This may sound strange, but I've seen more 88's with the digital dash than without.

hey everyone im new to thirdgen.org and finding a convertible specific forum is sweet.
i bought mine in feb 04 and needed a bit of work. the center section of the spoiler was missing so i replaced it with a different wing and am in the process of smoothing out the spot welds on the sides. the front and rear covers need work. the rear was off a teal car and the black paint is coming off. the front met a curb the day i lowered it. i had to replace the motor 4 days after i bought it. i found a rod bearing in the oil pan. oh well it was a good start to moding it. it sports a 350 l98 and 5 speed. im doing body and interior work now. ive done a little suspention work to it.

You should see some of the rides that guy has bought off ebay. Seems like he's bidding on every low mileage 3rdgen that comes up, and he's won quite afew. Wish I could see his garage(s)!

And I bet he's one of us!

Was it only GTA' verts?
