Sweet! I've never seen a yellow Camaro 3rdgentop drop-top... Phew, that was a long sentance.

 

I'm sure it will be BEAUTIFUL no matter what color you paint it but I REALLY like that yellow color. Very distinctive. Very Unique.

 

Love the yellow too, but I'm partial to Ultra Blue Metallic

 

I love the yellow with black hood blisters.

I'm in the process of having some blisters painted black for my car.
I can't wait to get them done!!

 

Don't get me wrong, I love the yellow and all, but...well, I guess I'm just getting a little older and don't really want it to be so "flashy." I think the blue will be a little more subtle while still looking good all around. Besides, my all time favorite color for an interior is tan. NOTHING looks better than a clean tan interior. And yellow doesn't go with tan.

We sure do love our 'verts in Australia, including going to the trouble of having them converted to right hand drive....

89z, 305TPI T5

 

Madmax- Absolutley love that car!

IroczVinnie- I'd love to see a pic of the dash if you have one. Want to see what you do about the dash when converting to right hand drive

 

I will try to take some pics of the dash on the weekend for u guys!

 

Here's mine, a '91 RS Convertible. 5.0L TBI/auto.

Pic:



Its a work in progress . Can't believe I found it.

 

mine is an ultra rare 1984 TransAm Convertible...
maybe 1 of 20 done by CAR (custom automotive restyling) in 1984

L69/5spd/3.73, deluxe seats, firehawk rims (not shown), needs a new top...

 

Here's my baby, also my first car

Bought it in August of '01 through AutoTrader
88 IROC Vert
305 LB9
Recently replaced trans this summer with a Raptor 700
Also have a PBR 3.27 posi disk rear waiting to go in this summer
All in all haven't done all to much to it besides catback and some suspension work but getting the car to be where i want it to be is going to take some time especially since im' still in college

 

ok - took some photos with digicam on the weekend. Get to work..... can't find my camera cable to connect the camera - will look at home tonight - hopefully can find it!.

 

ok - here we go - bought another cable.......long story.

I have a few photos highlighting some unique things with my right hand drive conversion.

There were a number of companys that converted these cars and most conversions are different in the detail.

I have shrunk the photo resolution so I can post them, so sorry about the loss of detail.

 

another dash photo

 

another showing remote mirror controls moved to right hand side

 

seatbelt position moved in the rear......

pic removed - will have to work out how to post better pics....

 

hopefully pic fixed

pic of engine bay - brake booster and heater moved, steering moved etc.

 

final pic - replaced tire card.

 

here mine a 88 iroc 305 tpi auto. got it in september '03. right place at the right time. i got it for free. only needed a computer and exhaust pipe. there are still some minor things like the dented drivers fender ill get to those come spring

 

Are you sure it's an '88? The IROC decal went to the rear of the door in 1988.

It could just be a replacement decal that was misplaced.

 

yup its a '88 the car was repainted at one time. im assuming that they put it in the wrong location. thry also didnt put teh wraparound stripe back on if it had one.

 

Cool. I figured it was just a boo-boo.

 

all i've done is replace the regular stuff that goes wrong after 120,000 miles and add a dynomax catback and '92 GTA taillights. i just don't have the money or motivation to make it any faster than it is.

 

my soon to be restoration project... I picked this 88 iroc up back around Oct 2003, triple black, the poor thing was neglected so bad, its TBI automatic only, but it sat for a long time with a broken top and the floor pan rusted very bad and killed the interior, i'm just about to have the floors repaired and then i'm painting it, thats why no ground effects or spoiler are on. Its getting 92 style ground effects, 3" cowl hood, 92 dash/interior, TPI 350 with 5spd. also getting 3rd gen export taillights, the 17" wheels came on the car and will be staying....

 

here is my old 88 iroc z convertible, i bought it in September 2000, 355 carb 5spd, (engine swap trans conversion done by previus owner) i had it a month and it blew the engine. I then put in a 383 stroker with the best of everything, i never got around to doing the body before i had to sell it due to finacial reasons in april 2002 (try buying a brand new '01 Camaro SS and paying insurance at 21years old) o well, ... i missed it so bad, thats how the black one above came to be...

 

Ok I just have to know how you got that free 88 convertible!

 

Here is mine. Do you think it would look good with a ss hood? Thanks

 

me?

i got it mostly by being in the right place at the right time. i got talking to someone at a sign shop i was having do a decal for the window on my tbird. he told me that he had the car and had to get rid of it. it had sat at his parents house for 3 years untouched. they wanted it gone. it didnt run (bad computer). he's married w/3 kids and the condos where he lives dont allow cars with loud exhaust. he said take it or he was going to donate it to one of those charities. so needless to say i looked at it and like it.

just the right place at the right time and after he saw the amount of work i put into the tbird i think he knew the car was going to a good place. one of the best parts of the camaro is it has 73xxx miles on it.

 

Here is my 90 Iroc Convertible. She's a little tired with 160,000 miles, but I get to take her out and play.

 

Here's another try!

 

 

Stock suspension here.

 

AutoRoc,
In the Pic below.
Tell us about that roll bar, who's the manufacter, where did you get it, can the back seat still be used, do you have anymore pics of the roll bar and how it fits.

 

Here are some pixs of my 89 TA conv. 5.7L, dual cats, all original except tires, well documented, 26K miles, appraised 8/01 by independent appraisal co for State Farm Ins Co at $16000 cash value. I know I would b hard to get that from a buyer, but at least I am covered if the car was totaled out. Might be interested in parting as I have one child and one on the way.

 

Cannot seem to be able to post more than one pic to a reply.

 

If anyone is interested e-mail me for more pixs
bnc72096@charter.net

 

All factory decals, ASC decals, ASC top instruction manual, window sticker, etc I have. Including documentation from ASC on number of conv. they made in 89. If anyone has doc on how many 5.7L were converted this would be great. I have read several postings and mag articles where they claim 50 5.7L verts were made. But no one can back this up with documentation, all hearsay.

Thanks,
Brent

 

Well here's my convertible. 1992 TA, 305 H.O., A4, WS.6, Black Leather. 1 of 35 convertibles in Jamaican Yellow

 

Here is mine

 

My picture is on my website. Go to the www. at the bottom of my post. Thank ou for putting up a convertible board.

 

My -89 Convertible

New top, 305 TBI, putting in TPI this winter. Having a hard time finding parts for my convertion here in Sweden. Bought most of it from Ebay.

 

Rhydon,

WOW! Those 4th Gen exhaust outlets look GREAT on your VERT!

Great looking CAR!

 

So, I thought I'd throw mine up here...It's an '84 Firebird Convertible which was converted by Autoform of Elkhart Indiana. Other than that, I don't know too much more...

 

Glad to see a board dedicated to the 'verts! Here's mine....driven exactly once (New Year's Day, in fact!) in the last 4 months (this has NOT been a good winter for convertibles). The resto was done in '02...this year, we'll be doing some tuning with the fuel system, a new stereo, probably some accents on the flames and/or paint...and I'm still trying to decide on wheels. I like the Ronal Firehawks, but I'm not sure I wanna spend $1400 on one of the few remaining sets still around. I guess we'll see...

 

Another view....

 

I've never seen so many gorgeous ThirdGen convertibles gathered in one thread before!

I'm a t-top guy myself, but around here the 'verts are so bloody rare you'd think they never made them!
