These pics exist en masse in the the "Your Convertibles" thread that entertains me regularly. Still, I like these kinda pics:



In the background is the Cystral Springs Reservior and the Fifield-Cahill range just south of San Francisco.

this one hasn't got any special backgrounds or nothing just a KMart parking lot (taken shortly after i had driven the FSAE formula car on our race track there)

but it does have a pretty cool angle, at least i think so...

1987 "20th Anniversary Commemorative Edition" Z28 Convertible
12 Confirmed to Exist
2 of the 12 have the 305 TPI / 5-speed Drivetrain
1 of the 2 is fully equipped.
I'm the lucky owner of the 1.

I have the original 15x7 wheels in storage with NEW P215-65R15 Eagle GT tires which were original to the '87 Z28 and have not been produced by Goodyear in over twelve years.

Purple92ss ... thanks for the compliment , there aren't many here in Aust.

Gr89RS... yes it is a Z28 , the stickers were on the car when we got it . if i have a reason to paint in that area i will take them off.
I think the 350 was put in when it was converted to right hand drive and its the only 350/5sp Vert here in Aust that we know of so far.

The BBS ones were/are piles of crap. The other ones are plain old double-line IROC wheels. Both are 16x8 I believe, since both had 245-50-R16 tires on them. I'm probably gonna polish the snot out ouf the IROCs and then sell them so I can get either Boyd Magneatos or Boyd Hot Rods that I really want.
