Interesting car. 120 MPH speedo, so not a performance model.

Hello, Pontiac factory did not have an Official Deal with ASC convertible conversions as did Chevy factory with the Camaro until1991. The first official Pontiac factory ordered convertible was in 1991. The Pontiac Dealerships though could order the cars just as the Chevy dealers for the 87 -90 Models. The ASC Trans Ams are rare. Here are some numbers on them, do your research, checkout out the car and look for the ASC tag on the door jamb.

* Eighth digit is engine code: E=305ci V8 (L03) F=305ci V8 (LB9) S=173ci V6 (LB8) 8=350ci V8 (L98)
Good luck with the hunt, hope you get it
I own a 1989 Camaro convertible, great car.
