For a minute I thought I could like it untill I saw it with the top up.

There is just something about not having a rear windshield that makes me not like verts.

That one is incredibly cool however, but something needs to be done to hide those hatch hinges.

*shrug* ... I just think the top needs to be stretched out more to look better.

Now the chrome hinges being on the outside of the trunk.. that is iffy IMO. Either paint them black or put hinges on it that are in the inside.

Looks badass w/ the top down though.

Read condition:

"Needs minor work as to be expected with any 20+ year old car. This car is not practical for everyday driving as it has a 350 turbo trans with 411 gears.No air conditioning, no heater,small power steering leak,and the only guages that work are the oil pressure,fuel and temp. "

4.11s would have to go... that car seems to be more of a cruiser to me. Don't most power steering pumps leak at little? Working gauges could be had in a junkyard for cheap...

I have seen one of those in real life - They were like 82-84 Speedster conversions.

They look BAD *** in real life! I would LOVE one and add the 91-92 GFX with highrise on it.... WOO!

I hate convertibles but that speedster look is AWESOME!
