does anyone know how many 1989 irocz convertibles were made? i would love to know. also based on my setup listed, was there a specif number made with that setup, or is that pretty much the standard for 89 vert?

thanks.

 

3940 convertibles were irocz and 3245 convertibles were rs

 

How many of those convertibles had a 305 5 speed?

 

nobody knows. GM didn't keep track of option combinations.

 

I didnt know they came with 5 speeds!

 

From my understanding and what I have heard from other people, they are not very common.

 

I have an 88 vert Iroc 5 speed ,on comp nine vin decoder it shows Rpo code MM5 as 1489 cars and its listed as 5 speed provisions as well as M39 710 cars with Borg Warner now I dont know if this applies to the convertibles or all T top cars CC1 which I have listed since t top cars were converted to factory convertibles such as what I have.
To me these numbers seem high for 88 convertible 5 speed Irocs,
Another interesting thing about my 5 speed Iroc it was built in 87 making it an early Iroc convertible which was owned by GM Canada for 1 year before going to a Toronto dealership.

 

Just a piece of general info . . . almost all vehicle manufactures start the a new model at some point in the previous year. My '89 was made in Sept '88 for example.

Regarding the 5spd . . . as stated, there are no numbers for specific option combos. At best, we can come up with a generality. Almost all 3rd gen Camaro years that offered the 5spd / auto choice, the ratio was roughly 20% / 80% for all model types. In '89, it was almost exactly that. So a crude guesstimate might be, of the 3940 IrocZ verts produced for the '89 model year, ~788 had the 5spd.
Again, this is only playing with numbers in order to only give us a rough idea.

 

i have a 1989 iroc-z convertible 305tpi 5 speed. does anyone know how many were made. i know they are not very common

 

nope!

 

anyone know how many of the 89s were marked as vert in the vin, and not labled as a ttop and then converted to a vert after leaving factory? i know they were all done by asc but i believe some were marked in vin as ttop (and the only way to get a 350) and some were marked as vert and only allowed the 305. i have the latter and wondering how many were produced in 89, or how i can find out? thaks.

 

If they were ordered from the factory as a convertible, they should be a "3". otherwise, it was a Owner(or perhaps Dealer) aftermarket conversion and not tracked by GM. ASC might know exactly how many 350 ttop conversions they did, but I dont expect them to provide that info to anone that calls.

 

Where in Illinois are you?

 

thanks, but as my post states mine is a factory convertable and i am wondering how many of those were made.

Standard production numbers are right on this site. Go to the home page, camaro tech data, 1989

 

A more general question....were all factory convertibles built at Van Nuys and then run over to ASC? In other words, did they ship any from Norwood for conversion?

 

Well this data is Xcellent this means that about 640 RS Conv were built, wow i have a rare car, 5spd,Conv, Nice

 

Ohh Ohh, I know I know...

142 GTA or Trans Am's with the 350
42 Formula 350's
4 IROC Z's (in 1987)

Mines rare too....in the stupid rare category... Mine is an early 89 with an 88 top.

How many others are out there? i know theres at least 2 of us that have bought the reproduction(from Hawks) trim piece that goes around the handles only to realize its not right for our cars.

Which reminds me i never did return that or whats left of my original so they can make a new mold...hrmm....*mental note call hawks tommorow lol*
