Autoform on Ebay, but I don't see one now for reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-Chevrolet-Camaro-Z28-Autoform-Convertible-Automobile-Photo-Poster-zch5006-/371049482038?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item566445c736, and it appears to have the two decklid extensions.

Beautiful Car! If I had a vert, I'd want it to be a TA.
