Wanted / WTB - 1989 ASC GTA 5.7L Convertible

Thank you for taking time to look at this listing - I am looking for a Gunmetal Gray 1989 GTA Convertible w/ 5.7L and original condition.

I have found two, and unfortunately they both had issues. If you have one, please send me an email (though the site/forum) OR - if you know of one and the owner is interested in selling, please let me know. Thank you.

Looking for a paint code, 87U
Gunmetal Gray Metallic

From published figures/data:

ASC continued to make Convertibles for Pontiac dealerships. A total of 330 Convertibles were reported by ASC. A portion of those were 350 powered Convertibles. NOTE: 1989 was the First year a US Dealership could order T-top and a 350 Engine in a firebird. Since all Convertibles started as a CC1 (T-Top) car and converted by ASC 1989 would also be the only year to get a 350 powered third generation Firebird convertible.
