Help Me Find a Convertible

Im in Los Angeles and im having no luck finding a Camaro convertible. If anyone on this board knows of one for sale within 100miles It would be appreaciated. All the ones I have gone to see are just in really beat up condition.

i found a 91 z28 vert with 50k original miles for 10k but I really wanted to only spend like 6-7k at most, I know beggers cant be choosers, but If somthings out there and its decent, I really dont care about miles as long as the car has been maintained.

there's a red iroc convertible in St Charles, MO that supposedly has a new crate motor but doesn't run because it needs a fuel pump. needs body work and interior work and a new top. i bet you could get it for $800 it's been sitting in the same spot for 2 yrs

that would be a very good deal, unfortunently I dont have a trailor for it, so I need somthing that still runs where i could drive it to Canada..unfortunently thats where I live, but verts there cost 15k and up so my bright idea is ill buy one in california where im working and the company will pay me milage to drive home with it.

I know the verts especially the 90's are the most valuable and it wasnt too long ago i saw a 1990 red iroc just like mine sell for the 19k with 20k orignal miles, so i could see me being able to easily get 20k. Just to you let know i am not trying to argue with you.

I was thinking ss hood and ls-1 transplant, but at the same time it would be nice to keep it original. i have a z28 at home to so the vert makes 2.
