ok, bought a -91 ragtop and can't find the spare tire, i tried to get 14" tire in the small space in the trunk and it's too big. is there a secret hiding spot or does a "space saver" go there, if a space spacer goes there where do ya put the milk, bread and eggs.

thanks

 

The spare tire came uninflated so that it would fit in the storage area. There is a little inflater canister attached to the tire to inflate it when its needed. I took mine out since I dont plan on using it.

 

The spare which is an uninflated space saver tire, consists of the tire, a gas cylinder, etc., is in the left rear fender well, the same location as for regular 3rd gens.

 

Make that space-saver spare tire is located in the right rear fender. On 91-92 'verts it is under the molded carpeting. On 1987-90 coupes & 'verts you have to remove the plastic hatch surround on the right side. The spare has a CO2 gas cartridge secured to the backside of it and is held in place with a large-J-hook. The jack is secured to the body behind the spare tire.

Make that my other right. or is that my other left?

Good catch.

 

Keep watching on Ebay. Every now and then you will see a vert spare tire. They are rare, but not non existant...

When I bought my car it did not have the inflator so I carry around a small compressor in my trunk...

Good Luck!
