Probably the best example of an early aftermarket vert conversion I've seen!
Very nice.

She is pretty. Not as integrated as the ASC conversions but low miles & in terrific condition. Funny how there is no activity on her. You would think there would be something..

It's an awesome ride but cars like that don't have a very broad buyer appeal. It caters to a fairly specific customer. If the right enthusiast comes along, it should get a decent dollar.

ASC/GM approved verts were introduced in 1987. There were earlier verts done by outside companies.
