What exactly does "Special Edition 0081" mean. Is this something that was actually made, or is this a scam I might be looking for a convertable.

When you're talking about an aftermarket convertable conversion, it could mean just about anything, but since it's not stock, it really doesn't matter.

Too bad they gave that car the Krylon interior treatment, because the car looks killer otherwise.

 

The outside is nice but thet interior is really killin that thing. Tan is my all time fav interior color but add green and that is one of the ugliest color combos for a interior.

Also ditto on the Krylon interior

 

It looks like a ascd job, could have been a dealership conversion. I'll go with everyone else here, nice exterior but the interior would be alot nicer without the painted tan accents

I bought it yesterday... I agree on the interior. I'm going to try and find some stock seats somewhere... Anybody have any leads? brent@rallstech.com

 

you know what? i would REALLY like that interior if there wasnt that nasty green in it. i like the tan dash and console, its very different. kinda mercedes like if you ask me.

 

So how is it? Looks like a good buy for 54000miles........now get to work on getting that green outta that car.

 

omg that interior is disgusting.. regular ol' tan interior would look so much nicer imo

 

The car is pretty decent. It's an amatuer paint job with alot of dirt in it and some fish eyes here and there. Looks great from 10-20 feet away. I'm not sure what I'm going to do on the interior yet. If I can find a donor car I'll pull everything out of it and put in the convertible. I might even try to find some newer camaro seats... The car is missing now. I didn't drive it when I bought it because it started raining right when I pulled up to get it after a 500 mile drive! I'm hoping it's just a set of plugs... never know. The guy I bought it from says that it never had a miss when he drove it. Guess it just started when I pulled it off the trailer... Oh well, that's the way it goes.
The car get's alot of attention... Not quite as much as my 69' though.
Anybody know where any articles online are for the special edition car's like this?
I have worn out the keypad looking around!
THanks!

 

Have you tried the history/ restoration board here. Those guys may have the info your looking for. Good luck, nice car.

 

i usually love cheesy interiors...but i just cant get myself to like this one.

 

that sounds like on the previous owners part to me.

 

Am I the only one who questions this, you didn't drive the car!~????
? A little rain, this is a car you're buying...........

 

The convertible conversion on this car was done by ASC. This is the same company that did the factory conversions, but factory conversions didn't start until the 1987 model year. Your car was done as an aftermarket conversion prior to GM having them done. ASC used numbered badges on the dashboard for all aftermarket conversions. That is the badge you have. ASC also did aftermarket conversions even after they did them for GM as well. So from 87 to 92 it's possible for a vert to be aftermarket or factory even though the same company did the conversion. You can tell the difference by the dash badge and by the 6th digit in the VIN (2 for aftermarket, 3 for factory).

 

ASC did not use numbered badges for all aftermarket conversions, maybe in 1986 but not thereafter.

 

Wow, I really like that tan dash... I think it compliments the green car very nicely. And that car looks VERY badass! I'd never think 18" rims could look good on an 80's car... I was wrong!

 

i agree i like the tan dash and console, just get rid of the green in the seats and panels.
