Looks to me to be just a plain old ASC convertible conversion with some stickers and a custom interior. Looks good though.

More detailed photos would be helpful. Does it have the ASC sticker on the driver's door jamb (that is probably just faded white by now like most of them are)?

Where is it and how much do you want? Is a value question too far off?



I want to see the door jamb sticker. Decal job indeed...

Well, I live in California and have the "California Edition" Firebird.

I think I'm good.



Can you share the VIN so we can see the options it came with?

I'd say the custom upholstery as also mentioned could be part of that package, certainly. It seems the most obvious. I haven't seen one in the Midwest, so that also makes one wonder
