Here's my 87 convertible

I've had this car for about 5 years now and have tracked it to the original owner. Spoke with him on the phone with questions on his car. He was shocked that I could track him down!! Here's some pictures.

Re: Here's my 87 convertible

Forgot to add, Shes got just over 13,000 miles on her. Has the TPI and 5-speed combo. All stock, except the exhaust is Flowmaster, The original owner took off the stock pipes and changed it to a single side dual setup. Sounded good but looked like crap!!!! I love seeing the other 1987 verts!!!

Re: Here's my 87 convertible

Nice car! I have'nt seen many in black, usually red like mine. My car is also an 87 with a tpi and 5spd. It has about 67,xxx on the clock. It too is all stock with the exception of a flowmaster exhaust. I have tracked down the original owner of the car and have emailed him, its nice to get a little history of the car.

I would love to see some verts up close and in person; however, I do enjoy seeing pics of ALL good condition 3rd gen verts - how about some pics of the interior & engine bay.

Congratulations blkiroc87; she's a gorgeous ride.

Re: Here's my 87 convertible

Thanks for the extra pics. Congrats again!

Question - is that a glove box? My 88 doesn't have one.

Re: Here's my 87 convertible
